Sounds: Soulwax: Most of The Remixes (Parlophone)

Text Alif Omar Not many can bastardise pop as well as Soulwax and this 2 CD opus is no exception – take Sugababes’ ‘Round Round’ for example. Eschewing the standard protocol of modifying rock songs into pop-dance, here they’ve turned that bright idea on its head and made Sugababes an all-girls indie band.

Review

DJ Vadim: The Soundcatcher Extras (BBE)

Text Alif Omar If the album’s name sounds familiar to you, that’s because you probably already bought it last year. The Soundcatcher Extras is Vadim’s supplementary material to the album of the same name, hence ‘extras’. But unlike most re-releases, this one is actually worth the dough.
