BEHIND THE SCENE: EGG CLUB
10 years of London's Egg Club
The Truth - Jaw Jam - Tuff Wax
New Jersey native, Jaw Jam, makes you think that he's pushing that incredibly current type of clean and clever house-leaning music on the opening track of his new 12" for Tuff Wax. He fully backs that idea up on 'Late Nite' that follows it, but when he gets more playful and ping pongs his delay at the end of 'The End', you realise that he's actually got a pretty awkwardly unique take on the formula.

Please - Solarstone - Black Hole Recordings
Overhearing two ladies glowingly discuss his Pure Trance night during WMC last weekend, the gospel according to Solarstone is clearly getting out there. Fittingly, a 'pure' vocal mantra launches 'Please', which builds with the same cannoning trance bass that propelled 'Jewel' so effectively. With its wickedly infectious (not to mention feel-good) lead-line working at maximum efficiency, it's the better track of the two, too.

Weight Of The Globe - Lily And Madeleine - Asthmatic Kitty
Belying an erstwhile maturity well beyond their tender years, these two young sisters from Indianapolis (16 and 18 respectively) certainly know how to pen a harmony or two. Immediate comparisons may well be drawn with fellow folky siblings The Staves (no bad thing maybe), but there is a definite sense of Americana that comes with their music, and it's in the pure simplicity of 'Back To The River' that these two really come into their own.
