This week, Rigsy and Stu were joined by BBC R1's Phil Taggart to chat about a few of their favourite new tracks.

Joni - Running
Rigsy: “This is really up my street…. There’s kind of weird break beats - sort of garage’y… there’s still that kind of welcome fussiness in what she’s doing. Brilliant stuff. ”

Phil: “She wrote it... listening to Paul Woolford and Burial, and you can kind of feel that urban bassline in it. It’s just realty interesting, there’s not really a lot of other sounds like that coming out of the south of Ireland at the moment.”

The Pacifics - Say You Love Me
Stuart: “Garage tub-thumpers.. I just love the zest of them… kind of spirit of very early Beatles.”

Wood Burning Savages - Premier League
Phil: “This is something completely different. Four dusty characters from Derry and they deliver this vitriolic lyrics and vocal presence in a way that you could only do if you were from mid-Ulster or Derry. ”

Best Boy Grip – Can’t Buy Love, Son
Phil: “I just absolutely adore everything that Best Boy Grip has done. He just makes very, very unique, really ridiculously polished music.”

Rigsy: “Some of his music is fun bordering on quirky… He seems to be drip feeding tracks from the record debut album… this one here is a little bit more emo I guess.”

The Graceland Conspiracy – We Are Chaos
Stu “At the core of that act is Colin and Paul, who have got a bit of form/have been in various bands before, and that amazing vocal at the front of it all is Edelle McMahon.”

Tour Alaska – I Bit The Bullet
Phil: “You might recognise the silky vocal on this as it belongs to Gerry Norman, who’s the lead singer from A Plastic Rose… He’s always talked with such pride about the music he’s been writing on the side under Tour Alaska - and it is spellbinding, it’s absolutely beautiful. ”

Rigsy: “We’re all really blown away by this”

Stevie Mac - O Victoria
Rigsy: “Stevie Mac.. Worked with numerous musicians of note, but now has quite an arsenal of material under his own name... I guess (this is) the most upbeat radio friendly one, but the entire EP worth checking out for sure... A man with a big chorus.”
