Hannah Holland - Banshee
Banshee, by BuggedOut and Trailer Trash's Hannah Holland, London's queen of batty bass is a slinky, knowing nod to rave - but not as you knew it - with a deeper, more overwhelming Mike Monday mix too, all released on Playtime.
And what is Playtime? For the press it was "one of the best labels to come out of 2005" (DJ), or "the label of the moment" (One Week to Live), and the record label that bought you Mike Monday's debut, Smorgasbord, an IDJ album of the year and a "classic" (One Week to Live). For clubbers it was the first night to bring Claude von Stroke and Abe Duque to the UK - "one of clubland's finest inventions" (DJ) and "the last mixed club left standing" (TNT).
But mainly it was a bit of wonky fun - one of few labels of its time waving the flag for wonkier electronic music. So as it relaunches toward the end of 2008 look out for off-kilter new raves and remixes from Hannah Holland, Riva Starr, a little mechnical jazz from Germany's Andre Crom, Luke Solomon, Worthy and Yankee Zulu, the Lost Cowboy, and our original Big Daddy and of course Mike Monday who headlined the relaunch of the club at the end of September 2008 at the newly-returned-to-house Bar Rumba (and whose new album, out now, manages to be both wonky and wonderfully serious.)

Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
