Short, Long, Long

A trio of tunes that buzzed in my ear at the weekend and are likely to stick around for a while. 

The Hidden Cameras are unexpectedly remixed by Pet Shop Boys - I'm hoping that there will be an extended remix to follow.

London-based duo Beyond The Struttosphere are new to me, but Rich Lane has been a familiar name in the past few years and his remix of Storming Heaven ticks all the boxes for me.

Johnson Somerset has been creating official and unofficial remixes for well over two decades now. I think I first discovered him via a Simple Minds or Duran Duran extended remix. A few days ago he posted a 10-minute rework of a Gary Numan classic, which doesn't outstay its welcome.

1) How Do You Love? (Pet Shop Boys Remix): The Hidden Cameras

2) Storming Heaven (Rich Lane's American Dream): Beyond The Struttosphere

3) Are 'Friends' Electric? (Johnson Somerset Remix): Tubeway Army

 

A Shot Of Equanimity

Another dip into the shopping bag for an hour-long selection of purchases from last Friday.

 

Topped and tailed by David Holmes, all but one from this decade, a mix of legendary and new(ish) names, all committed to delivering some top tunes, bending the original music into new shapes.

 

Enjoy!
