It struck me the other day that less really is more. It’s also been my mantra these past couple of weeks “clean living is good”. Here at TYP HQ we focus a lot on increasing the payload; we like to keep adding, topping up, and going a little bit further. But there needs to be balance. Space and room to breath and think; regain focus and sharpen your senses.
Yacht “Don’t Fight The Darnkess” (DFA)
I’ve been trying to find a way to describe this track by uber-band, Yacht and i think Rolling Stone said it best with “Precisely programmed digital ear candy”. Signed to James Murphy’s cult label, DFA, it isn’t any surprise that i should now find myself obsessed with their output. Take the time to discover Yacht for yourselves.
Thanks to Regnsky for this.
A few good things came out of last night’s trip to the O2 to see Si and Hal performing with Dizzee Rascal
1. working out that if you tell the O2 car park attendants you’re off to the cinema you can bypass the hefty £25 parking fee and gaining access to the much more reasonable £3 per two-hour ‘other car-park’; 2. seeing Lilly Allen start a fight in the audience by pointing out her boyfriend’s location to a wearily pissed bunch of Kent idiots, and 3. hearing this classic between the live sets;
Shy FX’s superb remix of The Terrorist ‘The Chopper’ has long been in the record box – pre-digital pre-CD – and will now be making a well deserved comeback in all TYP DJ sets where applicable (open minded good-times audience need only apply)
In blog world we’re a bit late on this one but none the less it’s still good for glory. New from UK producer duo, SuperMal – whose tracks and remixes are regularly supported by the likes of Grum, Fear of Tigers and Russ Chimes – is this super-synth Frenchfest remix of Dada ft. The Other ‘Majestic’. Frenchmen take cover, this one’s incoming straight from across the channel and it’s gonna blow!
We of course first came across the pair when they asked to collaborate with Phonat on the now widely favoured ‘Pixelated‘.

Sidney Samson exploded into the tuneiverse last year with the monster anthem, ‘Riverside’, racking up no less than 6.5 million plays on Youtube. Now Sidney is back, this time via CR2 Records, with something new albeit still very Dutch. Stand-alone, ‘Shut Up & Let It Go’ featuring Lady Bee has all the hallmarks of Sidney Samson’s own brand of ‘dirty-dutch’ house, so for fans of this movement it’s twice the bunce that it should also have been remixed by fellow Dutch filth peddler, Chuckie. The TYP pick of the bunch though has to be the sharper re-rub from Bass Kleph. Check it..

Big respect to Example and his band for their Radio One live lounge performance including an awesome cover of Kesha Tik Tok. I was music director for this gig and worked with the band on the arrangements and rehearsals, but couldn’t make it to the gig as I was at MIDEM. But they did really well and rocked the show!
