Read on to find out what sounds have been inspiring the Gordons teams of late…

Boards of Canada : The Campfire Headphase – (Nick Clark – London Office)
Discovered them by accident a year ago and haven’t stopped listening since!

Nicolas Jaar: Time for Us (EP) – (Lewis Judd – London Office)
Interesting for a House music track; has an organic production and sound. You can hear a number of instruments in the track which is unusual for House and you can detect a number of different influences.

Adele: 19 – (Ray Hobbs – Sheffield Office)
It’s just a great album.

Radio 1s Live Lounge – (Andrew Roland – London Office)
I love the idea of artists having to sing live, acoustic even better – and songs they are not familiar with. This gives me goose bumps! The first notable moment is the Arctic Monkeys performing ‘Love Machine’.

Muddy Waters: I’m Ready – (Jethro Gibbons – London Office)
It’s just good!
