M83 "Midnight City" Disco Wobblez Bootleg

You know how you get email updates from Soundcloud telling you random folk you've never heard of have "shared" tracks with you? This is one of those.

You know that French-electro style that peaked around the height of Nu-Rave but is vaguely voguish again because of the film Drive? This is one of those.

You know people who unofficially remix tracks by better known artists in the hope of getting more attention? This is one of those.

You know those pleasant surprises you get when something you expect to be cack turns out to be actually pretty decent? This is one of those.

Motown Meltdown

Thanks to Paul McCann for this. "Motown Meltdown" is a series of bootleg remixes of old Motown hits. They creators found a set of old karaoke discs which had the stereo mixes split into vocals/instrumental, making the remix process much easier than normal. The results are quite surprising, and pretty good to boot. There are two free download albums of the tracks right here: http://www.gigantesound.com/artist_motown.html

Bass Clef is awesome - Download him live.

We love Bass Clef. Seriously, he's just wonderful - Trombone-led UK electronic music that mixes dub, idm, breakbeat and some weird funky vibes. He gigged at the subby at the now-defunct Kinky Afro, and pretty much blew the roof off. He's coming back to play at Stereo for Boom Monk Ben's mighty Mixed Bizness club night in April. (Full details here)

We got a hold of the recordings last time, and rinsed a few on our radiomagnetic.com show, but there's also a wee excerpt we didn't play out available here - right click to download. Reckon we might leak the whole set at some point soon.

On the Boom Monk Ben tip, his new mix is all the hip-shaking, bass-wobbling goodness you'd expect from Glasgow's Nicest DJtm, and can be downloaded from here (Go to Page). Full tracklisting over there - DJ Moneyshot, Skream, Missy Elliot. It's tasty.

Great interview with Bassclef over at spannered.org

The DIY festival

Before we went to Germany, there was a festival in Glasgow celebrating DIY culture. We thought it might be nice if someone could record the music being performed, so we went along and did it ourselves.
The lovely folks over at Winning Sperm Party have put one of the recordings up, and here it is.

We've played some on our radio show, and intend to put some more about the place, so keep yr eyes and ears peeled.
