Eggs, flour, butter and BANGERS. Get your flip on with our Pancake Day Playlist. Yes, most of the songs here were selected for their relatability to this Pancakiest of days, but let's not ignore these buttery-smooth jams from the likes of MF DOOM, A Tribe Called Quest and Scienze, to name a few . And, of course, 'Banana Pancakes' by Jack Johnson is in there, which is a fluffy stack of cakey joy in itself.

It looks like January was no fluke. Aside from a shaky Grammys (Lemonade snubs but congrats Chance!) February has been seriously solid for good music. First up we have our cover star, Sampha, who put out his debut LP this month. If you're looking for smoothed-out RnB with an electronic sheen, Process is well worth your time. Elsewhere we've got a gutsy combo of Priests and Lowly delivering crisp indie in two flavours over 'Lelia 20' and 'Prepare the Lake', and pure funk fun...

World Eater, Blanck Mass AKA Benjamin John Power's third album, is on the way. We've heard it. It's weird, it's heavy, it's killer. Power is pissed off at 2016; a year that, by any standards, is one best forgotten. World Eater, released 3rd March, is his furious reaction. Not that you'd know from the pleasant lilt of lead single 'Please', however. Directed by Michael Tan, the video for 'Please' draws on the album themes, taking them down a 3D politicised wormhole. “Blanck Mass...

His vocals have always fallen on...
