It’s The Beat
Flashback to 1989, to a warehouse on the outskirts of Belgium and you might just find yourself raving your furry monster feet off to the vocals of Femc Ya Kid K.
Fast forward to 2007, to an inner city faux-warehouse-come-rave-cave in uptown Melbourne and you're most likely going to hear Simian Mobile Disco's homage to those Eurobeat superstars in the form of their new track ‘It's The Beat', courtesy of Ninja from The Go Team.
Rainbow Man
After numerous 7 inches and remix appearances, Ed Banger Records boss Busy P has delivered his debut solo 12". On this EP you'll find three equally awesome tracks. ‘Chop Suey' is pure ghetto tech compressed and cut up, and the title song ‘Rainbow Man' provides the perfect wobbling tune for any trans-dimensional disco missions.
Remix #02
Hot on the heels of last year's M.A.N.D.Y. and Kaos Roxy Music re-workings comes remix installment number 2. This time at the helm, New York hot dog's Rub ‘n' Tug stroke Mr. Ferry's avalon classic ‘The Main thing' and The Glimmers offer an equally arousing flip. Keep an ear to the ground for future reworks, forthcoming artists set to remix Roxy Music favourites include Peaches, Tiga, Dfa, Headman and more.
Uniqorns
Limited to only 1000 copies on vinyl this slugish slice of psychedelic disco is the debut offering from King Kung Foo records, a brand new label from Antwerp's Red Light District. This one is a must for fans of Eskimo and Whatever We Want records, on the flip side the Quiet Village interpretation transports you to a 'virtual tropical paradise where goddesses roam and colours reign'.
'Raven'
Following his debut release 'Dance Not Dance', Germany's Cajuan pulls on the happy pants and shuffles his way onto the biggest dance floors for this Nu-Rave spec-pang-tacular.
Complete with a huge distorted orchestral hook ala Justice and more drive than a Mack truck 'Raven' is set to be one of the larger tunes in the global underground over the next few months, with a cover designed by none other than Melbourne's own Dan Whitford (Cut Copy, Alter) it makes a Fine addition to any collection and an essential purchase for any budding dancefloor destroyers.
