This month we have the amazing Twin Cities down at Brookney Stomp.

I know these cats through my band mate D.Ablos (The Clown Prince), met them a couple of years ago and they have always impressed me with the music they make, the parties they throw and their general "top-boy" attitude.

OK so here is their official biog ---



- for Twin Cities that's a Eureka moment, not a reason to hit delete. Where others might reboot the sampler, Guynamite and Analog Jones call in the string section, add some Brazilian drummers and write a killer pop hook so it all makes sense.

Through many a late night, wide-eyed studio session they've combined forces to create a funk-drenched juggernaught of an album called 'Like That Every Time'. While putting the song at the heart of each track, Twin Cities fearlessly combine influences with a healthy disregard for hype or convention. Joining them on this roller-coaster ride are a transatlantic All-Star cast of vocalists including Shea Soul, D.ablo, Ne'a Posey and Duchy. The resulting album sounds fresh but delivers enough timeless moments to soundtrack a lifetime.

Twin Cities under other guises (Guynamite/Analog Jones/Guynamukat) have already attracted the attention of tastemakers across the globe with airplay from KCRW's Jason Bentley, Toshio Matsuura, Michael Ruetten and Radio 1's Gilles Peterson. The restless duo are busy working on numerous side projects and remixes and, alongside D.ablo, run London's notorious Boglewaltz parties.

This debut double A-side 'Raincloud/Anticipation' takes their melodramatic sound out of the basement and lets it loose on an unsuspecting world. Raincloud features Shea Soul, well known for collaborations with MJ Cole, Phil Asher and last summer's funky house smash 'Make it Funky'. On Raincloud, Twin Cities take her into classic soul territory but mix it up with their own brand of futuristic stardust. Shea delivers on the vocals with a song that's simple, sophisticated and universal all at the same time.
