On The DiS Stereo: May 2012
Seeing as my Five-4-Friday hasn't happened the past two weeks (blame Live at Leeds, Camden Crawl and Great Escape ), so this week I thought I'd collect together a heap of things I've been listening to and loving, that have either hit my inbox or been spaffed about on my social network feeds. This mixture of videos and SoundClouds and stuff and things, all probably vaguely suffering from drizzle-misery, with a slice of a heart-ache cake on the side... »

Invite: DiS is throwing a party with Exitmusic, Halls and Dems
We are throwing one of our little events for you (well, as long as you live near-ish to London) next Wednesday, the 23rd of May. It's sort of a 'party' but in the spirit of DiS, it won't necessarily be the cheeriest, most Guetta-esque shebang. Alas, there will be no foam or glitter guns. And although we'll be DJing, you don't need to worry if 'throwing shapes' isn't your thing.»

DiS' 5 Must-See Acts at The Great Escape 2012 + Spotify playlist
Ah, The Great Escape festival. 300+ acts/bands playing over three days and nights on Britain's beautiful south coast in the city of Brighton. To say that we are excited is a given, but we might just be as daunted and overwhelmed by the sprawling line-up. While we know we will miss far more of the event than we'll actually manage to see, here are 10 names you should stick on your schedule, double underline and draw little stars around, according to me (the editor of this website).»

Win! A night out with DiS' editor to see The Antlers + signed vinyl copy of DiS' LP of 2011
You may remember that a band named The Antlers released an album named Burst Apart in 2011, and that DiS really rather liked it. So much so we named it our album of the year. You may also be aware that they're headlining The Shepherd's Bush Empire in London next week (Thurs 26th). We have a spare pair to give away, so that you and a friend can come see them play. Plus the band have kindly signed a copy of Burst Apart to throw in for extra measure. There is a downside however, and that is that you will have to attend the gig with our editor, and he may try and sneak you into the after-party so you can get a photo taken with the band to post on your Facebook (no promises - especially if you sneak off the loo and never come back). »
