Turbo 041 - Duke Dumont
Regality EP ///

A - When I Hear Mu'Sic

B1 - Lean & Bounce

B2 - Final Level

"I don't know much about Duke Dumont. In fact I know nothing, and that's just the way I like it.See the big problem with having a record label is having to deal with the "ARTISTS". Usually these guys are just dorks who sit at home and spend all their time making music, three-armed pale cyber-weirdos whose idea of a good time is getting new skins for their plug in reverbs so they can make their virtual rack look all "alien". Even worse.... sometimes you get guys who have "ideas" of their own....things like "can we approve artwork?" or "can I write my own bio?" or the incredibly predictable "can I see a statement?". I got so fed up of these money-hungry, megolomaniacal dweebs that in late 2005 I decided to take Turbo Recordings to revolutionary new heights of record label administration... and I laid out The Rules:

1-I don't want to know anything about you (the Artist)...EXCEPT:

a) your height (I do NOT sign Dwarves or Mini-Men)

b) your sex...sorry ladies, but trust me sweethearts, Techno is a tough world that requires tough Man-Strength.

c) Haircolor/hairtexture: corn-rows need not apply... and the same goes for albinos.

d) ambition level: if you care so much about "money" how about getting a job at a bank, or being a gardener....Turbo has a strict NO Advance, No Royalties, No Statement , No Problems policy. We find that confusing the artist with financial matters only results in growing confidence, artistic independence and an impure heart.

2-I write everything, if I say your an Ultra-right wing Paraguayan with extreme body-odor...you're just gonna have to trust me.

3-If I make my own record, yours will be bumped to allow room in the release schedule. In fact, if I make my own record, I might even deliberately "re-edit" your record to make it worse to make mine sound better. Again...trust me, I been in this business since 92.So, with the above in mind... I got the Duke Dumont demo a while back. I had already been impressed by his remix on Wall Of Sound... I loved it. I also heard he won some REMIX competition. Like a Grammy, only not a Grammy. The tracks he sent were amazing... so I sent him our standard application form. Once he waived his copyrights, signed off on all legal rights, and paid the obligatory 175$CDN in administration fees, we moved on to the "personal information section": he JUST made the minimum height cut-off, his hair, while being orange (no bonus) was NOT corn-rowed. While I argued vigorously that I had worked too long and hard building up Turbo to see it go all "Ginger"... Von Party defended the Duke, saying it might show how open-minded we are. When I re-listened to the tracks I decided that it was well worth the risk.

So.... What you now hold in your hand is the debut on Turbo of DUKE DUMONT: the mysterious bad ass from the wrong-side of the Tube, the hardboiled London underground pioneer who once had to EAT a sampler to survive, the future of dance music, and the PAST of the future of dance music.N-Joi3 tracks.2 that are incredible.1 that will annoy you but is still dope.

Yours always,Tiga"

Soulwax

On October 22, Parlophone is releasing a compilation of Soulwax remixes. This double CD contains nearly all of their remixes and some new and rare work. Included are The Gossip, LCD Soundsystem, Klaxons, Human Resource, 808 State, DJ Shadow, Justice, Kylie, Gorillaz, Robbie Williams, Arthur Argent, Lords of Acid, Daft Punk, Sugababes, Muse, Wes Phillips, Tiga, Hot Chip, Ladytron, Felix Da Housecat and PlayGroup.

The full title of the compilation seems to be:

"Most of the remixes we've made over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fill in lenght-wise. But including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet. A few we really love. One we think is just OK. Some we did for free. Some we did for money. Some just for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent."

Surely the longest title I've seen in a while !
