we'd like to know kung fu as well


Before Nü-ravers (some say new-rave but please indulge my fondness of the umlaut) Shitdisco hit it big, they hosted free parties in their drummer's flat in Glasgow. These so-called "61" parties would last an entire weekend. In 2005, their first single "Disco Blood/ I know Kung Fu" was released on Fierce Panda and the world outside of Glasgow was able to enjoy Shitdisco's intense sound. Their first album, Kingdom of Fear, was completely in the line of their debut single and a few weeks back, the 12" of "I Know Kung Fu" was released.


On the A-side, the original can be found along with an absolutely destructive remix by Belgian electrorockers Goose. This remix kind of reminds me of "Ravelight", the remix Soulwax made for Robbie Williams's "Lovelight".It also has this kind of slow (well, compared to what's coming...) building up followed by quite a lengthy run-up to a massive explosion. Also note the bleepy noises during the building up which resemble the ones in "Ravelight" very much. And by no means is this a bad thing, au contraire, this remix would cause mayhem on a dancefloor. On the B-side, there's a remix of "OK" by Radioclit and a remix of "Dream of Infinity" by Passions.
