Work U Out
A stunning, opulent mix from dapper London gent Sam Butler, ‘The Workout’ features cuts from Claro Intelecto, D5 and Kenny Larkin, as well as a jaw-dropping centre-piece in the form of Orlando Voorn’s sullen and balmy ‘Power Of Beauty’. Techno and house music to kick you on through the snow and out the other side - tracklist after the fold.

2OO8 ≠ 32

It’s hard not to feel berk or beast when attempting to cram 12 months into 700 words, so we won’t even try. This late in the day there’s going to be omission to an extent that outstretches the impatient collateral of memory loss, especially as the mind wanders back to recall a year of live music that’s without peer in my 23 on this earth.
So, there’ll be no divvying up of 2008 between movements and moods here. Just a necessary trawl through the shipwreck, flotsam fished from choppy waters and beacon buoys twinkling in the ocean of our terrible collective memory.

Jackin’
No Pain In Pop is proud to present a mix from London’s Sam Butler. Words from Butler below and a track list after the jump.
“On a distant planet in the jacking zone Fingers Inc. have been displaying another side of house music since before anyone knew there was one.” Simon Witter (NME, 1988).
It’s a bit galling when the best record you’ve heard in ages is from someone who’s been around for over 20 years. But Larry Heard’s new 12” on Alleviated is immense. Tangerine Dream Italo vibes all the way.
In this mix, the record that sums it all up is ‘Inside My Head’. I can’t think of a track more loud, visceral and jacking. Nevermind Mr Heard’s claim, “Jack means nothing to me”.
You can stick Alex O Smith on a list of buy-on-site producers - right next to John Daly, Newworldaquarium and MoveD - who continue to display another side of house.
