On the day that Swedish House Mafia have announced details of enormo-gigs at Madison Square Gardens and the Milton Keynes Bowl, our attention is focused more on their countrymen Drop Out Orchestra who have just revealed details of their next single ‘Ego‘ and most excitingly of all are set to play their debut london gig this coming weekend.
Regulars readers of the Fringe will already be well aware of DOO seeing as we’ve featured them around a million times (not to mention releasing their insanely good 12 minute :Kinema: remix on vinyl earlier this year). Well thankfully it seems the world at large is now waking up to the magnificence of our Scandinavian friends, with their remixes cropping up on more and more big name releases and we can safely predict that by 2012 they will almost certainly be announcing their own stadium sized shows.
Anyway ‘Ego‘ is, as we’ve come to expect, another sublime slice of rubbery bassed disco funk and best of all is available from today via Juno, complete with remixes from Black Strobe, Tronik Youth, Second Date and Lou Teti. Bingo! Wrap your ears around Drop Out’s own edit available below and then go catch Drop Out Orchestra playing at the following venues over the next month or so…
