+Watch+ Modek – Clown In My Kitchen

*Listen* Herve – Lion EP

Herve’s back with some bass.

*Listen* Fenech-Soler – In Our Blood

I was lucky enough to get sent an advance copy of the new Fenech-Soler album, Rituals, a few months back. It went straight into the car stereo (the squeakysneaker sound booth, if you like) and as I was driving around a lot at the time, it was pretty much on repeat for about four weeks. It took a while to grow on me, but in the end the purely rousing nature of the bands music won me over. There’s no bigger test of a tune, in my opinion, than if it can keep you calm when you’ve missed Junction 9 of the M52 for the second time, it’s raining and you’ve dropped your Revels in between the car seats.

‘In Our Blood’ is the next single off the album, out on November 25th through SO Recordings. Have a listen below.

*Listen* Donna Summer – Bad Girls (Boys Noize remix)

Boys Noize doesn’t seem to ‘do’ many remixes these days, so when he does we jump on it. Here’s his new club mix of Donna Summer’s ‘ 1979 single ‘Bad Girls’ for your pleasure.

*DL*RuN RiOT & Refracture – Midnight Shot

Breaks heavyweights and Squeakysneaker favourites Run Riot & Refracture got together a while ago and produced this beauty. Today they’re giving it away for nowt. Hooray!

*Listen* Joel Compass ft. Pusha T – Run

I must say, I’m surprised that Joel Compass isn’t featured more often on mainstream radio, even with the likes of Zane Lowe electing him twice now, as his ‘hottest record in the world’. Despite making the Radio 1 playlists, you’ll struggle to hear him when the sun’s up. It surprises me because the mainstream loves its R&B and this is high quality R&B from a British artist, with an exciting, contemporary sound, plus collaborator Pusha T is pretty shit hot at the moment. Maybe Joel is at the bubbling under stage now and next year his obvious talent will be erupting out of the A, rather than the B list. Hope so.
