high pressure days - april 10

Published: April 4, 2010, 7:05 p.m.

b'Here\\u2019s a hour of indie-funk and nu disco for butt-wigglin\\u2019 through the Easter break. Dont\\u2019 be put off if you were hoping for some house tunes.... you\\u2019ll love this :-) It\\u2019s one of two sessions I\\u2019ve had on the backburner for a while, hence the tunes being cherry-picked from the past year or so. This mix is quite upbeat, there\\u2019s another to come that\\u2019s deeper and more spaced out.

We start with Beth Ditto\\u2019s reflective vocal on Cruel Intentions, cut up here by The Edit Master himself, Greg Wilson. LCD Soundsystem take us into orbit with Padded Cell\\u2019s funk-chugging take on 45:33. Other highlights include a spacey disco groove by Curses!, a Crazy P track dropped by Unabombers at Big Chill 09, electronic disco from Lifelike, Chris Menace and even the Pet Shop Boys beefed up by Trentem\\xf8ller.

And of course, two iPod favourites of last month: the best track from New Young Pony Club\\u2019s slightly disappointing second album, and the Talking-Heads-on-M-Kat ripper, High Pressure Days by The Units, a top track I discovered on a Mixmag covermount CD mixed by Mylo. Enjoy!
