XI Podcast for Frite Nite + Massive Tour Announcement
Feature and US tour dates over at Frite Nite
"Simply put, XI is a personal favorite of ours here at Frite Nite. 2011 brought a bounty of fruitful endeavors for the Toronto native also known as Christian Anderson. Prior to his recent relocation to the brimming music scene that is Berlin, XI shared a number of releases that covered the classiest sides of damn near every style and tempo we hold dear. From his “Gamma Rain / Medicate” 12″ on Orca, to his spot-on remix of Sepalcure’s timeless “Love Pressure” on Hotflush, all the way back to the stand-out track “Whiteout” on our own Surreal Estate compilation, the young man stays busy. The hot streak continues in 2012, with his third 12″ for Orca (his full-time label home) entitled “Squeeze / Immunity”, which has already become a staple in a few of our crates. Needless to say, we are thrilled to have him as our distinguished guest for the 17th edition of the FTNT podcast series."

Rustie's 'Glass Swords' First Album Award
"If Russell "Rustie" Whyte was anything like his music, interviewing him would be a tough gig. He'd be bouncing off the walls, screaming his answers in your face and having to take Ritalin to calm down whenever you asked a question. Then, when you were done, he'd swallow your dictaphone and regurgitate it across the desk.
Rustie's debut album Glass Swords, you see, is a playful riot of a record, a neon tapestry of sonic thrills that incorporates 80s pop, happy hardcore, the Seinfeld theme, soft rock and hip-hop – often all at the same time. It refuses to sit still for more than a nanosecond and has been hailed by several critics as being at the vanguard of a new wave of "maximalism" in electronic music..."
We're extremely proud to say that Rustie has won the Guardian's 'First Album Award' for his stunning debut LP 'Glass Swords'. Voted for by critics including Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire and Gold Panda. Check the full story and interview here in today's Guardian.
Africa Hitech interview
"This year saw the collaboration of two luminaries in the electronic and dance music world. Mark Pritchard has a long history in a wealth of projects, from Global Communication and Troubleman to his recent Harmonic 313 guise for Warp Records. Steve Spacek formed the trio Spacek with Ed Spacek and Morgan Spacek (now Morgan Zarate on Hyperdub) before moving on to solo releases under his own name such as Spaceshift, which featured J Dilla on one song. After both relocated to Australia and found themselves living near each other, they embarked on an exploration of shared themes and beats. The result was Africa Hitech and 2011′s 93 Million Miles, featuring the breakout “Out In The Streets” single. While touring the U.S. they found time to chat with LWE about their history, influences, working together, and what the future holds."
