You Are The Music In Me
Perhaps at times I should stop gabbing on about football & glowsticks and just post some good music up. God knows I have enough of a backlog.
This is a new Playgroup remix of M.Craft, forthcoming on 679 Recordings. I don't know too much about M.Craft, but this mix by Trevor Jackson is superb. It's blissful spun-out sunshine disco, and as such is probably being released about 3 months too late. But the last embers of summer are just about holding on, and perhaps if you fix yourself a cocktail, lower yourself into a deckchair and slap this on the stereo, we might make it to November without coats. This dub is perfectly constructed, and the vocals hit at exactly the right moment as far as i'm concerned, giving a lovely release to the track after such a patient build-up.

M.CRAFT - YOU ARE THE MUSIC (PLAYGROUP DUB)
Trevor Jackson's Output label of course went to the vinyl factory in the sky recently. But you can download MP3s from some of their last releases here. I've not listened to any myself, so can't recommend anything. Perhaps if you hear something that gives your ears an erection you could let me know in the comments....
Something that's stuck on my stereo since I was sent it a few weeks ago is a lovely album by Cacoy called 'Human is Music'. It's quirky Japanese electronica, with a real pop edge. The beats and melodies are beautifully (and by beautifully I mean stupendously) produced by DJ Klock, and Saya's vocals are full of innocent joy and wonderment. The album seems to have taken a strange route to these shores, having been released in Japan in 2003 then re-released by a Danish label (Rumraket) in March this year. However it made it, i'm glad it did. It's been my bedtime soundtrack for many nights recently.
CACOY - MURAL OF MUSIC
Finally here's a track from a mysterious 12" out this week by The Black Ghosts. Supposedly the work of some famous producers under a concealed identity, i'm not sure it's as dark and ghoulish as their myspace profile tries to paint them.... but it is a catchy as fuck bit of electro pop that will keep kids dancing. You'll find it on Southern Fried records this week.
