Just when you thought it was safe in the club…It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
Let’s get one thing sorted: Top Billin are good straight-up fun. There are no pretensions here. They operate under the previously underground hip-hop genre of “crunk”. It’s currently undergoing a bit of a revival, especially within the hipster-electro scene (namely …
Pelski’s Playlist – Pt. II
It recently occurred to me that I haven’t done a second Pelski’s Playlist, after pledging to post one of these assorted lists every fortnight. Admittedly, it’s a shameless method of attracting web traffic, but also enables me to post …
Touche + ex-Simian = ghostly electro
When the group Simian are mentioned, many people assume this is lazy-speak for Simian Mobile Disco. We forget that Simian was also that charming but short-lived indie-rock group (2000-2003). Simian Vs Justice is a Justice remix of a Simian track, …

Crooks ‘N’ Gunn
Pelski is, in fact, more of a film-guru than a music-buff. So when I came across this remix of Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho score, you can imagine the excitement…and the relief that this remix is not like the majority of movie-themed …
Acccidddddddd
They say Techno is for the maturer listener. The ageing raver. So this is Pelski trying to mature. Dusty Kid is, however, not techno through-and-through, but produces a diverse amalgam of electro, techno and minimal. Erol first drew our attention …
DVNO…four capital letters,printed in gold…
Justice are the rock stars of Dance music. They even crowd-surf at their shows. This is why we are drawn to them (and, of course, Busy P’s genius marketing schemes). Oh yeah…and…there’s the music (im not a shallow hipster, I …
