Wiley – Avalanche Music 1: Wiley

Heavy estate beats, smashed cars, prams with dead babies, police, chicken shop, needles, gold chains, dogs that rip your arms off, people that hate you and want all the stuff you bought from working hard for it. Mine's a chicken burger and chips mate.

Im best at being 90’s, skating alot, drawing and listening to shit excuses for punk (lazily peppered with rap). Thats why when i want some nostalgia i listening all 3 MCM albums in a row and wish I was born in Tokyo wishing I could move to London. This Friday I offer, Mad Capsule Markets – Good Girl

Someithing a little differant this week. After ignoring every possible advert put to me by Spotify i had to be tipped off to this GEM by the more attentive ears of Holly Wales .

Interactive audio novel from Hurts.

This is a band i know nothing of other than a few posters around Shorditch. But this is pretty special...

The first people to utilize Spotify in a whole new fun way., Manchester band Hurts have put together a whole interactive novel simular to the old create your own story books I used to obsess over as a geeky child, pretending to be the protagonist of a far away sci fi adventure, choosing the right path to escape danger or falling in to a worm hole to certain death. collaberating with author, Joe StretchHurt have made the legitimate grown up version.

Hosted by Spotify, the project allows fans to control a central character. Removing any stable tracklisting, the plot will unravel as the user sees fit allowing for any number of possible solutions.

A user led experience, the project is narrated by Anna Friel. Titled 'Don't Let Go' the audio novel is a ground breaking experience, utilising the Spotify programming in an entirely unique way.

Each chapter of the novel has been published as a track on Spotify, and can be located by typing a unique code into the search field. After listening to a chapter online the user is offered a choice on what to do next.

The plot is a typically grandiose affair, given the track records of bothHurts and Performance. Your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to stop arch villain Guy Lockhart from distributing his heartbreak cocktail and condemning humankind forever to a loveless, empty existence.

The two groups are close friends, with Joe Stretch using his alternative career as a novelist for 'Don't Let Go'.
