Free Downloads: Night Walks on Vinyl Mixtape & Outlook Festival Mixtape

Edinburgh quartet Hidden Orchestra perform their highly acclaimed “Night Walks” album around Europe in March and April 2011 (dates listed below), after a host of headline shows plus tour support stints for Bonobo and Jaga Jazzist. This follows the ecstatic response to their tour of the UK last April, which saw a phenomenal turnout for a debut act, with all shows at or near capacity, and garnered outstanding reviews, including an iDJ Magazine spread comparing the experience of their live show to that of the great Cinematic Orchestra.

“Night Walks”, released on Tru Thoughts in September 2010, has been met with critical acclaim (including BBC Radio 1 Introducing’s “Album of the Month” and iDJ’s top albums of 2010; radio play from Laurent Garnier, FIP, NME, Radio 1 Prague and may more worldwide) and sparked a genuine and organic buzz among music fans, with a huge demand to experience the music in a live setting. Capping an outstanding year, bandleader Joe Acheson’s ‘Footsteps’ DJ mix came in at No. 11 in Mixcloud’s 2010 chart, having accrued some 20,000+ streams and downloads. A limited vinyl pressing of the album was released in January 2011 and has almost sold out already, and a second single, “Antiphon”, will be released in April.

Neon Jung
The fledgling dance label conceived by Nottingham genre juggler Matthew Cutler (a.k.a.Lone), Magic Wire, just announced it will soon be dropping its third record, a two-song 12″ by newcomer Neon Jung. Though some may recognize producer Tom Brayford-Watson from his earlier work as the hip-hop experimentalist Keaver & Brause, or as part of the blunted beat duo Kona Triangle (with Cutler), this new moniker finds the artist focusing solely on the dancefloor, albeit with a interestingly skewed perspective.
