Grab your shotguns... Zomby!

Two really contrasting tunes here from Zomby
The first is "Mercury's Rainbow", which recently featured on Martyn's sublime Fabric 50 Mix (which you should check out). The song plays out as if you've just shot into space in some future sci-fi adventure. And all the buttons and controls are sounding off at once. And through the g-force and adrenaline, all you can make out is the faint sound of this Zomby tune. Which basically sums up the video aswell!
The video is also probably the only one in existence that uses media-player visuals in a non-shit way, as it kinda suits what the song is trying to achieve. I can only link you to the YouTube page as embedding has been disabled for this tune (?)

Take a listen here...
Zomby - Mercury's Rainbow

The second Zomby tune is... well, it's a Skream remix. Ok. But that's a good thing... a very good thing. It's been doing the rounds for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. And since that now I've decided to post anything that takes my, and taRDyboys' fancy (rather than just strictly new unsigned acts, which was proving fruitless), I shall post it right here. And you shall listen. And maybe dance.



The original is off Zomby's album "Where Were You In '92?", which does exactly what it says on the tin and provides plenty of ravey synths and nostalgia for all you old folks to reminisce too. The remix, however, is switched up a notch courtesy of the London boy-wonder Skream. And he's done a mighty fine job of it too. If you've seen him DJ at all over the last year you'll probably have heard it. In fact, if you can find your own arse with your hands you've probably already heard it anyway. But basically, it's mighty fine dance music at it's best. It also has a brilliant name... 'Skream's I Was In Infant School, Where Were You In '92 Remix'.

Turn it UP!
