Daft Punk’s Bangalter scored the dark and disturbing film ‘Irreversible’ with great effect. This is one of the stand out segments from the the soundtrack. ‘Paris by Night’, slow nu-disco beats inspired by the revenge of a brutal rape, this is as sinister as they come.

We have the reel master serving up a couple of slick, friendly edits/mashes. First up some classic hip hop from Dubble D and Rakim… although it has been sampled to death, you gotta love some of the old school scratch sampling…always fresh!

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, a British band in ze 80s(79-88) that make some swish synth pop. Talking Loud and Clear is a great track to start on considering we are yet to put any OMD up, will have to sort this out with some more classics. Word of advice, this tune doesn’t always go down to well- (when i have played it out that is), have seen Tiefschwarz play this on a couple of occasions as their “quirky” last tune!

Another old school cocoon banger here from Deetron, pioneered by the likes of Sven Vath and Switch in 2005 making this a club classic. Recently it has made a resurgance in the disco field, only the temp is slowed from the original 130bpm to somewhere around 118. ‘Isotope’ is so melodic it hurts, with an arpeggiated synth just building and building- then an offset bass-line kicks in and everything goes off! Tonnes of 909 action and no need for more cowbell.

The Comsat Angels were a post-punk band from Sheffield, England, active from 1978 to 1995. Their music has been described as “abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache.”
A great tune played by Tensnake in his recent BIS mix, “I’m Falling” was also featured in the movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer. Awesome jerky 80s pop, it even has some panpipes!

This is one of my favorite releases this year, tis a proper chugger!
As the full pupp crew put it…”Welcome back Diskjokke to the motherpupp after a successful run of releases on Smalltown Supersound and Kindisch. 2008 was a hectic year for Joachim, putting together his live band, doing remixes for Metronomy, Foals and Lykke Li to name a few and spreading melodic, trance-inducing feel good disko gospel around the world. “Asa Nisi Masa” has been causing much mayhem the last 12 months, even causing girls to offer me services I won’t mention here. Wibbly wobbly arpeggios massaging your buttocks. Very, very rude indeed as already showcased on the Full Pupp/Greatest Tits Compilation, “Cearadactylus” is definitely a different kind of beast. Slow and chugging along at a tempo even fit for dinosaurs.”

Some party italo to brighten up the weekend, this tune sounds so familiar I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a them tune to some 80s cop drama. This 12″ always crops up in the big names boxes, definitely worth having a copy!

The prodigal child from Detroit kicked off his DJ career at the age of 15, DJing with his fellow Detroit legends. This track from his 2006 album released on Warp, identified as one of the highlights, is best described as a “Pac Man-esque melody set against classic haunting strings plucked straight from Motor City.” Jerky Goodness!
