No Time is a biting, growling, whiskey-sodden tune, a delicious rock song with an ice cold southern drawl. Fans of The Black Keys, early Kings of Leon and The Dead Weather will feast on this gorgeous rock and roll treat. Taken from their second album, The House That Dirt Built, "No Time" tears its way through the air to land in your ears with a crash. Southern blues, made punch-drunk and mixed in with sharp acid funk give this track a modern twist on blood n'tears brawler rock.
With fast, lyrically fireborne vocals juxtaposed to the introductory riff and percussion, funky horns and brass, and eardrum-crunching guitar, Kelvin Swaby's first haunting wail fires the starting pistol for Dan Taylor's opening guitar salvo. Overall, No Time is delicious. It's got a fanstastic, uplifting chorus that blends heartache and alcahol-blurred rock, and is a thouroughly enjoyable track for followers of that rockin', rollin' star in the sky.

"Pon de Floor" Major Lazer & Vybz Kartel
The collaborative project of DJs Diplo and Switch, Major Lazer is - apparently - a veteran of the secret Jamaican zombie war of 1984; he rides a hoverboard, battles nocturnal nasties such as vampires and the undead, and "parties hard". Moving aside from the musical persona of the Major, the duo have just ended a US tour and were nominated in the MTV Video Awards for Best Breakthrough Video (for Hold The Line)
Taken from the debut album "Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do", Pon de Floor is remeniscent of Basement Jaxx, Santigold or Chemical Brothers; catchy repetetiveness hooked up to an beat. If you wanted more of a sound compass, vocalists such as Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal and Nina Sky. Pon de Floor is a turbulent, choppy track, slipping in and out of consciousness - a rolling, thunderous electronic sea. It should be used as the soundtrack to a mobile phone advert. Basically, if Mr T was into dub, this is what he'd come out with.
