Lisbon
Third Man
Looking across the Tejo strait in Lisbon, there's a giant Jesus on a plinth, like in Rio. The visual echo is like looking halfway round the world in a moment. Space and intimacy: it's all here too. Great track.
Dervish Angel (radio edit)
TOOB
Sweet pop harmonies over a slow-burning electro groove - sweet and sinister all at once. Will elasticate your hips to uncanny effect, unless you're uncannily square.
Robot Strut Boost Side 1
Trippy Disco
Spacey yet funky, shiny but human: the Robot Strut is an italo disco phenomenon.
AE Substrate
Alex Smoke
Towards the inner-existence end of the spectrum, this blinding - Ten Tracks exclusive - Alex Smoke track sounds like (office poll): Aphex's mobile ringtone, Laserquest, being really high. Properly edgy, but still fun.
Afanc
TVO
Noisy afro-sounds reminiscent of the brilliant David Byrne and Brian Eno collaboration My Life In the Bush of Ghosts, with a soul and techno overtone. If you don't feel this, sharpen up!
Discopia (10 trax edit)
The Niallist
Exclusive Ten Tracks extended mix of this creepy dancefloor gem.
Offline Contact
The Happy Particles
'Offline Contact' is clearly a reference to sex. Gentle, touchy-feely, 'oh, you're real!' sex. And accordingly, The Happy Particles have sound-tracked exactly that.
Gone, Away...
Jasper TX
Considered guitar track-crafting is a long-standing art form; to do it well, without a hint of cliché (as here), is a skill apart.
Little Hands
Yasushi Yoshida
Slow thoughtful piano melody: like the gaps in conversation where you know you don't have to say anything - it's sweet just as it is.
