Stereo Selections - Friday 11th September

This week's stereo has had all sorts on the go, sublime eighties pop, rip roaring indie disco and thrilling new music from heavyweights Disclosure and Lana Del Rey.

Tame Impala 'Let It Happen (Soulwax Remix) 

If anyone were to grapple with the inners of Tame Impala's alternate universe and rearrange the axis on which it rotates you'd show absolute confidence towards a trio formerly referred to as The Fucking Dewaele Brothers. 

More infamously known as Soulwax, the trio have dethroned Haim from Kevin Parker's remixathon with the funkiest and chunkiest bass line you've ever heard in this nine minute rework of the trippy disco punch up.

Disclosure ft Lion Babe 'Hourglass'

Disclosure's new album draws ever nearer, and this latest slinky house groove has ratcheted our anticipation even further, bolstered by a vocal turn from Lion Babe.

The brothers are also confirmed to perform on the first Jools Holland show of the new series on September 18th, followed by a turn in the Radio 1 Live Lounge before ther album, titled Caracal, comes out on Friday September 25th.

Lana Del Rey 'Music To Watch Boys To'

Since Zane Lowe liberated 'Music To Watch Boys To' from Lana's garden of zen, as softly as demonstrated on a fabric conditioner advert, it's been rubbing up against our hard-working souls all week.

In all seriousness, the song, taken from forthcoming album Honeymoon, paints Lana at her absolute best. Gliding graciously through a bed of orchestral strings, this could be buried in a time capsule and still be appreciated all the same thousands of years later.

The Libertines 'Heart Of The Matter'

Arriving perceivably as some sort of consolation for the delay of Anthems For Doomed Youth, 'Heart Of The Matter' has a distinct authenticity of the old Libertines about it. 

Doherty harks about the bruising of the band from down the years, "With all the battering it's taken, i'm surprised it's still ticking". But it is and that's what's important, because The Libertines appear as stronger as ever - even if they didn't quite manage to complete their Camden release show on Thursday.

Peter Gabriel 'Sledgehammer'

We're out with a classic this week, a stone cold anthem form the eighties. News of former Genesis member Peter Gabriel getting the Outstanding Achievement Award from The UK Festival Awards led us to this killer groove. Nearly thirty years on the video and horns still get us going wild.
