Our man Pinglewood just posted this nice mix from Stalker: "Stalker told us this brand new mix was three months in the making, but who knows what that really means. In his world the usual laws of time and space don't apply. He puts rappers on torture racks, protracts and distends R&B sirens until they're bloated and weird, even uncovers the shadiness in Sade. And wait until you hear what he does to the Mac..." Stalker - 48 (direct link)

As Origami floods through your ears like an erupting fire hydrant, kaleidoscopic spurts of technicolour guitar swathes lap into each [...]

Becoming Real has also just done a little interview on Fader , where he talks 9/11 and the Microphones. Banjo or [...]
