SECOND CHROMATICS SHOW ADDED IN LONDON
hello. transmitting from London on approx 3 hours sleep. Last
nights show was excellent! thanks everyone for coming out
and making our maiden voyage to London very special. You
even made Ruth cry during Running Up That Hill with your
awesome response!
We added a second gig at the same venue on TUESDAY April
22nd. Go to the venue, Rough Trade or Phonica for tickets.
As of last night we were told the tickets were selling fast. If
you missed us please come out, as we are extending our stays
just for you!
ALSO, on Italians news- the 12"s are selling very fast. I popped
into Rough Trade and Phonica and they are all sold out. But fear
not- we are going to repress the Tiedye w/ Feist 12" in yet
another small edition. We werent expecting it to sell out in
minutes. If you want to secure a copy your best bet is to
order from the TMU website. This way you are guaranteed to
get one. The other Tiedye 12" is not getting repressed because
we do not want Lars Ulrich knocking down our door (even though
he startedrecord store day
I may also be djing a few times when im out here, but to be
honest - im too tired to think right now.. See You Next Tuesday,
as they say....

ITALIANS NEW RELEASES UPDATE
hiya. a few things... firstly i am in the middle of moving my house
so i packed a lot of my records, thus i cant get you a track listing
for the HAZY HOUSE mix. i would probably keep most titles
secret anyways! its all house music from 1987-1993. look out
for part two in the summer.
new italians releases will be here in 2.5 weeks, BUT the Italians
staff will be on tour in Australia/New Zealand so they will have to wait
until we get back. BUT our distributor will have them for shops while
we are gone.. also, the t-shirts are pretty much sold out except for
size YOUTH LARGE and YOUTH MEDIUM- in which we have about 4 left.
thanks for all the support. we LOVE YOU!!!
look for dates in a few days, while we are gone i will try to keep an
Italians tour blog from the road if i remember.

The great Franco-Italian mix swap of 2008!
It seems everyone and their dog has an edit label
these days, and although it may not necessarily be
a good thing- we should all be thankful for the
Dirty Edits guys from France. They are one of the
good guys making original edits and taking songs you
may never have even thought of and turning them into
killer dancefloor fillers. I had the pleasure
of djing with Pilooski in London a few months ago, and
although we were both morbidly ill with some sort of
monster British swamp flu- we both survived and had a
great time. He's one of my new favorite djs, and co-runs
one my favorite record labels AND blogs. Not too shabby.
A few months ago they asked me to do a mix for their blog,
but i proposed a mix swap, because their records run
deep, and i wanted to hear what they had up their sleeve.
Their mix is entitled EMOTIONAL RESCUE, and its a fluid
mix of tracks that perfectly sums of the Dirty experience.
enjoy!

hello. sorry for the delay with the shirts,
but we finally have them ready to go. they
are available in either black or dark blue
shirts with metallic black ink. when
ordering state your shirt color preference,
but please be aware you may not get the
color you want, so be prepared to get black
if you order blue, or vice versa- but we will
try our hardest to fill your request!!!

I'm back on Beats In Space
Hello. Next Tuesday, i believe Feb 12 maybe- I'll
be back to do the guest dj thing Beats In Space for what
i believe is my fifth time... It must be some sort of
world record. I think Tim mentioned there will be
an awards ceremony involving a trophy and oversized
check.
This appearance is special because Tim asked me to
do an all-Krautrock special perhaps to celebrate the imminent
release of the Invisible Conga People 12"? Maybe because
disco is over and emo is back? We will never know now
will we???
