SINGLES & REMIXES MYSPLICE SESSIONS WE DON'T DISCO THE FOUND SOUND ORCHESTRA XFM SESSIONS

Bat for Lashes & Peter Gabriel remixes
PG

The best albums are the growers aren't they. The new Bat for Lashes one is currently growing all sorts of stuff at my place. Cosmic pop with a dash of Fleetwood Mac and Kate Bush , the album Two Suns is beautifully haunting and, unlike much of the new champion sound, is well worth revisiting several times. I got hold of the vocal and decided to give it a laid back disco twist. The original is my favourite thing right now so I hope I've done it some justice.

'Games without frontiers' is without doubt my favourite Peter Gabriel track....ever. As a kid the line 'Jane plays with Willy, Willy is happy again', was an endless source of amusment....as was changing the words to 'Enrico does a sh*t'. Oh how we laughed. This fun really was hiding the fact that the song scared the crap out of me and was, absolute, total genius. Kate Bush (there's the very thin thread tying these together) on backing vocals and a whistling chorus - it doesn't get much better. Register at the Real World web site and remix it for yourselves...along with a whole lots more.

An igloo is a very cold place but my house is warm (thanks Del ;)). Come inside, find a communal dressing gown. Cup of hot tea?

The Chill genre has been a mixed bag for a few years now. Crusty, new age, ambient dribble gets caught up with some beautiful downtempo, acoustic, soulful grooves on countless ‘Ibiza Chill Out’ CD’s. It has to be said that the Ministry of Sound Chilled compilations capture the best laid back tracks on offer. Jose Gonzalez and Bat for Lashes alongside Aeroplane and Ratatat. Could the cool kids be kept happier? Sooooo, when Ministry requested a mashed up, chill out set it got me summer time rest vibes going.

This team9 collection is neither crusty or beautiful? These tracks mix up my favourite laid back, summer moments (some from waaayyy back) with vocals from Massive Attack, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand and Candi Staton. The tracks were broadcast on Ministry of Sound radio during the weekend of 6th June 2009.

"We Don't Disco" - free album, remix packs, steak knives...

Melodic, ambient and twisted - "We Don't Disco" is the first original team9 album since 2003. Pitchfork say that unless you provide comparisons, no one bothers listening. So, how about Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre taking Royksopp and Fad Gadget out the back of the kebab shop for a smoke. Licenced under Creative Commons, it's all yours to do with what you want. There are also 4 remix packs for you to use and abuse. Let me know what you think.

Thanks to Tomas Ford, Party Ben, Squire and Rosie for lending their talents.
