I’m a little behind with my blogging, but here is a crazy collaboration that I just found out about, Machines Don’t Care. It is a project centered around Herve and Sinden along with djs/producers Drop The Lime, Detboi, Trevor Loveys, Toddla T, Affie Yusuf and Fake Blood. It should be an interesting mix of talents.

Erol recently caught up with bassist Kai Fish to discuss the making of the Mystery Jets acclaimed album ‘Twenty One’ on the eve of their next single release ‘Two Doors Down’. As a extra special bonus, you can download the original home demo of album opener ‘Hide Away’ recorded way back in March 2007.

Erol: Kai! What happened? It’s been a long journey…

Kai: E! It has certainly been a long journey, and I’ve a sneaky feeling we’re not even half way there… How long did it take us to record? A year? I can’t believe it, it feels like barely a month ago we set foot in Konk for the first of many sessions. It’s definitely been a roller coaster, more nemesis in Alton towers than a stroll through an English park… I don’t think we could have done it any other way though, do you?

Erol: I agree. Being a second album, there’s a lot to consider, and I feel it’s a time where you really need to explore your own music, and edit yourself much harder, and it takes time. Rushing a second album is usually the death knell for many bands. We went through almost 10 studios, 5 engineers; we lost ‘Young Love’ due to a hard drive failure and had to rebuild it from fragments of audio..

Kai: Who would have thought… although listening back to the album now I think it feels very together, I certainly doesn’t sound like the journey it took to get there. I think it was maybe the way the songs were in such various degrees of completion when we went in to record them, that made the process such an epic one. Something to remember for next time!

Cheers to Kidz by Colette bringing it to the world first, as usual.Thoughts? The original is still better, I was expecting Justice to do a more disco/70s remix of this track, something along the lines of their Klaxons remix.

Ed Banger records head Pedro Winters has stepped down from managing Daft Punk to concentrate on the label and his own musical career as Busy P. But that didn’t stop him from dropping a serious robot bomb on Aussie electronic site InTheMix.

“The boys are in a studio in Paris at the moment,” Winters revealed to ITM. “And I can’t wait to listen to their new stuff! The good thing is that they are making music at the moment.

This is like Serato meets the Lemur Pad. Is this going to be the next big DJing tool? Will this beat out Ableton?

What does Glenjamn and a few of his buddies decide do when they get high? The most typical stoner thing, find songs that sync up to movies, Justice x 28 Weeks Later. Thus is born, 28 Stressful Weeks Later. This is some epic shit, Michael Jackson’s Thriller on crack. Justice should have just scored this entire movie. Is this our generation’s Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz? I quote Glenjamn by saying this is “one of the most important stoner discoveries of our time”. Take note of the transition from Stress into Waters of Nazareth.
