#25: Recent Decents

Right the sun's out in Manchester, and hopefully where you're ready this as well. Here's a quick round up of some goodies rocking the Shoplifters stereo - some old, mostly new, all well worth your attention.

Let us know which you love and hate. It's good to talk...

First up it's the Stevie-Nicks-reincarnate greatness of Ladyhawke. Watched the Camden Crawl wet themselves over her last month and this Van She remix takes things to another level. Quality.

Also on the XX chromosome theme, there's a tasty Kylie remix of 'Heart Beat Rock' doing the rounds featuring a fruity insert from Spank Rock. Good beat, but sounds familiar. Anyone?

And, despite posting about this tune before, this week it's more than likely to top the pop charts today in the UK and, crucially, it's not a pile of shit. An achievement I'm sure you'll agree... The Burns remix of Wiley's smash smooths things out with some nice Parisian synth work.

The hugely underrated Infadels return with a new LP 'Universe In Reverse' two years after their debut. The second single from the album is going to be 'Free Things For Poor People' (June 23, Wall Of Sound) and there's some great remixes including this one from Alex Metric. Designed to be played loud.

And finally one of the godfathers of shameless guilty pleasure bootlegging, Go Home Productions, releases an album 'Spliced Krispies' this month. In his own words, "This album was conceived and created during April 2008. It basically came about after I needed a break from writing / recording original tracks for the 'Kamikaze Runway' album...

"Must admit that I had a lot of fun putting this together. No limitations or pandering to artists / record labels desires, just went headfirst into screwing around with some favourite songs and seeing what turned up."
