Song of the Day: Round 25 - Elektric

Yo! I said I'd be back, and here I am. Today I'm writing about an artist that's got me pretty excited! I'm talking about London Elektricity.

As I've said before, Tony Colman is the CEO of Hospital Records and a drum & bass artist known as London Elektricity. He's been in the game for years, with such classic albums as Billion Dollar Gravy, Power Ballads, and Syncopated City.

Now, he's not as hard-hitting as some of his labelmates (Danny Byrd, Netsky, etc.), instead favouring a much more live-playable sound and physical instruments when possible. He even shows jazz influences at times. I'm a sucker for plucked double-bass in drum & bass, and he delivers. Now he's coming out with a new album, entitled Yikes! The song of the day is the first single from that album:

London Elektricity - Elektricity Will Keep Me Warm

This is a beautiful track, not needing any sort of heavy drop, instead being carried by the strength of the vocals. He's also released a couple other tracks from the album. Check out this site for a new music video from the album every Friday until (and including) the April 22nd release. Get excited! And get ready for a post on Two Fingers tomorrow.
