Synchronize vinyl

DFA present the DJ edition of Discodeine's superlative collaboration with brandy snap-esque Pulp front man Jarvis Cocker, with a collector's edition 10 inch from Gallic types DIRTY to follow shortly adorned in limited edition spectral art. Much like Bot'ox impressed last year with the short but sweet "Blue Steel", this heavily orchestral disco thump of "Synchronize" is that rare beast: a slice of electronic bliss that, thanks to the vocal involvement of Cocker, could feasibly trouble the dominance of Cowell and co in the pop charts as well as work wonderment on the more discerning dancefloors. Hopefully the forthcoming Discodeine album, set for release in the first few weeks of next year will provide more of the same! The accompanying clutch of remixes from Jam Factory present yet more evidence of the Disco Bloodbath empire growing with ominous ease, as Dan Beaumont and Ben Rymer deliver a pitch perfect example of stripped back warehouse throb that has no doubt been road tested to great effect at the legendary monthly parties.
