Hello again,
If you're thinking of acquiring the new "Intellectos Manifesto Volume II"
compilation which features the previously unreleased Ex-Rental song
"Masculin Feminin", you might like to pre-order it from
http://intellectos.com who are throwing in a free bonus mystery CD with
every order - and you know that can't be bad.
The CD features new electro sounds from an international underground
all-star line-up (or something), including:
Hanin Elias & Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot), Broken Spindles (an offshoot
from The Faint), Kitchen (featuring Amanda from Bis), Avenue D, Freezepop,
Blow Up (who I recently remixed), Kling Klang (the latest signings to
Mogwai's label), Winterbrief and The Guy Who Invented Fire (who've both
remixed Ex-Rental songs for the forthcoming US EP), and many more.
You can currently hear a RealAudio excerpt of "Masculin Feminin" at
http://ex-rental.com/outimv2.htm (with backing vocals by former member
Lucy), and there's a glowing review of the CD at
http://www.100unnatural.com/0403%20Pages/0403%20musicreview_intellectos.htm
...
Also, my cheeky remix of Winterbrief's "I Want To Be Sexy" is due out this
month on their new album, which also includes a Baxendale remix of the same
song. Watch for updates at http://www.heartcorerecords.net if you want a
copy of this bizarre Christina Aguilera-namedropping electro-disco
novelty... ahem...
Finally, Lucy and I team up again as The Hot Bedfellows next Saturday (17th
May) to DJ between the live bands at the second Snare Girl Records night,
upstairs at The Enterprise in Camden. It's only £2 admission with a flyer
(see http://snaregirl.com for one of these), and live music is courtesy of
Even If We Fail, Sunnyvale Noise Sub-Element, Souvaris, Castro and a man
they call Simon. Maybe see you there?

P.S. There's an extremely dubious new bootleg mix at
http://ex-rental.com/dirtyboots.htm - shhh!
