Prince/Metro Area - When Doves Cry Miura (Mash Compact Disco edit)

It is the mid 80's. In the dead of night, two cops are cruising the quiet streets. Why is there no one else around? Is something about to go down? Will the radio jump into life and the siren be switched on any second?

It's Midnight in Metropolis.

Visit my Bandcamp page at https://neilhalliday.bandcamp.com/releases for details on purchasing the my latest album, Hydrosphere.

After a few months away I'm back with the first collaboration between myself and my good friend guitarist "Magic" Michael De Jager. Look out for more coming in the near future.

Gilles Peterson and Havana Club went through hundred of entries, and chose 10 artists from around the globe to deliver Havana Cultura Mix – The Soundclash!

Here is the 2nd track we reveal off the album. Introducing Raumskaya and Daymé Arocena…

Sub bass, dirty drums, spheres and soulful voice cuts are the core of Saint Petersburg-based producer Gleb Voev (Raumskaya)’s sound. He is one of the creators of Beryoza Russian Ghetto Community project— “Our childhood memories incarnated in bass music and pop melodies from the past,” he explains. 

“Daymé has a beautiful, powerful voice and a big, romantic heart,” comments Gleb. “I think we created a soundtrack for life filled with emotions and kindness— it’s a song about love as the music in my life.”

U Knew Before Feat. Daymé Arocena- Raumskaya (Havana Cultura Mix)

Documenta will release 'Love As A Ghost' as a digital download through Touch Sensitive Records on Friday 22nd July.

Originally appearing as the centrepiece of their 2015 album 'Drone Pop #1', the single version of 'Love As A Ghost' features additional inspiration and instrumentation from the tracks' producer, David Holmes.

Love As A Ghost's widescreen, spectral 7 minutes outlines a group enthralled with the endless possibilities of repetition, melody and rhythm; haunting the same sonic cathedrals as My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and The Jesus and Mary Chain at their most ethereal.

Following a suggestion from Holmes, 'Love As A Ghost' is the first Documenta track to feature Roisin Stewart on lead vocals. Joe Greene (vocals, guitar) “knew it was her song as soon as I heard it. The sense of detachment yet feeling in her voice still gets me.”

“'Love As A Ghost' blows '60s girl-group Pop bubblegum as re-imagined by The Jesus & Mary Chain. An MBV see-sawing tremolo riff as drums suck backwards, their vacuum pulling everything with it. Like a goodbye replayed from memory, a retracing of steps. Trying to pinpoint where you went wrong.”
Rob Harris: testpressing.org

'Love As A Ghost' has gained airplay from 6Music's Jarvis Cocker and Gideon Coe alongside support from Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), A.R. Kane and more.

The release will be accompanied by select UK festival appearances and club shows:

Laverys Mister Toms, Belfast - 22nd July
Kendal Calling, Lake District - 28th - 31st July 
Electric Fields, Scotland - 26th & 27th August

After the success of last year’s multi-edition album release ‘F O R M A T’ via The Vinyl Factory, the critical acclaim of his ‘Science Fiction Dancehall Classics’ On-U Sound compilation and the ‘Metal Dance’ series for Strut, Trevor Jackson is back in 2016 with the long-awaited return of his much loved PLAYGROUP project.

“Inspired by the hedonistic early days of house, disco, post punk, electro and dub, these tracks reflect a unique moment in time”, explains Trevor. “The emergence of underground club culture in New York, London, Chicago, Paris and Northern Italy was driven by pioneering DJ’s playing a wildly diverse soundtrack to a passionate, dance driven and open minded audience. It was a sensory overload of chemicals, bass, smoke, sweat, sex and danger; a testament to the non-air conditioned, non-i-Phone infested and non- corporate clubbing days of yore.” 

Targeted directly at the modern dance floor, many of the tracks were freshly re-edited and tweaked with the assistance of Sasha Crnobrnja from In Flagranti. Ed DMX lends a helping hand on one track, two feature the vocals of Mike Z from the seminal new wave band Crash Course In Science, and a young Kieran Hebden (AKA Four Tet) plays guitar on the final EP’s lead track. 

Released as series of 9 limited edition vinyl-only EPs over a period of 9 weeks, the 30 tracks featured are a collection of reworked demos and unreleased recordings. Still sounding as relevant today as they did when initially created during the writing process of the debut PLAYGROUP album from 1997-2001. 
Packaged in a collection of 9 individual sleeves that, as a full set, combine to make a single image featuring a photo by legendary photographer Bill Bernstein, they’re as much a testament to Trevor Jackson’s visual ability as his musical one.

SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO & BICEP | SACRIFICE

Christmas has come early at ITI Towers! After a "not very good" year (you may substitute this description for: fucking disastrous, if you so wish), we're delighted to be rounding it off with an addition to our mix series from style icon, Acid-House legend and visual artist-extraordinaire, Justin Robertson, Esq. Now, if only we can persuade him to put on around 8 stone, age 20 years overnight and grow his beard long, the festive experience will be complete...

For those that don't know, Justin was one of the pioneering talents that brought Acid-House to the fore in early 90's Manchester with his club nights Spice and Most Excellent, which he threw at various venues in the city, including the seminal Hacidena. This propelled him into the DJ limelight where he became a musical phenomenon at parties up and down the country like Bugged Out!, Cream, Heavenly Social, Bestival, Glastonbury, The Warehouse project and many others. Basically, anywhere good over the last thirty years!

His remix back catalogue is a who's who of culture, including, but not limited to: Bjork, New Order, Happy Mondays, Bryan Ferry, Noel Gallagher, Felix Da Housecat, Paul Weller, Erol Alkan & Boys Noize and Andrew Weatherall. Not content with this already high level of output, the ever-overachieving Justin decided to become a proper, bona-fide pop star by forming the band Lionrock and scoring a top 20 hit on the UK charts! 

Since then he’s added many more strings to his bow with innovative shows on Soho Radio, putting out music with long-time collaborator Daniel Avery, touring with The Chemical Brothers, a plethora of solo EP’s and albums, the latest of which was released via Brighton institution, Skint Records. He is also the mastermind behind cult act Revtone, he’s collaborated with Tim Burgess and written songs for two Fatboy Slim albums… impressed yet?

In recent years our Justin has diversified even further by moving into the visual art world and has exhibited his beautiful paintings, sketching and photographs around Europe. There is, seemingly, no end to the mans talents… 

As such, we are utterly thrilled to welcome JR to the ITI mix series! His DJ sets and mixes have been an inspiration over the years, and what he has recorded for us here is an impressive addition to that cannon. At a time when we all need a bit of positivity in our lives, Justin has kindly provided a two hour expedition into the left-field side of electronic music for the dance floor, filled with joy. 
Merry Christmas, one and all!
