Next thing she's wearing my Casio

Wiley's new single has 'massive hit' written all over it, and has apparently already spawned a dance craze (look, I didn't say it was a GOOD dance craze...). Well anyway, the track is killer, and fortunately someone has seen the comedy value of teaming it with recent events. Class! The sooner they ditch the official effort the better!




On a rather more serious note are Warp's new signings Pivot, who hail from Australia and are cut from the same math-rock cloth as Battles (who they recently supported on tour). Excellent first single 'In The Blood' seems to build up numerous layers of scratching guitars, syncopated drums & analog synths into a mesmerising whole. This is the second track on the single (which also has remixes from Rustie & Clark), and sounds something like a commodore 64 tape load noise fed through a succession of echo chambers. In a good way.

I also have here an EXCLUSIVE track from the forthcoming Radioactive Man album. And it's pretty lush. Keith Tenniswood is of course a long time collaborator with Andy Weatherall, but has long forged his own electro-lined path. The album is called 'Growl', of which this track has a little. But it also has some nice melodies going on. It's more Sex Panther than rabid dog.
