Keaton Henson recorded his debut album, ‘Dear…’, after an emotional break-up, and ‘Small Hands’ certainly shows the pain felt by Henson. His quivering vocals and direct lyrics are heart-rending, and that’s before we even get to the video. Directed by Joseph Mann, who used cute woodland puppets to tell the tale of loss, the simplicity of the video fits with Henson’s lo-fi bedroom recording.

Superstar house producers David Guetta and Nicky Romero have teamed up for a brand new single out on Jack Back Records. The melodic styles of both artists blend nicely together on the breakdown and the driving wobbly bass synth lines keep the track moving fast. Even though the track uses just one vocal sample, “Mother-fucking big fat bass” is definitely a good one! You can stream this hot new release below or pick it up on Beatport for your collection.
