FUC251

someone set up a blog slating all 'mad'chester revival called FUC251 (a parody of Peter Hook & co.'s new club named - FAC251) and was essentially calling the shots on why people should let that period of history die instead of creating endless amounts of embarrassing imitations of it. For some reason it's now been taken down :(
This is sad because it was such an honest piece of work, how can Manchester create fresh and new music if it's too busy picking over the corpse of its heyday. Egyptian Hip Hop are doing pretty well for themselves but it's hard to see them doing something that really moves me.
However there is this man:

Illum Sphere.

He's giving away an offcut from his forthcoming album on his (amazing) club night's blog HERE.
or if you're lazy here's the mp3: AGENT WHITE.
