Popof Faces 'Uch Funky cut-up vocals make way for… BASSLINE, BASSLINE, BASSLINE!
Hot Toddy Feat. Ron Basejam I Need Love (Morgan Geist remix) Smooooooth. Synths, pianos, chugging bass… gradual Balearic build up. It’s got everything.
Darkstar Aidy’s Girl Is A Computer Charming 12” of precise, crafted bass. Music to re-arrange record collections to, and worlds around.
Peaches I feel cream We feel bored.
Ali Love Diminishing Returns Voice of the Chem’s Do It Again in Italo disco inspired pop effort.
Floating Points Vacuum Boogie A smooth ride through the cosmos. This is funky at its most refined.
Riton & Primary 1 Who's there? (Style of Eye Remix) Guaranteed to get any dancefloor jumping around like a jack-in-the-box.
Noob & Brodinski Peanuts Club Tribal, twisted and completely insane. Mad monkey mayhem on Turbo.
Heartbreak We're Back Vitalic’s remix is even more Italo and muscular than the original.
Amanda Blank Make It Take It Rapid fire rap pop from sometime Spank Rocker. Bam!
Drums Of Death Got Yr Thing Sonic wrestling and hyper electro from the Glaswegian bloke-Peaches.
Vitalic Your Disco Song The Frenchman’s back and he’s not changed his sound much (it’s still ace). Will still appeal to fans of both Italo disco and Justice.
Cold Cave Love Comes Close Sparse NY no wave justifying hype. Kind of sexy, I think. Excellent cover, too.
OOIOO Arminico Hewa First impressions – spiky, shouty, exciting Japanese psyche. Sound of band growing down not up.
Passion Pit To Kingdom Come Loving the Grum remix – eye-closed, head-shaking stuff. Let’s go dancing. Like, now.
Deastro Toxic Crusaders Euphoric song from Ghostly’s avantpop savant. Probably soundtracking John Hughes’ ascent to heaven.
Terror Danjah Gremlinz (The Instrumentals 2003-2009) [Planet Mu] OH.MY.DAYS. Infinity out of ten.
Memory Cassette Call & Response EP [Acephale] Finally picked this up on import – aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, basically.
Delphic This Momentary 2nd single from Manc techno rockers is a stirring anthem released on Kitsune.
Stricken City Songs About People I Know [PureGroove] Pretty indie from everyone’s favourite new band, sounds like flower-filled jam jars, old films, Postcard Records, rain. Lovely, of course
