OO its getting close to Christmas and so... here is an entirely un-christmasy tape. Never mind, I'm sure you're getting your Christmas fix elsewhere. I won't be updating Cassette Culture till January now because I'm having a bit of a holiday! So I hope you enjoy this tape. See you in the New Year.
Italians Fare Soldi bring us their track Tutto Tutti Sempre Subito a gloriously rapid electro chirper.

An absolutely storming remix of The Yeah Yeah Yeah's Cold Light by French duo Les Petits Pilous.

Here's Hot City with their grooving track Head Work. It sounds a little like an electronic bag pipe / wailing spanner.
Hot City - Head Work
Australian artist Pogo weaves together short samples from films and other sources to create beautiful electro tapestries. Featuring samples from Mary Poppins Expialidocious is just one of many great Pogo tracks.
Pogo - Expialidocious
A cool, atmospheric piano track from Deadmau5. A relaxing way to end. Faxing Berlin.

So Calvin Harris went a little bit house on us with his new single Not Alone which was pretty unexpected. But I really the like the track and the way Calvin defied a mass of greedy bloggers clamouring around trying to get their insatiable paws on his gold by ripping it from his Myspace. If you haven't heard, he popped up a slightly altered version containing frequent lyrical interruptions about his nan. Cracking. Anyhow, I assure you this Deadmau5* remix contains no grandma references. And its a glorious dubby style take on the original. Post-disco = yes!

* For those interested, the name "Deadmau5" does upset me somewhat. I've developed the habit of calling cats "maos", so as you can see, the name has brutal connotations.
