Terror Danjah Acid / Pro Plus 12" Sheffield bleep and early speed garage wrapped in Terror’s skittering funk. We’re basically building statues to this man, right?
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes Home Achingly pretty and weird acid country. Any readers in advertising, use this song and watch the money pile up.
Vampire Weekend Giant “It was all a dream / I used to read Paradise magazine.” Very clever, lads.
Massive Attack Paradise Circus The best thing about trip hop was the clattering machine music. The worst was that syrupy voice that sounded like the ‘Hackers’ soundtrack.
Chris Rusu Get Silly Just a really big tune basically. BIG, I say!
Azari & III Reckless With Your Love Remaking late 80s sweatbox house with added psychodrama. Well done Azari! Well done Third!
Wetdog Frauhaus! Dramatic no wave-doo wop. Not appalling, brilliantly.
Riton and Primary 1 Radiates (Joker mix) Purple reigns.
Sade By Your Side (Neptunes remix) Hey Pharell, you can’t improve on perfection. Not even with the same kick-kick-tsch schtick of yours that was old seven years ago.
Sidney Samson feat. Wizard Sleeve Riverside (Let's Go!) Big room electro anthem… “Riverside Mother F**ker!”
Primary One & Riton Radiate Worth it for the lazer funk alone.
Private My Secret Lover Pretty much an 8-bit Jacko tribute. Cheesy as F**K.
Kid Sister Right Hand Hi (Riton vocal dub) Our new fav “hi” thing, after -hats and -NRG.
Animal Collective What Would I Want? Sky A song, A+ song title.
Filthy Dukes Nonsense In The Dark (Skull Juice Dub) What was easily the Dukes’ finest moment is now possibly Skull Juice’s. This is like electronic rain. Hearting it big time.
Shy Child Criss Cross 7 min plus disco paced epic from NY duo – get it free from shychild.com
Boy Of Girl Hot Chocolate Boy Sort of OK.
Au Revoir Simone Another Likely Story (Aeroplane Remix) What do you mean it’s not summer anymore? Join in the denial with yet another sparkling Aeroplane remix. Neon Indian one is good too.
Joe Goddard Apple Bobbing (Four Tet remix) Fellow Elliott-Schooler adds fractured strings and lovely vocals to JG’s plinks. Delightful, in every single way.
Lemonade Bliss Out Tropical Sun Can’t Compare with extra chimp noises. Somehow, it doesn’t suck.
