step back in time

Attention Kylie fans! It's time to put your hands up and smell the poppers! PWL alumnus, Pete Hammond, has crafted a frothy, SAW inspired remix of what will hopefully be the next single from Ms. Minogue's current longplayer, "Aphrodite".

"Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)" has been reswizzled into a glittering, early 90s, retro jam. Get ready to dance around your handbag!



It's a beautiful marriage of Kylie's PWL past and her showgirl present. Love the colorful little clip that's been put together for it. One litte suggestion. Someone should learn how to spell. When has "come on" ever been spelled "common'"? Have I missed something? Sorry, I'm a bit of a grammar granny.

Let's hope EMI do the right thing for once. Release this now!

I put a spell on you

Ride on time. Ride on time. Techno, techno, bloody techno, darling.

"The Spell" is the new and much talked bout, 90s Italo house inspired single from Alphabeat, the zany Danes that brought us fabulous, pop gems like "Fascination", "10,000 Nights" and "Boyfriend", the Pete Hammond remix of which singlehandedly brought back the amyl nitrate nights of the late 80s and early 90s. I guess you can tell we liked those jammy jams quite a lot.



The new single is out on October 19 and should be followed by their sophomore longplayer shortly thereafter.

Speaking of the Pete Hammond remix of "Boyfriend"...



Damn! This mix should have been released on the CD single. Missed opportunities abound in the music "biz". Don't they, kittens?

And some industrious student of popular music has done a super mash up of "Fascination" with "Blitzkrieg Bop" by New York City, punk pioneers, Ramones.

look who's getting fresh

I feel like I just snorted an entire bottle of amyl nitrate. ZING!

Pete Hammond took "Left My Heart In Tokyo" by Mini Viva, a reasonably decent single, and swizzled it into an amazing, retro, dance around your handbag, floor filler.

There's a joke about Pink Lady in here someone. Don't bother me, kid. Ask your parents!

Remember how Cliviles & Cole were brilliant at pulling influences from different "classic", "old school", disco records and refashioning them into amazing pop nuggets? Pete's back and he's got that same knack. Take a listen to "Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend" by Mel & Kim.



All that missing in the Mini Viva remix is that wicked, whip sound. And by the way, it doesn't look like Pete's mix is going to be made commercially available. Someone shoot me. Time to fire up the interwebs for a search.
