If anyone knows how to lovingly craft a big hook its Mike Monday. His single Bhalobashi has been Simples biggest selling single of all time. Zwivetty is seriously infectious, weird and wonky disco absolutely bursting with soul and character, treading the line between organic and electronic perfectly. Drums that sound slightly out of control (in a good way), huge stabs and an ingeniously cut-up string sample. Think Sound Stream on acid. For the dub Mike takes out the stabs and builds the tension around the strings. Played back to back they are devastating combination. Mr.Gone is an altogether different proposition. Undulating techno with de-tuned guitar licks, an evil acid arp-line and perfectly off kilter percussion that all leads to a stunning Squarepusher-esque bass-line solo by Mike himself.
