Your shoes look so good they're almost part of your clothes
I know we're only a couple of weeks in, but so far in 2006 i've not heard much to get my pulse racing. I think I might have a rummage through my boxes and pull out some ageing gems.
In the meantime here's some Justice-related excellence I got second-hand last week. Vicarious Bliss released their debut 12" on Ed Banger records (along with a Justice remix) a couple of years ago.
It appeared on a couple of mixes last year (Erol Alkan's Bugged Out and Dave Clarke's World Service 2) and was also re-released by Skint Records. I didn't bother buying the Skint version as I had 3 of the 4 mixes already, however I saw it in a shop at the weekend for 50p and thought I could probably stretch to that to give the Dave Clarke mix a punt. Well i'm glad I did. It's ace.
Dave Clarke is of course one of the biggest names in UK techno. The cigar-chomping ex-radio 1 DJ came to prominance with the ferocious 'Red' series, whose backwards drums and metallic beats took clubs by storm in the mid-90s.
Forever uncompromising, this mix has kept that industrial (as in factory assembly line) sound, with clattering hi-hats and a buzzsaw synth over some throbbing bass and thumping beats. By the time the half-spoken vocals arrive there's nothing vicarious about the bliss i'm experiencing.
Set the smoke machine to stunnnnnnnnn...
