SHEIKH YR BOOTY

A sure-to-detonate dancefloor nuke from the fantastic Spectral back catalogue. Osborne turns in an infallible remix of Håkan Lidbo's Tic-Tac Tactic, a synth and slap bubbler with a bass hook about as catchy as they come. Osborne brings the house and the heavens from inside his magic box and slides it into the Vanisher from the inside out. This is slightly different from the version I have on vinyl, I think this mp3 may have been ripped from a mixtape (which I couldn't tell you). Buy the EP (SPC-22) for the cleaner take, the original, and the amazing b-side Toothpaste.

On that new old shit tip, thanks to Juno's new reissue series, this track has been brought back to my attention. A rave bomber with a string part that will surely stand out on any dancefloor, Faze Action's In the Trees is simply classic; and if you're a stranger to the original you can now happily remedy it for 12 bucks. Plus, you get this on the flip. The man c2 puts the industry to the symphony and makes this ethereal banger crawl across grimy new ground. Chek it:

To wrap it up with that new new shit, lets turn to the new Dirty Edits, which come out today and are, as per usual, limited to 1000 copies, hand numbered. It features remixes by Krikor and Pilooski, the former taking a stab at Q Lazarus' anthem (and TRP favorite) Goodbye Horses. You know the tune, from Silence of the Lambs. Krikor's edit EQs it just right, although I'm unsure of his decision to cut the choruses. Pilooski's remix of The The is typically pure class, the man can do little wrong in my eyes at the moment. Head over to alain finkelkrautrock for more music and support them and buy their records (if you can find em, that is. Dirty 5 is here...for now!).
