Take a boat to Bornholm

So, rumours of my demise have proved unfounded. A week seems like an awful long time in blogworld though... sorry to abandon you for so long again. In my defence I am still in the, er, grip of what's now been diagnosed as 'Devil's Grip'. Sounds nice, eh!

Just to get me back in the swing of things again, here's a few new remixes i've been sent.

First up, and apparently 'biochemically engineered with aural pheremones', is an unreleased South Central remix of Van She. Although many of the sounds will be familiar to South Central fans, it's overall a bit less punishing than some of their other recent remixes. Perhaps any ladies reading could let me know if the aural pheremones are correctly tuned in?

VAN SHE - SEX CITY (SOUTH CENTRAL 'DARK CITY' REMIX)


A reader known only as 'Ryan' sent me this re-edit wot he done. I don't know the original, but this is pleasingly tuneful... a nice piano house number with darker disco beats tempering what could otherwise be some overbearing joyousness.

ALICE SMITH - LOVE ENDEAVOUR (RYAN'S RE-EDIT)


Here's a couple of new mixes from Will of Adventures Close to Home. The Biffy Clyro starts of with a dark italo groove, before getting all messed up and acidic. Meanwhile The Tiger Picks starts off with a repetitive 'Disco. Electro.' vocal, but just when you start to think it's losing its focus bounces back with some nice old skool rave stabs.
