2013 has been a good year for Laurie James Ross, better known as Eagles for Hands. His productions, which to these ears recreate the best bits from 90s dance legends 808 State and Orbital, have let to plaudits from the likes of Resident Adviser and XLR8R. The Lisbon EP hit the shelves at the end of September and its title track is one of our favourite tunes of the year.

At this stage of the advent calendar posts, I’ve been posting up a soundcloud link or a youtube video, but right now Lisbon is only available to buy via sites like iTunes, so I can’t embed anything directly. Lisbon is easily worth 79p of your hard earned cash though, so treat yourself. It’s almost Christmas!
