Lowtones Shine on ‘You’ve Got Me’
Lowtones are a band born in basements but destined for bigger stages. Their new single ‘You’ve Got Me’ thrums with the pulse of late-night hedonism, a woozy indie-pop concoction built on hypnotic basslines and sultry vocals. Sheffield duo Connor Berry and Flynn Hudson-Dean stitch together grit and glamour in equal measure, creating something that feels both underground and utterly irresistible.
At its heart, ‘You’ve Got Me’ is about groove. The bass digs deep and never lets up, while the production sparkles with that expansive, head-swimming sheen reminiscent of Tame Impala. There’s also a sleazy strut to it, an echo of Parcels’ nocturnal charm, but shot through with the band’s own DIY urgency. The result is a track that feels seductive and subversive all at once.
What sets Lowtones apart is their ability to merge polish with rawness. Entirely self-produced and recorded, this single carries the hallmarks of a band in full control of their sound, sculpting something lush without sanding away its edges. The track breathes with intent, pulling you into its shadowy corners before exploding into swaggering, danceable release.
The video amplifies this aura. Filmed by the band themselves in Sheffield’s Hallamshire Hotel and their own basement, it’s a gritty, atmospheric extension of the music—smoke-filled rooms, dim-lit glances, the perfect visual playground for a sound dripping in midnight allure. It’s this self-sufficiency that makes Lowtones compelling: a band crafting not just songs, but worlds.
With ‘You’ve Got Me’, Lowtones have set the tone for a new era. It’s confident, stylish, and utterly infectious—proof that the next great UK indie-pop export is already sharpening its teeth in the underground. This isn’t just a song, it’s an invitation: to move, to sweat, to lose yourself in the haze.

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch
Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.
For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.
The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.
There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.
The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.
Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
