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.

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!

Analog Sessions

I recently completed a mix for the brand new club night launching at Mine, Leeds in September called Analog, they've got some amazing lineups already booked including our very own Youth Attack! along with friend of KTR, Foamo.

As a build up to the night, Dom Analog has been asking various artists to create mixes for "Analog Sessions". The mixes span genre, tempo and length. Dom himself, Beerz and myself have all contributed so far, and they've got Kid Cola [madamevisage], Sampletramp [State of Flux] and their very own Hugo Bass.

On their blog over at http://thisisanalog.blogspot.com/ they've just released my mix, and this is what they had to say...
