Grosvenor are favourite of Hot Chip. Shit, I haven’t really got a lot else to say about them - my mind has gone blank
Cleon is one of France’s most respected DJs. He’s an icon in the dance battle circuits in which he’s been playing for several years. A passionate digger, he owns an impressive collection of rare soul, funk, hip-hop, as well as Afro-beat and disco records. Here this instrumental track taken from the “DJ Suspect - Nervous Breakdown” EP is a stormer with as you expected, bongos. Relive the old school.

Hadouken are a band based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The band formed after James Smith and Daniel “Pilau” Rice met at Leeds University, where they set up their own Label, Surface Noise Records [1] After forming the label, Smith began writing and demoing the first Hadouken! tracks. In February 2007 Hadouken! released a two song vinyl with the song “That Boy That Girl“, which gained popularity after the video, directed by friend Bob Harlow, made it onto MTV2.[2]
After releasing their 12-track mixtape Not Here to Please You on November 12, 2007 featuring originals and remixes, the band returned to the studio to complete their debut album, Music for an Accelerated Culture, which is to feature nine new songs as well as the single “Liquid Lives“.[3][4]
The band’s name comes from a special move—a throwing fireball attack called “the Hadouken“—in the Street Fighter video game.

“Oxia blows a fresh wind into the Goodlife stamp with his latest 12inch “Lost Memory”. Time flies, it’s already from 2004 that we saw an Oxia release on his own Goodlife imprint.
Over those three years Olivier Raymond created some smashing & big selling releases on Kompakt, Tsuba, Confused, Notorious Elektro etc. No doubt that “Lost Memory” & “12 Years later” on the flipside, will keep you hot during the upcoming winter. It’s obvious Oxia puts back the groove into the minimal resulting into two dancefloor killers. As ever Oxia his sixth sense for melody is very audible, it just sucks you in.
Both tracks have an hypnotic feel to it, where the plural breaks in “Lost Memory” cause an ever bigger dance mania”.

YSI, yes, it’s not the best, but we try to offer zShare on big tracks, trouble is, we can’t afford a hosting solution that lets us host the files directly…
