Since George FitzGerald ’s “I Can Tell (By the Way You Move)” debuted during the Hotflush x Boiler Room Takeover with FitzGerald and Scuba , a few different rips have been floating around the interwebs. Now, following his signing to Domino Records , the UK house kingpin has shared a longer (though still not full) version of the single.

high regard clicks as Woolford seamlessly intertwines a fantastic piano chord progression, an industrial-yet-lively bass-line, and a haunting, echoing vocal sample.
It is also interesting to note that the cover artwork was done by the late abstract-expressionist painter, Mark Rothko .
Below is a 2-minute preview of the full product. I suggest you buy the track here , as it comes highly recommended .

In the past few hours, Kieran Hebden has spontaneously shared two new tracks. The first, “For These Times,” feels slightly reminiscent of his 2010 LP There Is Love In You with its ghostly emotive vocals paired alongside a dance-inspired beat. The other, a rework of Justin Timberlake ’s “Suit and Tie,” reflects Four Tet ’s more recent experimentation with tracks composed almost entirely of percussive intricacies. Timberlake’s chopped up vocals provide the only melody for the song, resting atop a twitchy, hi-hat groove.
“For These Times” appears on the Nonplus compilation, Think and Change- a “cognitive dancefloor therapy session.” The collection also features cuts from the likes of Martyn , Pearson Sound , and Scuba .

Why is this mix series titled “The Bootleg Tapes”? I have been pondering this question… Wikipedia describes a “bootleg recording” as “an audio or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority.” The article goes on to explain that “the process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging.” To be honest, I did not pay for any of these tracks, and some of them have not yet been released by their respective labels. I did not receive permission from the “copyright holders” to re-distribute this content, (as SoundCloud’s copyright infringement detection software pointed out to me when I tried unsuccessfully to upload the mix the first couple times.) In short, these mixes are conceived and distributed in contravention of music copyright law. For this reason, it would seem that the title of the series is fitting.
For this tenth episode, I put together a special two-hour mix comprised of an eclectic selection of house, techno, UK garage, and soul. Most of the tracks are contemporary, but you will hear a handful of classics from the likes of Fingers Inc., Rhythim Is Rhythim, Inner City, and Carl Craig.
Special thanks to the other Low-Life staff-writers who helped me find a great deal of this music–as well as to our followers.

This heavy interpretation of the contemporary techno movement is most appropriately introduced by the minds behind the Hotflush Soundcloud account:
“Breaking onto the scene in 2011 with a series of hand-stamped white label 12-inches, anonymous duo Dense & Pika re-emerge for their debut on Scuba ‘s Hotflush Recordings.
‘Crispy Duck,’ their 3-track take on modern underground techno, kicks off with a chugging A side, giving serious nods to Detroit and beyond with it’s deadly shuffle. On the flip, Dense and Pika claim the dancefloor with ‘Coil’ a tripped out up-tempo techno track, abound with hi-hats and fist-pumps, followed by ’31′, a rough and ready tune that melds 4/4 with acid and dub grooves. Doing their best to remain incognito, the duo are on course to make 2013 their year.”
Our favorite cut on the record is, without doubt, the title track.
Stream clips from the entire release, below;
Dense & Pika ‘s Crispy Duck EP will be out via Hotflush on December 3rd 2012.

Curated by Scuba, Hot Flush is a diamond in the rough with an impressive catalog of inspired UK dance music, despite its relatively young age.
Guy Andrew has a 12″ release (A1 “The Wait / B1 “Hands In Mine”) forthcoming on Hot Flush Recordings on May 28th.
“The Wait” is proper subterranean rave music. (I look forward to getting my hands on the full-length cut).
We will keep our ears open for more from Guy-
