We Are Proud Of Our Choices

19.2.2006

1. Coldcut ft. Roots Manuva – True Skool (Switch remix)

Switch deliver an incredible remix;  mashing a Chems-ish groove with the rudest London bass into an unstopabble whole. Blinding!

2. The Knife – Silent Shout

Carl Craig-ish afro-techno from Sweden (I know – sounds unlikely…) So brilliant it’s been in the box for 3 months now. Ignore the remixes and stick to the wonderful original.

3. Gucci Soundsysyem – A Carpenter [Bugged Out]

Ben and Henry on the menacing 80′s industrial disco tip.

4. Machine Ate My Homework [CD-R]

Journalists making great dance records?  Why don’t you stick to your day job Gavin and leave it to the professionals!  (Ahem…)

5. Al Usher – Gnanfou  [Misericord]

The first offering from a brand new label with yours truly at the helm comes from the enormously talented Al Usher. New-school electronic boogie for all forward-thinking disco citizens. On the flip Swag dub it up for the dancefloor.

6. Prince – Black Sweat [Universal]

Everyone’s favourite perv-funk elf is back and in fine form. (Hint: he wants to take his clothes off…)

7. Sons and Daughter – Dance Me In (Twitch remix)  [?]

Disco-pogo from our lovely friends at Optimo.

8. White Rose Movement – Kick LP [Independiente]

Hot on the heels of three corking singles comes the great debut album.

9. Cosmo Vitelli – Delayer  [CDR]

Wonderful new track from Mr Vitelli.

10. House of Black Dress – No One To Care For  [Fresh Meat]

Ace piece of Murk-ish French house.

11. Howie Beck – Howie Beck [Ever]

Sublime singer-songwriting from Canada;  and comes with a guest appearance from the divine Leslie Feist.

12. Caged Baby – RadioSlave remix [Southern Fried]

Yet another brilliant set of mixes from Matt Edwards, casually inventing a new sub-genre (micro-italo anyone?) for good measure.

13.  Ewan Pearson and Hafdis Huld – Let It Go [Fine]

Heartbreak house from the new FUN2 compilation. We call it downlifting. Hankies at the ready.
