Sadly no tracklist at the moment but that’s probably because it’s chocka block with unreleased exclusives that we might have to wait for a while for.

2012 is going to be the year of Digital Delight, starting on 31 January when they release their tenth EP X, a thirteen-track tonne of hot new talent featuring Death on the Balcony, Miguel Puente, Sishi Rösch and Will Crawshaw.

Their brand of ‘music for adults’ began in 2010 and was honed throughout 2011 by releases such as Rebel‘s Grass Roots EP and Lati & Jonny Cruz‘s storming Up In Smoke, complete with the magic ingredient to any nu-sleaze-bass package, a remix by Miguel Puente. Only fitting, then, that the tenth release should be a collaboration between their wider family, new and old, such as Wildkats joining with The 112.

Catch their guest-mixed podcast series here, and their Barcelona, UK and Mexico parties here, and preview the release below.

Goldfrapp – Strict Machine (Jamie Jones Remix) by Triple1234

Then read the comments on the soundcloud link and everyone’s identifying all the tracks that tick my boxes (not in order of appearance):
1. Climbers – All Right about 34 minutes in (Culprit give a release date of April in the comments too)
2 RaffaFL – Hot For You (the original – also watch out for the Climbers remix)
3. Eats Everything – Lo To Hi, 43 minutes in. We’ve been waiting to get our mitts on this for so long…
4. Russ’s remix of Oskar Offermann - Fluffer which is EVERYWHERE right now

And last but so utterly not least, I was unaware that Russ has also remixed our teenage dance anthem Fish Go Deep‘s The Cure and the Cause. Oh the memories! Hear it 1hr in.
The man can basically do no wrong at the moment… Watch out for the sound though, it is live so it’s not 100%.

His mixing doesn’t disappoint either, and this little beauty is packed full of my favourites; from Hot Since 82‘s Let It Ride to Jesse Perez‘s Slanging That D. You can hear Feeling You in there too. Enjoy.

Kornél Kovács is one of the three driving forces behind the Swedish Studio Barnhus label, alongside the excellent Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. Last year was the real breakthrough year for the trio, with Axel Boman signing his Nattsud EP to Jesse Rose’s digital imprint Play It Down, dropping two well-received EPs (Europa and BARN 003) on his own Studio Barnhus label and his 2010 hit Purple Drank (Pampa Records) being played everywhere by everyone. In addition, Kornél Kovács released his name-making solo hit Down Since ’92 in October, a Studio Barnhus follow-up to his 2010 debut Baby Step.

Studio Barnhus has been releasing records since October 2010 when they launched with a joint EP, Good Children Make Bad Grown Ups (which featured Baby Step and Axel Boman’s Modern Fluids). Releases quickly followed with EPs from Shakarchi & Straneus, Acid Andy, Ex-Pylon, HNNY, Jesper Dahlback and, most recently, Radioactive Orchestra (a unique Axel Boman collaboration with nuclear physicists, Bo Cederwall and Torbjorn Back, and media artist Kristofer Hagbard, based on musical algorithms and models of radiation emitted from various isotopes!).

As is often the case these days, their sound is somewhat indefinable; another reason why Kornél Kovács’ new mix for DJB is well worth a listen. From the man who regularly uses samples from his childhood Casio keyboard, this mix takes on a well-worked fusion of two-step, acid, Detroit, his cheeky Swedish personality and everything in between…

5. Knowing Looks – ‘Listen to My 45’ (WNCL)

7. Mu – ‘Let’s Get Sick’ (Output)
8. Neil Landstrumm – ‘DS Attack’ (Peacefrog)
9. Marcus Mixx – ‘U Blow Girl (Mouth Mix)’ (Unknown To The Unknown)

Oooh, there’s so much goodness packed into this 1 1/2 podcast from the great man Noir. I’ve been waiting to hear Russ Yallop‘s remix of Louie Fresco‘s So Good since it rocked the Hot Natured party on New Year’s Day as well as the haunting Hot Since 82 remix of Toky’s About You, H.O.S.H‘s What Do You Want Me To Say, due February on Diynamic and as for Tevo Howard & Tracey Thorn - Without Me (Noir & Martin Thompson Remix) Tracey’s dulcit tones are always a pleasure.

Noir also includes mystery Mexican duo Climbers, who I’ve been trying to find information about for a while now, since Cozzy D included Equal Responsibility on his Aphrodepth December 2011 mix (see 1hr 19 minutes in) and I played it to Emily about 17 times on repeat. It turns out theirs is the next EP forthcoming on Culprit, Losing You. Also worth a listen is their forthcoming remix of Raffa L‘s Hot For You. Nice.
