The original version of "Hustler" is one of the singles of the year, doubtless; a new club anthem’s throbbing, chirping tones following a female lead on a raid round the city's record stores. Petty crime, obscure vinyl and the sort of voice your head would like to place in Marisa Tomei’s neck means things are boy’s club enough here already; but the quotient rises exponentially with the video.

You know the video. Spilt milk showering down the faces and breasts of podium girls, bare flesh caked in meal, wretching and writhing, spew fountaining out over Aphex-twinned, melt-mask faces. Really, it’s proper rank.

In the aftermath DiS finds itself face down in a puddle of vomit, stretching a victorious arm skywards, fingers clutching two exclusive SMD remixes for you to listen to.

The first - by Bergen, Norway’s retro electro kingpin Skatebard - gives the bass more weight and strips the song back to its lonely minimal heart. It’s yours to keep. The second comes to you courtesy of Emperor Machine; who stretches the low-end ESG-thin and attacks "Hustler" with screeching synth and disco stomp; before it surrenders and dubs out, comfortably within ‘win’ territory.
