Simian Mobile Disco

The increasingly hip Simian Mobile Disco have hidden the unbelievable "System" on the I Believe 12" as a lowly B-Side. This track is better than most of the ones on their debut album I am not sure why it is not even on their newest S/T EP. "System" is coupled with a Switch remix of "I Believe". I personally enjoy the -italicized? haha NO, italofied? We'll go with that- italofied Prins Thomas' remix, which is on the CD version of the single, a bit more. Both remixes have their moments and come out better than the original, but I find myself running to Prins Thomas' interpretation more often than the rough and dirty remix by Switch.

Rekids: My Brit Bleep

My favorite British label, Rekids, have put out an excellent compilation recapping their first year, which is aptly titled Rekids One. It is characterized by the overlaying of repetitive elements producing a whirling effect that encircles your mind and moves your feet. This is a fluid 2-disc offering that boasts notable remixes from Prins Thomas, Partial Arts, Claude Von Stroke, Roman Flugel, and Jesse Rose. Pick this up if you haven't done so already.
