Everything Everything's latest single, My Keys Your Boyfriend (MY KZ UR BF: potato, potata), has been remixed by Delphic and Portmanteau and now both are available to download for free.

Delphic's take on the single deviates most from the original track, creating a strikingly hypnotic, outer-worldly musical experience that seems fit for falling asleep to. I say this because it's a little on the long side for a remix that removes itself from the lyrics of the mother track to this extent, and becomes what I call an 'unconscious' listen. Though if you fight the temptation to skip to the end (or fall asleep) and apply your listening you will get an acknowledgment of the beauty in its construction and falling asleep to it should be a sanctified experience. Delphic are currently on the Kitsune Maison Tour and will be supporting Bloc Party in Japan come November.

Portmanteau's remix is my favourite, perhaps for it's closeness to the mother track lyrically, perhaps for it's 5 minutes 23 seconds: the perfect time lapse. This is an easy listen, it has vocals from both verse and chorus, and isn't too much of the same. I'll leave you to make your minds up on this one: all I'll advise is definitely download them! Everything Everything, Delphic, and Portmanteau are all burgeoning talents in their own rights so catch these free mp3's while you still can. Portmanteau are at present unsigned but have worked with/played alongside some great talent including Metronomy, Kap Bambino, My Tiger My Timing and Kosheen.

Duck Sauce - aNYway

It's time. It's time to put the "oogie in your boogie" and the "unky in your funk": DUCK SAUCE are soon to unleash their first single on Data Records.

For those of you who have retreated underneath the proverbial rock in the past two months, Duck Sauce are super-duo Armand Van Helden and A-Track (Fool's Gold). As always with such "super groups", fans were posting on forums with fervid anticipation when the rumours of a collab. came about: then, their sweaty brows were satisfied on release of the knowledge that yes, it was happening.

And now, it is exactly a week away from release. I doubt there's a fan out there who has yet to see Duck Sauce's aNYway video, and I also doubt aNYway hasn't hustled on your ear drums yet having been picked up, dropped and pushed by many a mainstream DJ (Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Zane Lowe...), but does it deliver?

Duck Sauce have undoubtedly delivered a disco anthem of 2009 here, one that elicits a sometimes undeniable urge to throw a move or two even in the souls doused in litres of apathy. aNYway is unapologetically 1970's but it is saved from being passé: it feels current and likable. The song does come attached with a heavy burden of 'cheese' and almost too much oogie in your boogie to gulp down, and whilst this is the nature of the genre, it seems somewhat out of place as an October release in the UK. The track is big but not a versatile listen, and now the winds and rain have closed in on the nation I think it's one that should be kept inside the club and out of car sound systems and headphones that leak to the point of not needing your own (a personal itch).

However, you can pre-order the CD Single here at Ministry of Sound and at just £1.99 it is definitely worth adding to your collection: better still, you get free delivery.
