You're The One For Me

Just getting ready for this year's annual mudfest at T-In-The-Park. Weather does not look promising. Anyway ... will be listening to this on the drive there.

I always wondered where that sample came from originally, so a quick google later and it turns out to be Broken Glass apparently. New one on me - good stuff though.

OK .. .time now for a bit of a rant. I reckon Orbital are possibly one of the most important electronic acts of the last twenty years. So why do they keep ripping off fans by re-issuing best of compilations. True, their latest Orbital20 does have two (or three if you go iTunes) new remixes, but in these download friendly days, is it worth getting a whole album for a couple of new, to be honest not much cop, remixes ? I'm not convinced either that this is still a definitive "best of" but if you're really interested, I've put my personal choice in the comments below. Rant over.

Voodoo, Magic

I'm pleased to announce yet another free remix for y'all. This time London's Voodoo Trombone Quartet get the treatment - I'd like to think I've turned the original laid back ska into something a bit, erm, orbitalesque in places. Those of you who know Madonna will know exactly which remix I'm talking about, but it was completely unintentional. Honest. Anyway ... go and buy their new album ".... again". It is ace.

Working on some more remixes just now ... but please contact me know if you are in a band or an artist that would possibly be interested in a remix!

Here's some explanation from Paul VTQ himself about the band ...

A'ight, Robot.

Just a quickie ....

Why So Serious ?

And here's the next remix for y'all. This is a more breaks / old skool influenced version of the original mix up that has the Beastie Boys meeting Franz Ferdinand somewhere in a festival field. Their official website is here.

Download The Anomalies - Margarita (Dunproofin's Mojito Remix)

The single proper is on sale on June 1st - as soon as I have more details I'll post them up but you can get a good idea of the single from this review courtesy of Culturedeluxe.com or the live video down below. Meantime, I'd urge you to go buy their marvellous album, Free Social Soup, from either Amazon, Play.com or HMV. Seriously - it's really very good indeed.

I Want To Be A Part Of It

Well, this is something I've been waiting to post about for sometime. Glad to tell y'all can now go to many places to purchase the Streetlab - NY Sound (Dunproofin's UK Sound Remix). You can also listen to previews of all the track's remixes on i-tunes, napster, amazon.com, rhapsody or e-music. Or you can download the extended remix (not on the EP) for free, gratis, nowt, below.

Hopefully I'll have some more news shortly, but I'm always looking for interesting additional commissions ... just contact me know if you are interested !
