many people are asking...

for the original version of the Rubies track "I Feel Electric"...
here you go! :

to everyone who mailordered the new 12"s

hello. so heres why you dont have your records yet. our pressing
plant (pirates press) screwed up in a major way and sent al the records
to the distributor, and the distributor sold out of everything in a
matter of days before we realized how they screwed up. this was a
major error on their part.

This is actually GOOD news for some of you. because of this, we are
forced to repress them all because we were shorted. the represses
will be here in a week. we are VERY VERY sorry about this. to
make it up to you , we will give you any IDIB cd of your choice. (or
a t-shirt if you are size youth large or youth medium!)
email us at orders@troublemanunlimited.com and give me your
order info and we will throw it in.

we managed to salvage some Conga People 12"s, so those of you
who ordered that record will get it sent this week.


We expect the two Tiedye 12"s to be here VERy soon. once again
we apologize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you want refund , please let us know.
we hope you can be patient enough though!

so if you didnt get the new 12"s- dont fear! we will have more. so order
now while you can!

thanks again!

the most comprehensive interview ever!

while i was away on tour an interview i did a while ago was finally
released (because it took me so long to get the mix together- sorry)...
the mix and interview is for the cosmic disco blog. it is by far the
ultimate interview if you really care about my life (as if!)... but
seriously, it is really long. it is safe to say i will never do an interview
this thorough again! the mix is part two of the Zed Aught Magazine
mix i did for their website a while back. (aka the Fashion Magazine mix)...
i did this mix first take- like all of the mixes i do. if its done with a
computer, it aint real!

get the interview here

last day of Chromatics tour

about to head home. thanks to everyone who
has supported us on the Chromatics tour. you
were all great! hope to see you in a few weeks
on GLASS CANDY's maiden voyage to the UK. Chromatics
will be back to see you all again this year, most
likely towards the end of the year.

Also, most of the new 12" mailorders were shipped
last week. We are repressing the Tiedye RUBIES
remix as we speak so dont pay Ebay prices!!!

MIKE DJING IN LONDON TONIGHT AGAIN (different night!)

hi. im djing London tonight at DURRR . if you live
in London you know where it is... main room
1am. Monday 21 April 2008.

MIKE DJING IN LONDON TONIGHT @ Horse Meat Disco

last minute thing. im djing HORSE MEAT DISCO
tonight in London- come down if you are in London. I may
also be playing tomorrow night, if you care. More
infos soon..

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 started

record 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....

CHROMATICS IN EUROPE!! (me too)

Chromatics make their maiden voyage overseas. Its been years in
the making, and we are all very excited. I hear most of these gigs
are sold out already, but i also heard some walk up tickets
may be available. I will be djing these gigs as well, and there are going to be
some afterparties as well- so keep your eyes here. We are all very
excited! Come out and say hello. All the Chromatics shirts are sold
out as well! Thanks for the support.

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.

Miks Simonetti: HAZY HOUSE mix direct link

Some of you have asked for a direct link to the
HAZY HOUSE mix that i did for Pilooski's
blog. I think they update their blog a little
more regular that i do ;)
