Radiohead - King Of Limbs remixes

Now that they've all been gathered on one compilation, the various Radiohead remixes that have been released on 12" throughout 2011 seem to make more sense, if that's not something of a betrayal of the concept. If you were going to be fanciful and regard them as an 'album' then it's the best thing Radiohead have put their name to since Amnesiac. It works surprisingly well as a long-player, with a wide variety of styles from some excellent producers. Highlights would have to be cuts from Jacques Greene, Blawan and Shed. Needless to say, kudos to Radiohead for shining their influential light on the fertile electronic/bass/whatever-you-call-it-don't-call-it-post-dubstep scene. Interesting nerdy fact: the Jacques Greene remix cleverly changes at 1-minute intervals.

Blawan makes Irish debut in Galway

Dubculture Galway have regularly been bringing talent from the dubstep/bass spectrum to town - unfortunately I haven't been along to any of these nights: you can just about get away with standing around like an awkward loner at gigs but club nights are a different story. Anyway, Blawan is quite a coup for the organisers; he's made a name for himself in a very short space of time with his percussion-heavy, acid-tinged sound. The consistently excellent Hessle Audio released his first 12", the striking 'Fram/Iddy' last year, and that's been followed by this year's 303-laced Bohla EP on R & S..

and then there's this amazing tune:
