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!

I must have played this Polymath remix of Beataucue about 10 times in the past hour….. if that’s even possible! Featured the Inverness-based Polymath a couple of times now and this is the moment you should sit up and take notice. This excellent remix is taken from Beataucue’s brand new EP “Cha Cha Cha” out now on Kitsune records.

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!

Listen ♫: M.I.A. – Born Free ←♥♥♥
