As always when a band performs at BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge they have to do a proper cover version. Last night FOALS attended the show and performed their version of What Kind Of Man by FLORENCE + THE MACHINE, the lead single of her 2015 album How Big How Blue How Beautiful. And Yannis Philippakis and his band really turned it into one of their own tracks, partly by also mashing it with What Went Down, the title-track of their recent studio album. Witness the full performance right here.

For NBHAP head Norman the era of late 80s and early 90s acid house and dance music is a period of time he loves to revisit from time to time. Two mixtapes celebrate the legendary vibe of the era and take the sound into the here and now.
