Another week and a another tote bag of exceptional new tunes. Halloween is of course rapidly approaching and like many of you I still don't have a costume ready. I suspect it will be a last minute affair which will probably involve a mask from Tesco with added cape. Anyway, other than the amazing new music I've stumbled across this week, I'm actually still quite amazed by the above photo. Surf is well and truly up.
Blog Burner:
Some week's it's genuinely quite hard to chose one song above the rest as Blog Burner but this week the choice was simple. Digitalism return (finally) with a new EP due for release on Nov 8th. This is the title track called 'Blitz' and it pretty much does what it says on the tin, erupting in an explosion of intergalactic basslines, reflective melodies and soaring synths. Ladies & gentlemen, this is electro.

All aboard the funk train now as Jesse Rose & Riva Starr come out of nowhere to start the weekend four days early. Using a BIG disco sample from the Aquarian Dream (also used by Studio 45 in the 90's for 'Freak It') don't be surprised to see people busting out The Funky Chicken to this one. Honestly, how long will it be before we all start rocking flares n fro's again?

Yet more disco grooves next as Adam Kesher returns with a new EP by the name of 'Gravy Train'. And where the last song wouldn't be out of place on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack this is straight up New York hipster material. Produced by Dave One of Chromeo it's got more than a dash of DFA and here Fortune leads it onto the dancefloor with a bassline which is aimed straight at the hips.

Finally, time to get a bit nasty with Shake Aletti & Tom Staar. Coming straight out of Sheffield and signed to Jaymo & Andy George's Moda label this is a new single called 'Dancefloor' and yet again Tom Staar has created some type of electro-tech monster which has a breakdown that will literally have people being sectioned on the dancefloor. Madness.
