Five long weeks since the last HDIF in Brixton, we're back back back this Friday with the wonderful Wave Pictures as our guest DJs. When David, Franic and Jonny DJ-ed at the Canterbury Arms last year they played a brilliant, floor-filling set of rock'n'roll, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Sun records and the like, and really got the club hopping, so we should be in for a treat this Friday. Plus I'll be playing my highlights of last weekend's Indietracks festival - Suburban Kids, Hidden Cameras, watching everyone go crazy to "Black Cab" by Jens Lekman in the campsite disco, loads more! - along with the usual mix of indie pop, northern soul, girl groups and so on. Come out for a dance!.

Indie song of the week: "Darren" by Allo Darlin'. The finest indie pop group on the planet right now return with a super danceable, super upbeat classic. I played this at HDIF at The Phoenix last month and it went down a storm, with everyone quickly picking up the words and singing along. You can listen to the song here - http://allodarlin.bandcamp.com/album/darren

Soul song of the week: "Do It" by Pat Powdrill. A few weeks ago I spent a scary amount of cash on a seven inch single version of "Do It" by Pat Powdrill. £122 - eeeeek! I wrote a piece for The Guardian about it here - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jul/28/collecting-7in-records-ebay - This Friday will be the first time I've played the single over a big sound system, so I'm very excited.

Hope to see you on Friday!
