The Monkey Clap’s Last Post of 2008

As of this moment, there have been 2100 clicks in  the space of 3 months. I am very happy with the statistics, but most of all, I’ve been really stoked at having the opportunity [...]

Pet Shop Kids

Always trust the veteran who’ve been away from sometime coz they’d always be back with the real shit. The synth pop mix is pure disco, while the abstrakt mix is an incredible mindfuck. Named aptly I’d say.

They’re Back!

Remember the guys who brought you “What else is there” and “poor leno”? These Norwegian giants would be back soon after releasing their latest song “Happy Birthday” on their new website which is seeming under construction.

Pocket Piano

Ed Rec Vol. 3’s been out pretty long now but the awesome remixes of Mehdi’s “Pocket Piano” had only just surfaced recently. I’m talking bout the long build-upper by Brodinski and this incredible one by Joakim that just kicks you back into trippy sci-fi camper tv shows from the early 90s. Erol Alkan played this [...]

Recently there’s a host of incredible remixes, I bring you two of [...]

They Never Die!!!

New Evil Nine gets me very very excited! Remember these guys? Fabric residents and champions of the breakbeat genre in the early 2000s. They were known to be the more experimental ones amongst the other nu-skool breakbeaters and it seems like after the death of the genre, they’ve fallen out of the radar. Good thing [...]
