Mark your calendars for what will be a joyous day, when the forces of Frenchmen (and Frenchwoman) The Hacker and Miss Kittin come together once more! Collectively known as Miss Kittin & The Hacker, the pair have released EPs periodically since 1996, however it was their 2001 full length, the descriptively titled, ‘First Album’ that sank and arrow into the hearts of so many techno fans! That sexy techno record (which some even called ‘electroclash’, but, hey, what’s in a name anyway?), released on DJ Hell’s reputable International DJ Gigolos, held us over for years nearly a decade, with a support from new EP releases over the years, but now, yes now, we will finally have a second full length to adore! Following the trend, the new record is titled ‘Two’ and we can expect it to be on sale April 20th! This record will be released on Kittin’s own fledgling imprint Nobody’s Bizzness (which also released her solo ‘Batbox’ last year, blog ‘d here). Yay! Here’s a sample of what’s in store!

Youv’e just heard ‘PPPO’ the first single from the record. Other notable excursions on the record are a cover of Elvis Presley’s ‘Suspicous Minds’. Yes, you heard right, bloody Elvis freakin’ Presley meets techno diva. Holy smokes. Now while that’s novel and good, this track other track gets stuck in my head a little more. Let’s party, my skull or yours:
