If magic chickens made music instead of golden eggs, I think we'd see something along the lines of this lot. The mix is here.
Mainframe is a new light 'n beaty instrumental from Kris Menace under the name Love on Laserdisc. EP out soon.
Love on Laserdisc - Mainframe
Favourites of last week's tape, Fear of Tigers and Edwin Van Cleef (who I incorrectly said was French when he's actually from Leeds - oops!), come together in one cracking package. The Adventures of Pippi Longstrump, a track from Fear of Tigers impending album does its superb name justice in this mighty remix.

Apparently partly educated by a Japanese robot called Victor, Golden Bug is the chap behind this electro number that REALLY gets good when Gloves does a rewrite and we hit 3 mins in...
Golden Bug - Last Dance In Tokyo (Gloves rewrite)
Well I was faffing around making the mix of this week's tape and I couldn't find a new track that fitted in so I just whacked in an old Van She Technologic remix. Bizarrely, Van She Tech remixed this track by accident. Apparently the manager of a band sent them the parts for this I Am Finn track instead of the band they were actually supposed to be remixing. And I don't think anyone, including Van She, has heard anything from I Am Finn since!
I Am Finn - I Love You (Van She Tech remix)
Simian Mobile Disco have just released a bizarre video for their track Cruel Intentions. Does any one know what that's about?? It's certainly one of the better tracks from their Temporary Pleasure and Beth Ditto does a grand job on vocals. This is the scrunched up Joker remix.

At first the name Jonathan Boulet conjured up images (and sounds) of a James Blunt type figure, strumming out some generic guitar music and generally annoying everybody. Well, I've come to the conclusion that that perception was entirely based on the fact that they both have the initials JB and it is a complete myth. The real Jonathan B is actually a 20 year old "wonder boy" signed to the Australian Modular Records. This is the ambient Album Leaf remix of his track A Community Service Announcement, a nice quiet one to end of this week's tape. You can download the original for free at LastFM.

Susan was at the park and sat under a tree, with her book, her bike and a flask of hot chocolate. This weeks tape is named after her! Download mixed here.
Something a bit different to start things off - electro-strings! Twirling violins make this electro number stand out from the rest. Something A La Mode with Rondo Parisiano.
Something A La Mode - Rondo ParisianoA classic mid-set track from Soulwax's Dewaele brothers, produced under the pseudonym Samantha Fu, Theme from Discotheque is a just a cool man talking and then some smacking beats. The Mixhell edit makes the floor shake a little more.

The beautiful lyrical meanderings of Phoenix have been re-crafted by many and this is one of my favorite tracks, Fences. Slower and softer.

And this ones from Anoraak who I've never heard of before. They sound a little like The Teenagers but maybe that's because they're both French. Listen to this whilst driving at night down an empty motorway if that can be arranged.

Hi all, sorry about the lack of posts the last few days, I've been down in London at the Notting Hill Carnival which was pretty fun. I haven't got my photo's developed yet but this chaps are quite good if you fancy a ganders.
Guess I've got a lot of catching up to do! Good news is I have a few interviews in the pipeline which is really exciting. I'll keep it a surprise who they are because its just so much more thrilling if I do that (one band is actually famous you might say!).
But back to the music. Today's chaps are Australian electro-band PNAU and their side-project Empire of the Sun (a collaboration between Nick Littlemore from PNAU and Luke Steele from The Sleepy Jackson)
Here's a PNAU track "With You Forever" remixed by Fear of Tigers.
Preview and download:
