VARIOUS - Veros Artis Vol.2 [Dissident]
Volume 2 in Dissident's CD collection of the label’s limited edition 12"s. Trax range from industrial dance, slow-mo-italo and hi-nrg disco…
Just what the (big, bald, gay, Dutch, EBM-loving) doctor ordered.

BETTY BOTOX - Mmm, Betty! [Endless Flight]
All 12 tracks from Betty’s most recent EPs on have been squeezed onto this most-excellent CD complete with artwork from Stefan Marx .
Getting re-edited and expanded (literally and figuratively speaking) are a selection of artists including Severed Heads, Hawkwind and (a scary as fuck track from ex-Yello member) Carlos Peron. Excellent and out-there.
THE CANYONS - The Love More EP [Hole In The Sky]
An Australian duo from Perth also behind the Hole in The Sky label whose eclectic style ranges from spacey to tropical, lounge to the club - they remind of us of less-prog Force of Nature .
Apparently this EP won DJ Harvey’s approval… Must be all them Apples and Pears.

ANDREW WEATHERALL - Double Gone Radio
It’s his very first radio show and like most that Weatherall put his name to it’s salient and potent. Who else can travel the world playing (and producing) some of the most relevant techno and electronic music and then put out compilations of 50’s R&B, rockabilly and upfront British
grot ‘n’ roll.
It’ll put hairs on your chest.
Listen to it here
EL GUINCHO - Alegranza [XL/Young Turks]
Just out here in London and soon back out to Australia for the Laneway Festival (props to Mistletone who’re also brining out Holy Fuck), this Barcelona dude is now signed to London indie Young Turks.
His music sounds like the spanish equivalent of The Black Lips
doing balearic and tropicalia. Check the video for Palmitos Park here

BEYOND THE WIZARDS SLEEVE - Ark 1 [3rd Mynd]
Erol Alkan and Richard 'The Grid’ Norris take a selection of tracks from their now hard to find previous three EPs and pop them here on a limited edition CD… It’s a trip man.

FRIENDLY FIRES - Friendly Fires [XL]
Maybe they're over hyped but there’s good reason this trio have been getting the attention. This self-titled and self-produced debut, takes punk-funk, shoegaze and pop and mixes them in a style so accessible even your mum would like them.
Just check the video for the single 'Jump in the Pool' here

PHANTOM SLASHER - Keys To The Tripod [Noid Records]
Idjut Boys under pseudonym (no. 1248) present a selection their previous dubbed-out, delayed space-funk and disco re-edits.
Smoke machines, mirror balls and poppers never seemed so appealing.
They’ve just done a new mix for DC Recordings here
BUMROCKS - El Bum [Bumrocks]
Excluding Lovefingers and 20 Jazz Funk Greats , Bumrocks are the go-to blog for late-night jams, cosmic nuggets and extended disco freakouts. Here a couple of the Bumrocks homeboys re-edit, remix and simply re-record some er, late-night jams, cosmic nuggets and extended disco freakouts. Bumrocks.com
FUCK BUTTONS - Street Horrrsing [ATP Recordings]
Fuck Buttons' music sounds something like the angelic hum of mother Earth as she breaths deep the collective aura of all that is living and exhales her aethereal breaths as radio waves and white noise, destined for the highest realms of the universe.

SILVER APPLES - Silver Apples [Phoenix Records]

LIL WAYNE - Tha Carter III [Cash Money]
C’mon, you’ve got to have guilty indulgences and the tattooed mini-man is one we’d recommend (well Jerome does anyway).
The album is worth getting just for the cover.

Here comes the new Pizzico Nobel release made on slanting hip hop vibes and subpoenas but stuffed with italo and electric shots, it reminds of something like end of 90's ninja tune stuff... no doubt Pizzico is still looking forward... and back as well. For the tenth PN release Billy wanted his prestigious remixers, friends and co-operators Enzo Ponzio, Ichisan & Nakova and young hooded "Sanaleik" project, a couple of young beat bandits that like to re-edit and deconstruct everything with a special 90's taste. Enzo's version sounds like a paranoid old fashioned underground tune, so deep and dirty; I&N's mix is like a fat and slow funk, at the top of their big talent. We hope to have made you curious enough...
