Neste EP, Tunes da Silva apoiado pela genialidade lírica de alguns dos artistas mais perspicazes da nossa geração revolta-se contra o clima de facilitismo e de absoluta corrupção que se encontra no DFA, evocando aqueles que são os maiores culpados! Este trabalho já foi nomeado para dois Grammy's, um Dragão de Ouro e para o prémio The Best da FIFA. Irá também receber as chaves da cidade de Espinho e da pacata vila de Courel assim como a Medalha Presidencial da Liberdade das mãos de Donald Trump.

“No Cigar” is a track that didn’t make it onto 2023’s 5 Songs, which was, technically, five songs, so there wasn’t room. It’s a pokey, plonky bit of dance music from Shit Robot (aka Marcus Lambkin), made with Joe Goddard and Al Doyle at their RAE Studios in London.

It sounded… dubby. Like “what if Adrian Sherwood got his hands on this?” dubby. So we asked. And he said yes!

The b-side is classic Sherwood at the controls—a version that’s not fully exploded, but submerged, warped, a little demented. We’re honored and still hearing crazy new sounds every time we play it.

The “No Cigar” 12-inch is out July 25. Pre-order it now before you can’t.

Originally curated for and published by Clash in 2014, an all-vinyl mix about which Marcus said, "some are classics, some not, but I think there is a thread running through it. Hope you enjoy.”

Eric Broucek was the ur-engineer of the most fertile era of DFA Studios, from about 2003 to 2008 (no one knows anything precisely about that time, as it’s all lost in the fog of chaos). His hand was on all of the remixes, LPs, dance 12s. He was there in that over-designed gear dungeon almost every day, recording, mixing, struggling to not roll his eyes at Tim and me. And somewhere in that fog, he quietly dropped limited runs of three 12-inch delayed reaction bombs on his own label Stickydisc Recordings—two under the name Babytalk, and one as Watussi with another DFA regular, Morgan Wiley.

Back in the day, Eric did not want his music released on DFA. He wanted to forge his own identity, which he did, sending out music that wandered from the DFA path with its uniquely wonky, upended and understated power. His music is so unlike everything else of that era, so profoundly singular, that it still sounds completely out of time.

A few years back, I started DJing the tracks again, and saw how the world was still surprised by what Eric had made, and the idea of this compilation was born.

So, in the end, Eric, we totally got to release your records anyway. We heart you, man.

"This mix comes from my sets warming up for LCD Soundsystem. When on tour I might do four to eight shows in a run and I like to try to make each show different and not play the same set every night. Sometimes I play to the crowd, sometimes I play for myself but often times the band will have the audio piped into the dressing rooms and this set comes from specifically playing to them. I’ve played a few different versions of this set, but anytime I played a synth/coldwave set I always got a great response from the band so I wanted to record something to remember before I moved on." -Marcus

It wasn’t really hiding, just sitting quietly online. But Tom Sharkett’s edit of “Home” was too good to ignore. Originally a bootleg we first heard played on Flo Dill’s Breakfast Show on NTS, it wormed its way into our hearts and never left. So we made it official. Sometimes the internet actually makes your life better.
