The single for ‘U Can Dance’ is due to drop early next month, with remixes by Detroit techno legend Carl Craig (already floating around the Internet), London’s electro super-duo Simian Mobile Disco as well as DFA producer Tim Goldsworthy bringing that New York dirty disco vibe, I assume.

The song features unreleased vocals from Roxy Music’s frontman Bryan Ferry and the video is a nod to the glamorous girls that used to grace the covers of Roxy Music albums.
It was directed by Jo Apps of Simian Mobile Disco’s ‘Audacity Of Huge‘ and styled by Nova Dando, stylist for UK pop sensation La Roux.

‘U Can Dance’ is already out on DJ Hell’s double album ‘Teufelwerk’ (german for ‘Devil’s Work’).

Alice in Wonderland – part 2
Alice in Wonderland – part 3

This one is for my friend Renata who, from what I understand, is confined to her bed for a couple of weeks. Cartoons from the home land (1981) which, unlike myself, she’ll hopefully be able to understand. Get better fast!

Jesus Walk

This is almost making me like D&B and Church. Also, notice how the Blacks are having mystic trances in style while the white dudes just jump up and down, run around and throw themselves on the floor. That’s not not dancing, you crackers!
These videos have been around but I just don’t get tired of them. More here.

Watch your (dub)step

2562‘s gloomy, minimal dubstep is on heavy rotation in the sweet fix penthouse champagne room. The models and I strongly suggest you check out his 2009 release Unbalance on Tectonic Records. (I know… Tectonic Records… what were they thinking..?)
