Fox Gut Daata
First up, FGD live - We gave away a wee extract from his live performance at Stereo a while back, but he's just up uploaded a full live set to Soundcloud. While there's aspects of skwee, folktronica and down-tempo in his music, FGD's sound, like that of his close friends Rustie and Hudson Mohawke is most influenced by classic boom-bap hip-hop. This is awesome.Fox Gut Daata LIVE@Concrete Streets, Fri 9th Dec 2009 by foxgutdaata
He's also remixed Dam Mantle, who have definitely taken a great deal of influence from FGD's fusion of experimental and club-orientated music.

Ben Butler and Mousepad.Joe Howe aka Germlin / one half of Gay Against You, now makes music as Ben Butler and Mousepad, mentioned a few times on this blog - it's a proggy fusion of mad synth meandering, wonky drumming and occaisonal pop genius breaking through the mess. I've just found him on soundcloud, along with a couple of utterly nuts new tunes. Mucky sailor - requiem for a sports car (bean butler disco mix) by ben butler & mousepad
First up is a remix of Mucky Sailor, who we came across back at Croc vs Croc's mega birthday bash, which remains one of the best gigs I've ever been at. Kanye West - love lockdown (bean butler rubdown) by ben butler & mousepad
Not as good as the really, really stupid splicing of Burial's Archangel and Kanye's megahit, but I love these remixes he's doing. Grab them, and more, from his soundcloud.
You can also get the entire Gay Against You back catalogue from their Bandcamp site - surreal, lo-fi, neon-tinted madness that was all self-released with unique liner notes and packaging. Well worth finding. Look out for My Gay Unicorn - one of the most brilliantly fractured slices of pop music ever.
