Cigarette Flavour Cocktails – Holy Smokes!

Posted on March 25, 2012 by KimberleyMDisco

 A London bar is now offering you the chance to get your nicotine fix without even stepping outside.

If you fancy challenging the smoking ban in a slightly different way you can indulge in the tobacco infused cocktail menu at Barts, Chelsea.

The menu entitled ‘Bart’s goes up in smoke’ has a selection of drinks made with Perique Tobacco Liqueur. So if your in Chelsea, then try the bar’s aptly named Cig’nature Cocktail or go for a Holy Smoke which is a blend of Perique, Hennessy Club and vanilla syrup.

Q Magazine has yet again shown it’s prowess, leaving competitor magazines in its wake by launching an exclusive app for the Blackberry Playbook tablet.

Oasis and Metallica are featured alongside Madonna and Jay-Z, amongst others that may float your boat more! The app acts as a guide on the artists themselves, highlighting three key albums from each as well as three that the artists have cited as influence. Furthermore, there are three recommendations from Q of other albums fans are likely to rate as part of their ‘Like this? Try these’ function.

Reviewers are already dancing for joy, giving this app a 4.5 star rating.

Listen to Example’s new single ‘Stay Awake’

Posted on July 4, 2011 by KimberleyMDisco

If you were addicted to Example’s infectuous recent number 1 hit ‘Changed The Way You Kiss Me’ you’ll be pleased to know that we have his new single ‘Stay Awake’ for your listening pleasure.

The new track, taken from his much anticipated new album ‘Playing In The Shadows’ out in September is a beauty and will silence the doubters who perhaps thought he couldn’t follow up his number 1 hit with a belter.

‘Stay Awake’ is produced by dubstep lords Nero and will certainly ingrain itself on your brain – you have been warned! Penned after waking up at Ibiza Rocks and seeing hundreds of kids still going from the night before Example says the track is ‘about a messed up generation who spend all their money on partying and questioning whether or not it’s right. We spend all our money to stay awake the longest’.

Regardless of what he says we’re banging this tune on and having a dance.If you like the track it’s out 28th August


Example – ‘Stay Awake’

Posted on July 1, 2011 by KimberleyMDisco

As part of a new feature we will be ‘introducing’ fresh acts that are rocking our world, floating our boats or generally just making us giddy! The first act we would like to introduce is Toujours.

Toujours a.k.a Erik Jourgensen hailing from East Bay, USA offers us a selection of chilled out subliminal class. His “June ’11″ mix is utterly sublime and we suggest you listen to his work now, because we are loving it. This mix is definitely short at just over eleven minutes, but we’ll take quality over quantity anyday. Let us know what you think…..

Howling Bells return with new album – preview new track

Posted on June 30, 2011 by KimberleyMDisco

One of our faves – Howling Bells are back on the scene and we couldn’t be happier. The band have linked up with The Killers’ Mark Stoermer who has produced their new album, ‘The Loudest Engine’ in Viva Las Vegas.
This, the third album from the band is set to be a ‘killer’ – pardon the pun. Out 12th September on Cooking Vinyl, the album is the sequel to 2009′s Radio Wars and is described as psycadelic and raw, and a result of the band’s time on the road.

See what you think by listening to the title track “The Loudest Engine” below. We are big fans…..


Howling Bells – “The Loudest Engine”

Howling Bells first linked up with The Killers’ Mark Stoermer on tour together, the two groups bonded over their love of similar music. When the band began planning the recording of their latest project at the tail end of summer 2010, The Killers’ bassist was the first person on speed dial.

With 30 fresh demos under their belt the finishing touches where added and tracks fleshed out to form this new masterpiece, the results are more mature and refined than their earlier work.
