Something we’ve been looking forward to for a while, Surkin’s debut album is finally with us on 7 November, out on Marble (Surkin being one of the label founders, alongside Para One and Bobmo, after Institubes closed down). It’s described as ‘a joyous, juvenile, body-moving record, based on the idea of a radio station called Fireworks FM, set up in Silver Springs.’ Incorporating Surkin’s take on a fictional America in the eighties, and filled with a mixture of club bangers and ‘emotional, mid-tempo cuts.’ They’ve given us a taster below:

This week’s Sound Pellegrino podcast brought all sorts of news, especially from this week’s visitors High Powered Boys (Surkin and Bobmo). Their Udon/Work EP is out now (check the Tom Trago remix of Work in particular) on the Sound Pellegrino label, which also announced that iconic mothership Institubes is to close down (wow, pretty shocking to say the least).

Surkin and Bobmo have joined forces with Para One on a new label, Marble, and they gave the podcast a little sample of some of the sounds to be released in the coming months. Watch out for first label release Marble Anthem by Marble Players, out in April, followed by a track by Sound Pellegrino boss Teki Latex and Para One, then the next High Powered Boys single Girlie. Das Glow and Canblaster also to come.

Bring It

Bobmo‘s releasing his new EP Bring It on the mighty Insititubes (on Beatport now, everywhere else 14 September) and we’ve been enjoying his September mix all weekend. Including old-school greats such as Orange Lemon Dreams of Santa Anna, (which reminds me of my mother because it samples 70s The Mexican by Babe Ruth, even though this version was released in 1988 and produced by Todd Terry) and our sexy-time friends Soul Clap.

We’ve been keeping an eye on Bobmo for a while, both as one half of High Powered Boys with equally knock-kneed fellow French yout’ Surkin, and on his own productions, which apparently started when he discovered the combination of Napster, his own rapping, and his home Playstation back while he was still at school. And that wasn’t eons ago – Hugues Rey is still only 17 and living in Bordeaux.

In 2007 it all came together to make Let’s Go Bobmo! which was played out by everyone who was anyone – Busy P, Diplo and Justice to name but a few. He toured, remixed, re-released, got thrown out of Berlin nightclubs, and cemented himself as the poster boy for quintessential French electro.

The key to his success? He’s just so talented. He knows everything, he draws on influences from hip hop, disco, electro, rock, makes records that seem fresh despite numerous samples and references, and his mixing is smooth beyond belief. See what we mean with his September mix.
