BTSTU by Jai Paul

Jai Paul is a pretty well-known British songwriter and producer. Some of you may recognize his song, “Jasmine”, from Grand Theft Auto V or from music blogs, but “BTSTU” is one of his older tracks. Jai is a man of mystery, because he has stayed out of the public eye. But his talent and unique sound have kept him in the public ear fer sure! For those of you who already know this song, listen again; and for those of you who haven’t heard it, download this song STAT. You won’t be able to stop dancin’ to it.

Mother by The Night VI

Burberry Acoustic is an interesting project; its mission has been to expose mostly unknown British folk bands or singers by shooting them playing in interesting spaces. One of the most beautiful spaces was a London rooftop at sunrise, and it features a young folk sensation, Roo Panes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agqu6XAjpIA). But “Mother” deserves this post, because the six band members combine such unique instruments to create such a relaxing song. The members hail from all over the world and could all be Burberry models. Fitting then, that Burberry Acoustic got ‘em while they’re hot (but they’ll be hot for a while by the looks of it).
