CLAPTONE are currently working on new tracks for EXPLOITED and they just finished 2 remixes – 1 for BACKYARD and 1 for ESKIMO.
After gigs in Australia and Europe here are more dates from Claptone.
Friday night from 9pm is all about the legendary Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. This week Hamburg rising stars the Adana Twins take time out whilst on tour in Brazil for 15 Minutes Of Fame and Pete chats to Damien Lazarus as his Crosstown Rebels label marks its 100th release. Big show.
Shir Khan and the illusive Exploited crew reveal the fourth installment of the cultishly adored Black Jukebox series. This particular offering contains just one track – complete with a dub version. “Lucy In The Sky With Pearls” is an electronic vocal house workout by the production talents of N (Noir). It’s so catchy that – ‘you can almost imagine Calvin Harris mainrooming this at the O2 Arena’ – but upon further inspection we rated its credentials much more underground. Just listen to those twangy, rubberized synthlines – oh Crosstown Rebels and Hot Creations will be jealous! The main hook is the earworm of all earworms – you’ll be singing it all day and night after just one listen. It’s feel-good, sun-blushed but druggy, late night and totally electric all at the same time. Just one of those ‘anthems’ that’ll never get on the radio or on in the press, but will be in 300 or so record boxes across the world, ready to cause secret devastation when called upon. Essential.
Andre Crom & Martin Dawson are back on Exploited. 3 Killercuts (including mixes by Beatport Top 10 Acts Flashmob & Monte) for the dancefloor. Featuring the almighty Roland Clark on vocals.
