Just as I was pondering over the short dry spell of Dave Taylor tunes, it pours down with the some hot new stuff in the pipeline! I must apologise to some extent for posting so much of this fidget house nonsense, and maybe I'm losing a little credibility for the blog by not being so diverse with my selections, but I know what I like and I like what I know. So, second single from their long overdue debut LP is the all set to be summer anthem 'I Believe' by the super Simian Mobile Disco featuring vocals from Simon Lord (Simian, Black Ghosts). After an incredible underground following over the past few years, highly successful sold out UK shows this year including a captivating room one performance at Fabric its only right for James and Jas to rake in some of them bucks! Mr Taylor seems to be the most sought after remixing talent in the country and he explains why with this cheeky, body moving and system stretching rework. In other Switch news the legend has also cooked up another fine remix for Ben Weestbeech's new single 'Dance With Me' which is a mesmerising ghetto bass affair that'll get you all quaking. 'Dance With Me' by Ben Westbeech is out now on Brownswood Records and is available on 12" now at Juno or Phonica. 'I Believe' by Simian Mobile Disco is released on 17th July through Wichita and available in all good record stores, and fans should expect more remixes from Prins Thomas & Girl Talk.






Speaking of Switch, Dave's ex-other-half (In a DJ/production duo kind of way of course!) Trevor Loveys has been a very busy bee lately creating some amazing productions in the form of his debut Dubsided EP, and some world class remixes for Crookers, Dub Pistols, & Claude VonStroke to name a few. I’m happy to say that I love how his style has evolved from the classy sophisticated house he made on many EPs and even an LP on Freerange and Front Room Records, to what it is today and influenced infusion of house genres which together form a great sound that I'm sure the Dubsided family welcomed with open arms! Pick up Trevor's fantastic 'Organ Grinder EP' on Dubsided now which is available at Juno and Phonica. The Dub Pistols' single 'Open' featuring an awesome remix by Trevor Loveys is out now on Sunday Best and available on 12" from Juno or Phonica or download from Juno Downloads, the latest Crookers 'Crooked To Play EP', on On The Brink Recordings again with an amazing Trevor Loveys Remix is also available to download now on Juno Downloads.






And of course a full on fidget attack wouldn't be complete without a mention of Josh Harvey. The master has loaned his skills to the awesome GoodBooks on their latest single 'The Illness'. Herve creates a very infectious fuzzy dub in the way only he can! Crazy riffs and mini vox loops a plenty here! Joining him on this remix 12" are The Teenagers with their more vocal friendly electro remix, and Tapedeck who's 'Sick' remix of 'The Illness' starts off very calm and develops some speed garage like bass lines! Definitely a very diverse remix package with a great selection of remix talents on the job. 'The Illness' (Remixes) is out now on 12" and limited copies are available to buy from Pure Groove now.






At the tender age of 19, Plimsouls is definitely heading in the right direction hitting high in the Hype Machine's most popular chart with his recent remix of Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E.'. As mentioned on his MySpace 'Using only his cunning wit and quick hands, he managed to 'invest' in a laptop, some CDJs and a copy of Ableton Live that he now sits in front of, day in, day out, piecing together various blips, blops and bleeps to satisfy the more electronically minded amongst you.' this 'different' and dedicated approach definitely pays off!






With fifteen years experience on the club circuits of Prague and throughout Europe, Tvyks still remains a very fresh faced character not only in terms of looks, but also with his attitude towards the music and the club scenes. Forgetting countless gigs and huge artist support for now, over the years he has also knocked up a few of his own records, more recently though are his productions alongside Uber Audio Bros known for their release on Get Physical. These tracks have a nice psychedelic kind of electro sound to them, and listening to them I can pick out some influence and similarities to Simian Mobile Disco. Their productions should see a release forthcoming on Plastique Records Prague and as well as a couple of MP3s to share with you, Tvyks has also sent me this exclusive mix recently put together by the man himself!
