Everyone seems to be going on about the Big Pink these days.  Though, if Iwas compaing band with ‘pink’ in their name, I’d say 80’s ‘Kissing the Pink’ are the best hands down. Ok, their trying to sound a little like Depeche Mode, but you can’t deny these two classics. Two perfect pieces of synthy and  nu-wavey perfection.

Quite a creepy track here with an awesomely unnerving guitar solo from one of the pioneers of early industrial/new wave, Fad Gadget (Francis John Tovey). If you like this check out Beats in Space 482 pronto!

Yello are a popular Swiss electronic band consisting of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. They are probably best known for this single “Oh Yeah”, which needs no introduction. It was one of the pioneering tunes that featured a rich mix of electronic music and manipulated vocals. The song became famous after being featured in the American movies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Secret of My Success, and more recently Soul Plane. The song is the theme for Duffman on The Simpsons.

This is a bass heavy rework that always goes down well through a massive soundsystem.  A couple of years ago, when playing a big set, I would start a set with the same three tunes…this… then mix in Feldah and Koba- Is Klar (Pan-Pot remix) into Theo Parrish- Falling up (carl craig remix)!  Always worked well!!
