Like lots of record-playing types, we're lucky enough to get new bits and bobs sent to us for playing out now and again, sometimes good, sometimes great, sometimes bloody awful.

Just sometimes we get something very exciting indeed. Like just maybe the new single from Rex The Dog, who's canine beats have been a fixture in the Geek Chic CD wallet since he first wandered slobbering onto the dancefloor, sniffing the other technopop producers' nether regions and generally make a bit of a nuisance of himself on the legs of the clubbers

The track is what we've come to expect - all pristine synth riffs, stuttering kick drums, maximal production, albeit with a slightly more song-based vibe, and naturally theres a crop of ace remixes, but the real icing on the cake is the attached press release.

Y'see, usually these things come with an A4 sheet of prosaic blurb designed to get us all exciticated before we even get the CD into the car. No such thing for our fave doggy-chops though. Nope, instead we're treated to the following delights:

We Smoke Fags -Eastenders (Geek Chic's R'n'R mix)

Right, the last one of these was back in March, so sorry about that. But its back now, and once you hear some of the beauties we've got lined up I'm sure you'll forgive all.

Well, at least I hope you will. Trouble is I can't for the life of me remember what's in it, cos the blimmin' file got corrupted, so you couldn't do us a favour could you and have a pop at a tracklisting in the comments? ;)

I'll give you the first one for starters: David Rubato - Circuit (Aeroplane mix)
