As we mentioned earlier the festival line-ups are coming in thick and fast and Manchester's very own Parklife Weekender, organised by the people at Warehouse Project, have just released the initial bill. For an event that's been growing year on year since its inception, it seems they've delivered once again as it's pretty damn big! Snoop Dogg and Foals top the bill on the main stage in the evenings while throughout the bill are big names. Bastille, Disclosure, Katy B, Soul II Soul, Danny Brown, Public Enemy, Seth Troxler, Chromeo, Moderat, Maya Jane Coles, London Grammar, Mount Kimbie, and a UK festival exclusive from Kendrick Lamar. It's sure to be a huge weekend. Check out the full line-up so far here.

With more announcements to come, who knows what other surprises the team has in store. The event takes place in Manchester's Heaton Park on the weekend of June 7th-8th and you can pick up tickets from £79.50 for the full weekend, or £49.50 for a day ticket over on parklife.uk.com.

[Listen] Mount Kimbie - "You Took Your Time" Feat. King Krule

Teaming up with the young and talented King Krule, Mount Kimbie offer up "You Took Your Time" from their forthcoming album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. The duo offer up the jazz like drums while Krule's croon carries every bit of the track forward. The James Blake type sounds of the beat paired up with the vocal kind of reminds me of The Streets in a way. I think all of us at SKoA just have a longing for Mike Skinner to return to his former self. However, I've found it hard not to enjoy anything Archy touches and this track is no different. Check out his mesmerizing part in this collaboration below.

Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is due out May 28th via Warp Records.

[Listen] Mount Kimbie - "Before I Move Off" (Star Slinger Refix)

Talented Manchester producer and all round nice guy Star Slinger has offered up his knob twiddling skills to the Mount Kimbie track, "Before I Move Off". Star Slinger moulds the track into a more bass orientated beast that's well worth a little listen and some of your holiday time. Peep it below via A Heart Is A Spade.
