Another Monday rolls round then, but what a weekend. People are still talking about CO-OP's impromptu rave on Midland St on Friday night and it really is testament to just how exciting Glasgow's club scene is at the moment. If you want to get noticed these days it would seem you really have to be doing something rather interesting. There's absolutely no room for monotony, with Glasgow bursting at the seams with club nights you have to push the boat out! Anyway, here's some tunes I'll be listening to this week as we go hurtling towards another weekend.
BLOG BURNER:
Like Dr Dre last week this is another tune that I've been relentlessly searching for the past few weeks, only to find it's already out. There's no point in beating around the bush here, this is easily one of the hottest Drum & Bass songs of the year. Standout cut from Break's massive 'Resistance' album, the combination of heart wrenching vocals that literally reach out at you from the speakers, plus devastating drops make this utterly sensational.
Break ft/ Die - Slow Down
Next up, the weird & wonderful David Lynch diverts his twisted genius from film to music with this emotionally detached slice of robotic future-pop. Cold, calculated synths create a metallic atmosphere, while heavily vocodered vocals split by explosions and gunfire create the impression that this could be the pleading voice of a military android fighting some far flung war of the future. A very involved, but satisfying listen.

After ruling the 2010 Miami Winter Music Conference with his highly addictive Boys Noize endorsed 'Tellyfoam', Jan Driver returns with another slice of bass bin scraping bashment in the form of 'Gain Reaction'. Drawing on the same formula as the likes of Seiji & other genre-bending visionaries I can imagine the reaction when this finally drops on a dancefloor and it's far from civilised.

Finally, New York hipsters Hercules & Love Affair return with a tribute to early 90's house in this seriously slick slice of four to the floor dancefloor action. Featuring on their forthcoming second album 'Blue Songs', Shaun Wright provides some truly class vocals over a bouncy, warm bassline. You can imagine the Fast Show's Louis Balfour giving this a resounding 'NICE' at the Jazz Club. It even features a boombox inspired wig out close to the end.
