You might have loved me in the end
I've been meaning to post both of these for quite a while... but while they're not quite as hot off the press as they could have been, they are still both pretty damn hot.
First up is the much praised new single by Recloose (out to buy today) - who famously signed to Carl Craig's Planet E label after passing him a demo tape hidden in a sandwich. He's new stuff is coming out on Peacefrog - the St Albans label that has for 15 years been putting out records from Detroit & Chicago greats - along with UK techno legends like Luke Slater, Stasis & Neil Landstrumm.
This new release, 'Dust', has been picking up a lot of play from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier (again) and Mr Scruff. It's a funky-assed broken beat style track with that unmistakeable Detroit soul running through its veins.
Expect to hear this in every bar you visit for the next month.
But still like it.
RECLOOSE - DUST
I first came across the second track today thanks to a post on 20 Jazz Funk Greats a couple of weeks back. They posted the brilliant Peaches remix of this song.... however after watching the video that Matthew kindly linked to I completely fell in love with the original.
This is glorious sleazy rock music - think The Ramones or New York Dolls - played as it should be - by ugly men from Northern towns (Sheffield in this case) with leather trousers, bad hair and rock 'n' roll in their hearts.
I love the opening line 'And now my future's gone, I didn't need it anyway'
I also like that the last line is 'This is the end'.
And I particularly like all the bits in between.
p.s. Can anyone tell me the name of the instrument that Pink Grease use - the one you play with a pen that makes Dr Who noises? Watch the video & you'll see what I mean. Whatever it is, I want one!
p.p.s The last (?) AD was awesome - however was it just a tease to finish with an 'on the next season of Arrested Development' section? I hope not. Three is the magic number.

I think this is my favourite record so far this year.
I don't think Davina got the love and awe it deserved last week, so please show some love for this. Leave a comment!p.s.
