some ace new electro before I head off

Gotta catch a plane to Poland in a few hours, but there's just enough time to get these babies out there.

Super blog favourite Seams has a new single out Focus Energy b/w Motive order.

Focus Energy/Motive Order by seams

Obviously everyone knows that originally Focus Energy was a pokemon battle move which was a completely pointless waste of time, much like Magikarp's Splash attack.
And if you didn't know that, then you do now.
Luckily Seams' Focus Energy isn't anything even slightly resembling a waste of time. Moving on from his last EP Tourist Seams aka James Welch has taken on a more techno sound making his tunes even more danceable.

D/R/U/G/S not busy enough playing at Glastonbury has whipped out a solid gold remix of Lykke Li's Sadness is a Blessing (seems everyone's doing it)
(mp3)

Dam Mantle's getting ready for his WE EP release later this month with this tune Not a Word
It sounds like a dubstep children's rhyme.

Gold Panda - MPB

I keep repeating myself saying that "This-or-that artist, whose album this-or-that from last year was MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE album of the year, has now released a new track."
The way things are going it seems I've got loads of favourite albums of last year and they're all releasing new tunes.
Seeing as I didn't do an end of the year top-list you'll just have to take my word for it.

Anyway here I go again: Gold Panda whose album Lucky Shiner from last year was (one of) MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE album(s) of the year, has now released a new track MPB (mp3).

MPB is basically just Gold Panda giving a xylophone a good hiding backed with a banging beat. Simple, but with astonishing results when done properly.

And just for good measure let's post his remix of Lykke Li's Sadness is Blessing, just because it's ace. Oh and because as everyone obviously knows, sadness IS a blessing.

Alas I shall be leaving you wonderful readers for a few days as it's midsummer in Finland and midsummer over here is yet another great reason to get completely shit-faced for three days (like you need an excuse). So in true Finnish spirit I'm either going to pass out in a sauna and wither away, crash my non-existant car into a moose or simply drown after trying to piss over the side of a boat. Looking at statistics it seems like whatever I do, I'll probably die.

So hey! Happy midsummer people.
