NEET (alone time with my hard drive)

There are over a million hikikomori, freeters, and NEET (not engaged in employment, education, or training) in Japan. They even have their own university!? Why isn't acute social withdrawal an acceptable option in our society? Fuck.
I just want some alone time with my hard drive.


Who knows what about Tom Vek? This track has that London indie meets French disco rave thing going HARD. I can't really say much to this, its Digitalism so you know what you're getting into. Something catchy and soaring, soaring, soaring thru 32 bit discoscapes. This time we've got some quirky yank singing as well.

Tom Vek - Nothing But Green Lights (Digitalism Remix)


While we're on that Digitalism thing, how can we not Zdarlight. This was one of my favorite songs of last year, the first thing that made me go "Kitsune, what the fuck?" Anyway, this is off Kitsune 029, the immortal Zdarlight remixes. My pick for bringing the bass to the face...

Digitalism - Zdarlight (Moonlight Remix)

Thank Kitsune with money and buy the shit

London via Brighton (by way of Devon) - METRONOMY MEGA POST

Of all the acts featured on those BALMER Maison Kitsune comps, the two that stand out to me the most are Metronomy and Digitalism. Metronomy is former rock drummer Joseph Mount, based in Brighton, who is currently dropping some razor sharp jawns, sounding sort of like Four Tet if he knew what the fuck a dance beat was. His debut album Pip Paine (Pay Back The £5000 You Owe) which came out this past summer on Holiphonic is seriously worth checking out, alternating between slower numbers like the serene "This Could Be Beautiful" (check last weeks Klaxons post) and bangers like "Trick or Treatz" that could compete with his remixes on the dancefloor

Some tastes (from Pip Paine)
Metronomy - You Could Easily Have Me
Metronomy - Trick or Treatz
Metronomy - Black Eye/Burnt Thumbs
Metronomy - This Could Be Beautiful (repost)
buy the album!

Like Digitalism but to a lesser degree, Metronomy's made a big name in the remix game. Remixing fatty UK acts like the Gorillaz and Franz "Fuckfaces" Ferdinand has hopefully been good to him. The real treatz are his Sebastian Teller and Dead Disco refits, oh shit also the sweet Infadels track Love Like Semtex, if i can find it

Dead Disco - The Treatment (metronomy remix)
Sebastian Teller - La Ritournelle (metronomy remix)
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Wanna? (metronomy remix)
Zero 7 feat. Jose Gonzales - Futures (metronomy remix)
Infadels - Love Like Semtex (metronomy remix)*
