Thanks for all these recommendations as always. I'm surprised not to see any recent mentions of DE DE MOUSE though, because the EP he released this year was intense and there'll be a full new CD in October, assuming I'm reading the translation of his website correctly

Thanks Eddie!
I'll try to keep a closer look on De De Mouse, and will post about his new album shortly. Indeed it's coming on October 17.
