Benoît Pioulard, real name Thomas Meluch, has always had a penchant for music that is anything but clear cut. His lo-fi, increasingly ambient, work borrows from the worlds of drone and shoegaze but is not clearly defined as being a part of either. In a sense its hazy, almost detached, tone lends it to a sound world beyond that we normally inhabit as listeners but the emotional weight added by the vocals mean that the aforementioned world beyond is one more belonging to the heart than the ears.

When the world heard that Snoop Dogg had converted to the Rasta movement, and that he’d be changing his name to Snoop Lion and making reggae, some were ecstatic, some were unhappy, and some were thinking ‘so he finally smoked that much weed’. But now, before his Rasta record ‘Reincarnation’ has even hit shelves, it looks like he’ll be moving on to a new style for his next move - or will at least return to the D O double G moniker we all know and love.

For all the earnestness and pretension often inherent within the genre, singer-songwriter based folk holds a timeless role in popular music. Personal tales of life, love and loss are never going to go out of fashion and one man who clearly knows that is Conny Ochs. His collaboration with Saint Vitus frontman Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich put the German’s name firmly on the map and, as such, 'Black Happy' is certain to receive a good deal more cursory listens from doom fanatics than one would expect from listening to it.

Grindie, grimecore, dance-punk and indietronica. Those are just some of the various (and somewhat ridiculous) genres that Hadouken! have been pigeon-holed into. While these give you a vague idea of what you’re about to listen to, the London five-piece are primarily a dance act but they often flirt with ideas in the vein of drum n’ bass and dubstep. From their wacky in-your-face debut release 'Music For An Accelerated Culture', Hadouken! experimented more on the electro side with 2010’s 'For The Masses' but 'Every Weekend' has to be their most secure record yet.
