Fabric Of Win

I was supposed to post this on Friday, but i've been ill - don't worry its not Swine Flu, I hope. It's also pretty hard to do anything with this prehistoric laptop.

This is the new single from Kitsuné golden boys Joe and Will Ask?. The release features a Club Mix and A Late night Mix - which is a self-remix showcasing their more minimal techno side. Enjoy.

While you're at it, go and grab their remix of the Grum track 'Heartbeats' which is out now on Beatport.

Saturday Night Fever

Staying in on a Saturday night? Shock horror. Trying very hard to keep myself away from watching 'The X Factor' by redesigning the blog and listening future releases for the label. Anyway, enough of that.

Fueled By Ramen

Its brilliant when i'm by myself at work, aside from the obvious factor of doing very little, I also get to eat the fantastic Korean Pot Noodles they sell here in the Uni shop without anyone complaining that they stink. Which they do, but they taste godly so it isn't any of my concern.

I'm going to post a few tracks today which have all been stuck in my head for the past few weeks, or at least since I heard them, and are definitely deserving of been heard by everyone.

First up is the Todd Terje remix of the new Shit Robot track, Simple Things. Such a simple yet effective build, a lovely stompy beat, takes a long time to get there but when it does its pretty much perfect.

Theo Parrish is one of those cats that is always held in high regard but I've still not got round to seeing him out yet, despite pretty much everyone I know seeing him. The same goes for Carl Craig, although I have seen him, alas can't really remember much of it. I do remember having an amazing night so he must have played a belter. Here CC shakes up Theo's Falling Up and gives it a nice warm techy feel, enjoy.

Science > God

That above was the title of an excellent e-mail that recently went around the Chemistry department, I'd have to agree with it too.

First track today is an excellent one from Leeds finest electronic group, 20:20's very own Audiojack. A nice vintage sounding Piano line but skewed about over a nice housey beat yet keeping a very fresh sound, the whole album is definitely worth a look too.

Secondly we have a Juan Maclean remix of Pom Pom by Matthew Dear from his cracking Asa Breed album. Juan did a few remixes for this release and I'd say i prefer the second, a bit more squelchy and acidy, something Juan doesn't seem to do as much nowadays, or maybe it's me not paying attention. Probably a bit of both, regardless, it's dead good.

French Luv'

I'm almost back from my second holiday in under a month. The sun of Ibiza, 2CB, Partying, and other things seems to have refuelled my love for French Filter House, and it doesnt get much better than this. 'Cryda Luv' as far as I know is just a massive fan of the now defunct 'Crydamoure' label. The August mix will be available soon, but for now you'll have to settle for Julys one.

Getting Old

The past few weeks have entailed buying a house, turning 25 and all sorts of other things I never thought I'd ever get round to doing. Probably a good thing in the long run.

One noticeable thing about getting a bit older is my music (and clothing) taste getting better and sharper.

Here are a few nice steady, deep tracks for a miserable Leeds day. Bit of techno, bit of house, all good

Oh and I hereby decree that this blog needs more pictures of girls, get on it fellow bloggers.

Darling Buds Of August.

We got this in our inbox a few days ago, and thought it was about time we shared it with you. This is a bootleg remix of the Youth Attack! track 'Yo Paris' by Darling Farah. He has quite a talent for making dark and deep techno. It builds slowly, but is well worth the wait.

Check out the blog on friday as we will be posting up the new single from Joe And Will Ask?. Awesome!

VIP Riding

We're almost set on our Youth Attack! collaboration track with London youngsters TEDD. It's a bassy little jam with a sort of - dare I say it - Fidget House vibe. Good for heating up the winter dancefloors when it see's a release though. In the meantime, I thought I would share with you a track that is a staple in pretty much every set we play, and has been ever since it got dropped in our inbox almost a year ago. Although the original of this track is one of my favourite dance tracks of all time, this version comes quite close.

Summer Feeling

Yo! There hasnt been a post from me in quite a while. We've only just got the internet in KTR HQ, and I've just managed to recover from a whirlwind week in Ibiza. I've still got that Summer feeling, even if it is very windy and horrible in Leeds at the moment!
