Ahead of next year's album release, the molto-prolific Azari & III cement their place at the top of 20102s tree with a free EP, the latest from the Scion A/V: Remix series. As well as works from CFCF , Renaissance Man and a Seth Troxler live edit, my picks are Prince Language 's Chicago house take, much complimenting the original, and another stunning production from Nicolas Jaar , this time a deeply orchestral affair, somehow balancing melancholy and warmth perfectly. Pick up those others from Scion [...]

We're playing at the Contort Yourself Megamix tomorrow night, alongside the creme de menthe of Manchester's nightlife designers. The megamixes are always a marvellous medley of melodic man-music, come on down y'all! Science bit: info HERE , tickets HERE . And a tip of the hat (apparently called a 'doff') to the good guys at Club Pony, who welcome Erol Alkan to my hometown of Sheffield next Friday. A fantastic booking for a fantastic night, without which I almost definitely wouldn't have got into dance music. Science bit: info HERE , [...]
Mighty Mouse release 'Song With No Word', their new album, on December 6th through History/Disco Circus Records. Born from a passion to create a body work rather than separate songs, think of 'Song With No Word' as a play with ten acts. But with no words. The result is a luscious soundtrack that serves, to some, as an introduction to their melodic sound, and to others their best work yet. Enjoy the fifth act, aka 'Movement 52, here. Mighty Mouse - Movement 5 There's also [...]

The latest Shit Robot album, 'From The Cradle To The Rave', is one of the best of the year. A concoction of refined sound guest starring a who's who of contributors, vocalists and more, you can listen to my pick below, the aurally delightful 'Take 'Em Up', which features the talents of the visually and aurally delightful Nancy Whang, of LCD/The Juan MacLean and other fame. Enough commas. Or watch the visually and aurally delightful video, released today, directed by Eoghan Kidney. [...]
