New Nod Factor release: Vanilla Ace
We’re loving the new EP from the Nod Factor stable, featuring label boss Sam Roqwell and partner in crime I Sancho – collectively Vanilla Ace.
The EP contains 2 tracks – the incredibly cheeky and catchy Bebe Bush and the b-side Chillin (which is quite appropriate for the weather today!)

Sam, Khadafy and Beyonce…
We know Sam loves to Twitter but think it’s a good job the New York Post don’t read ALL his tweets …;)

Welcome back, Sam!

Don’t Wait Animate – Available for Interview
We’re understandably very excited to bring to you one of London’s hottest underground indie acts this 2010, Don’t Wait Animate, the electro-punk five-piece that are making waves in the capital ahead of their debut single release in April.
With a fusion of jerky new wave guitars underpinned by a dark, weighty mix of dub, bassline and crushing dubstep beats, Don’t Wait Animate have quickly garnered a growing reputation for their unique and unforgettable live sets.
DWA take their influences from artists like Devo, Bloc Party and Battles and are throwing into the melting pot their very own take on 21st century, multicultural London, taking a lead from current dubstep media darlings and dancefloor destroyers such as heavyweight bass merchants Rusko, Burial & Skream.
The band are currently available for interview so to get in touch, drop us a line at dan@raw-material.co.uk

A cool place to stay in Berlin…
Anyone planning a jaunt to Berlin should check out these guys – VitaminBerlin - as an alternative place to stay. Very cool private apartments fusing together great designers and furniture makers in funky parts of town.
And for about 50 euros per night they’re great value too…(and we think Berlin is lovely in the snow)
