I keep harping on about it, but Burial’s new EP ‘Kindred’ is absolutely out of this world. The middle track ‘Loner’ has a video, which you can watch below. It is not known whether it is official or not, but was made by Miguel Bidarra.

Number 4: The Weeknd-House Of Balloons
The Weeknd released three mixtapes in 2011, this was the first and best. Grimey, dark dubstep beats, along with perfect R’N’B vocals created a unique sound. ‘House Of Balloons’ was a landmark record in the restoration of R’N’B music.
Number 8: The Weeknd-House Of Balloons/Glass Table Girls
One of the great discoveries of 2011 was the magnificent ‘House Of Balloons’ mixtape by The Weeknd. In the same vein as Frank Ocean’s laid back R’N’B vocals, what separates Abel Tesfaye is the amount of different musical styles he incorporates in his music. From R’N’B vocals, Dubstep beats, Electronic chords and sweeping soul, this track epitomises the mood of the record. With a epic chorus and a killer beat and seriously trippy, sex filled lyrics. It suddenly drops into dirty, grungey dub beats. Awesome track and record.
