HOT MIX ALERT: A live set from the court jesters of dance music recorded at Mutek in Montreal. "Minimal is from Germany and we are from France, we make a different kind of minimal. I hope you like it. It's a little bit strange." Nicolas Sfintescu and Ezechiel Pailhès ain't kidding. RA scribe Jacob Wright calls it "boozecore" and there probably isn't a better word for what Nôze create in their Parisian studio. Pan flutes, drunken trombones, barroom piano, all of it make it in to the duo's latest full-length, Songs on the Rocks. In this live set, taken from the recent Piknic Electronic party during Montreal's Mutek Festival, the first thing you'll notice is those voices. Sfintescu often sounds like he's channeling a vodka-soaked Tom Waits; Pailhès is like the prototypical French crooner that can't seem to keep his pants on. Throughout, they enact a stand-up comedy routine, beginning the festivities by welcoming a rain-soaked Montreal crowd, "Hello Ibiza!" Things only get funnier—and stranger—from there, including peons to washing your feet, piano-led showtunes and the always lovable closing number 'Remember Love'. It's a rough and ready trip with the campest duo in dance music working today. Sorry no tracklisting.

FRIDAY MARTINI MIX WINNER: The term Bardo Thodol (Tibetan: bardo "liminality"; thodol as "liberation"[1]), refers to Liberation through Hearing in the Intermediate State, and is a funerary text that describes, and intends to guide one through, the experiences of the consciousness after death during the interval known as bardo between death and rebirth. Spineshaker thinks this is a fitting name for a mix that is definitely other-worldly. Greg once again shows us he has done his homework - this is evident both in his track selection (Ricardo Villalobos, Jesse Rose, Deadmau5, and Pheek!) and in his great mixing skills. This mix is a wonderful cerebral journey into micro house. Tracklist: 1. BURIAL: Untrue {Hyperdub} * 2. PHEEK: Kamakura {Sunset Diskos} * 3. RICARDO VILLALOBOS: Mecker {Fabric (London)} * 4.
