Guilt(y) Pleasures
Another amazing remix from Pantha Du Prince dropped into my inbox last week. This time he turns his talents to Indie popsters The Long Blondes. To be honest I don't think I've ever heard any of their records but I'm very tempted to check their material after hearing this.As usual Pantha Du Prince adds his classic synth washes and melodic structure which creates a beautiful fusion with the hushed ethereal vocals touches.
This mix is definitely as good if not better than his Animal Collective mix which we posted a few weeks ago. Taken from the album 'Couples', 'Guilt' will be released as a single on the 26th of May. Buy

Endangered Species
Following on form RAW's Panda Bear post (Isn't that just the greatest LP), we had a comment from Dan expressing the wonderous virtues of a Pantha Du Prince remix of Animal Collective (of which Panda Bear is a member).Well I can gladly say that I have indeed sought out said remix and it is indeed wonderous. So I present it to you now. 10 minutes of deep, deep Techno in the typical Pantha Du Prince style. Exquisite.

Prince Lawrence
It struck me as strange that Pantha Du Prince's 'The Bliss' came out right at the start of this year yet it was only brought to my attention by a friend a couple of weeks ago and then a few days later Resident Advisor decided to review it. Anyhow, that will be of little consequence to most of you and I suspect guess you'll either already be well-versed with it's subtle percussion and playful, almost childlike, melodies or you'll enjoy the experience of hearing them afresh. It's one of those albums that makes delightful home listening and would also work well in a bar or on more discerning dancefloors - perhaps not so much at peak time but certainly as things mellowed off towards the end of the night leaving the crowd to shuffle along nicely in a haze of contentment.Pantha Du Prince - Asha // Dial
The Bliss came out on Dial records, a label that's been a around a good few years now and I've been a fan of one of its co-founder's, Lawrence, for quite a while. As well as his Lawrence guise, he records under his own name as well as that of Sten and his releases are always of high quality and well worth checking out.Lawrence - Swap // Ladomat2000 / NovaMute
