It's four in the morning and I am randomly searching the internet in a unproductive manner, then by mistake I come across Bearbot . Bearbot is a mash-up making dude from Brooklyn who shows that there could be life in this genre yet. He reminds me very much of Popchop who is also a mash-up dude with skills too. I think I like Bearbot more though... Head on over to his site where there are lots of nice happy-treats to be found. BEARBOT - Me and You (Cut Copy vs. Peter, [...]

Here is a name you may not have heard before - Hidden Cat . The thing is, you really should have heard his name before because chances are you've been listening to one of his remixes without actually knowing it. Yes, remember that Soulwax remix of "A Fifth Of Beethoven" which appeared on blogs a number of months ago? Well as you may have heard, this was not a genuine version of the track. But the thing is, it was never supposed to appear that way. When Hidden Cat sent out his "recreation" of the [...]

One final new track from my inbox for now, in the form of punchy, funky electro-goodness from up-and-coming DJ Hidden Cat . "The Superfuture" is an amazing tune and I've barely been able to stop listening to it since I first heard it. Highly recommended as a fresh sound for 2009.

Yes; this is THE Soulwax remix of "A Fifth of Beethoven", played by Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band.

Nevertheless, ignore the " RAaaaAAadio Ooooooooone " jingles that try to ruin the song, and enjoy the fact that you can actually listen to the genuine Soulwax version. If the above has completely puzzled you, [...]

Hullo crew. Exciting things are happening at the mo. For one, Tim Sweeney (a la Beats In Space , DFA , RVNG , etc) will be warping the heads of us lucky Aussies in October which I'm seriously convulsing with glee over. It's being put on by HAHA Industries - go investigate, get tickets, and have yourself an experience. To celebrate in a minutely related way, allow me to continue bombarding you with DFA choonz. The first Syclops one is really really cool, as long as you have a little patience. [...]
