Do you ever feel like the weekends are actually reality, and the working week is just like a bad dream in between? Except the weekends have a slightly hazy, dream-like quality to them. Where did this week go?

It’s Friday already, and we’re galavanting off to Shoreditch to see our chums Stopmakingme and Jac The Disco play at East Village tonight alongside Matt Walsh. Yay! Tomorrow there’s a tonne of stuff going on; Slutty Fringe are hosting Filthy Dukes and Silver Columns at 93 Feet East, Village Underground is the venue for the much-anticipated 2020 Soundsystem 2020 Vision party, curly-haired vixen Hannah Holland is playing with Off Modern‘s Nasty McQuaid at Apocalypso at Queen of Hoxton, and Flying Lotus is playing for Brainfeeder at my favourite car park, Hearn Street.

Stopmakingme’s latest mix for Phantasy reminds us of how great he is:

There were so many great tracks this week I found it hard to filter, but here are my top seven, with the view to keeping it a little varied in terms of tone and subgenre.
Eli Escobar – Love Thing Part 2 (DJ Mehdi Club Edit)
Midnight Magic – Beam Me Up (Jacques Renault Remix)
Cassette Jam – Speed of Light (Filthy Dukes Dub)
Goldfrapp – Believer (Little Loud Remix) Little Loud is certainly one to watch – check his remixes of Health and Yeasayer.
Retro Grade – Pulsar
Simian Mobile Disco – Nerve Salad
Chilly Gonzales – I Am Europe (Djedjotronic Remix)
OR all at once: Woody XX

BONUS: Luke Million – Arnold
Luke Million is Luke Godson, better known as the keyboardist from The Swiss. Arnie on a workout tip.

Give The Man some of your money this week for Tape to Tape‘s latest; the stunningly beautiful Pure and Easy EP on Relish Recordings. Including a remix from Black Strobe. Consistently excellent.
