The dance duo talk about working with Yoko Ono, plus there's music from Portland noise poppers Hockey
This week, we kick off with chat from Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, better known as dance duo Basement Jaxx. The boys return later this month with their fifth album, Scars, and Alex Needham spoke to them about get togethering with Yoko Ono, why Brixton is losing its edge and how they have managed to sustain a working relationship for 15 years.
Fast forward to Singles Club and Paul MacInnes is joined by Rosie Swash and Michael Hann to discuss the excellent in new music. There's dippy funk pop from the Phenomenal Handclap Band's 15 to 20, another slab of noise pop from LA duo No Age's single Losing Feeling, and Battles singer Tyondai Braxton offers a bonkers 10 minute solo constitution.
There's more chat with Portland's Hockey, the band behind summer smash* Too Fake. They're just about to release their first appearance album, Mind Chaos, and Rosie finds out their favourite live experiences, which include a flesh hanging party. Really.
Paul Lester signs off with Feature With No Name, in which he recalls the Swedish dream pop radical the Radio Dept.
So that's your lot. Tell us what you think of this week's show, guests and music, while we play you out with an exclusive version of Hockey's Song Away, performed live just for you.
*By "smash" we really mean, "You'll likely hear this and go 'Oh, I've heard this song before, didn't know it was by Hockey'".
