(These) New Jocks

Ex-goodbooks man Jocks goes all disco and lovely for this mix of Ou Est's next single. Arranging the vocal really rather well over the warm synths he makes the whole thing incredibly catchy though without really relying on any of the hooks of the original. Thanks to Bigstereo for getting this out earlier in the week.

Dragons

Canadian electro-pop outfit Dragonette have been doing the rounds since 2005 and have previously delighted my eardrums with the Ratcliffe remix of "I Get Around" late 2007/early 2008 time. It was pretty slick.

Now JOCKS (1/4 of th now defunct Good Books) have taken out "Fixin' To Frill" with Misters Deep and Disco and fused them into something altogether larger than the sum of its parts. A pleasurably deep piece that builds into a pulsing electro beast before calming and drifting away quietly, making room for a delightful song to replace it. I rather love it.
