'Blackout' by The Whip has been dropped into the office like a rock onto a marooned fat kid who's lost his glasses and quite a tidy bit of electro-indie-pop it is too. The original version and the radio edit sound something like The Rapture being remixed by LCD Soundsystem, good time stuff that's a head-nodder and a toe-tapper. I likes it. Remixes across the three formats come from Ashley Beedle, Hadouken! and Graham Massey, who seems to be going remix keraaaayzee at the moment.
