Rumours are abound that the recent live set performed by Justice at The Warehouse party was actually a fake!

The picture above shows Gaspard Auge on a midi controller that is neither plugged in or powered on. The fact that he seems to be going for it as well has led many to believe that it was a bit of a Top Of The Pops perfermance.

However, Justice have hit back and claimed that they soon noticed after that photo was taken that the contorller was unplugged and quickly amended the situation. Easy mistake for anyone but it does leave you wondering…

Pest Control is back with another prime selection of techno, acid, italo and propper electro.

This week features an exclusive live set from Soma’s Octogen, aka Marco Benardi, recorded in Edinburgh. As well as that bombshell there’s new tracks from the likes of DMC Krew, Yo Majesty, Pase Rock, Fancy & Spook alongside upcoming releases from Pest Control label mates Tokyo Knife Attack and John Hospital.

Whit a show!

As previously reported, Skream, Simian Mobile Disco and Jackson And His Computer Band have all composed special tracks for the system, which lets your iPod talk to Nike+ enabled running shoes through the wireless Nike+ Sport Kit. Data on time, distance, calories burned and pace is stored on your iPod and can then be downloaded through iTunes to the user’s Nike+ account online. Each of the specially written tracks are written for a 30 minute warm up, running workout and warm down, setting the pace and BPM to match the runner’s journey.

Skream’s ‘Gallasia’, which the producer says is written for a dark, urban night run, is released on Monday. Says Skream: “Music makes you want to move - it is a natural inspiration for movement when combining different BPMs one can influence a person’s energy both physically and mentally”.

In 2001 Krysko became resident at The Redlight (Sankeys Soap, Manchester) and over the last 4 years he’s played alongside most of his musical heroes and has even managed a rare short back to back set with the Chicago legend… Derrick Carter.

Since leaving Sankeys Soap in 2006 Krysko became resident at The Warehouse Project and played alongside artists as diverse as Underground Resistance, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Lidell, Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra and Hot Chip.

This set was recorded live at The Warehouse Project launch weekend on Saturday 27th September 2008 where he played allong side Riton, Duke Dumont and Basement Jax.

If you’re into this then make sure you grab some tickets for his up coming appearances at The Warehouse Project..

It’s easy to forget that not only have The Prodigy given us some of the greatest hits of the rave era and beyond with ‘Out Of Space’ ‘Everybody In the Place’, ‘Charley Says’, ‘Firestarter’ and ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, they also gave a face to rave and to the rest of us donated the whole idea of selling a credible, uncompromising dance music album with the personality and punk panache of a rock artist - and sold 16 million albums in the process.

Now, on Invaders Must Die, Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim all feature on the album, which is the first time since the release of Fat Of The Land in 1997. The result is back to their bone shaking best, a collision of old skool rave noise with the stratospheric limits of new technology.

One of Radio Magnetic’s top artists of 2008 (watch this space for the run down) has to be Santogold. Leaping out of Diplo’s studio Santi has taken the UK by storm and this week is your chance to see the creator in the flesh.

Ending 2008 with the same glittering bang she entered it with, Santogold releases her new single ‘Say Aha’ on November 24th.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock this year you will have noticed the enigmatic New Yorker infiltrate our musical worlds and pricking up our ears with her debut long player ‘Santogold’. Vast and experimental in sound - from new wave offerings to dub induced dancehall beats - she won everyone’s hearts with her ability to pen a cracking, unique pop tune.

The wonderful ‘Say Aha’ sets out over sparkling reggae horns and trembling bass lines. With typical defiant Santogold lyrics delivered in a mish mash of styles from ethereal singing to toasting style chanting, ‘Say Aha’ is a relevant, upbeat pop song from its newest enchanting princess.

It’s no secret everyone has been eager to come out and tip Santogold as their favourite new act from Mark Ronson to Bjork to Kanye West. The latter being such a big fan that he’s asked Santi to be the main to support on his ‘Glow In The Dark’ European tour this Autumn. Santogold will be back with her live band in the New Year for her own headline national tour.

Life after bands: an idea with the most negative of implications. But there is indeed much vibrant life, brimming with heart and soul, left for James Ford and Jas Shaw, collectively known as Simian Mobile Disco.

The name for their production/DJing outfit sings ballads about their musical history, from the very first word - Simian, a psychedelic indie band that had its moment of taking over the world in the early noughties, with Jas on guitar and James keeping time on drums. Simian celebrated two critically acclaimed albums, globeencompassing tours, working with Brian Eno (on their second album, “We Are Your Friends,” in ‘02), even songs being featured in international adverts but, like all good things, an end was inescapable.

Simian Mobile Disco keeps all listeners keenly on their toes and, taking a step away from any misguided preconceptions, showcases an exemplary DJ set on FABRICLIVE 41: an arresting, expansive mix that shuffles with 4/4 rarities and gems. At times tough, other times spacey, and riveting throughout, the iridescent collection is an exploratory trip onto a dancefloor commanded by the improvisatory musicians. SMD strips back and lets loose with the thump of Smith N Hack, the disco shine of Metro Area and the proggy sounds of Sisters of Transistors.

This mix was recorded live at Fabric, London. Unfortunately this means we don’t have a tracklist.
