THE SITUATION IS STILL REAL

For those of you with kids. Or are just messy eaters. Get this bib that shows how much you love The Dark Esquire's SITUATION single.

Zak B loves the SITUATION so much he remixed it into a bass wobbling dancefloor anthem. Not sure if he's got a bib but he's sure got some skills.

***EXCLUSIVE*** The Dark Esquire - Situation (Zak B. Remix)

It reminds me of New Orders CONFUSION and I think Arthur Baker in New York in 1986 would have played this to Bernard and said "Bernie - the situation is real".

Last few 12" copies are available from here:

This will be the last London gig before their H.A.L. tour in April so be sure to pop down.

A fire is coming

Off please. Thanks.

PARALLELS

This week the mighty Parallels release some of their synthetic italo disco hyper space machine music into the world.

Firstly, their debut single Ultralight has been retwisted and refocused and reversioned and remixed by three of Thisisnotanexit's finest: Detachments, The Dark Esquire and Club Silencio. Detachments take the track into a strange alien worldly warehouse rave soundtracked by a battle between Adonis and Martyn - techno vs. dubstep - No Way Back vs. Megadrive Generation - who will win. Totally dark and totally twisted. The Dark Esquire digs out his copy of The Human Leagues DARE and gives Martin Rushent a call.

"You know that track Don't You Want Me?"

PAUSE

"Well I've beaten it"

It's a future space disco 80s duet classic. Seriously. It makes me want to get my Soft Cell and Heaven 17 records out and shout "This ain't no fascist groove thing" out of the window.

Club Silencio gets on the fax to MK and goes all deep house vs. MK 1990 on Holly Dodson vocals. Deepness. As debuted on the last Diesel Show I did.

£2.99? Surely worth every penny.

Detachments: Are you a fan?

Are you a fan of Detachments? You should be. You can pledge your allegiance via the below link which will take you to the bands fan page.

And then once you're a fan you should also ask all your friends to become fans. And get them to tell their friends to become fans. And then you will simply have to ask how deep is the rabbit hole?
