You may of glanced at the eye catching Destroy the Disco poster on the London underground with its heavy nods to Lichtenstein Pop Art and the graphic novels popularised by Frank Miller. It’s a nice bit of visual call to action conceptualised courtesy of Hed Kandi’s Jason Brooks.

But what about the album itself? Well, there quite a few good remixes to speak of on the double album. It kicks off with a kick ass funky take on Gossip’s original soulful ‘Love Long Distance’ where Riva Starr cut ups, chews and regurgitates the vocals to deliver a fine mix. Next up Block Party’s ‘One More Chance’ gets the treatment with Alex Metric producing a remix that would make a great final record to send clubbers off content. After having listened to better mixes of ‘Watch The Sun Come Up’ the Devils Gun effort does not cut it for me. What does work is the wonderfully hypnotic Calvin Harris ‘I’m Not Alone’ Burns Rewerk.

Lots to like about the Black Noise Destroy the Disco edit version of The Young Punx and Count Bass D’s ‘Ready for the Fight’ and Riva Starr’s remix of the Punx’s ‘Juice and Gin’.

Taking it back to Old School Rave/Hardcore, AC Slater’s ‘Just Got Jacked’ Jack Beats remix and those original old school rave bad boys the Prodigy’s ‘Take Me To The Hospital’, which brilliantly infuses early ‘Out of Space’ with later ‘Fat of the Land’ are other highlights of note for the whistle posse!

The booming baseline of Fake Blood ‘MARS’ Herve Refix makes it a dance floor pleaser. Which is more than can be said of the Fake Blood’s ‘I Think I like it’, which sounds seriously badly managed.

All round there are enough decent remixes on Destroy The Disco to warrant attention. I think personally it would have worked better just to have one album with the best rather than a double album but it seems in vogue these days to release double albums to supposedly justify quantity for your buck. But Destroy The Disco does like many double albums have a few comme ci, comme ça tracks proving that quality rather than quantity should be a guiding principle.
