PLAYOUT 011EP

"Estupendo, a catchy little number with hints of '80s synthpop, including a chorus that's equally catchy as breezy and a stupendously addictive hook (see what we did there?) that sounds like a pastel tinted rival to MGMT's 'Electric Feel.' Next to the album version there's three different mixes on offer: young Belgian producer Compuphonic stretches the original into a dubby, synth heavy electro-house trip that criss-crosses between glitzy melancholy and restraint euphoria. Brazilian button pusher Gui Boratto, of Kompakt fame, keeps most of the vocals (courtesy of Scott Mason from Chicago indie-popsters Office) intact and performs his trademark minimalistic, feverish bleeps for a bouncy yet easygoing makeover. Kid Gloves (or the joined forces of Freelance Hellraiser's Roy Kerr and Anu Pillai of Freeform Five) recently chopped up tunes for Ladyhawke, Santigold and Riosin Murphy -- here they add some Afrobeat flavour to a deep house mix before letting it drift off into frantic territory for a Nathan Fake-ish finale. Pretty intense stuff!"

PLAYOUT 008LTD

Second of 2 EPs, featuring remixes by The Glimmers, Mayaku, and Jon daSilva. Cover version of "Death Disco?" Nope, it's actually supposed to be "a live cover track of Public Image Ltd's. 'Fodderstompf' by Belgian cult band, Arbeid Adelt." I don't think that's correct either, but shouldn't one be able to recognize a bass line in a PiL cover, wtf? "Play Out! Music commissioned five prominent musical achievers to take on these tribute remixes. Released on two separate vinyls!"
