New Aphex Twin dropped on his not-at-all secret SoundCloud account a couple of days ago. In fact, the artwork is a holiday snap (does AFX have guns??).
The other track is Zahl am1 live track 1c f760m1 unfinshd, which has this blurb "got many requests for this one from a few years back, italy, pic with my love from scilly recently...need sun...relentlessly raining in uk...mixed down on the zahl, think theres better mixes, will upload if i find em,"
The moment that melody line kicks in at 30 seconds, you just know the Dewaele brothers are involved in this. And yep, it's on Deewee and has that late Soulwax vibe that I'm such a sucker for.
'Tis the season, appaz. Last week The Futureheads released a whole album of Christmas songs called... Christmas.
I'm not sure I'll be slapping down £15 for the CD, but there are a few bangers on it. If I ever do another Xmas Mix, then their cover of 'What's This?' from A Nightmare Before Christmas will 100% be there...
Who remembers Deutschland 83? Man, that was good TV. Anyway, The Space Lady does a cover of what would become the theme tune to the series, originally done by Peter Schilling. I feel The Space Lady works really well in a list/mix/radio show, but not sure I'd want an album or gig of it, y'know?
Straight outta Do!! You!!! It might take a few spins, but when it hits, it stays hit.
Honest to God, if you told me I'd be posting a Van Morrison track when I started this blog in 2009, especially after that dogshit Green Man show, I would simply not be having it.
A recurring theme in these lists is me always choosing the oldest and crispiest video on YouTube if I can, and today is no exception. There's higher fidelity out there, but I know this tune from taping Fabio off Radio 1 back in the day. Taping as in taping with shitty cassettes recorded over and over again. Hiss me, Hardy.
Anyway, this absolute d'n'b roller from 2001 was featured in Reduced 39, Mumdance's Substack, where they post 5 tracks and 2 DJ mixes every Thursday. And that's it, all links, no words. Jump in and jump up.

A Llantwit Major-based music blog for things post-punk, electronic and a little bit left of centre, with second-hand cultural musings, third-rate sociological stabbings and very rarely the odd mp3.
I also write the odd album review for Buzz Magazine and used to present Amser Electroneg on Bro Radio.
