Matt’s Top Singles of 2009

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Here we go with a run down of what was hot this year in music…

10 – Patrick Wolf – Hard Times

Patrick Wolf was not on my radar before I caught his performance at this year’s Great Escape Festival. Hard Times was the 2nd single release from his album ‘The Bachelor’ and makes a statement with lyrics like “mediocrity [is] applauded” and “ignorance is still adored” against a backdrop of rock guitars, celtic strings and electro beats. Wolf is creative, original, musically accomplished and always has something interesting to say.

9 – Frankmusik – Better off as Two

Better off as Two is one of many excellent tunes on Vincent Frank’s debut album ‘Complete Me’. Showcasing his falsetto vocals this also benefits from quirky production and a rousing chorus. He’s also brilliant live and was arguably one of the highlights of Bestival 2009.

8 – Hockey – Song Away

Hailing from Portland Oregon Hockey have been making waves on the festival circuit in Europe throughout the summer and this track is the 3rd release from their debut album ‘’Mind Chaos’’. It might be blatantly commercial but it’s neatly peppered with references to the 80’s and a real toe tapper. I love this band and this track never gets dull.

1234 Shoreditch Festival

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

UK Music Jobs recently teamed up with Shoreditch Radio to do some live interviews with acts performing and attending the 1234 Festival in Shoreditch Park.

We nabbed chats with members of My Tiger My Timing and Rifle Volunteer who were enjoying the acts on display. We also managed to spend some time with Hatcham Social and Polly Scattergood as soon as they came off stage. Enjoy!

Oxjam 2009 & UK Music Jobs

Monday, April 13th, 2009

On Thursday 12th March 2009, UK Music Jobs hosted their 2nd Oxjam event at East London’s legendary venue 93 Feet East. Over 180 people turned up to see the brilliant performances, enjoy a few beers and do their bit for a great cause.

First on stage were the scorching hot electro/pop band My Tiger My Timing, playing a full set including debut single ‘This Is Not The Fire’ produced by Andy Spence of New Young Pony Club fame. Oozing charisma with great tunes and and more musical talent than you can shake a stick at, MTMT kicked off proceedings with a bang.

Next up we had DJ/Musician Butcherd Beats, featuring guest vocalists Kelli-Leigh & A_Jazz, Mobo Award winning rap artist Wizdom from Green Jade, world class percussionist Beats De Vyne and European Break Dance Champion Bboy Jjui. The Butcher brought a touch of old skool Ibiza to 93 Feet East, mixing R&B, break beat and classic house along with dropping a pretty astonishing drum n’ bass track ‘Blind Reality’ which sent the crowd wild and confirmed Butcherd Beats as an artist of incredible range and talent.

Headlining our event were three sexy, sassy electro pop princesses, Red Blooded Women. Showering the adoring crowd with their trademark quips and banter, the girls launched into a stonking set including their single ‘Enjoy The Silence’ currently at number 12 in the UK commercial pop chart.

The total amount raised from ticket sales was a whopping £722 so thank you to all those who came down and supported the night.

See you next year!

The UK Music Jobs team.

Single Review – My Tiger My Timing – ‘This Is Not The Fire’

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

SINGLE REVIEW
ARTIST – My Tiger My Timing
TRACK NAME – This Is Not The Fire
RELEASE DATE – Monday 6th April 2009
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER - http://indiestore.7digital.com/silvermusicmachine


 

My Tiger My Timing have spent recent months making waves via their live shows up and down the country and now officially arrive with their debut single ‘This Is Not the Fire’.

Already impressing both the music press and radio, the track has been championed on Radio 2, 6 Music and playlisted by X-FM. With lyrics hinting at a disintegrating relationship, the male/female vocals give double meaning to the term ‘dual’ and take this electro-pop gem to an appropriately intense crescendo.

On production duties, New Young Pony Club’s Andy Spence adds a synth-polish to proceedings and manages to import that bands knack for coolly detached pop music that expertly blends guitar and synth.  This is My Tiger My Timing’s show though, easily side-stepping any comparisons with their contemporaries with a staccato delivery that is all their own. This tiger has hit the ground running.
