New old remixes to kick off 2012!

As Eddie Murphy once said, “Merry New Year!“. We hope you all had a lovely seasonal break (and if you were working, hopefully it wasn’t too painful). My time off gave a chance to go through some old stuff and dust a couple of things down. So to that extent, I’ve updated some old remixes in a slightly George Lucas style (only without the shit pointless fx) and finished off a couple of new new-ish remixes from last year for your downloading pleasure. Here you go:

Thank you to all of the people that have allowed their tracks to be tinkered with. I just hope I’ve done them justice! I’m actually already working on a couple of new (and official!) remixes which will be out soon but more news on that soon. Other things coming up in 2012 are new music (including more collaborations with Death of Hifi, Asher Dust and The Half Rabbits) and more live dates. Last year was brilliant and here’s to hoping that continues in to this year!

Cheers, Ian

Pictures from the DJ Shadow gig now up

Well, that was fun. Cheers to everyone that came to the O2 for this gig and for everyone that showed their support before and after. Also a massive thanks to DJ Shadow and the team for having us. It’s safe to say that it was a pretty amazing night on many different levels.

We’ve got some pictures from the night up here. There are also a few more up on Facebook here and here.

We’ll be looking for more gigs next year and there will be new music sooner rather than later. There’s one other thing to come before the year’s out. More on that soon.

LIBRE out NOW!!! + Competition to win a ticket to DJ Shadow on Thursday!

Yes you’ve read that right. Go listen and download our new ep for FREE from http://www.tigermendoza.co.uk/libre.

We’re really happy with it and the response to the previews that have gone out so far have been great. We’ll be giving out a very limited number of CDs at the gig on thursday as well.

That’s not all though. We’re giving away a ticket to the DJ Shadow gig at the O2 Academy, Oxford this Thursday (which by the way we’re also playing at) to one lucky downloader! To win, once you’ve signed up to download the ep, add a comment to this post saying “I WANT TO GO SEE DJ SHADOW!” and we’ll pick a name out of the proverbial hat. Simple.

A couple of rules though:

  • One entry per person please
  • We can’t provide transport so you’ll have to be able to make you’re own way to the O2, Oxford.
  • Winner will be selected tomorrow (Tuesday 6th December) at 9pm.

Good luck!

Gigs, new music and other fun stuff

First off THANK YOU to everyone that came down to the O2 show a couple of weeks ago. It genuinely was a LOT of fun and we got to play with a lot of other brilliant electronica based bands from Oxford. That and playing the tunes on that p.a. was pretty amazing. There should be some highlights from the night plus maybe even an interview on tomorrow night’s BBC Oxford Introducing. There should also be some pictures from the show up soon too.

So on to new ventures. On Saturday 21st October Oxjam takes over Oxford for 2 days of gigs around the town and we’re happy to say we’ll be playing not 1 but 2 shows on the same day. Crazy. Show times and locations are:

3:45pm – O3 Gallery
6:45pm – Modern Art Oxford

It’s great to see Oxford really get involved in Oxjam and we’re really happy to be a part of it considering how much fun last year‘s show was. Go to the gigs page for more info. Here’s a link to the official Oxford Oxjam site.

We are working on some new music (including and ACE collaboration with Death of Hifi and Asher Dust), a couple of which you would have heard at the O2 Academy gig if you were there. There’s still some stuff to finish off so we’re not to sure on when it’ll be out but hopefully soon. Follow twitter for more regular updates.

There is also one more HUGE thing that we’re close to confirming. I don’t mean to tease (ok, maybe a bit) but trust me, it’s pretty immense…

In honour of our next gig at The O2 Academy next Saturday, we thought we would give people a small taster of what they can expect from our set so, ladies and gentlemen, we present a little 2 track free download called ‘Take Our Their Legs’.

The 2 tracks are a dub mix of The Circus and a ‘Live’ mix of My House which were both on Aim For the Head.
Downloads available from Bandcamp in a variety of different formats and Soundcloud as 192kbps MP3s. Let us know what you think and tell your friends.

Oh, and just checking, your all coming the *amazing* gig happening next Saturday yeah? Good. Just checking.

Summer shows

Greetings.

This summer’s been pretty busy for us. Which is great. Being busy is good.
Firstly there was the gig at The Windmill in Brixton as part of the Oxford Electro All-Dayer with a whole host of other great Oxfordshire based electro acts.
Next though we have a couple of shows a bit closer to home:

  • Thu 11th August – The Cellar (2 piece show) [Facebook event]
  • Sat 13th August – Baby Love bar (DJ set) [Facebook event]
  • Sat 27th August – The Wheatsheaf (Full band show)

I’ve also just had a note about another show but more on that soon. Go to the gigs page for more info.

We’re also putting together some tunes for a new ep and hopefully some very cool people will be guesting on it. More information on when it will be coming out soon-ish.

Cheers again to everyone that’s supported us, it genuinely means a lot.
