It's hard to think of a band whose music gives a more thrillingly clear picture of what living in 21st century Britain is actually like than Prinzhorn Dance School. The duo have played to ecstatic crowds across Europe and now Tobin Prinz (voice, guitar, drums) and Suzi Horn (voice, bass, drums) are bringing their unique brand of encouragingly hopeful tunes to the US. Prinzhorn Dance School’s second record, Clay Class, will be released January 31st on DFA Records.

Brand new video for Appaloosa, the paris/london duo, who made releases under Kitsuné and Italians Do It Better with special remix by Glass Candy, is ready with a new Ep under portugal’s Discotexas. One of favourite Cat Power’s band recently appeared during the fashion week in Milano in a super show for D&G. Patchwork it’s a dreaming electro pop song perfect for wintertime.

It was the beginning of August 2011, Steve [Slingeneyer ndr, SLWX+OneManParty] and I started to speak about Hard Core music, remembering tapes, 7” and many other DIY and demo tracks of our youth. After several months this kind of trip, becomes a video mixtape for Radio Soulwax. We can't pretend to have been huge hardcore punk fans at the time, but have grown to love it now, with help from some friends but most of all from Steve. Using our records and his tapes (of local hardcore radio shows from northern France), we tried to give you our take on 80s hardcore. Some people might feel it's not very respectful, but listen, those guys take themselves way too seriously and by cutting it up the way we did, we feel we have kept to the original spirit and energy of the music. This show contains some of the best sleeves yet on RSWX.
