October 2008: After our epic last mix we wanted to do something quick and dirty for the club. All live on just two 12s, this is half an hour of huge bass, rattly breakbeats and daft bleep. Floor Hype!
- Midnight Request Line (Hot Chip mix) - Skream
Wicked re-rub which keeps all the grimy, digital weirdness of Skream's original but adds tribal percussion and a 4/4 kick. The complete opposite of the Switch mix on the flip. - Kalemba (Hot Chip mix) - Buraka Som Sistema
More 'Chip on the Greco-Roman tip. Buraka Som Sistema get painted with dayglo synths on top of a bubbling b-line. It's beautiful how this drops back into it's groove after the breakdown. - Who's Afraid of Rio? - Daniel Haaksman
Total club dirt from the head of Germany's MAN Recordings. You're dirt, Haaksman. Dirt! - Midnight Stalker - Drums of Death
Honking synths and and heart-stopping strings on this queasy/uneasy creeper. - Crimewave (Sinden mix) - Crystal Castles Vs Health
Usually we can take or leave Sinden 'cos loads of his stuff really blunt, but this is realy nicely done. - Township Funk - Mujava
More rattly, wobbly club business. It's great this got licensed by Warp cos it's got LFO/Tricky Disco all over it. - Im Nin Alu - (Scottie B mix) - Ofra Haza
Sparse-as-you-like club cut-up of Ofra Haza's 80s original on Money Studies. - Who's The Badman? - Dee Patten
Massive appache break and skanking bassline make for a total killer on Leftfields Hard Hands. 1992-style. - Breathe - Drums
More caustic, electro wallop for the floor from Greco-Roman.

August 2008: British Males are fretful about your nocturnals. Recorded live on two 1200s and a mixer then smeared with effects and samples, this veers woozily between wonky hip-hop and hard funk, as 4/4 ecstasy music bumps, bumps, bumps, bumps ...
- Intro
- Bonus Beat / Dance Floor Stalker (edit) Flying Lotus
Two gorgeously skewed future funk pulses from FlyLo's debut Reset EP. The second is a chopped and looped edit of the intro because the drop-bass was so nice we had to hear it again and again. - Oops Hud Mo
Tweet's innocent pop smut vocal rides burbling electro-bass on Hudson Mohawke's R&B fix-up. - Get Dirty Dabrye
AG's verses roll out every rap clichι in the book, but this succeeds through sheer exuberance. - Woo Hah (remix) Busta Rhymes
Busta's vocal creeps in over the depth charge bass from Richie Hawtin's re-rub of an old Mo'Wax tune. - "The gods are fucking you."
- Theme From Don Kalyanji Anandji
Heavy Indian soundtrack funk on this more!-more!-more! orchestral extravaganza. - I Just Want To Celebrate Rare Earth
A joyous celebration of not being dead from Motown's least famous act. - Good Morning Judge (Mock & Toof mix) 10cc
Listening to four permed, prog twats extol the joys of prison life must have really fucked you off in you were in chokey during the late seventies. Mock + Toof find the funk in the junk. - Freak Out / Starry Eyes LCD Soundsystem
A massive loping groove on this crazily overlooked B-side to All My Friends. There are so many wonderful things about this record, not least James Murphy's funk-inspired Tourette's during the 2 minute drum solo. "Good god!" - Crockett's Theme Jan Hammer
Block out the mental pictures it conjures and immerse yourself in this languorous synth workout. - The Jag The Micronauts
Take the elements of a mid-nineties Italo-house scream up - a 4/4 kick drum and diva vocal - and s-l-o-w it down to make a grinding, rushing electro monster. Total drug music. - Hot Like We Ce'cile
We'd been after this tune for ages when we finally emailed Ce'cile's website. Two copies arrived in the post direct from Delicious Vinyl by order of the Bad Gyal herself. Big Up Ce'cile! Typically deadly electro-dancehall production from South Rakkas Crew. - Une Bande De Mec Sampas TTC
Modeselektor man the buttons for this dayglo Euro-crunker vocalled by the French rap mentals. - Time After Time (808 mix) Cyndi Lauper
Modeselektor man the buttons for this dayglo Euro-crunker vocalled by the French rap mentals. - Revox (Justin Martin remix) Tim Green
The A-side is no slouch, but it's Martin's sublime remix that makes this one of the 12"s of the year. - Don't Hide It Alexkid
A you-done-me-wrong castration anthem sitting atop a bubbling acid line that breaks into a full on 303 assault. We've been waiting to use this since hearing it on Weatherall's Fabric mix. - Bahia Italoboyz
John Coltrane's original gets looped to fuck complete with a wrong-footing tempo shift half way through. - The Book (Hardback dub) Salt City Orchestra
One of our favourite tunes since it came out in 1994, this was the first and best - record to come out on Miles Holloway and Elliot Eastwick's Paper Recordings. The dub is classic NY wild pitch with a Mancunian sense of humour. Beautiful outro, too.
