Halls has been a name whispered on a need-to-know-basis over on the DiS boards since the release of his Fragile EP (which you'll find streaming in full at the end of this piece). He is a South London based producer name Sam Howard, but that doesn't even begin to describe the way he elegantly conjoins the sparseness of electronica/post-dubstep with the soaring heart-ache of the saddest of troubadours. If you can imagine Burial remixing Shearwater or James Blake producing the next Martin Grech/Thom Yorke record, then throw a hint of Nils Frahm's haunting pianos into the mix, you might find yourself in a place not too far from the grandeur of this young talent»

News: we're sticking with this DiScover Mixtape format (you seem to like it!), but from now on we're going to bring it to you in two installments per month, sorta like Side A and Side B on a 'real' cassette tape. So here's the first, and from now on you'll be seeing six new tracks per feature, hopefully making it a little bit more digestible and giving you more of a chance to listen to our writers' selections. Good idea? We reckon so.»

Another week, another DiScover Mixtape... with all this new music, we are really spoiling you (say in a sleazy European accent, liberally smattering zees and vees all over the place).»

There's a lot of new music out there, that's for sure. So rather than just spew words at you about why you should be listening to band A rather than band B or C, we've decided to give you the choice - them, plus bands D, E, F, etc. - in the form of this handy (and, from now on, regular) DiScover Mixtape.»

Johnny Foreigner have played something like 892 shows in the last 18 months. They also managed to release a super debut album - that's pretty impressive. Here's the latest instalment of their tour diary where they take in the sights of Leicester, which involves graffiti penises, silvery balloons and Kelly wearing a horse-mask. »

The first Rollerpalooza (co-promoted by DiS) took place in Sheffield on Saturday evening, and it was everything we hoped it'd be and plenty more besides. Bands plus booze plus skating certainly equalled fun - all the acts hit the rink over the course of the night, while members of headliners Black Lips even donned skates for their set.»
