Time to get your weekend head on and leave the weeks stress behind. These two tracks will be sure to blow the cobwebs away.

Surgeon - A1 Untitled [Dynamic tension, 2005]
Mr Surgeon on his own label, throwing a fit and transforming any floor into a burning chaos of frenzy. Heavy goods from the Klonk EP. Can you take it?
Jeff Samuel - Fire (Claude Vonstroke 'like fiyaa' mix) [Poker flat, 2007]
Samuel together with Claude, dirtyness ensues. Bleepy and pushy track that's gonna make you wanna move. Together with this and the original you also get a St Sebastain remix thrown in the package.
Avus - Furry hat [Border community, 2007]
Funny title, but there is nothing funny about this tune. It's all serious business with avus' glistening and hyper tense Border-techno. Sailing quickly upstream in cold water, rainbows all around with the green grass on the shores moist with morning dew. Scott Edwards should be well pleased with this EP. The B side is a real jacking stomper called Spnkr. Hook yourself up!
A bit of a non standard post here, but two enjoyable tracks that I quite like.
The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance (feat. Fatlip) [Virgin, 2007]
Chem bros' with a pure fun track. Lyrics rock and the beats are solid and catchy. All round head-noddin' vibes. On their upcoming (2nd July) album, "We are the night". Fun facts about salmon to boot!
Death Cab For Cutie - All is Full of Love [Barsuk, 2002]
From their Stability EP. Don't hate ;-)
Back to work, another monday. I hope this track will cheer you up.
Beroshima - Horizon [Cocoon, 2007]
Warning, warning - Huge track ahead! Beroshima/Frank Müller, in the game since 1994 can still wreck dancefloors to little specks of dust. Here he brings out the big guns on Cocoon, leaving you barely standing among the debris. Heavy weight and brutal, Horizon smashes everything in its path to bits. Just one teensy pevee though, extend it another few good minutes and I'd be even more up in flames about this. Pig & Dan arranges the flip remix, but I haven't heard it.
Edit: Be sure to visit the superb blog The ill-ec-tro-nic and pick up the awesome track: M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade Feat Laurie Anderson - O Superman. I simply can't stop listening to it! But I do agree with The Langer that it really should've been made into some 12 min+ monster.
Aril Brikha - Kept within [Soundscape/Peacefrog, 2007]
Aril Brikha has his very first full length out. "Ex Machina" is its title, Soundscape (Japan) / Peacefrog the labels. Ex Machina is packed with Aril's signature sound, plenty of chunky melodies with beats packing some punch to match, at times a bit trancy. The styles of the tracks vary from calm, chillout and loungy stuff to more dancefloor variants. 'Kept within' is a typical Brikha joint with lush synthwork and a driving bass.
Happy Midsummer!
Pan/Tone - Orient Express [Cereal/killers, 2007]
Cereal/Killers specializing in split twelves, here with big names such as Metope, Ada and Pan/Tone. All delivering their ruffled take on techno. This track has it's fair share of lows and highs, bass kicking in at around 3:40.
Sean Palm - Where's my dongle [Railyard, 2007]
US label owner and artist Sean Palm lets loose some wicked minimal. Quality song that shares that melodic and calmer touch as can be felt in Joel Mull's "Begun the end has" (which was released on the same label, by the way). Mighty things...
