As one of the UK’s most distinctive rappers, Trim’s musical output has been a bit hit or miss over the years. His distinctive flow and tone was one of the stand out features on the early Roll Deep records and his track Like Me with Becoming Real was one of the most interesting collaborations of 2010. Since then the East London MC has been fairly quiet, save for a couple of intense diss tracks and mediocre singles. 

This latest FACT Magazine giveaway East, is a collaboration with Last Japan and follows hot on the heels of news that  this will be Trim’s last release before signing an exclusive album deal with Rinse.

Following the announcement of the long list of nominees, the candidates for The Scottish Album of the Year are being whittled down to a much more manageable shortlist of ten, with the great Scottish public helping one act onto the list.

The Scottish Album of the Year (SAYA) is a new national prize established to reward and promote the creative diversity of music and art in Scotland. Developed by the Scottish Music Industry Association in partnership with Creative Scotland, the award recognises the most outstanding albums released by Scottish artists in 2011. The SAY Award will place it’s focus on artistic merit rather than sales history, genre or label affiliation, offering £20,000 to the winning album and £1,000 to each of the nine runners-up.

The relationship between music and art is recognised too, with a £20,000 art commission offered to graduates from Scotland’s four principal art schools with the successful candidate going on to create a unique piece for each of the shortlisted finalists.

The list of acts for The Scottish Album of the Year Award is as follows:

• King Creosote & Jon Hopkins – Diamond Mine
• Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat – Everything’s Getting Older
• FOUND – factorycraft
• Mungo’s Hi Fi – Forward Ever
• Twin Atlantic – Free
• Bwani Junction – Fully Cocked
• Steve Mason & Dennis Bovell – Ghosts Outside
• Rustie – Glass Swords
• Mogwai – Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will
• We Were Promised Jetpacks – In The Pit Of The Stomach
• Richard Craig – Inward
• Jonny – Jonny
• Conquering Animal Sound – Kammerspiel
• Tommy Smith – Karma
• Chris Stout’s Brazilian Theory – Live In Concert
• Muscles of Joy – Muscles of Joy
• Fudge Fingas – Now About How
• 6th Borough Project – One Night In The Borough
• Remember Remember – The Quickening
• Happy Particles – Under Sleeping Waves

The eleven strong judging panel will trim the list down to ten with the public being given the chance to vote for one act for 24 hours on 14 May using the SAYA app or through the SAYA website. If the public’s choice isn’t on the shortlist the judging panel will reconvene and cut one of their ten acts to make way for the chosen candidate.

The Radio Magnetic blog brings you the latest gigs, clubs, festivals and music news from throughout the UK and worldwide.

Soundcloud are set to release a new interface in the next few months. It’s said that the new player will be smaller and neater, but with added sharing controls, such as a repost button that allow’s users to quickly spread their favourite tunes around. Profiles have also redesigned to be cleaner, but will concentrate more on your activity, i.e. what you’ve liked and commented on. There will also be keyboard shortcuts, but the coolest feature to us is the real time notifications, letting the artist know as their content is reposted or liked.

We don’t know the exact date for this relaunch yet, but keep your eyes on Soundcloud for updates. We’ll certainly be making good use of the new features.

Having been immersed in Glasgow’s diverse and vibrant music scene for a number of years, Belmondo have just released their debut EP Dressed Up and Let Down.

Led by singer songwriter Tiff Griffin, the band is completed by members from as far afield as Hungary and Australia playing cellos, vioins and a fretless bass to create music that follows in the tradition of fellow Scot’s King Creosote and John Martyn whilst tipping their hat to trans atlantic indie artists like Bon Iver and Iron & Wine.

We invited the band down to record a special acoustic set for us.

Belmondo’s debut EP Dressed Up and Let Down is available now on iTunes.
