2. Prins Thomas Instrumental
This may not be the kind of music your normally expect to hear from us, but we're sure you'll agree that we couldn't miss
the opportunity to sign this record.
A bona fide star in his native Ireland Japes sound is best described as an amalgam of Jamie T / Beck / Arab Strap /
Yo La Tengo / Hot Chip. Produced by fellow Irishman David Kitt (Rough Trade) Jape's sound melds indie, electronica,
blues and hip hop to head-bopping affect.
Adam Freeland's contribution to the 'Back To Mine' [link to buy in shop] series presented the world with an insight
into Adams love of music beyond the dance floor. Jape's 'Floating' was featured in the mix and was one of the most
talked about tracks on the album. Since then its had the honour of being covered and played by 'The Raconteurs' and
has been gathering underground support from far and wide.
Prins Thomas was the perfect candidate for remixing the track and he hasn't failed to deliver. Expect 11 tasteful minutes
which manages to keep the original vibe and turn the song into an epic future disko masterpiece. New signing Alex Metric
provides Marine Parade fans with the dancefloor panache they've long been associated with…noisy, tough beats with electro
stabs. On the 7" we also feature fellow Irishman Son Green who delivers a warped electonica version.
Available on vinyl, mp3 and wav, from the Marine
Parade Shop. You can buy a zip file of all 6 mixes for the bargain price of £3.99 (320kbps mp3) or £4.99 (wav)
Coming Next: Alex Metric 'Whatshewants'
Mixmag single of the month!
Size matters, and by any standard of measurement, Alex Metric's talent is large, as made clear by his debut for us.
At just 26 years of age, he has made a big splash as both DJ and producer. He's played gigs spanning the globe from
Fabric in London to Eastern European festivals to Los Angeles clubs. Nominated as breakthrough producer at the 2006
Breakspoll awards, expect to be hearing a lot more from Alex Metric.
On the genre-smashing Whatshewants, Metric's productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings
into his music. Inspired by everything from Jacques Le Cont and Daft Punk to his obsession with bad 80's records and krautrock
rhythms, Metric chops up the beats 'n vocals here like if he were Prince signed to Ed Banger. Slamming tracks like "Oh"
percolate with ironic electro-pop synths and brash hip-hop attitude, while "Breakin Hearts" seduces with chunky guitar
glitch given the trademark Metric acid wash. The e.p.'s cheeky power culminates in the title track, "Whatshewants,"
a squelching dancefloor stormer whose chunky hooks bring rude rock intensity to electronic club thump. "It's all quite a
mash-up of stuff," Metric explains. "I'm inspired by anything with a bit of balls and attitude.".
Out July 30th - Listen to 'Whatshewants' / 'Oh' / 'Breakin Hearts' on the
website now. There are limited
test pressings available,
or pre-order the finished product.
Adam Freeland - 'Global Underground'
"There's nothing out there quite like it. Arguably Adam's and Global Underground's finest ever mix" (iDJ magazine compilation of the month)
"It is enough to turn your head into jelly - and jelly feels good. Freeland's the type of DJ who keeps people moving by firing
shots at their feet. It makes for a pretty memorable experience."

Adam's Global Underground has been released to critical acclaim and shows his DJ style cannot be pigeon-holed. To buy the CD and
