Ahoj Hoj

Jesus. Ten years later, I have a functional computer and internet access. To sum up the last however long it's been, I went to La Route Du Rock in St. Malo, France (front row at Sigur Rós & Midnight Juggernauts, among others); soaked up culture and an unhealthy amount of beer in Bruges; did whatever whatever in Amsterdam; experienced the "club until it's lunchtime then have a döner kebab and pass out" mentality that pervades Berlin; and arrived safely in Prague with a sore liver. I'm in Prague now til late December, which is either good or bad depending on your age and level of fun-lovingness. The city is what would happen if Amsterdam, Berlin and someplace in Russia had a badass kid.

MUSIC

I've been away from my computer for long time, so I'm trying hard to catch up on what I've missed in that time. To tide myself over while I didn't have a computer, I've been listening to Sample And Hold, Flux: The Remixes, Apocalypso, Diary Of An Afro Warrior, and a smattering of DJ Fresh EPs. As a consequence, I'm posting some songs that are a wee bit old. I've been going nuts on torrents since I woke up today though, so I'll be able to contribute some new stuff as well.

FIRST UP: Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler (Joakim Remix)

So gully. The breakdown about 4 minutes in makes the song. I'm the only person dancing on my trams to class, and this why.

NEXT: Bloc Party - I Still Remember (SebastiAn Remix) What? I don't know what adjectives to use. The beat goes from upbeat to melancholy but stays danceable throughout. SebastiAn has the magic touch. This may be the only song I've listened to more than "Hustler."

NEXTY-NEXT: AutoKratz - Stay The Same (Edit)I'm a sucker for any song with chopped lyrics, be it electronic or Texan. It's the former in this case. This is from the new Kitsuné Compilation (Kitsuné Maison 6). As they make more of these they get better and better.

SUPER NEXT: Ayres & Tittworth's T&A Records just released a new EP called "Ghetto Pass." The whole thing's tight like a tiger, but Technics' remixes of Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place" are bonkers. Who loves Radiohead? Everybody does. People like Bodymore club too. The bird noises are clutch. DJ Technics - Everything (FX Mix)

Ta friends. Hopefully I'll be back later today.
