After flirting with camp chicago house on his underrated Pink Cloud EP, before returning to his disco, soul and funk roots on impressive second album Return To Paradise, new EP Quantum Physical Vol. 1 meets comfortably in the middle. The rolling electropop basslines of "Fascism" are particularly addictive.

Frank Hamilton - Teenage Dirtbag
A surprisingly tender and textured acoustic cover of the teenage rock hit. Frank's voice shivers with meekness in this quintessentially British reinterpretation of the track.

Lucy Spraggan - Mountains
The X Factor probably think of Lucy as the "one that got away", after she was forced to drop out of the competition due to sickness, a competition she was comfortably leading I might add. Her debut album Join The Club is everything you could for from the intelligent and talented Spraggan, but "Mountains" is its crowning glory. First heard on the X Factor, as a result of a brave choice to sing an original song in the first week of live shows, "Mountains" is touching and inspiring lyrically, and soothing and majestic musically. Few X Factor alumni have needed to X Factor less to succeed; Lucy was the whole package from day 1.
