Thirty Part Four
15 Wonder, Take Two.
One of only a few instrumentals on the boy Wonder's new long player and his second on this chart by virtue of us bumming the album an awful lot over the last few days. It's got lovely little production bits throughout, a real sense of craftsman ship and skill behind the helm. Then it just drops a messy great big bassline over the whole thing and it doesn't really matter, does it. It's fat. Like yo momma. I mean, when you play it around the house, you play it around the house.
14 Mystery Artist, Lovelight (Soulwax Ravelight Dub).
We coined the term slut wave midway through last year (as it is now) and would've raped the idea more had we stayed online. As it is, what we didn't know is that this is the song we invented the very notion of music being a dirty little whore in anticipation of. We don't care about your opinion of us, probably fifty percent of mentions we get online are negative ones, it doesn't overly phase us how people view us. However, we have to live with ourselves and sleeping at night would be harder if we gave this 'Mystery Artist' song it's true credit of Robbie Williams. However, it doesn't matter. This song isn't wearing any knickers and you know you want some, it's flirting with your best friend but giving you the eyes and you're virtually salivating. This song will give you venerial disease and it will be worth it. Something you can't ever say about Williams himself. Credit to Soulwax again. Damnit man. When did they get so good?
13 Tiga, Move My Body (Only4ErolMix).
Tiga's a good guy, we've got some of his camper early songs and they're good fun. However, we were kinda expecting him to drift into obscurity when the whole synthcore thing died down before. Turns out he had no intention of doing that at all and returns to us here after a pretty triumphant album (by all accounts), absolute stocked to the gills with sleazy beef. This one was co-produced by Soulwax (again!) and created for Erol Alkan. Couldn't be any more bleeding edge really, could it.
12 Death From Above 1979, Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT Remix).
The video for this song features a pair of breasts singing. However, it is the video for this version, the point, really, at which Death From Above 1979 became defunct as a concern and MSTRKRFT began the whole concept of Entirely Taking Over The World. Which, to their credit, they have. This is in here because it, along with their version of No Wow by The Kills, is our favourite remix of theirs and they are very much responsible for our three biggest obsessions this year; remixes; slut wave and; sleaze. RSPCT.
11 Kano, Buss It Up.
The Twenty, in whatever guise, couldn't go two months without mentioned Kano, Dizzee or JME, the holy trinity of grime. We've already kinda had JME in here and luckily for continuity lovers everywhere, Kano came back recently with this track teaming him with Vybz Kartel. It's dark, pulsing, sinister and exactly where we want Kano to be. Let's hope he doesn't Mike Skinner it up and go all sop sop Brown Eyes for his next album. Let's hope it's exactly this hot.
