Wernerâs Weekly (week 10)
Itâs impossible for me to write about all good music that comes out each week. So I must make a selection for this blog. With a few exceptions to the rule, I usually choose brand new artists to feature on Carte Blanche Music, tracks that you probably havenât heard yet, and that would run the risk of passing by unnoticed if I wouldnât place them on a pedestal.
But there is so much more⊠Thankfully, there is Spotify. My Carte Blanche Music playlist has enough room to feature all great new tracks that appear each week. Not only by brand new acts, but also by more established artists like Little Steven, Bush, Lorde, DJ Premier, Di-Rect and Spoon. All of them great acts, with great new songs. Subscribe to that playlist and youâll never miss any good new music anymore. Promised!
Which brings me to this weekâs alphabetically sorted list of my most highly recommended tracks: Wernerâs Weekly (which you can subscribe to as well, of course). Listen to these eight songs via the Wernerâs Weekly player in the sidebar and read my recommendations by clicking the links.

Dreadzone – Area Code
In 1993, former members of Big Audio Dynamite (who were in The Clash before) founded a new band: Dreadzone. They redefined dub by mixing it with elements of dance, rock, folk and breakbeat, gradually building a reputation as an energetic and powerful live act.
Existing for over two decades, the band just released its eighth studio album Dread Times and this is my favourite track on it: Area Code. It features 90âs ragga duo Louchie Lou & Michie One (best known for their hit Shout from 1993) and sounds a little like an updated version of The Selecterâs On My Radio.
