The Rapture – How Deep Is Your Love
A few months ago The Rapture released How Deep Is Your Love. On Tuesday this week, DFA got in touch with the release of the vinyl version of the remixes that includes A-Trak‘s Dub For Mehdi version, a homage to his good friend Dj Mehdi who passed away a few months ago and a remix...
Yacht – I Walked Alone (Larry Gus Remix)
I have a love / hate thing with Yacht. I don’t exactly why. The first time I was introduced to this guy, I convinced myself that I didnt get it: all that overblown, self important art school fluff. He’s probably single-handedly started the hipster-y triangle craze. Wasn’t really a fan of The Blow either. It’s...
NEW VIDEO: Housse de Racket – Chateau
Housse de Racket‘s new album, Alesia is out now in the states and you’ve probably already seen the video for the track Roman on the NME. New single Chateau just been given the video treatment by none other than Sanghon Kim, the fine art graphic designer who did the album’s cover. Watch it – it’ll...
Exclusive Download: Kevin Jonson – Frozen Road EP
Kevin Jonson and the Huble imprint is testament to the kind of quality techno coming out of France at the moment – my kind of techno. Minimal, elegant, sharp beats, the title track Frozen Road, especially, gets down seriously deep. A little bit dark and melancholy. Serious stuff. I know I can be quite euro-centric...
SoHight – Boys EP
We kick things off this month with SoHight’s new ep released by my family in France, Yeah Dish recs. Gotta love this label for coming up with the goods time and time again Any surprises why this one made the cut on this blog? SoHight are two Russian blokes doing that synth pop thing, kinda...
White Bamby feat. Laure Milena – On The Sand EP
I knew this was going to be perfect from the moment I clicked on it. White Bamby, so the fairy tale goes, met in the Aegen sea, fell in love with the same girl, decided to make music out of the experience and found some random statue that inspired them to name themselves White Bamby....
Surkin – Ultra Light
Cannot believe this guy hasnt released any albums! That’s going to change though. Benoit Heitz aka Surkin‘s highly anticipated debut album, USA, drops 7th November and we’ve just been given the preview. It is fucking sexy. 80s influenced club vibes with an unmistakable french flavour (obviously), the album was originally intended for release via the...
Karin Park – Tiger Dream (Photek Remix)
An excellent free giveaway of the nordic singer, Karin Park’s single, Tiger Dreams remixed by Photek, is up for grabs. I bet you’ll say “Oh my god she sounds like Bjork,” which is fair play because she does, but not in a cheap, copy-cat way. I wont pretend to have any knowledge of Nordic singing...
Freeze-Tag
Hailing from Ohio, Freeze-Tag describes his music as “futuristic soul” inspired by retrograde tones. He also tries to do everything about music “in the spirit of jazz”. Very interesting. We have some free downloads here from the man himself, so take a moment to digest Freeze-Tag’s “prisma-chromatic” sounds. They are a bit on the minimal...
Cosmo Black
A rather straight to the point e-mail from Australia’s Cosmo Black: “I got my heartbroken this week. Between hangovers I put together a track. Uncleared samples so might not be able to release it (it didn’t get her back so maybe it’s not good enough anyway)” [Cosmo Black - We Drink To The Sound of...

SPF-5000 – White Hot Fantasy (Franki Chan Remix)
Amy from SPF-5000 dropped this email like last month and I only just got round to it now – that’s how deep this inbox is. They’ve just got their debut, White Hot Fantasy out via Top Billin and they wanna spread the love round. Electro-house is something I’ve grown out of, but Franki Chan‘s tough...
