1. Give Up The Ghost (Thriller Houseghost RMX)
2. Codex (Illum Sphere RMX)
3. Little By Little (Shed RMX)
Another sterling crop of mixes selected by Radiohead for their extended 'King Of Limbs' revisions. In pole position, Thriller (possibly Actress, maybe Lukid, or both?) duppy 'Give Up The Ghost' as an hypnotically introverted 'Houseghost' roller, Thom's vox evaporated into a spectral mist of moans around aquatically displaced and murkily filtered 4/4 beat. Next, Illum Sphere's remix of 'Codex' is imbued with a more rainy day vibe, rendering the emotive elegance of the original with a subtly minimalist, almost baroque rhythm comparable with recent Zomby styles, but with spacious, widescreen diffusions. Craftiest of the lot is Shed's moiré-like rearrangement of 'Little By Little', where whirring post-hardcore rhythms sync with subliminal bass shapes and mesmerizing loops to play-it-again effect. Best in the series so far - big recommendation...www.boomkat.com

1. Feral (Lone Remix)
2. Morning Mr Magpie (Pearson Sound Scavenger Remix)
3. Separator (Four Tet Remix)
Lone, Pearson Sound and Four Tet come correct for a third Radiohead remix session sprung from 'The King Of Limbs'. Frontside Lone remixes 'Feral' as a humid simulation of hybrid Funky/Techno drums with a cascading waterfall breakdown and pharmaceutically synthesized vibes all the way. Heading further out, Pearson Sound's Scavenger remix of 'Morning Mr Magpie' spreads out the intro of pastoral, glistening synth washes and tentative subs before balling into futurist FunkyXFootwork mechanics. Most impressive, however is Four Tet's 'Separator' remix, gliding Thom Yorke over warm and woozy synth convections and shuffled Drag rhythms. Smart...www.boomkat.com
