Spanish cockney-ravers (best i can do right now) Crystal Fighters have a new single out and about soon called I Love London, which, apart from being the most original sentiment pressed to vinyl, is a damn good slice of early Bonjay-style lofi rave rap. But with less of that ‘look at my vagine’ stuff that Bonde were selling. And it’s mega cute how they enunciate ‘London’.
A UK mate who just got back has me all a flutter with reports of Crystal Fighter’s live show. Sounds a bit like Crystal Castles but with a bit more crystal balls if you get my drift.
Couple remixes have floated our direction, first is a low-slung, industrial drum and bass affair from Golau Glau. Bit of soundscaping – echoey tower bells and sirens with a vocal hook pumped through a megaphone
Crystal Fighters – I Love London (Golau Glau mix)
JOCKS, aka 1/4 of Goodbooks (RIP bros), delivers a thinking mans electro piece, but maintains all the frenetic pace and snappy rhythms that make Crystal Fighters the stand up citizens we know and love.

Check their MySpace for single launch parties in your neighbourhood. But not in my neighbourhood. Cause my neighbourhood is a gaybourhood and too far away for making good party.
