Bad Fotography is a music review mp3 blog

Covering new sounds of the modern underground. Based in Leeds (sometimes Manchester) UK, the sole aim of the blog is to promote, discuss and advertise the music by bands and djs we all love. It didn't start out that way though. Read the history of this blog at the About page.

School of Seven Bells – The Night

Yeah, that’s the new School of Seven Bells line up. My first thought was, what happened to Claudia? And then I remembered she left like, last year. :( Sad times. Vagrant has just hit us up with this brand new track, The Night from the upcoming album Ghostory and their...

Yacht – I Walked Alone (Larry Gus Remix)

I have a love / hate thing with Yacht. I don’t exactly why. The first time I was introduced to this guy, I convinced myself that I didnt get it: all that overblown, self important art school  fluff. He’s probably single-handedly started the hipster-y triangle craze. Wasn’t really a fan...

Exclusive Download: Kevin Jonson – Frozen Road EP

Kevin Jonson and the Huble imprint is testament to the kind of quality techno coming out of France at the moment – my kind of techno. Minimal, elegant, sharp beats, the title track Frozen Road, especially, gets down seriously deep. A little bit dark and melancholy. Serious stuff. I know...

Hubwar & Esteban – Hour Change (FLATMATE Remix)

YESSSSSSS! Flatmate returns. I love these french producers. They take bass music to a completely whole new level. Check the post I wrote about them earlier on here. Really techy, sub heavy and tough bass with dark, emotive synthscapes. Seriously genre defying in the most beautiful way possible. [Hubwar &...

Surkin – Ultra Light

Cannot believe this guy hasnt released any albums! That’s going to change though. Benoit Heitz aka Surkin‘s highly anticipated debut album, USA, drops 7th November and we’ve just been given the preview. It is fucking sexy. 80s influenced club vibes with an unmistakable french flavour (obviously), the album was originally...
The Coathangers

The Coathangers

New favorite band OF THE FUCKING YEAR. The Coathangers (not to be confused with the Raincoats, although that would be quite funny) are a 4 piece all girl punk band from Atlanta and before I can even say check them out before Pitchfork turns them into disposable hipster hype, Big...

Beni ft. Via Tania – Zig Zags

Beni ft. Via Tania – Zig Zags

Just got this from the folks at Modular last week. Beni goes soft on us with this track feat Via Tania. Very unlike his style, yet still very refreshing to switch from dance floor destroyers to something simple and chilled and beautiful like this. Via’s voice is stunning, makes me wanna cuddle a lover, makes...



Skyence

Skyence

Diving into unknown space is Skyence, with his new “Cosmonaut EP” he breaks walls between glitch, breaks and dubbed out 2-step. The first track echoed arps and broken drums just capture the essence of space, keeps you guessing. Best bit is at 1.11 where the metronome is introduced and just messed around with, to sound...



Fear of Tigers – Hidup

Fear of Tigers – Hidup

MY FAVORITE PRODUCER, FEAR OF TIGERS IS BACK!!!! In time for Christmas as well. A very short and succinct email from him but that’s enough for me to go completely delirious. Its a track he’s made “with winter in mind” and it features lyrics recited from a poem in Malay Indonesian. The track is called...



Revilo

Revilo

Just a nice quick one today, guys. Proper deep vibes here via Revilo, nice sprinkling of rnb vocals pitched-out and manipulated, sampled NASA space radio conversations on a bed of 2-steppy beats. It’s a brand new track, its a free download and its fucking good. Get into it. [Revilo - Far Reaching] Go holla at...



RBMA: Amon Tobin

RBMA: Amon Tobin

As we ease ever closer to the wintery, commercially infused wonderland that Is Christmas. Spirits rise, drinks are downed and office parties abound.  Inter office hook ups are resigned to the deepest recesses of conversation and excuses cunningly thought up as to why you just can’t make it in the day after. Classic Christmas vibes....



Hybrid Theory

Hybrid Theory

LU10 Records hit us up with a ton of freebies and we’ve taken the time to listen to every single song and picked out the ones we felt were fresh and guess what, the tracks are all Hybrid Theory‘s. Don’t even think of mentioning Linkin Park – in this selection, Hybrid Theory showcase some deep...



White Fold

White Fold

What started as a mix tape trading relationship between, Cory Thomas Hanson and Jesse Hlebo quickly morphed into an intricate aural and visual project  that gave birth to White Fold. Hanson is better known as W-H-I-T-E and Hlebo via Swill Children. The two collaborated throughout the summer of 2011 to produce the material on the...

Freeze-Tag – Tidal Wave [Video]

New video by Freeze-Tag for Tidal Wave. It debuts TODAY and you guys are one of the first few to see this. If you’re wondering what that lovely piece of kit in the video is, it’s the Roland SP-55, a sweet loops / sampler workstation and evidently, Freeze Tag’s tool of choice. Wanna download Tidal...
