It's Friday I'm in love...


Lowri picks: Tommy's Theme - Noisia Noisia - Tommy's Theme by NOISIA

Tommy's Theme feels like a dinosaur stomping through your city, ripping up trees, upturning cars. The opening strings set the scene, the silhouette of the monster against the sun as he approaches...and then....RAAAAAA. He unleashes chaos. Run for the hills.

Noisia go in a heavy dubstep direction with this new release on Deadmau5 imprint Mau5trap. The Dutch trio are - quite literally - untouchable.

Tom picks: Storm Queen – It Goes On (Dub)

The winning combo of Metro Area's Morgan Geist and vocalist Damon C Scott are back. The story goes that Geist met Scott while the former was busking in a New York subway (a tube station to me and you, not the baguette place).

They had a mammoth crossover hit last year with 'Look Right Through', and while their second effort doesn't pack the catchy hooks of the first, the dub is as punchy as you like, pure Quentin Harris style NYC attitude.  

Emma picks: Gino Soccio - Dancer (Disconet remix)

Gino Soccio's 'Try It Out' must be one of my all time favourite records, although his most popular track 'Dancer' is not far behind with a similar funky groove, gorgeous, syrupy vocals and a pounding bassline.

This Disconet remix sounds just like the original so why have I linked to this instead of the original? Well it has possibly one of the best YouTube comments I've found yet. xxr56 says: "Heard this first at the gay bathhouse in Indianapolis back in the mid 1980s...great humping music." It's also great on the dancefloor.
