Active Child - You Are All I See (album stream)
For Pat Grossi of Active Child, the last two years have been nothing short of enriching. Musically, Pat has worked within and appropriated a number of styles into his sound, from his early days singing with that heavenly voice as a choir boy to his more recent forays into laptop-assisted indie-pop made in his bedroom, best exemplified on 2010’s acclaimed Curtis Lane EP. His sound is so wide-ranging that he has found himself touring with many notable acts of differing genres, including dubstep producer James Blake, dreamy synth-pop of School of Seven Bells, and the indie-rock bands White Lies and White Rabbits.

Over one million CD and vinyl releases were destroyed early last week when a North London warehouse [Sony DADC/PIAS] that operates on behalf of some 165 or so labels burned to the ground during the London riots. Some of the finest independent music-providers around were seriously financially hurt by the fire, and so we've decided to join the campaign to encourage people to buy what they can from the affected labels by collecting some of their finest releases of 2011 so far into one SoundCloud playlist.
