Whilst we were in Paris last month the wonderful team at Findspire filmed us playing a live lesson in their studio and also captured some of Tom and Martin’s oh-so-natural ‘on-camera’ chat vibes with a filmed interview to accompany it.

We recorded full versions of ‘Elliptic‘, ‘Echo In‘ and ‘On Your Own Ten Toes‘.

Check out this deep and deliciously-stomping remix of Dilate’s ‘Vertical‘ by French producer Gordon (as premiered on The Drone last Monday). We’re lucky to have him performing with us at our Paris show on Thursday:

Also, the bun-scuncingly tuncing Olerton remix of ‘Glass Lake‘ is now available to buy from all the usual places, including but not limited to the Vessels Bandcamp.

If you like it deep and weird then this may just tickle your schnitzel…

…similarly the wattle-shaking Snasen remix of ‘Elliptic‘ is now also on sale on our Bandcamp – If you’ve listened to ‘Elliptic’ but often thought that the end of it never felt enough like the denouement of an eighties cop movie, then this is probably for you…

… in other news Lee went and made a corking Vessels remix of ‘Deep Field‘ by Barcelona based Rob Clouth, which has made it onto the 12″ vinyl release of the tune, out on the Berlin-based Leisure System label.

We’ve been given the honour of creating a mix for Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel series which dropped today. We’ve packed the hour long mixtape to the sonic rafters with some of our favourite tunes from the last few years, including a belter from the wonderful Alex Banks (who we’re playing with in London next week) and the cracking debut single from our Lee’s Jinjé project, ‘Amya‘ (which is available to remix on the Ninja Jamm app with a remix competition to boot). Get your ears wet, Jebbers!

We’re in June so our trio of shows in London, Paris and Best Kept Secret (NL) festival are a mere blink of an eye away.

In other live news, our outdoor summer party slots are shaping up nicely, with appearances at Latitude, Dancity, Rock Island and Electric Fields the latest additions. Here are all of the shows, see you down the front, or at the sides, or near the middle. Might struggle to see you if you’re at the back though, but we won’t love you any less.
