[Listen] James Blake - "Voyeur" (Album Version)

James Blake takes to BBC Radio once again to drop some new music from his upcoming sophomore album Overgrown. This time it's the album version of "Voyeur", which we previously heard the "dub version" of not too long ago. Prepare yourself for four-and-a-half minutes of flourishing avant-garde production.

Going back to the "dub version" of "Voyeur", the song will be released as a single through Blake's label 1-800 Dinosaur along with a b-side titled "And Holy Ghost". Just a few days back, Blake let loose this b-side on Benji B's BBC Radio 1 program, and you can stream a radio rip below.

Overgrown is out on April 8th via Republic Records.

[Listen] AlunaGeorge Cover "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book

AlunaGeorge dig deeper into the Disney vault after modernizing fairy tales earlier this week, this time focusing on The Jungle Book. For those who remember the 1967 film, it featured a ton of memorable songs that, for me at least, have stuck around well past childhood. AluneGeorge decided to cover Louis Prima's "I Wanna Be Like You" during a BBC Radio 1 live set, and their take on the classic is pretty fantastic. Stream it below.

Body Works, AlunaGeorge's debut album, is out on July 1st.

[Watch] D-E-W-L - "Nobody Make A Sound" (Official Video) & Wave Machines Remix

The duo D-E-W-L unleashed their track "Nobody Make A Sound" earlier in the year but I completely forgot to throw it up. It's dark, unsettling and the video accompaniment is just as twisted. It features a narrative of two deaf girls sneaking out and meeting a suspicious looking older man in a car. It's a little unnerving but it sits perfectly alongside the D-E-W-L track. Watch the video at the top.

As well as that though you can check out a remix from Liverpool's Wave Machines who turn the first part of the track into an equally eerie spacious number but as it progresses it turns into a little more of a dance worthy number, albeit a number you'd find yourself dancing to at 5am at WHP but still, it's a little more uptempo drum filledwith it's pad beats. The air of strange is still fully intact from the original though. Check that out below.
