Transit 002012-13 by Let’s Be Brief on Mixcloud
2012 was a great year for music. In tribute to those who’ve provided us with such sonic pleasures, LBB put together a little gift to make the transition into 2013 a little easier.
It’s not too late for us to wish you a Happy New Year is it? No? Good. Happy New Year…

If you’re only in it for the presents then we appreciate your honesty. We’re only in it for the food.
If you’re not in it all, then fair play to ya. Either way, here’s a little something courtesy of LBB Talent’s very own Sky Nash.
Appy Xmas: one day every card will be an e-card.
Eleanor Crow’s subtle watercolours exude the quaint, very non-corporate charm of London’s independent tea shops to snack bars. The individual character of each establishment shines through in these watercolours.
A range of these fine London Cafe’s were featured in It’s Nice That this week, featuring our very own Cafe Bliss. Erkan will be right chuffed with that.
Ouzin works boulevard voltaire. Photographer Franck Bohbot met him in 2011, in Paris. Other than that I know no more, but this feels like the beginning of a story yet to be told.
Experimental typography by Ruslan Khasanov. Why fuss over serifs and fancy ligatures when you have lenses and light. The appropriate descriptive here is ‘organic’. Yeh, let’s go with organic.
Not content to rest on the impressive laurels of The Love She Wants EP, we’re well chuffed to announce the pending release of The Insomniax Friday Comes – The Re-Manuva featuring Hip-Hop legend Roots Manuva on dynamic vocal duty.
Top that off with a remix by Widows’ Bobby Evans and some real arthouse minimalism by RBMA alumni Swede:art, and what you have is a sophisticated smash. Friday soon come – December 10, 2012 on Earnest Endeavours.
Maybe it’s the architecture of East Berlin. Maybe it’s the fact the streets seem so clean. Maybe it’s the sky that is always so blue. Whatever it is, photographer Matthias Heiderich frames it all beautifully.
I seem to have bought all of these items separately, but I don’t yet own the manual. Probably explains my exclusion from the hipster fraternity.
Scouts by Paul Octavious makes me wish I’d earned more badges when I had the chance. By the looks of this motley crew, my chance might have come again.
To mark the release of Love She Wants, Dazed Digital sat down with Kai Gama and DSV of The Insomniax, to find out the story behind the EP, and how they’ve put up with each other for, well, their whole lives really. Peep the full interview here.
Plus there’s an added treat as the guys provide all you need to get tuned up for the weekend, with the INX Maintenance Mix. Smaaash.
