Two of my favourite mixes of recent times have been The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Road to Oblivion, both of which are by Dj Pain. The first samples extensively from the film of the same name about an Alien coming to Earth to warn human folks to wise up with the bombing and killing, and the second features samples from films about Nuclear holocaust such as The Day After and Wargames (you gotta love Wargames samples). The beats are suitably dark and atmospheric with peeps such as Blue Sky Black Death, Controller7, Elektro4 and Sixtoo in the mix. Now Pain is back with a third installment HDP over at Rhythm Incursions which features more Sci-Fi sampleage now with added Malcolm Catto drum goodness (and if anyone can tell me whats the tune that starts at 36.10 and has the young skinhead yapping over it I’d like to know cause its doing me nut in).

Update

Sherlock “groove” Holmes ain’t got nothing on me! The tune turns out to be a Dj Signify remix of Belle & Sebastian’s ‘Space Boy Dream’ which features  on Joe Beats ‘Indie Rock Blues‘.  Elementary Dear Watson, now how can I get a copy on vinyl…
