Pop Danthology 2014: Artists and Songs list

So Daniel Kim has just released his Pop Danthology mashup for 2014. It clocks in at just under 6 minutes. Off the bat, I have to say I’m a fan of Daniel Kim’s work and in this mashup he cleverly changes tempo to accomodate the variety of tracks in the 2014 mashup. So you’ve heard DJ Earworm’s United State of Pop 2014 and now Daniel Kim’s mix.. Who’s the winner in this year’s battle?

Ayala // This Year – Video for The London Ear

You may have heard in episode 58 (last week) of The London Ear that Ayala performed live in her studio for us. I finally got round to getting it online for you.

Ayala’s new single ‘This Year’ is available to buy on iTunes now. Thanks again to Ayala and her producer Juan for letting me into their studio and for chatting to me.

This was filmed by my phone. Not too bad eh?
