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.

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!

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.

Simian Mobile Disco are coming to the infamous Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff this 3rd of May and I canne wait, especially to hear their new (ish) song 10,000 Horses Can't Be Wrong. I've also been happily revisiting their album Attack Decay Sustain Release and came across an old favourite I Believe, a track blessed with infectious bloops. I'll just post the original - I was suprised to only get my hands on a couple of remixes, neither of which are that impressive (even Switch). Any one know a good 'un?
