orson records : sarah nixey : temposhark

folks.

some stuff to go discover.

new double cd mix, called 'the two headed monster' by up and coming uk techno label : orson.

cd 1 : craig richards

cd 2 : transparent sound

basically, the cds incorporate lots of minimal techno from various labels and artists that i have little information on other than an appearance by my fave glitterpunktechno star t.raumschmiere so i'm very happy.

then there is the new solo single by sarah nixey. released on serviceav records, which seems to have been spawned by the infantjoy project (paul morley, james banbury). the lead track, strangelove, is a superb electro pop track that should appeal to any fans of goldfrapp, but the package is fleshed out with all manner of remixes involving comma, pete davis (??) and infantjoy themselves. weirdly, the label have decided that the superb peter hook basslined filled version by the freelance hellraiser is to be only available via itunes. so for all your ipod sparkly electro dreams, head over and get yourself connected.

in other news : temposhark may have just released a cracking new single called joy (as reviewed by yours truly of course), but yesterday i happened upon a couple of promo copies of their demo verison of the still unreleased debut album recorded back in 2004. alongside 8 tracks of which a few have been released as singles, are a couple of remixes and one bootleg track, 'tom plays with his diner'  that incorporates one ms. s. vega in the mix.

i may post it to the blog should anyone be interested.

till next time.
