South Central with a limited 12" called Castle of Heroes on Young Turks (home to the well expensive Jack Penate first single). A-sides a techno trance cut up gurn- fest with pounding bass drum and repeating sythn action to make epileptics nervous. Enough drop outs, drum fills, tempo & pitch experimentations to keep the party popping. B-sides an electro pop song with cheeky sythn parts and and bass working the lower end to make ya ass wiggle. With power chords galore its got an 80's vibe to it . Like a slow New Order (Phil says Stereo MC's!!)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

South Central is a band and a production team. Amongst other things, they have remixed the likes of Shitdisco, Metronomy, The Maccabees, and even released their own cheeky bootleg cover of the Klaxons.
As a band, their debut 12” (‘Nothing Can Go Wrong’ on Art Goes Pop) was released at the end of 2006, and now they line up their second single, ‘Castle of Heroes’, on the Young Turks label (Jack Peñate, Kid Harpoon and The Barker Band).
This single, which is only available on 12”, apparently sees the great Irish poet W.B. Yeats providing the unlikely inspiration, with the secret Occult order he founded. This is a heady alchemy of guitar and schizophrenic electro - sounding a bit like a well-read robot having a séance on the dancefloor at Fabric.
The flipside, ‘The Dolls’, continues the theme taking its title from one of his poems. The accompanying video with its shock ending is really quite far removed in its cultural aesthetics. The video for this single cost £15,000, which quickly degenerated into pure debauchery.
