Looping On....Mieux - Video for New Release 'Rush'

Ahead of their forthcoming album Are You Happy, ? - Mieux are happy looping away in this latest vid. The credits reveal a lot of it is the brainchild of one person. Props to him.  Of course the answer is that a lot of us aren't happy because we don't know how to make others happy, the first foundation stone of being happy at all.

So the next Q is: does making this album make Viennese band Mieux happy?  The answer lies in what effect is has on you.
Check out their older stuff. You may've heard Fishing before if you're an intelligent listener.

Collected and mixed by the Norient collective. The release comes via Discrepant in London. Previous broadcasts by us of Norient include Art Dubai 2013, for the radio commission Falgoosh Radio at Art Dubai.

Sexy Mother Fakir Mix - This Week's Free Lab Radio on @resonancefm

From Thessalonki, Greece come DISCOTECA INTERNACIONAL who are PALE PENGUIN and 246DESIGN. Although the playlist sounds like a load of musical buzz-genres repeated after a dozen other labels have made similar moves towards retrobilia, in fact Discoteca Internacional's choices are subtle and better blended than most. Old is Gold- then for the mixers it should be: Seasoned is Pleasing.

Such good sounds! Another thing in their favour it would seem is that the duo behind the name are older and more experienced. When it comes to selection, if the maxim for the content is
