About Time: Weekend PlaylistBy Toby Leston

MNEK – Every Little Word

MNEK, who began the year with BBC Sound of 2014 plaudits and Gorgon City’s Ready For Your Love smash hit under his belt, releases this single proper. The funk, the vocal range, the daft punk vocoders – Every Little Word offers a boatload on first listen, and fully establishes this raw talent as the most exciting name in pop right now. TL

Lana Del Rey – West Coast

Lana Del Rey returns with a swirling number, drenched in reverb. TL

DJ Fresh – Make U Bounce

This song makes so little sense you might end up hearing it all summer. TL

Chet Faker – Gold
Chet Faker brings us another slice of perfection as he returns to our ears once more with his new EP, ‘Built on Glass’. You may have already come across and enjoyed ‘Talk is Cheap’ which was pre-released about two months back, still, there are many more joys to be found in the EP; ‘Release Your Problems’ and ‘1998’ are both worth a good few listens. However, the stand out track for many will be ‘Gold’ which beautifully binds Chet’s magical voice with that Jazzy, electronic vibe that with have your head bobbing throughout. OR
