Go Commando
A good compilation is hard to find these days. As a contemporary audience we seem to take our cues from the over-thinking John Cusack in High-Fidelity and our Pitchfork shaped tongues are quick to lash out when anything falls below par.
Fortunately Go Commando, mixed by James Friedman, although being very now, is still much better than being very yesterday. Like a pinger in a pot of draft Go Commando is a dash cunning mix of electro and indie-anthems alike with Annie, Who Made Who, Bloc Party, Tiefschwarz, Tom Vek, The Knife and Out Hud to name a few. It also includes remixes by The Rapture/HushHush, Blackstrobe and Gucci Soundsystem.
So, in an age when everyone seems to be a DJ, it is nice to know that there is a compilation all intoxicated turntable hacks can rely on when they a) realise that they are too drunk to mix, or b) realise that they have no talent.
Release: Compilation
To Cure: An empty dancefloor
