CFCF New Album + 2 Covers for Download
After releasing his Panesian Nights and The Explorers EPs earlier this year to much acclaim from both critics and dance floors, CFCF is unleashing his highly anticipated debut album, Continent, on Paper Bag Recordings.
CFCF:
"For the songs on this album I usually started with an idea in mind of a specific atmosphere I wanted to convey. That atmosphere, whether it was something hazy, nostalgic, otherworldly or unsettling, was always the first thing to come to a track. The songs range from mid-tempo nu-disco to balearic, house to ambient. Often the basis of the atmosphere was culled from films by Werner Herzog, Michael Mann, David Lynch, and David Cronenberg as well as countless musical influences including Arthur Russell, Saint Etienne, and Tangerine Dream."
He's also been good enough to give away two cover versions, one of which, a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love", features on the album. You can buy Continent here.

Walk Me Home
Dayve Hawk seemingly doesn't take breaks - his output over the last 6 months putting him up there with the most prolific (non-rap) artists of the year. Better yet, the quality isn't subsiding either. "Walk Me Home" expertly weaves together strands of disco, early techno, krauty ambience and seasonal spookiness into a 6 minute mix of sorts. Also, apparently he has a twitter page, so get following.

Memory Tapes - Treeship
Apparently the "Seek Magic" vinyl has been slightly delayed, so to keep us satiated in the meantime, the We're Tapes blog has released "Treeship", a 20 minute selection of new instrumentals from Memory Tapes which originally featured on CD2 of the "Seek Magic" CD release. Needless to say, it's fairly stunning.

Flic En Flac
Been seeing this guy's name pop up left and right recently, but it took hearing "Flic En Flac" for us to jump directly on Nottingham-based, Geiom's bandwagon. With British bass and European synth-progginess on display in equal measures and a practically indecipherable swing, "Flic En Flac" will work as well in a club as it will in your living room on a Sunday morning and it's not often you can say that.

Apache Beat - Your Powers Are Magic (Boy Crisis Remix)
A drugged out refrain for your Saturday morning. Let the soaring vocals and ambient synths sooth your soul while you eat your cornflakes. Also, is that Armando Ianucci on the bottom right? Ignore us...
