3. Breakage- 'Fighting Fire' (Feat. Jess Mills)
Such a good new tune from the London-based drum and bass/dubstep producer, will have you hooked from the first beats. Jess Mills beautiful vocals fit the track perfectly too.





4. Liam Bailey- 'You Better Leave Me'
I said he was gonna be big in my 'new artists for 2011' feature, and I think I may just be right... this song, like all of his other is absolutely gorgeous- silky vocals, beautiful instrumentation, just amazing. If you like Plan B's 'Striclkand Banks' album, you're sure to like this track as it has the same sot of vibe. Listen and enjoy...

A beautiful song to end this weeks 'top 5' from York artists Leftwich, one that you could put on your bedtime playlist- sure to senf you into lovely fluffy-clouded dreams. Ahhh...

5 TRACKS YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS WEEK #6

Sorry it's been a while guys! But 'five tracks you have to hear this week' is BACK... and with a vengeance! Check out what's made the shortlist this week...


1. The Strokes- 'Under Cover Of Darkness'
They've been away for aaaaaaaages, but The Strokes are BACK and they're certainly showing everyone what they've been missing with this track. It's the first release from their upcoming album 'Angles' which is set to be released next month. Take a listen and thank you lucky stars that they decided to return!





2. Wiz Khalifa- 'Black and Yellow'
This song is all about the American football team 'Pitsburgh Steelers' who ended up losing the Super Bowl (oops). At least this song is a winner- number one in America right now, and you'll hear why- such a tune. "Yeh, uh-huh, you know what it iiiiiis"- you do now!





3. Crystal Fighters- 'At Home'
Not to be confused with Crystal Castles, Crystal Fighters are a less shouty, Spanish Band who formed in 2007 but are only just starting to get British acclaim for amazing tunes- and this is one of them... It's out on 14th March, so until then, enjoy a listen right here...





4. Clare Maguire- 'The Last Dance'
If you haven't heard this lady yet- you NEED to check out her stuff. Her powerful voice and beuatiful songs definitely won't fail to have an affect on you. She made the top 15 of the BBC's 'Sound of 2011' feature and Jay-Z is even said to be a fan. This is the first release from upcoming album 'Light and Dark'.






5. Diplo Vs. Tiesto (Feay. Busta Rhymes)- C'mon (Catch 'Em By Suprise)
Tieso and Busta Rhymes seemed like an odd pairing to me, but it deffo works- loved this track from the first listen. Sure to leave you 'hypnotised' as Mr Rhymes keeps saying...
