'Made In The Dark' will be formally released on Monday 4^th February 2008 through EMI.

During lunch today I went on a mission to buy some haggis to celebrate Rabbie Burns Nicht the nicht and on my way back form the butchers none other than Edith Bowman was playing Benga & Coki "Night"!?!

Could this herald the end of Dubstep as we know it? Is this the first ever day time mainstream radio play of a dubstep track? First I hope not and second, probably? I've now heard this track three times on Radio 1, once on Zane Low which I guess is acceptable and now at 14:10 on Edith Bowman. Edith's no bad, she's a Scottish lass done good and she's probably got a half decent taste in music but the fact that Radio 1 have playlisted Benga is a bad sign. If I heard on day time again I might have to stop playing it altogether and I don't want to cause its one of the top tracks in my small collection.

If anyone at Radio 1 reads this... take dubstep off the daytime playlists please! It's just gonna get ruined. It's not that I want to keep it to myself but as soon as it goes overground its over and there's so much more to come. I know it.

Check out Benga & Coki "Night"

PS. Benga isn't the end if dubstep if anything he's the reincarnation

Possibly the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

The best bit comes when Tongy gets it.

To all those who are fans of Justice and of good quality disco cheddar you NEED to check this out!!


Apparently the story goes that Justice put together a mix for the Fabric mix CD series but Fabric turned round and rejected it!!??!! Now you can read into this any way you want. Maybe it was too ahead of the game for Fabric, Maybe they've been listening to so much minimal they forgot to how to smile or maybe (my theory) they listened to it and thought " shit this is really good disco, its like the best party mix I've heard all year! but wait LCD have a disco mix that's no where near as good as this." Although I'd still recommend it to anyone! "what if we piss LCD off because Justice are much better at disco than them, even though their from NY??", "We have to reject it!"

Now maybe this is the way it went down I don't know but its a great conspiracy. It could be that Fabric deliberately rejected it to get some press about their CDs. Its quite possible that fans would listen to the Justice mix and think " WOW thats amazing!! I wonder what the other Fabric CDs are like" I hope for Fabric's sake thats the way it went down. Its a bit of a coy marketing stunt but it's worked cause this mix is EVERYWHERE on the net.

Anyway, you have to listen to it so click here for the mp3. Or check out the Urb Blog for the tracklisting and a bit more info.

PS. So's we'r clear I'm a big fan of LCD Soundsystem, Justice and, as a subscription holder, the Fabric Mix CD's
