For there are brighter sides to life
Like Morrissey, i'm Still Ill. Damn this interminable flu!
Fortunately my spirits were lifted yesterday when the postman brought new CDs from two Friends of Headphonesex - 'Adventures Close to Home' and 'South Central'.
Adventures Close to Home are celebrating the launch of their record label with a single by New York's Holy Hail, an excellent slice of no wave Tom Tom Club-style NY Funk.
Although backed with a remix by Bonde do Role (and apparently with more hot remixes to drop in the future), my favourite is this one by Shir Khan. It's got all those beats & bass sounds that kids love.
HOLY HAIL - BORN OF A STAR (SHIR KHAN REMIX)
If nothing else, that remix reminds me of those South Central chaps. Which brings me nicely onto a new mix of theirs I have to share.
This sticks nicely to their 'lull you into a false sense of security with some fairly tranquil glitchy beats' template, before suddenly exploding hot, sticky heavy metal all over your fucking face. The swines!
THE SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND - PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE (SOUTH CENTRAL REMIX)
This comes out on City Rockers in a Sunshine Underground vs South Central remix package that also includes a remix of 'Borders' (the new SU single). Also look out for South Central mixes of 'War Out There' by Radar.
Look: Holy Hail and South Central AND BONUS HADOUKEN!
For those who like your dance music a bit more Nintendo, I've been enjoying this 8-bit rocker remix of The Black Ghosts, forthcoming on Southern Fried Records.
Those are the black ghosts, and this is Boy 8-Bit who wot dun the remix.
The winning parts are those where the nintendo ninja comes out on top in the IK+ showdown with the evil ghosts. As the fight continues though, the ghosts gain supremacy and the lovely noises get slightly hidden in the mix. Still nice shit though.
THE BLACK GHOSTS - ANYWAY YOU CHOOSE TO GIVE IT (BOY 8-BIT REMIX)
Now ludicrously, despite still feeling shitty, i'm going away for a week's snowboarding. In my absence, why not perhaps buy a CD rather than leaching MP3s off the interweb?
I can't think of anything better to go for than this new mix CD on igetrvng. Why? It's mixed by Justine D of Motherfucker. It's got an awesome tracklisting. It's limited & beautifully packaged. And it's cheap as shit! $5 in the US or $7 internationally. Get on it!
