PREMIERE: Penguin Prison - Something I'm Not (Krispin Korg Remix)

LOVE THIS!

2010-03-04T11:23:00.001Z

For no other reason that we love this song, here's Gabs doing "On A Mission" live for Sport Relief:

In other news: just had a peek at the album chart midweeks... looks like there may be some celebratory lemonades to be had round Ellie's gaff this weekend!

Chart Chart Chart

2010-03-01T03:26:00.000Z

So, this week's singles chart is pretty impressive.

Sugababes = No.7

Ellie Goulding = No.4

Not bad eh?!

Let's celebrate with a top remix of Starry Eyed from our star boy Penguin Prison (feat. fellow New York cool kid Theophilus London). I don't know about you but the more I listen to that, the more I want it to be the law that Theophilus feature on every top ten pop song from now on.

And so the world domination continues...

2010-02-27T14:50:00.000Z

Starry Eyed

Liking the remixed video for miss Goulding:

Viva la V V!

2010-02-09T15:50:00.000Z

Friends Electric have remixed Bright Light Bright Light's "A New Word To Say". It's rather good:

A New Word To Say - Bright Light Bright Light (Friends Electric Got Love Mix) by Friendselectric

Penguin Prison: off to a flying start!

2010-01-14T10:42:00.000Z

Ok so traditionally, penguins don't fly... But this one's taught himself.

Already tipped as one on Time Out's Artists of 2010, The Times' One To Watch, and a Clash Mag One to Watch - not to mention a lot of love in blog world, it's looking clear that 2010 is going to be an exciting year for young Penguin Prison (we call him Chris). He's released one single so far (via the ridiculously on-the-ball Neon Gold), with a 2nd single due in March (also on Neon Gold). Don't say we didn't warn you.

Gab vid online!

Ellie WINS.

2010-01-08T15:37:00.000Z

Hello World and welcome to 2010! The year that will become known as "The Year of Goulding". Or "Goulding's Year". Or "The Year The Streets Were Paved With Gould(ing)".
We're talking about our very own Ellie Goulding, in case you weren't following.

Anyway. Not content with winning the Brit Critics Choice Award, and being named as "one to watch" in 99.5% of everyone's predictions for the year ahead, Ellie's topped the BBC's poll of 'industry tastemakers' to be named The Sound of 2010. To say we're rather proud of her and manager Jamie is a slight understatement.

Here's to an exceedingly decent year in music.

New Gabriella Cilmi single!

2010-01-08T14:59:00.000Z

Finally (partially!) unleashed on the world is the gigantic pop monster of a song that is Gab's "On a Mission". I've put my bet on it being No.1 already.
Popjustice have a clip- and as they say, just wait til you see the video...
