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.

Sam Knowles aka “Karma Kid” has been stirring up some new creations and breaking out some massive tunes recently.  The 17 year old has done everything from remixing Bon Iver (very well) to getting a forthcoming release on L2S Recordings. Well here is his tunage. Starting off with an amazing...

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...

The Rapture – How Deep Is Your Love

A few months ago The Rapture released How Deep Is Your Love. On Tuesday this week, DFA got in touch with the release of the vinyl version of the remixes that includes A-Trak‘s Dub For Mehdi version, a homage to his good friend Dj Mehdi who passed away a few months ago and a remix...



Death Rattle

Death Rattle

My favorite band Los, who became That Mouth, have split up in September and I didn’t even know about it until recently, when I saw this feed on my facebook for this new band called Death Rattle. I’ve had the great privelage of organizing a gig with them on the bill last year and am...



Crimson

Crimson

Hey I’m Viers , I will be trying to do regular features. Now, I’ve know of Crimson for a long while now, always kept my left eye open on him. He has been crossing the boundaries somewhere between where dubstep left off, old 90’s 2-step and some deep dungeon sounds and massive reverbed percussion hits. Here...



Chocolate Robots

Chocolate Robots

If you caught a whiff of the Strokes with this and felt like it’s an American version of the Libertines, then you’re not alone. I kinda like the shambolicness of it all and the story about this band is actually more than meets the eye (and quite impressive.) Chocolate Robots is Mike, Marco and Mutt...



Viers – Can’t U See

Viers – Can’t U See

UKG producer Jordon Saxton aka Viers, previously featured on this blog awhile back, has a new track out and it’s fucking mint. Funky 2 step-y vibes with an uplifting feel, wonky basslines makin a comeback: [Viers - Can't U See] It seems like he’s been on a roll recently, with a coupla fresh new tracks...



Craig Williams – Lemur

Craig Williams – Lemur

Not really an acid kinda person, but this new Craig Williams track has sealed itself to be this Friday night’s 2am dancefloor contender. Pounding 4/4 beats meets meaty basslines. I’m liking the crazy big room reverb and unstoppable build ups: [Craig Williams - Lemur] In an almost similar vein, check out this old remix he’s...



Holy Ghost! – Wait And See (Christian Strobe Remix)

Holy Ghost! – Wait And See (Christian Strobe Remix)

A pre x-mas gift from Christian Strobe, quite a good one for a Sunday night. He’s turned this indie / disco dance track from Holy Ghost! into a poppier uplifting “cosmic house” number – big beats and warm synths that take you round the universe and back. The video for the original track is really awesome....



Fiordmoss

Fiordmoss

First on the list and my personal favorite by a long way is Fiordmoss. They are a 3-piece outfit consisting of a singer, acoustic guitar, and a synth/sample/keyboard player. The result is something that is akin to Portishead and Bjork, in equal parts but a lot better and different.



HOLY – The Wrong Side

HOLY – The Wrong Side

Holy is a FUCKING AWESOME shouty screamy hardcore punk from Milano, Italy. Lashings, of tough old-school styles meets Level Plane records screamo vocals. Short, fast, loud – 8 furious songs recorded pretty much over the course of a few days in a hot rehearsal studio in Italy. Their self titled ep is coming out January...
