Following the succes of their previous release; 'We Are All Prostitutes' by Adam Sky VS Mark Stewart, Exploited are set to release their second single, also taken from head honcho Shir Khan's 'Maximize!' compilation from the same label, 'Allthegirls' by Siriusmo. The release is also backed with some superb remixes by blog-land favourite Yuksek and this gorgeous mix from Tomboy, which I'm totally in love with right now. 'Allthegirls' by Siriusmo is forthcoming on Exploited and available at the end of February.






Jack Union Records have brought joy to Blighty and the rest of the world yet again with their latest digital release on their label. This time Lee Mortimer has delivered his 'Kinda Hip EP' which is quite an understatement really as this is very fucking hip to be fair. Some seriously deep influenced jacking house here which will satisfy all fans of this already popular underground label. 'Kinda Hip EP' by Lee Mortimer is out now on Jack Union records and available to download from Juno Downloads.







Everybodys talking about the new Hot Chip album 'Made In The Dark' ready to drop next year, and I suppose you've all heard the extemely catchy first single from the release 'Ready For The Floor' by now. The single is backed by an almighty 'Nite Version' from the Dewaele Brothers Soulwax, a bouncy Jesse Rose Remix and we're also treated to a fist shaking' Mix courtesy of Mad Decent entrepreneur Diplo. 'Ready For The Floor' by Hot Chip is out now in a limited double 12" promo pack if you're lucky to catch one, and set for full release on January 28th followed by the album 'Made In The Dark' and you can pre-order them both now @ Recordstore.






STDs are never good news. STDJs on the other hand are something totally different, and something to be quite happy about. Saul from STDJs has got in touch with their latest offering, an awesome new wonkly bass remix of Tapedeck's track 'Destiny'. They're also working on some original material also which we should see in 2008, so its worth keeping an eye on these guys. Check out more from STDJs @ their MySpace.







It was not so long ago I blogged about a good friend of Electric Zoo from the Gold Coast of Australia, Wongo. Well its already time again for more from the ex-B-Boy turned music producer! I really don't know where he gets the time to produce so much new music, but its definetly working for him as you can clearly hear his sound develop and the level of his skills, with every new track. I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so, as his track 'Congo' (Which you can check out in the previous post here), has been snapped up by label Clean House to be backed with possible remixes from Full Phat, Soydan and more. While we wait for that exciting EP, check out these brand new tracks below to clearly see what I'm talking about, 'Itchy Trigger Finger' is a quirky number that brings back great memories of that fantastic Avalanches album from 7 years back. 'Congo EP' by Wongo is forthcoming on Clean House stay tuned!






The guys over at Palms Out Sounds have had huge success with their debut record label release from the fantastic Fagget Fairys. All the Grindin folk are loving these guys at the moment, and more and more remixes are starting to surface too which is always great news! Here's a brand new remix from Milan based DJ/Production group 3 Is A Crowd. This track demonstrates a huge improvement on the last 3IAC tracks ive heard, and sound more like they are starting to follow the footsteps of fellow Italian house heads Crookers. Order limited copies of the Fagget Fairs debut EP on Palms Out Sounds now, includes remixes from Drop The Lime, Boody B & Copyfokking.







I haven't mentioned Nic Sarno on the blog up until now which is kinda of bad of me really, because this guy is fairly well known for his music now, and already has a number of awesome EPs and remixes under his belt. Nic Sarno is yet another Italian hailing from Milan, where Im assuming there's some sort of spawning portal for fidget house talent right now. Mr Sarno has a forthcoming EP on the already mentioned Jack Union Records, and has a great EP out now already on ESP Records. Buy 'The Sample Truth EP' by Nic Sarno from Juno Downloads now.






We all know Dimitre V too well now as The Bulgarian, with his quirky, upbeat and bouncy house beats he's kindly provided over this highly successful year. Well that's not the full package. Dimitre has a huge amount of music talent locked up. Far too much to be represented by one moniker alone! So to try and give everyone a taste of his alter ego Mr.Elastik's stylings hes created a special mix to showcase this mentality.

This last track is a little Christmas special from Canadian electro rap troop The Flashboyz. The self acclaimed and named 'Bestchristmassongever', is funky, fly and fluorescently festive! just what the doctor ordered!





This is probably the last post until the new year now, so I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for their support over this awesome first year for Electric Zoo (It was actually its first birthday back in November.. oops missed that!), and a Merry Christmas to everyone, and have a great new year too!
