As the release of my new EP is imminent (Nov 7th) I’ve put together a special mix entitled ‘A Magpies, Maps & Moons Reader’, available on Solid Steel this Friday, to showcase it and the tracks that influenced me whilst I was making it.
I’m very pleased with this one (there are mix companions to the previous EPs in the Downloads section of this site) as I spent a long time doing special re-edits and remixes on some tracks. It also contains a couple the premiers of tracks by Pepe Deluxé and 2econd Class Citizen from their respective albums, both due next year.
If you like what you hear you can pre-order the EP here.
Solid Steel Radio Show 28/10/2011 Part 1 + 2 – DJ Food by Ninja Tune
Yeah, I know the reason… that was more a statement of frustration than a question, sorry.
It’s to do with them selling domestic copies over there, it’s an incentive to buy homegrown product otherwise they find buyers wait for imports which aren’t much more expensive than the regular versions. If you load them with extras then they’re more likely to sell in their own territory, it’s been a practice for some time now.
Why is it that Japan still gets all the extra bits… ?
Guess I’ll need to try and track that version down.. thanks for the mix Kev, btw!
itunes NZ have taken it down.
the mix CD is the type of thing I’d get signed if i “witnessed” you live again… then i’d keep it next to my “do androids dream…UNKLE” cd
Matt – I have Ninja looking into that
Dead Air – Dec 3rd for the album release in Japan, two extra tracks plus a mix CD at selected independent stores
It’s in Japan in november… btw Kev, when’s the LP out in J-Pan? Gotta get on to order it…
Magpies is still not available (except as a pre-order) from the Ninja Tune website, so the dates are right (unless you’re lucky enough to be in NZ, I guess). From my email confirmation for my pre-order of Magpies:
Delivery
1x Magpies, Maps and Moons (DJ Food) — 12″
Your order contains pre-order items and will be shipped for delivery on 2011-11-07.
(same goes for the MP3 version)
Roll on Friday!
Oh yes, looking forward to this!
Wait, Magpies isn’t out yet? It’s available at the NZ itunes store already. Grabbed it last night. Killer EP, but you may want to check that release date with itunes.
