The Secret (Get Out Of My Head) is a perky bit of electro pop house, all soaring vocals and uplifting piano rolls. It features the vocal stylings of Ryan Dolan, who's a bit of an underground star on the Emerald Isle. His of tracks like Edge Of Glory and Someone Like You have attracted hundreds of thousands of views - and he's even supported the mighty Jedward!

It's not clear exactly what "The Secret" is, but one thing's for sure - Ryan Dolan feels it, he needs it and he believes it! Have a listen and see if you do too…

And if the track catches your interest, make a note - Zenemy are hard at work on their debut long player, due next summer.

Tip of The Week: Twin Falls - Janie I Will Only Let You Down

Post categories:

Luke Stidson is a man from the West Country who used to run indie label . With the label ending in 2008, Luke clearly had a musical piece missing from his puzzle so decided to start releasing music for himself.

Entering the music-making game as , he roped in friends and family to play the instruments he couldn't manage and within a year had self-released 2 EP's. His music was picked up by Tom Robinson and Steve Lamacq which lead to airtime on Ö÷²¥´óÐã 6 Music and a series of live dates across the land. He then went on to release his debut album Slow Numb in 2011, an album recorded in various living rooms, sheds, barns and pubs around his native Somerset.

This track Janie I Will Only Let You Down is a rather sad song, and you have to feel for poor Janie when you tell her things like 'you couldn't leave me for a minute I could leave you all day', but hey I guess the guy's just being honest. So as you wipe the wet salty tears from your eyes as this song reaches the Radio 1 airwaves, spare a thought for Janie, and appreciate the honesty. Oh and feel free to enjoy it too!

Tip of The Week: Muchuu - On Beyond

Post categories:

Dan Lucas Dan Lucas | 10:31 UK time, Monday, 5 December 2011

Muchuu are brother and sister George and Millie from Herefordshire. The name Muchuu comes from a Japanease word meaning 'to be in an ecstatic delirious trance', which may be what the duo are trying to achieve through their cute blend of indie electro pop.

They were first discovered by Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing Hereford & Worcester, and were one of the early bands to go from the uploader to getting real Radio 1 airplay. Having been supported by Tom Robinson, Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw, the offers quickly came in to play at Bestival, Underage Festival, and HowTheLightGetsIn at Hay-on-Wye.

They also played live at the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing Christmas Party alongside Florence and the Machine and have even had a bit of commercial success when their song Somebody Tell was used for an ad on the telly! Very rock n roll.

This track On Beyond is the latest addition to the Radio 1 playlist, and we hope it sends you all into ecstatic delirious trances up and down the land.

. It's a mysterious name. I think of it as a mysterious label. It's a brilliant label that's for sure. I spoke to Tom King about the label, how it started from a club night in the New Cross area of London, the first release to the current day. Recent releases from Doldrums, Forest Swords and are pretty astounding.
