Delano Smith, Christopher Rau & Ray Mang

Yowch! Another two weeks of silence on Blouse has come to an end. Work apparently didn't get the memo to stop burdening me with stuff so that I could focus more on my blog. Ah well.

It was by pure chance that I stumbled across this ditty in a random Dropbox folder on my computer recently.
My eyes instantly lit up when I saw my man Mang's name on the mix, but it wasn't until I popped it on that I realised the extent to the balmy bliss that would be found within.

so apparently we only get friday once a week

ray mang has been on the radar for some time now after a few quality remixes- including a couple for friendly fires and chaz jankel.
his track 'look into my eyes' may have been doing the rounds for a little while but its soft, ethereal feel is still ticking all my love boxes.

Ray Mang - Look Into My Eyes

do you think it sounds a bit like the awesome severed head's opus 'dead eyes opened'? i know i certainly had to slam the cut copy fabriclive on immediately after first hearing it. a good thing. anyway, it is lifted from his bullet proof ep, which you can pick up here.

this next track by danton eeprom might initially seem like a bit of a backwards step in friday-danceability, but the subtle yet expansive composition and all-encompassing bass somehow have my feet tapping.

Danton Eeprom - Stilettos Rising

grab his latest album 'yes is more' here.

pete herbert's recent mix of golden bug will finish up my friday afternoon pretty nicely i think. converting golden bug's original tech-disco number into a glamourous, funk-fuelled, d-floor burner was a masterstroke by p-herb.. i need a french martini now.

Golden Bug - Flamingo (Pete Herbert Remix)

weekend ahoy!
