Lots – HEAPS – of new stuff to get through tonight, a veritable cornucopia. We start with a new Steve Reich remix for 2006, and hopefully I’ll get to a second one later on, both from a new 12″. Two remixes from Tunng feature, both great, and from one of the remixees, Department of Eagles, we also have a couple of stunningly gorgeous new tunes from their MySpace page.
We have new classical-sampling electronica from Herv, as well as The Last Sound also on Herv’s new Go Away Recordings. Some great new sounds from Planet µ; the long-awaited new Ensemble album is out; and it’s great to have ollo‘s new album in hand (out soon!).
Meanwhile I’m catching up with the new Yo La Tengo (some excellent stuff there) and Xiu Xiu (amazing last track from their new album)… Plus there’s actually much more, so check out the playlist below!
