Completely Lekker Lekker here from Berlin-based Dubliners Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith (Lakker). What type of sorcery is this?

Lullahush – Clothes
Yet another slick as an oil-spill artist hailing from my home city of Dublin, Ireland. I was sent over this tune earlier this week and instantly knew I'd be sticking it up of on the site.

As... Continue Reading →
David Kitt – Hammer Time
