I’ve been meaning to write about Riotous Rockers for a while, and there’s no time like the present as they’ve just released their December mixtape. Iain Bogg and Peter Case always combine elements of happy disco with just enough electro punch to turn a dancefloor into a dirty-yet-smily little sweat-pit. Catch them at ASBO every second Saturday of the month at our local The Lock Tavern.

Featuring beauts like Erol Alkan‘s rework of MGMT’s Congratulations, which most people agree is how that track would have sounded if it was made in heaven, and is so beautifully smooth it really deserves a post all to itself. It’s out now though (23 November) so hunt it down and play it a LOT. Also worth a mention is Serge Santiago‘s remix of Etienne De Crecy‘s No Brain (I highly recommend the Munk remix too). Actually, I could probably gush about every track on this list; Les Enfants, Commotion, Synchronize (Jarvis Cocker’s voice at it’s absolute best – purring like a kitten)… hear them all in one hour thanks to Riotous Rockers: it’s the perfect start to a post-Warehouse-Project week.
