Providing Late Night Music before the Christmas season will be Dissident’s Ali Renault this Saturday, hitting Kingsland Road with heavy disco and synthy grooves with a Nothing But Us mix in preparation. 8 till late, with Ian Pither and Wil Troup in tow.

As with most things relating to the 80s, the Picture House edit of Dazz Band’s ‘Let It Whip’ is pretty amazing if you like the funk. And well, why wouldn’t you.

For whatever reason the decision makers occupying the greyish nether regions of Yeasayer’s musical career decided Munk’s gloriously cluttered disco punk remix of “Madder Red” wasn’t worthy of a proper release.

So here it is in that full quality mp3 grade everyone desires for the cost of a click courtesy of the nice people at Gomma Records!

The award for quite possibly the most astounding combination of electronic music and the festive season you will hear this year goes to Nathan Fake whose “Xmas Rush” has just been released on DJ Koze’s Pampa imprint.

Accruing several inches of psychedelic acid mind fuck menace as it progresses, socks were figuratively blown off when the twelve inch was played repeatedly yesterday.

Getting into the festive mood Pampa have released an expanded dub version for general consumption but we recommend you indulge in the full release.

In which Pomp & Clout demonstrate how to execute a simple idea with real panache.

The newly opened Late Night Chameleon Cafe, or LNCC for fans of initials, is many things to many men (and women)

A book store. A fashion boutique stocking mens and womens clothing for the affluent Dalston dweller. A record shop dealing in rare second hand vinyl and a select range of current imprints. A nightclub. All housed in a bizarrely crafted Shacklewell Lane space which is attendable by appointment only.

Luckily for some of you they do online shopping too.

Which brings us to the news that the shop has just taken delivery of a rather neat little stocking filler in the shape of an International Feel mix CD as modeled above.

The label supposedly run out of Uruguay by the decidedly grumpy Mark from Sheffield  - who incidentally took part in a rather good interview with our own Flo Wong recently – have enjoyed a superlative year releasing richly detailed disco, balearica and cosmiche oddities from an array of talented producers including Coyote, Gatto Fritto, Harvey and Maxxi & Zeus.

An Insight Into The Mind Of .. marks the labels first foray into the mix CD market and contains an array of tracks which helped influence the overall sound of the label taking in everything from afro beat to proto house to library music.

In other words neato and a steal at ten of your English pounds.

For further insight into LNCC check out the Heads Down blog for an interview the man Tubbs did with one of the founders of LNCC.

This is the post where the twisted, chopped up inherently ahead of it’s time craziness of Siouxsie & The Banshee’s late 80′s pop oddity “Peek A Boo” gets embellished with some contemporary dance floor dynamism by Spec, the South Coast artistes formerly known as Geek Chic Soundsystem.

Ali Renault warms up for this weekends Magic Waves festival with this 40 minute mix full of vintage obsidian electro, gothic italo thump and Martian box jams under his Cestrian alias.

Which is pretty much what you can expect to hear over two days at Corsica Studios on a lineup that includes mthr fckn I-F, Arabian Prince, The Hacker, Alden Tyrell and Gatto Fritto.

The delightfully deranged Kania Tieffer is calling time on being Kania Tieffer to make music under a new name with gigs in Brussels and Paris this month the last we will see of her in this capacity – More info at her site.

We hope that her future musical endeavours retain the sonic capacity to fuck with your senses that was inhernent in every Kania Tieffer production and definitely runs through the psychotic crunch of this remix of Meanest Man Contest.

I keep getting Villa and Villa Nah mixed up, I know it’s not exactly up there with calling a senior British politician a cunt live on national radio, but still it’s the kind of thing that could be social suicide if made at one of our fruity little blogger get togethers.

Anyway the Nah-less Belgiums have recently been give n a thorough going over those lovely C90s boys, something we here at Slutty Fringe would recommend most bands try at least once in their life, and you can now download the hot mess below.

Order/pre-order the proper release here.

If Phil Collins joined Egyptian Hiphop and bullied them into making actual North African tinged throwback g funk head nodder fodder, they might sound like D’eon, whose forthcoming album Palinsopia is yet more reason to heap figurative piles of praise on the Hippos In Tanks label.

There’s a swathe of reasons to turn your nose up at the polite electronics of Zero 7.

But they have garnered some masterful remixes over the years from the likes of Madlib, Idjut Boys and Pepe Bradock AND they introduced these ears to the delight that is Matthew Herbert’s delightfully sultry house rerub of Serge Gainsbourg which featured on their Another Late Night compilation all those years ago…

I’m noted amongst close family for delving into an expletive filled rant quite suddenly about Paul McCartney one car journey a few years back.

My thoughts on McCartney can’t stop me from enjoying the inherent brilliance of this obscure cover version of Drive My Car which is has been retouched by Bim Marx for one of this year’s better edit twelve inches.
