As Blur prepared to release ‘The Magic Whip’ – their first album as a four-piece since 1999, Beats by Dre and Noisey sat down with guitarist Graham Coxon and producer Stephen Street in Stephen’s Miloco-managed studio The Bunker.
Graham and Stephen discussed how the album developed from the initial sessions in Hong Kong to the final record produced in London.
The Magic Whip was released via Parlophone on 27 April.
Blur headline the Isle of Wight Festival on 13 June and play British Summer Time in Hyde Park on 20 June.

Spending two months in the south of France was “really fucking nice,” notes guitarist Jimmy Smith. “We drank about 130 bottles of this red wine called Ardèche.”

Dan compiled the ‘Powerhouse Breaks’ library from the best fidelity machine/cartridge combination out of the two machines he had at studio Lion Aboard (before he sold one to a museum in Philadelphia).
‘Powerhouse Breaks’ has 64 awesome drum loops on 8x8track cartridges. All 64 complete loops (each one is 1-2 minutes long) come in a variety of different styles.
Gotye was one of the first people to buy a copy of the pack, which is seemingly of particular appeal to film composers. Even composer Vangelis used to have a Powerhouse.
‘Powerhouse Breaks’ is available at www.bandmasterpowerhouse.com for £19.99.
