Recovering from a blinding hangover so I’ll make this brief(ish). Wee selection of the tunes I’ve been digging the most recently. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard this Dusty Kid track til a few days ago. Kicks in big time at around the 2-minute mark. Also new 80kidz with Lovefoxxx from CSS – easily the best thing either has done for a while – excited for the 80kidz album. Was sent this Russ Chimes remix and must say he’s not put a foot wrong lately. Finally, one of the guys that runs the Killer Kitsch club night at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh (and Glasgow) also does remixes and discovered this prize of a remix he did for Glasgow band Haight Ashbury. Fans of said Chimes and Fred Falke should enjoy.

Discovered L S Mitchell on the Erol Alkan Forums. He’s a young man from Jersey and I really like the remixes he’s given me to post. The first is a remix of Gucci Vump and you can’t really go wrong remixing this song [see HERE]. The second is an absolutely awesome remix of Nero’s ‘Act Like You Know’. Turns the clubbasaurus D&B original into a early morning chillout jam.

Polymath is a very promising new DJ from the capital of the Highlands (Inverness) and fashions dancefloor grenades from Electro and Disco-House with added WAMP WAMP BANG BANG WTFWASTHAT! Recently featured on the Andy & Jaymo show on Radio 1, he’s also been getting colossal interest from Ministry Of Sound, who wanted ‘Azza Azza’ for their new Hed Kandi ‘Destroy The Disco‘ but unfortunately he couldn’t get his sample cleared in time. BOOOOO! The tune actually reminds me of Fake Blood’s ‘I Think I Like It’ and I think I LOVE it. See what I did there.

‘Azza Azza’ has DANCEFLOOR written all over it. ‘Diamond Berry’ has this mental muffled fuzz breakdown in it that I can’t stop spinning. Polymath also likes to remix and here he’s made ‘Rock City’ by Sonic Tramp actually listenable! Watch out for that drop at 1.15 (d-_-b)
