You’ve probably heard T2 and Addictive’s sugary sweet tune “Gonna Be Mine” plenty by now, but have you seen the new video? T2 also has a new song out called “Butterflies”.

Super shiny and low-budget like a video produced by MC Pressure and crew… ([More →])

Ever wonder what everyone else is listening to? Today’s list of Top Rankin Tunes is compiled from what was most popular among ([HearingTest]) readers in 2007. This is definitely the most pop-oriented of all the lists; starting with the the most-played tune: Alicia Keys and Jr. Reid’s reggae soul remix of “No One” followed by the tune that Jah Cure released at the same time he himself was released from Tower Prison. These two tunes were receiving thousands of plays per day for weeks! Recently, the audio CD that comes with Ghostface Killah’s new book “The World According To Pretty Toney” has been streaming pretty much round the clock on computers around the globe and linked to on numerous hip hop BBs. Other big contenders include Foxy Brown’s don diva anthem with Mavado - “We’re On Fire” - released during her incarceration in Rykers Island and the club anthem of the year in UK - T2 and Jodie Aysha’s incredible infectious “Heartbroken” which puts the bounce in Bassline music!

Pull up Selecta, let’s hear those tunes one more time! Here are my selections for the Top 10 Tunes and 15 Albums Released In 2007… Tune in again tomorrow for a REWIND of the Biggest Tunes Published On ([HearingTest]) in ‘07! ([More →])

T2 hit the bigtime with Jodie Aysha and “Heartbroken.” These days, the lucky lad is working with the lovely Addictive ladies. The vocal duo were in the BBC studios recently along with T2 in sesh with Cameo. Here’s video of the BBC 1xtra sesh: ([More →])

Finally have the audio for T2’s “Heartbroken” featuring Jodie Aysha, can’t wait to get the vinyl now! The single dropped on CD and vinyl today, but my paycheck was delayed, so I might just have to ring up Amoeba and put that shizz on hold! In the meantime, I’ve added it to the player so it can mingle with the other hot tunes in there right now….

If you’re just tuning in, “Heartbroken” is probably THE Tune of 2007, representing the youngest offshoot of UK garage, Bassline/Niche music…. There’s a vid and plenty more info on HearingTest about T2 and Bassline, so just use the search box or browse the electronic music section.

This week there have been a number of good interviews and articles posted online from stellar writers immersed in the UK music scene. Rather than rehash what’s already been said, I’ve decided to resurrect the Rewind! (Rewind! is simply a roundup of links to what’s good, what’s new, wha gwaan on the web, and it used to be a regular feature here on HearingTest.) This particular Rewind! features links to some great articles written by a few music journalists that I enjoy reading: there’s a T2 interview, a Durrty Goodz interview, Grimewatch, proof that Grime’s Not Dead, plus video of Skepta in the BBC radio studios with Mary Anne Hobbs, Wiley clashing Ghetto, and a dubstep documentary!

T2 comes proper with the brand new video for “Heartbroken” featuring Jodie Aysha. I’ve regularly declared how much I hate the autotuner, but her voice shines through so wonderfully that I have to let it slide this time. Jodie is absolutely sweet and the tune bumps! Check the new video: ([More →])

For those of you don’t know, UK garage music spawned grime and dubstep music. The latter two have been attracting a bigger and bigger spotlight this year with hit smashes from Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Skream, Skepta and more. Meanwhile, the garage producers have been keepin it real with techno and house heavy club bangers and slowly developing a “new” Niche called Bassline House. ([More →])
