It always seems to be when I'm preparing software releases that certain tunes flutter in to my mind; today it's Joy Orbison's remix of Love Cry by Four Tet. The original is good but there's something about this remix which I adore. So without further interruption get your lugs around this one and wang it up nice and loud:

Four Tet - Love Cry (Joy Orbison Remix)

Checking and double checking everything for tonight's production release. All the prep looks good so far, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.

So while I have a minute here's today's song for the day:  Deep bass, beautiful vocals, beats to die for and in a weird time signature to boot.

Lamb - Lusty

Today's song for the day, and a rather calming video to accompany it:

Hello all,

The lovely Straylings have been put forward to play the Green Man Festival, the organisers of the festival are holding a competition where by the band who gets the most votes gets to open the festival.

This would be a great opportunity for dem Straylings so they need as many votes as we can muster. If you can spare just 1 minute to register (only 4 boxes!) at the link below they would really appreciate it (the answer you'll need is Jarvis Cocker!).

http://www.thegreenmanfestival.co.uk/greenpoll/user/register?r=1

After you're done just search for Straylings and click on the vote button (votes can be made every day by the way!).

Cheers people!

Heard this for the first time today on the Radio whilst driving back from St Pancras, I'm absolutely captivated by it. The track gently pulses away building and again dimishing as it goes, the production is top notch too and gives the tune a subdued but purposeful feeling. Stick the smooth and slightly chilling vocal in to the mix and the result is an absolute beauty.

I just wish I knew what the synth they used was, it sounds incredible and clearly has a great filter in it.

Top video too:

I'm a little behind on my hospital podcast listening and have only just got around to podcast 79, it's a splendid edition and features Mistabishi throughout.

The second track on the podcast is 'Raw Organic' by Your Infamous Harp (incorrectly referenced in the podcast meta-data as 'The Infamous harp'). The album from which this track is taken is called 'prah suomafni ruoy', it is absolutely brilliant and is probably best described as a kind meld of electro folky glitch beats, it's well worth getting hold of.

The album is sold on a donation model so you can pay what you for it, you can get it from Your Infamous Harp's website. Get your copy now, you won't regret it!
