Daft Punk win.

Guess who is BACK!? Indeed it's me. Having taken quite a lengthy vacation, Bleek is back at the Manifesto. A quick return post from me.

If you've been following me anywhere on the internet lately, you would have seen me raving about the return of the robots, Daft Punk. Anticipation is building around their scoring of Tron: Legacy and holy hell am I excited; I'm the same level of excited as I was when The Chemical Brothers announced Further, probably more actually.

What makes this more interesting? The rumours around their return to the live shows. Nothing has been announced, but instead the french duo decided to pop at a Phoenix concert. Completely unannounced.

Holy. Crap.

Looking Back > Going Forward #5 Remixes

It goes without saying, for every release there seems to follow the remixes, often on more than one occasion. Ok, if the track has taken a great initial reception, it only seems justifiable that a burgeoning package of remixes should follow.

But, as it is with all remixes, whilst some are momentous (often better than the original) there will be others that are the filler that haven't taken the amount of effort the original so rightly deserved.

Lee Coombs - Techfunk Podcast Episode #7

Heavily involved in the process of putting tracks together for his next album, tech-funk legend Lee Coombs is still finding the time to throw out the stellar mixes via his podcasts.

Seeing as everyone jumped at the old skool breaks he threw down on the last one, he's kept that broken flavour going with some heavy nuskool samplings.

With fresh stuff on the podcast from Uberzone, Vandal, the man himself and some pretty heavy electro & techno efforts from Miles Dyson & Popof, this one's proved to be yet another set for full rotation for the month ahead!
