Johnny Jewel hits the books and hand picked 10 tracks from the italians do it better back catalog for the ‘Solid Gold’ compilation.

You can take your dabble into the battling bottin on ‘No Static’, the delish swed duo tiedye and ‘Nothing Else Matters’ or galatic ‘laid pop from Solange with ‘Robots are Dub American’.

If there was ever a soundtrack for a trip through the burbs and into the countryside (or just down for disco glory holes) then the ‘Solid Gold’ comp would have to saddle up there close to #1…

Bottin – No Static 192

Solange – Robots are Dub American 192

A mid week inbox update for you, music sent in to me which I'm thankful for. First off is the Edwin van Cleef remix of Solange. A really clean electro remix track, reminds me slightly of the sharp sounds that Lifelike or Keenhouse uses. Second is a new track from We Plants Are Happy Plants, slightly different from the last track I posted from him Apollo, which if that's what you're looking for that track is kind of unique from his other stuff. This track is much more club and upbeat. And lastly, the KiD COLA remix of Lego Johnson. The sounds in the intro of the track really remind me of something, it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. I want to say Justice, but I know that's wrong. Great track.
