Attar! (Featuring Cherry), “The Fool” (Pete Oak Remix)
The original is rather excellent, as Renaud Deru’s productions tend to be, but Pete Oak’s takes the track into sonic canyons where deep bass and mammoth synths dominate the soundscape and vocals are chopped and distorted into new shapes.
A bit melancholy, this one, and probably our best in months, if we say so ourselves.
Tracklisting:
1. You Don’t Love Me - BlackBirdz
2. Skin & Bone - Marlon Hoffstadt and HRRSN
3. Nothing Compares 2 U (Nelue Rework) - Sinead O’Connor
4. VIP (Haze-M Remix) - Saccao
5. Hell Could Freeze (Skream Remix) - Rudimental
Download from Soundcloud if you enjoy it, share if you really enjoy it. Thank you!
Du Tonc, “Rise”
We’ve already sang our paeans to Matt Van Schie and Mighty Mouse’s Du Tonc project, so just assume that we absolutely love this.

Sally Shapiro, “This City’s Local Italo Disco DJ Has A Crush On Me” (Little Boots Discotheque Remix)
From Elsewhere, the remix companion to Somewhere Else comes this take by Little Boots that, appropriately, makes the best track on the Shapiro’s latest album a bit more dancefloor friendly. Lots of the sort of thing we like here: shimmering synths, vocals that are processed just a smidge and a minimal groove that keeps the whole thing together as it buils into something.
