Plant life – Something about her
Jack Splash is a time traveler. He was there when it all began, and he made the whole planet rock with Afrika Bambaataa. He had Melle Mel’s back when he was by the edge, and he used to wear them big suits with Talking Heads. And as God is his witness, or his name ain’t Jack, he told AC/DC to come back in black. -

Sia – You’ve changed
Sia – You’ve changed (feat. Laurel Flax)
In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a Top 10 hit with her debut single, ‘Taken For Granted’. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio 1 show. Her debut album, ‘Healing Is Difficult’, arrived to cries of ‘the next big R&B thing’. She then added her jazzy slurs to two tracks on Zero 7’s ‘Simple Things’ album and became the voice of the year’s down-tempo soundtrack.

The Banana Sessions – Prodigy Medley
The Banana Sessions … are one of the quirkiest bands kicking around Edinburgh just now. Swapping a bass guitar for a tuba, and featuring one seriously creepy sounding flute, one minute they sound like a gypsy circus band, the next they’re imitating the bombastic marching band sounds of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club. And just when you find your feet tapping along to the tunes, they sneakily change rhythm and tempo to ear-pleasing effect. -

Laserkraft 3d – Nein Mann
After being banned from their home planet because of partying too hard, their space shuttle finally striked on our earth:
Laserkraft 3D combine their original backgrounds from the Rock- and DJ-scene with full energy into abnormal lasertechno, which drives the audience with unruly thrust both into dirty tech-house-underground and obscene electro-rave orbits.

Doris Days – To Ulrike M. (Zero 7 Mix)
As children of small-town Linkoping, Sweden, the members of Doris Days had their first joint musical experiences in 1989.
Ulrike Marie Meinhof was a German left-wing militant. She co-founded the Red Army Faction (Rote Armee Fraktion) in 1970 after having previously worked as a journalist for the monthly left-wing magazine Konkret. She was arrested in 1972, and eventually charged with numerous murders and the formation of a criminal association. Before the trial concluded, Meinhof died in her cell in 1976.
Electronica act Doris Days created a track entitled To Ulrike M., in which there is a passage spoken in German throughout the song, presumably an archived audio file from Ulrike Meinhof herself. This track has since been remixed by other electronica acts like Zero 7, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and The Amalgamation Of Soundz.
