Downright filthy Soulwax remix x original ÷ track from new-to-my-ears Throwing Snow featured on Subeena’s Fact Magazine Mix 117 = come-up and come-down all in one blog post! I think my photo is also a good visual representation of this dichotomy. Fuck off me.

*UPDATE* This came in the ol’ mailbox ( :  legends.

So little time to do anything these days. Like I don’t even have time to think. I feel like butter being scraped across too much bread*. Time management – that’s my problem.

Anyway (whine over!), the 4 tracks I have selected for you today are all excellent. First up, a little 1min30sec gem from Waajeed that I can’t remember how I found. Next is Motown songwriting legend Lamont Dozier and the epic 10-min version of his funky classic “Going Back To My Roots”. Finally, I’d like to introduce you to Pedestrian…. a word his music is definitely not! Currently based in Cambridge, UK he makes gorgeous ambient electronica and was recently featured on Gilles Peterson’s radio 1 show. Without doubt one to watch. Now if we could only get Pedestrian and Gang Colours to collaborate…

Friend of the blog Polymath cooks up another batch of deeelicious dance music. Keep pumping them out son and I’ll keep listening!

Breakfast Of Champions have made the first Neon Indian remix that’s actually worth a damn. Their original stuff is similarly great.

Lastly, but by no means leastly, friend of the blog number two, LS Mitchell, has created a fantasticly professional wee 40-min mix that he sent this way. Seriously, this mix sounds like an ace night out at the Cabaret Voltaire for me! I’d be winding down to bed usually by now but this mix has me doing the feet-tap, head-bob skank!

GangColours is the brainchild of this man. You don’t need to know his real name – it’s not important. All you need to know is that he makes sublime music that has the cinematic scope of Joy Orbison coupled with the playfulness of Flying Lotus with a dash of Floating Points and you may be getting there – at least that’s how it sounds to me.

His track ‘No Clear Reason’ was played on Gilles Peterson‘s radio show recently and I just had to tell you about it – it will hopefully be getting a release in the near future. Watch this space, or his space!

As you can probably tell from the picture on the right I am a….whisper it….jaunge*. Yes, I’d probably have a bullet in my arse now if I was in M.I.A.‘s new 9-min banned video for ‘Born Free‘. At least I’m not this guy though!

All of the following tracks are excellent!

The Suicide-sampling crack-racket that is ‘Born Free’, Kele from Bloc Party‘s new electro-dancefloor killer ‘Tenderoni’, the first taste of Aeroplane‘s new material with the reggae-esque ‘We Can’t Fly’, the Rawer-than-Iggy-&-The-Stooges blitzkrieg of Sleigh Bells‘ ‘Tell ‘Em’, the magnificent re-styling of Chilly Gonzales by up and coming Scottish talent Polymath and finally (just for fun) a clever mash-up of Rihanna and Crystal Castles by my favourite mash-up kings The Hood Internet. PHEW!
