more killer boots.
one I just found yesterday, "slave it," by stark effect, makes an unholy union of yes' "leave it" (remember? the follow-up to "owner of a lonely heart") and la brit's "slave 4 u." inspired.
dj lance lockarm is a guy you may have heard of; his boot "bring the muzik back" is getting some actual radio play in the us (particularly on 97x, one of the nation's best and truly alternative stations). for my, er, free download, though, his best work is an early piece he did called "nasty voices," where janet meets the police in a back alley. ace!
richard x is a genius. he's the one who first thought to piece together adina howard's "freak like me" and gary numan's "are 'friends' electric," which ended up being re-recorded by sugababes, giving bastard pop its first uk #1 single. under the guise of girls on top, he's released a number of 7"s through rough trade, the most shockingly beautiful of these being "i wanna dance with numbers," which lays whitney down on a bed of kraftwerk, making her sound much more sad and melancholy.
and then there are the kings, soulwax. if you haven't heard the infamous "smells like booty" by now, what are you waiting for?! a culture clash of the highest proportions.
