My Favourite EP's of 2015

It has been a while since my last post on summer festivals and as the hideously un-PC lyrics of Bob Geldoff start to pollute our airwaves once more, here are my personal favourite EP's of the year. Winter has come John Snow, winter has come.

TALA - Malika

This is my favourite of the tracks from the Electro Pop, bass heavy Londoner. Who's music draws on influences from her Iranian roots, making for some really interesting production and the brilliance of her voice makes her stand out as one to really watch out for going into the new year!




Jack Garratt - Synesthesiac

Although the song below is not on this specific EP everyone in the UK seems to be discovering Jack Garratt at a phenomenal rate. With his amazing Ed Sheeran esq vocal and James Blake/ Jamie Woon bassy production he has the ability to appeal to huge demographic. Certainly one to look out for in 2016, his debut album is out on the 19th of February.




Kiko Bun - Come Again

This Reggae Dub aficionado in his early 20s has been the soundtrack to my 2015. After witnessing him smash his set at Secret Garden Party I have kept a close eye on all his latest offerings and his newest EP certainly doesn't fail to disappoint. Bring on 2016 and an album please!




Temple Gardens - SandPaper Lies

They are back with their debut EP! Still only been together for less than a year, these Brighton based charming chaps have released their very slick looking debut EP. 2016 has huge promise as a second EP looms and even the possibility of an album by this time next year. Keep up the good work lads and I will be along to a gig as soon as I can!



A.F.R.O (All Flows Reach Out) - Tales From The Basement

This is the future of Hip-Hop. Finally a 'rapper' that isn't sitting on the hood of a Lambogini, sipping crystaaal, and throwing fake dollars in the air. His 90's flow has got heads turning from Preemo to Eminem, if he isn't big in 2016 there is something wrong with people. Oh and he's 18....



Daisy Vaughan - Light On Our Limbs

Now for a real change of mood. This is a wonderful EP from another young buck with a rather endearing story. After being introduced to her by her 'label boss' Cally, who, as well as discovering her, let her make home in a caravan at the end of his garden and in return she made copious amounts of soup. I know, I thought it was brilliantly strange when I first heard it, however her music really does speak for itself and can't wait to hear more.



Ady Suleiman - So Lost

A singer-songwriter who is leading the pack of the plethora that seem to all be trying to get heard in the UK at the moment. Having already teamed up with Joey Badass he's another very exciting one to watch for 2016. With 2 Eps out already I smell an album not too far round the corner.






The Beach  - Maybe

As mentioned in previous blogs, really one to look out for. I said that before the release of their debut EP and it really didn't fail to disappoint. They have released another EP this week, so much like previous artists in this blog we can expect an album early next year. If you get the chance go and see them live, or if you have tickets to Of Monsters Of Men or Kodaline they are supporting so make sure to get there nice and early!





Elder Island - Elder Island

Another band I have mentioned in previous posts but when writing about EP's of 2015 these guys have to get the nod. A beautiful EP that I believe needs more recognition than it has possibly received.

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!
