T-E-E-D

Oxford-based electronic producer Orlando Higginbottom aka Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is a truly creative artist with his eclectic blend of house/indie/pop/techno sounds, his ridiculously long artist name and the outrageous head gear which he wears on stage. His 2012 debut album Trouble stands out as one of last year's top releases (posted here). Favorite track from the album is Tapes and Money...

Orlando has also churned out some cool remixes, the latest being his rework of the Foals' tune My Number...
