Glastonbury 2016 - The Ones To Watch - T-15 Days: Jagwar Ma

Jagwar Ma, Village Underground London 31/5/16

One of my highlights from Glastonbury 2014, Jagwar Ma are now back playing live shows while also recording a new album.



If you were a fan of the last album, especially the Time & Space Dub Remixes of it, I'm pleased to report that their new songs now extend their sound from Screamadelica-era Primal Scream to also cover the Swastika Eyes and Get Yours Rocks Off periods as well.


Joking aside, a Jagwar Ma live show is something you should all experience, as it's a full-on rave-disco-rock mash up of epic proportions.


Although I've always thought of them as very much an 'after dark' kind of band I'm sure they'll cope just fine with being on the Park Stage in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday.

Track of the Day: 'III' - Smooth Operator (Star Slinger edit) by Sade

Perfectly timed for your Christmas or New Year's Eve party, Star Slinger's refix of the classic Sade track presses all the right buttons. He's working trough a series of these and giving them away for free in the run up to the birth of 2014 - he's also done Erykah Badu (which I didn't think was as good) and Anita Baker's 'Sweet Love' (which is great). Have a listen to all three of them below.
