Further proof that I am in fact, clairvoyant. Although I thought that every time I listened to a Compuphonic mix, which was a LOT, so it was bound to happen one day.

Stream Tiga's latest 6 Music show

"Let's try some atonal mixing.. It takes a real man to mix out of key"

As usual, Tiga's 2 hour BBC 6 music mix is pretty banging. Sadly, Tiga resolves to talk less this show, although the letter he reads from his future self gets pretty deep. Most importantly the tunes remain whopper. Tracks from Justice, Duke Dumont (including an excellent Tiga remix of 'The Giver'), Four Tet, Daniel Avery, Hot Chip, that awesome Talabot / Pional remix of Chained by The XX, and as usual some great tracks by artists I've never heard of before. Of particular note is the track 'De La Cabeza' by DJs Pareja on the Comeme label at around the 1'05" mark.

Justice - Helix (Gesaffelstein Vocal Remix)

Foals new tune 'My Number'


This song is my current new obsession. The official video is amazing, all trippy and high energy, and the people in it are all fans the band invited down on the day. On repeat, no sign of stopping.



This is a live version they recorded at Abbey Road, without the video interruptions:



P.S. This video is a beautiful cover version Foals did of Tears For Fears 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' that my friend Oisin showed me yesterday. It's really gorgeous:



Foals are playing The Academy on Friday March 1st. Get tickets here.
Their new album 'Holy Fire' is out February 11th - more info and preorder here.

Breakbot mini mix - DJ set at Le Mouv'


I found a Breakbot remix from 2010 that I hadn't heard before and it led me to this set from a French radio station (I think) called Le Mouv'. It's 30 minutes of Breakbot disco-pop buzz with tunes from Kindness, Tensnake, Roy Ayers and The Swiss (see below):

.
Also on that page is a live version of my favourite Breakbot tune, 'Baby I'm Yours' with just Irfane singing to Breakbot's keyboard. I got an acute case of Dreamboat-itis just listening to it twice in a row so be careful:

Okimi's portraits


For $50 you can get your profile portrait done with an animal of your choice on your shoulder by Japanese illustrator Okimi. If I had a pet or even a spirit guide I'd be all over this. One of those guys chose a cat with 3-D glasses, definite spirit guide territory. Last day to order is March 31st 2013.

Prince accepting awards at the AMAs 1985

Prince being a stone cold badass as he wins Best Black Single, Best Black Album and Best Pop Album in the 1985 American Music Awards. Yes, it was that racist. Bonus points for Huey Lewis and Madonna's awkward presentation exchange, Lionel Richie's jackets and the absolute amazingness of The Revolution. Haven't seen style like that since the video for Midas Touch. I was also a few views up when I noticed Prince is carrying a single rose with him on his first trip to the podium. Hero.



I always thought that Dave Chapelle clip where Prince and the Revolution challenge Charlie Murphy and his friends to a basketball match would be exaggerated for comedy's sake. But having watched them at the awards, it seems entirely plausible.




P.S.
Prince and The Revolution performed 'Purple Rain' at the awards, click here to check it out.
