It's on baby, Summer is coming, Spring is almost here. I bought a wood chipper. I will master the garden. By the summer it will be there. Completeness.
Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This
Stone cold disco classic. Maybe more funk than disco? Jamie xx sampled it on Loud Places but head straight here. Shit is joyous. I can taste the sun.
Jaga Jazzist - Oban (Todd Terje Remix)
I get the feeling that Todd Terje and the whole cosmic disco thing have fallen right out of fashion but I just love it, man. It's the best. I'd not heard this remix until a week ago, but it's right up there for me, just a groove, y'know?
Clark - Town Crank
When the 6 Music DJ said this snarling weirdo synth racket was Clark, I was certain it wasn't the Warp techno don. Boy, did I have egg on my face when I learned it was the very same!
The Fall - Kicker Conspiracy
As featured in a recent The Knowledge column on music videos filmed in football grounds. Fun fact, I've had two questions answered in this long-running series (why Celtic is pronounced with a soft 'c' and prisons on club badges). I'm one cool cat.
Tŷ Gwydr - Cyna Fi Dân
Still on my New Year's Resolution of listening to more Welsh language music radio, here's some banging early 90s rave from yerrrrrr. Wish I found this while I was still doing Amser Electroneg.
Dom James, Lloyd & dontheprod - Calon y Ddraig
Wales are finally back in action this month and while I'm glad I found this banger I am well annoyed I missed it when it came out in November for the World Cup. Actually, let's forget the whole Cwpan y Byd.
Mr Phormula - Un Cenedl
Sticking with football and yn Gymraeg bangers, here is Mr Phromula with a track written for the Ukraine game. Again, gutted I missed it at the time. Big Screamadelica vibes for me, Clive. Tekkers.
Feist - My Moon, My Man (Boys Noize Remix)
I caught the original on the radio the other day. Yet all I could think about was that there was a bangin' remix of this doing the rounds when I was down in Falmouth at uni. YouTube says it's Boys Noize, and the scuzzy vocal refrain is on point, but I swear it went harder? Maybe there was another version of the remix? Or I'm misremembering. Still, this is a tidy remix of a really nice song.
Dillinja - Thugged Out Bitch
I had day pints. I came home. Big Bad Bass went straight in the Bose. So it goes.
