Late Of The Pier do a nice line is noised up electro rock and their new double A side single is out May 19th. There’s a great remix by Switch that has some massive stynth action and a new wave vibe, and it’s not what you’d expect from a big name on the fidget house scene, although everyone and their granny seems to be getting their fidget on these days.
Over at Mochipet’s remix blog you can check out some of the recent remixes that have been submitted for the competiton we talked about previously. This rhythmic rework by Argentina’s goggled-eyed Frikstailers should be in with a shot.

So Yazoo have reformed and it’s fair to say it was greeted with more enthusiasm than some recent reunions. They’re just about to kick off an extensive tour and have recently released the ’Nobodys Diary’ Ep through Mute. Hercules & Love Affair aka Andy Butler has also done a remix of the duo’s early nineties mega hit which is pretty fantastic.
The wonderful Booka Shade have an album coming out on May 26th called ‘The Sun and The Neon Light’ and they’ve remixed their own classic tune to support the release.
The doggy looks suitably equipped for a spot hanging out the window at high speed, I passed a parked car yesterday that had a dog sat behind the wheel and that always makes you look twice. Anyway, Sarah McLeod was the singer in The Superjesus and her solo single ‘He Doesn’t Love You’ got a remix from dj/producer Hook n Sling and it went big. Her latest offering also gets some dancefloor tweaking by fellow Aussie Bass Kleph.
The Herve and Sinden project Machines Don’t Care is gathering pace. Collaborators so far include Fake Blood, Drop The Lime, Trevor Loveys, Detboi, Toddla T and Affie Usuf. They’ve paired off with the aim to make some inventive club music and two vinyl album samplers are set to drop June 23rd, followed by a full cd album on July 7th.
Buzzin Fly always put out quality music and they’re about to release a complilation entitled ‘Five Golden Years In The Wilderness’ on June 23rd. Set over three discs, ‘Up’ contains ten of the hottest dancefloor tracks the label has put out, ‘Down’ is the deeper stuff, and ‘Forward’ features some recently-signed tracks. To get you interested here’s a previously unreleased Justin Martin track from a couple of years back.
mp3: justin martin - bottoms up (128).
It’s been a while since Tommie Sunshine was featured on these pages but he just hit me up with some very exclusive stuff that has only previously been heard in his dj sets. Here, Imogen Heap’s sublime vocal track ‘Hide And Seek’ gets a nice acid reworking.
mp3: imogen heap - hide and seek (tommie sunshine’s acid edit).
Here’s the official remix of the latest single from Nerd and Skateboard P got his pals on board. Another track ‘Spazz’ is floating around the internets too if you know where to look, like here.
mp3: nerd ft. lupe fiasco & pusha t - everyone nose (remix).
I love this sign in Manchester and there’s also one which reads ‘..collaborate and listen’, but this one wins. Anyway, Matt Jay aka The Systemite has just sent over this great little edit of the Rick James track that Hammer sampled for his big, baggy trousered hit.
The Insomniacs Ball returns to the 3000 capacity seOne in London on May 31st. The great line-up features Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, The Ghost Frequency, Dead Kids, Haunts, Punks Jump Up, with many more tba. Adventures Close To Home host the clubroom with DJ sets from Radioclit, Riton, DJ, Orgasmic and Misty Rabbit.

Fuelled by Beer and a love of Airwolf and Wrestling, Seattle lo-fi tech nerds Truckasaurus use vintage roland drum machines and synths to make pretty glorious analog sounds, all sequenced by a modded Gameboy.
Their eagerly awaited debut album ‘Tea Parties Guns and Valor’ is out May 27th on Fourth City and contains nine original tracks, plus remixes from DJ Collage, Jerry Abstract, Copy and Plan B. You can get the official exclusive pre-release here.
Wow I miss the big gulps on days like today. Anyway, Matt and Kim got a great Radioclit remix for Frankie Chan’s recent Scion Mixtape and this drummy workout stood out. The duo are currently midway through a handful of UK tour dates so catch them if you can.
