hard to describe (though if i had to, i’d say electronic, soulful, dubstep, with an emphasis on dub), and even harder to google london outfit LV recently released their first full-length record, routes. they’ve technically released it with vocalist, poet, and i’m just going to go ahead and guess based on his twitter handle, benin citizen joshua idehen (though he sounds english as well). it’s really great, cohesive, and honestly i’m just glad to have something more than just two or three LV songs to listen to at once. stream one of my favorites from the album, “deleted scene,” below. you can also stream/download the promo mix for the record here, courtesy of FACT.

LV & josh idehen – “deleted scene”
and because i’m feeling generous, i’m also going to share probably my favorite LV remix. it’s their “disco mix” of a dubstep track by pinch, featuring yolanda called “get up”. it’s really great. see for yourself:
