How about Boys Noize? Been diggin' their album Oi Oi Oi lately.
Or maybe Crystal Castles...? Both fine groups, though I have no idea what they are like live, just like their music.

Was ironically listening to their remix of The Whip's "Divebomb" as I read your message!

Seriously, I think SMD would be a good choice, maybe someone like Leila or - this'd be cool - Autechre? Maybe someone old skool as well, like Altern8, for a mix of retro and new.

What about Homelife and Sisters of Transistors? That should keep you busy Graham!

Post by **markus** » 15 Apr 2008 13:48

The Sisters sounds like a good idea!

Seriously, Im biased towards Spooky, lets relive those Megadog days all over again.

I was thinking Ferry Corsten too, but can't see him doing it. He's that good I even named my business after one of his tracks, without knowing.

..........David Holmes?

Ferry Corsten would be brilliant, he obviously holds 808 in high regard due to his cover of Cubik, however he might cost a fair whack which could be a stumbling block?
