That Doldrum Joy Sound
Peter O’Grady’s last mix - recorded for us under the Vitamin Club guise he shares with the infamous Impey - was a stunner, no rowing, and since then PO’G’s been played ‘out’ on Gilles Peterson’s Radio 1 show and at the end of this, the mix put together by Ben UFO of the mighty Hessle Audio to promote the label’s takeover of Fabric. Back now as Joy Orbison, Pete’s strung something to top nearly all the mixes I’ve heard this year; DLDRMS001 celebrating the imminent launch of his DOLDRUMS label (the lobster guards the flag). To these ears, the choicest cuts come with Karizma’s ‘Drumz Nightmare’, Martyn’s refit of Efdemin’s ‘Acid Bells’ and new Joy Orbison track ‘Tentative Bidding’ as well as, of course, Joy Orb’s monumental closer ‘Hyph Mngo’, due for release at some point in the near future through Scuba’s Hot Flush imprint. UK Funky, 2-Step, post-Dubstep sounds - it’s all gilded, all fresh, all sharp and completely on point, with a skip to evade the most fearsome of thugstep bores… DOLDRUMS in the mix, with a lurker intent; tracklist after the fold.

Nxrth Sea Pearls
With Ariel and Geneva playing pop pretenders from underneath their duvets, Pearl Harbour want you down, down on the beach, where Nite Jewel’s alt-disco pebbles are being kicked around by the oily surf, Skylar K and Piper K’s drifting coastal hooks digging in deeper for their kaleidoscopic wash. You might have caught wind, but we’re proud to be putting the Nite Jewel record out over on these shores in the next couple of months; more over this way. In the meantime come get sunburnt, sea-stained.
MP3: Pearl Harbour - Sunburn
MP3: Pearl Harbour - Vapor Girls
Shrapnel Tears
More summer jams for your flannel fraternity. Best Coast are from California. Finally Punk are from California. One has sunstroke, the other’s continuously stubbing its toe. Apply both to bothersome sores.
MP3: Best Coast - In My Room (Demo)
MP3: Finally Punk - What The Fuck, Missile?
