Thursday 23 July 2009
this sounds really really sad and lame, but this whole month of sobriety has made weekends seem insignificant. thats right. no alcohol and no clubs = nothing to look forward to in steve's sad life. well that actually isnt true.. this weekend is my last weekend off. i can look forward to getting back down to business next weekend. thats a nice thought..
i wanted to celebrate that thought with the new shit robot single 'simple things' which was officially released with a terje remix sometime last week, but apparently we're not allowed to post that yet.. so enjoy instead this rolling wave of a track from 07. amazingly amped and distorted disco
Shit Robot - Chasm
i always expect such diversity and flexibility from dfa artists, but shit robot have really outdone themselves.. while 'chasm' is a tough dancefloor filler, 'simple things' feels like it is being beamed directly into your ears from frankie knuckles' studio in '87. pick it up here
this mock & toof track from late last year is also high up on my 'most enjoyed' list at the moment..
love the hot chip-style road they went down with it.. a far cry from the rest of their superb tech-disco catalogue..
Mock & Toof - Underwater
that boppy bass is really irresistible.. pairing it with the pianos at the end was an absolute stroke of genius. i hope you dont skip through it too much - the way it builds is fabbo. i think it will get you through tomorrow.
bonus psychedelic-disco from mock & toof:
Mock & Toof - Brown Bred
someone was telling me the other day that 90s pianos are starting to wear a bit thin.. what do you think? i think im still enjoying them
