Wordola people. Little bit of a break from the shackles of the typewriter but we're back and repping. Here's summat fresh from GRUM, a mad young man from Leeds who sounds like he's been licking Daft Punk records and watching Tron on repeat.
He's been banging round the blogs for a while and now Zane Lowe has done a sex wee on him and baptised the man in name of Radio 1.
So there you have it. I'm slower than the Lowe. But honestly I've been repping him for time. Check his No Love Lost Records mixtape here. It was a soundtrack to us accidentally smashing up our flat when we first moved to the smoke last October. Plus someone's put together this ridiculous video to accompany GRUM's debut single, Runaway. It's a weird soft porn Thriller-esque vid feat. a Dan Ackroyd look alike getting fresh with some ladies. Er serious...

Blood red freewheeling
I'm backed up with verbalisations to smack all over this webpage. While I collect my thoughts, get the thread straight and rearrange my pants here's summat that's slightly old but still sounds as fresh as a lovely new day.
Aeroplane are doing the bizness right now and this is it. Even better is the 12 inch which comes in blood red. Plus the middle of the record is a close up of the cartoon Sebastian Tellier's crotch. I'm not sure he's sex on a stick so this is one for the ladies with the feted mind and the sunglasses.
Well worth checking is this month's Mixmag cd as Aeroplane are at the helm. It's called Disco Balearia. Plus this is pretty gold too and is offa another mixmag cd. Although the magazine is officially the biggest pile of dogshit money can buy.

Coma - Embargo (Allez Allez remix)
Coma? Embargo? Allez Allez? Firm? All sound faintly anonymous, a bit electronic and a little German. Firm are a label based in Cologne who are very matey with Kompakt.
Allez Allez have a wicked blog where they you could drown yerself in the mass of music it packs.
Many names but most importantly this tune is the bomb.

We Wear The Gold
Sheffield club nights C90 and Rough Disko have been dilly-dallying for time, attempting to outdrink and outnerd each other via arm wrestles, epic binges, meat eating competitions and heated debates on the pros and cons of Dj Funk and whether his wardrobe is too fresh.
So it’s no surprise that after all this flirting, the pair of floozies have decided to jump into bed with each other, have a frig and tumble and show the world the resulting mess they made. Out of the shadows comes We Wear The Gold, an evening of booty and bass. This is what these cretins listen to when no one else is watching. The first one is Friday March 27th at the Stockroom in Sheffield. Check it.
Even better they’ve put together a pair of mixtapes to showcase what flex they’re saying. Noisy stupid club music.
The first one from the Gag Reflex is you can download here. The mysterious Derek Tibbs' masterwork can be found here. Get on these free loads.
Rob Da Bank
Typewriter out. Trousers on. Here's a link to a Rob Da Bank compilation review which I cracked out yonks ago for Fact magazine. They put it up on their website recently and it’s even graced the pages of the seasonal hard copy of the publication. I’d like to do more of this stuff but I’m too busy doing a job where I have to produce news stories on Slovakian politics and savings accounts.

Tirk 02
Props to go out to Tirk records here. They’re on the verge of releasing their Tirk 02 compilation, and deserve a bit of kudos. licks and affection.
They’ve put out some right records and artists yet no one appears to have shout their corner too much. Full time stoner, New York ex-pat now Sheffeel disco freak Maurice Fulton makes records for them as does Eric Hedford, one time drummer of the Dandy Warhols, now purveyor of wobbly punk funk.
Throw in Sugar Daddy, Greg Wilson and electronic crooner Louie Austen (Check 'Grab my Shaft' for the steeze) and they're hotter than hot and worthy of respect.
Check my witterings on the new compilation here.

Can I have an Ashtray?
Not sure what the blog etiquette is on posting consecutive posts on the same topic. Anyhoo here's a demonstration of giving the 'rules' a good fuckin over. This Alexander Robotnick tune is so hot (accompanied by another amazing video) that I can't resist.
