Lend your ears to Little Boots, of Blackpool, London, who’s one solitary track is very impressive and, dare I say, an early contender for song of the year? The must have song right now? We think so! The song is ‘Stuck on Repeat’, produced by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, with vocals by one Victoria Hesketh, or Little Boots, formerly one-third of hip electro-pop indie rockers Dead Disco:

Little Boots reached out to us at the same time our friends at Big Stereo blogged the original mix, that’s been receiving gushing responses. But, Missingtoof, we held back, because the files that reached us were an unacceptable 96kbps, but now—no less than one dozen emails & forwarded contacts later—we are happy to have Little Boots, as it should be heard, in glorious 320kpbs audio. If you downloaded it before somewhere else, download it again. 96kbps is a scourge on blogtown.
Here’s another Dub mix that’s similar to the original, but just different enough for y’all to notice. Take yr pick:

The Little Boots project may prompt questions about the state of Dead Disco. Are they no more? Are they disbanded? It’s hard to say, after Little Boots departure and a departure from 679 Recordings, Dead Disco may be down, but not necessary out. Last year’s Dead Disco hit ‘You’re Out’, with its Frankmusik remix, was one of our favorite tracks—you can download it over here. Also enjoy these other remixes from Dead Disco’s 2007 ep ‘You’re Out’ (with Victoria included). Remixes courtesy of Londoner Rufaust:

Little Boots’ ‘Stuck on Repeat’ will be released on white label wax in approximately four weeks. Sit tight at the edge of the chair. A full LP is to follow, produced by Greg Kurstin of L.A. indie rock outfit The Bird & the Bee and jazzy alt. rocker outfit Geggy Tah. Good things are coming.
