Is it just me or is everything shit?
And the hits just keep on coming...
Another must buy on DFA is this absolute beauty by new signing 'Shit Robot'.
Deep scuzzy funk, a ravey piano breakdown. I keep getting flashes of different things - a bit of Carl Craig, a bit of Tech-House (except not 'cos that's shit). Oh I dunno, you try describing this dance music bollocks every day. It goes bleep and phwaft and geeeeeh and whakkawhakkawhakka in all the right places is all you need to know. And it sounds dirty not shiny. Which is obviously a good thing also.
Unfortunately my vinyl has a bad case of the jumps for about 20 seconds in the middle.... don't let that put you off though. This is some quality shit.
SHIT ROBOT - WRONG GALAXY
EDIT: REMOVED BY REQUEST
The more Italo B-Side, 'Triumph', is brilliant as well, and has James Murphy chanting like an African Warrior and DFA on the knobs. It's out this week. You do the math. (Hey, i've always wanted to say that! Despite, or perhaps because of the horrendous grammatical inaccuracy.)
Co-incidentally i'd just been digging another shit band the previous day, for this track by 'Shitdisco' was by far & away the highlight of the double CD given out on the Camden Crawl.
As per usual xxjfg were on the case 6 months before the rest of us losers, but although I downloaded & listened I didn't get the full impact at the time. I think this is why I can never see myself giving up CDs & vinyl for MP3s. Now, of course, the single is sold out. And that makes me sad.
I can't imagine a dancefloor - or car journey, church service or elevator ride for that matter - that wouldn't be improved by dropping this bad bwoy. The band sound like they've spent more time listening to The Ramones than Bobby Orlando and Donna Summer, but despite the scuzzy sound it's far more disco than most over-produced rubbish that claims to make you want to rollerskate. At the moment, in the first flushes of my relationship with the track, it sounds like just about the best thing ever. Trying to put my objective hat on for a minute... oh fuck the objective hat. It's the best thing ever.
SHITDISCO - DISCO BLOOD
Check out the excellent new single (Reactor Party) on their myspace. It doesn't start off all that promising but then goes all bleepy bubbly mental. The 'Errors' mix of Disco Blood is damn good as well, but suffers from being not as damn good as the original.
EDIT: Co-incidentally Greenpeaness has the Clor remix of Disco Blood up right now...
