New Releases

Gorillaz
Tomorrow Comes Today
EMI

Originally the cartoon outfit's very first single, Tomorrow Comes Today gets a re-release in the wake of Gorillaz' phenomenal success. The song is driven by a sparse and shadowy dub groove, heavy on the bass, while Damon Albarn delivers one of his more reflective lyrics.

The White Stripes
Fell In Love With A Girl
XL

This is arguably the most immediate gem from the Detroit-based siblings' current, globally-acclaimed White Blood Cells album. Fell In Love With A Girl is a stripped-down garage punk workout to savour.

Richie Hawtin
DE9: Closer To The Edit
Mute

This double A-side has been taken from Hawtin's current mix album of the same name. Both tracks are actually pretty unrecognisable reworkings of Hawtin's own tracks Freek'd and Range'd.

Oscar G And Stryke
Hypnotised
Hooj Choons
Hypnotised offers a veritable variety pack of mixes. First off, there's a pumping Dubby Vocal Mix from Red Cherry, with a wonderful, escalating riff that seems to reach out to the heavens, followed by a sweeter, Latin-infused house mix from Charles Webster.
Sharam Jey offers a harder house stance with his Tuffunk Mix, while Oscar G gets tribal on Tabatha Byng's vocals with his Space Miami Mix. Something for all corners of the dance world.
