Hey — so here’s a few recent additions to my favourites playlist:

Ronan Fitzgerald posted this great new Carl Craig remix:

Faze Action - In the Trees (Carl Craig Remix)

Carl Craig’s been making an interesting sound recently — this one really reminds me of his amazing remix of Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom’s Relevee from a couple of years back. It’s already showing up on pretty much every podcast I’ve downloaded in the last week — such as Joakim’s nifty Resident Advisor set last month.

At a much poppier end of things:

Groove Armada - Out of Control (Song 4 Mutya)

Mutya, ex-Sugababes! As Popjustice says

What you don’t really get a sense of from the 45-second clip is the way the song unfolds over the course of its four-minute duration. (The last sixty seconds are almost completely instrumental, for example, and make perfect sense.) Nor do you get some of the cute verse lyrics, like this one: “She’s got that girlie style you said you hated and you said was vile - that ‘look at me, I’m so vacant’ smile. I guess you like it now, huh?” Like we said the other day, you only get about three completely standout, utterly of-their-time pop songs each year, and this is one of them.

Reminder: !!! are playing next Saturday week — Paddy’s Day. Given that timing, I probably won’t be going, but here’s a great tune from their new album anyway ;)

!!! - A New Name

In case you’ve noticed — I’m posting under my own user ID. The whole “undersea” thing was causing confusion I think, esp since this is a group blog, and having one member posting using the name of the group was a bit confusing…
