As promised, here’s another slice of Five One goodness. Those of you who’ve checked out the below video will be frothing at the mouth to get your hands on this track, as it’s the one played near the start of the video.
The track continues in that great vein, and it’s a fantastic spin on the already-great Röyksopp track. Some really nice lines in this, and as I said the track was already cracking so the beat and hook are great. Definitely one of the strongest tracks they’ve made thus far, and a contender for my favourite remix of theirs. Nice artwork too!

Kicking the day/night off with another captivating, funny and interesting look at these guys. Some of the music they’re making sounds superb, and I can’t wait for it to be released-the track at the end has some great potential.
Gold getting some YouTube laughs in resonates brilliantly with me (and a few others!) who pretty much spend our evenings finding stupid sh*t on YouTube!
Listen closely to the track playing at the start of the video too. Sounds good eh? I’ll be dropping that off later for y’all.

Much like last week’s episode, this contains laughs, music, interview and more. Check it out, another entertaining watch.

Look who’s back! The Five One kick off a new weekly series of webisodes, with a video that really gives you the chance to know them as a band and as people a lot better.
It’s interesting to hear their influences, opinions and thoughts, and very entertaining watching them clowning around haha! Definitely worth a watch for fans of the group (which by now, should be all of you).
They’re also looking to complete the series of remixes that they put on hiatus last year, as well as releasing a couple of new tracks very soon. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for all of that, as well as the next episode of this mini-series.

Notorious Indi: December 31, 2009
2009 was one hell of an interesting year. We saw the comeback of Eminem, albums by the 2 other big names of hip-hop in Jay-Z and 50 Cent, and once again we waited all year for Dr. Dre’s Detox which never came. It’s fair to say that despite this the year hasn’t been dominated by the big boys and we’ve seen a gradual change in hip hop – the gangsta rap of previous years has steadily evolved into what can be described as ‘Hip Hop Hipsters’. Kanye led the way back in 2004 and by 2009 the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Wale and Asher Roth have emerged.

In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.
Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

First off, I’m gonna let the guys themselves describe the track. Then, you’re going to click the red line below, read my review, and download the track. You got that? Good.
“This is an Acoustic-driven cover song of Wale’s Pretty Girls. As we gear up to release our first songs off our EP/Album “Deuce Day World”, we wanted to put out a DC song that we could create a Five One sound for. We use a lot of the same lyrics as the original song to actually cover the song, but we threw in a few one-liners to give it our own style just as a painter would rework a Picasso cubist painting to show homage.”
I literally could not have written a better build-up then that. Wise up and hit the click.

This comes as relief to me. Yesterday was packed with mainstream, chart-aimed tracks from various acts. Today, we get something brand new from The Five One, and hence something a little more real, and extremely good.
You know where to click.

Notice that we haven’t had any new material from The Five One recently?
Don’t panic. They’ve decided to drop the remix project they were doing in favour of working on brand new, original material. They have an EP coming soon, which we will keep you informed about.
In the meantime, click the below link to download any/all of the 29 remixes they did make. Seeing as Overrating The Underrated has only been around for 12 weeks, there’s a lot of remixes that you all missed out on, so click the link below to grab anything else that interests you.

A Zero 7 remix. Most of you will know Zero 7 for this track, but The Five One have used one of their lesser-known gems for this week’s track.

New track after the click from The Five One. This is definitely one of my favourites from these guys, so I’d highly recommend you hit the click. There’s also a mixtape from newcomer Phil Ade, with whom The Five One worked with on this track. Hopefully by now, you are no longer scared of good music…

Click below for a diverse duo of videos. Headlining them is a live performance of LA Girl from The Five One. I’ve never seen a video of them playing live, and this definitely doesn’t disappoint. We’ve also got a hilarious video poking fun at Drake and others.

Brand new track sent directly from The Five One for you after the click. Another great track, and another example of just how to throw a load of different genres into a pot and make it work.
In what has been a fairly slow week for good new music, I’m glad to say The Five One have come through and given me a great track for the rest of the weekend!

As you’ve seen from the content on here, I enjoy rock, hip-hop, alternative, and pretty much every other genre under the sun. However, most of the music we listen to is ’sensually offensive’ to at least one of the other genres.
By this, I mean if you listen to some 2Pac, the Death Cab for Cutie listener inside you has to hide behind the sofa. If you listen to Blink-182, all love for T.I. has to leave the room via the nearest exit.
Ever met an artist/group who can keep everyone in the same room? Click below, because you’re about to. You won’t regret it.
