Neon Nights Mixtape - Various Artists
DMC, the great minds behind Back To Mine and Under the Influence, unleash the first in their storming new series. A bone-shaking ode to the best of the current dance-rock underground, 'Neon Nights' boasts infamous tracks by established mainstreamers alongside choice buzz cuts from up-and-coming and unsigned acts who are primed to make a suitably dramatic, Ketamine-drenched impact upon unsuspecting stereos everywhere.
Included in this immaculate, finger-on-the-pulse collection is sassy chanteuse Kate Nash's infectious slab of brooding electro-pop, 'Caroline's a Victim', The Gossip's all-conquering disco anthem (and chart mainstay) 'Standing in the Way of Control', and Hadouken!'s psychotic, scene-assimilating amphetamine rush 'Tuning In'.
Louche, U2-bating synth-punks Bono Must Die deliver an apt statement of intent with 'We're Better Than You', and this confrontational line continues with the addition of Ali Love's 'K Hole (Sebastian Remix)', a witty sonic dissection of a long night lost to horse tranquilizers, brought to you by a man fresh from his winning collaboration with The Chemical Brothers on their latest smash 'Do It Again'.
'Neon Nights' celebrates everything fresh and vital about a burgeoning scene that boasts an excess of originality, talent, and - most important of all - tunes. Slinky-hipped and patently oozing sex appeal, razor-sharp offerings from the likes of Datarock, Crystal Castles, Tiger Force, Shitdisco, and New Young Pony Club expertly round off a compilation that hits all the right notes and has all the best moves.
