It´s official, Italo is back in a big way, and who do we have to thank for this? Ali Renault and Sebastian Muravchix of Heartbreak have to take much of the blame. Their album is out now, but I can´t get it here in Norway unfortunately. But if you´re somewhere else in the world you should definitely get a copy here . Or just enjoy the first single "We´re Back". Heartbreak - We´re Back

Time to push my friends again, and again it´s Stanley Steel (pictured above with Redman ) coming at us with some sample heavy hip-hop-ish ish. The first track is a rework of James Horner´s beautiful and haunting theme for Oscar-winner A Beautiful Mind . And the second I don´t know, but DJ Mhedi used the same sample for his massive 2007 hit "Signatune". Stanley Steel - A Kaleidoscope Of Mathematics Stanley Steel - One Crazy Ass Beat

I just discovered that my favorite dj team in the world did a Radio 1 Essential Mix back in 2006. The team in question is of course the two Scotsmen JG Twitch and JG Wilks who make up the super musical/art empire Optimo Espacio . They mix up the old and the new like few else do. So if you don´t already have their How To Kill The Dj vol 2 CD you should definitely do something about that. Pete Tong gives all relevant information about the duo at the [...]

Laurie Anderson is an American experimental artist, initially trained as a sculptor she dabbled in a variety of different performance art activities in the 60´s and 70´s. Her claim to her 15 minutes came in 1981 when her single "O Superman" hit number 2 in UK charts. She is still active as a musician and artist. In 2005 German minimal duo M.A.N.D.Y. did an unofficial remix that was released on white label (or actually with a cartoon on it that shows superman saving Mandy). M.A.N.D.Y.´s version is a clubification [...]

I can´t say I´m a big fan of Germany´s Digitalism , but they have a good taste in music, even though the music they make is kind of noisy and a little passé. But the mix they did for French hipster label Kitsuné entitled "Tabloid" is a great funk-electro-rock oriented gem. And here it is free as a bird.
