With over a decade of remixing under his drive belts, production credits for the likes of MIA and the careers of HervĂ© and Sinden owed in part to his label boss persona, Jesse Rose has impeccable credentials. This ‘fidget house’ (his flippant definition) classic has got the best appropriation of a track by a blind, homeless street musician that dressed like Thor since Mr Scruff (‘Night At The Dogs’ ravages Moondog’s ‘Lament’). Where Jesse has certainly not forgotten his club roots, he’s also shown his skills as a producer of songs with ‘Miss Taker’ featuring rising star David E Sugar. And if that isn’t enough Hot Chip are back on their best “C-A-S-I-O P-O-K-E” form, this time spelling out “R-O-S-E” over and over on dub funk single ‘Forget My Name’, making two appearances overall for that all-important celeb endorsement..www.lafriendly.com

Former Death From Above 1979 bassist Jesse Keeler and producer Al-P's second album is reportedly "really different" from 2006's The Looks, according to Keeler.

Fist Of God doesn't yet have a release date or track list, but it will include "Bounce," a collaborative single MSTRKRFT released with N.O.R.E. in October. The disc also includes guest appearances from Ghostface Killah, E-40, Freeway, Lil' Mo and John Legend. 

"We wanted to make a record that was more ideologically like a throwback to when rap and R&B production was old school; the line between that and dance was very blurry," Keeler told Billboard.com. "We knew people were gonna hate, because idiots don't like music because they like listening to it.

"They use it as a way of defining who they are. When it changes, it leaves them in a tough spot — 'I can't use this to create my identity anymore' — and their reaction is negative."...www.chartattack.com
