Yesterday was Surkin's birthday and I wanted to have a serious chat with him regarding his future with the company, the wealth of untapped potential he was squandering, his chronic inability to get a haircut in time, missed deadlines, and, oh, possible forthcoming recordings, of course. Then I forgot. And today, I'm thinking, didn't I have better to do? What good is a birthday if you're not posting embarrassing pictures? The one above is certainly gruesome, if only for the company the young man keeps in his free time, but also because posture- and hairstyle-wise, he's obviously aping this guy:

arguably one of the best dance producers in recent times. What gall! Anyways. I also have this one, a useful reminder of the fleeting nature of youth:

In other, less crucial news, we're hard at work on Next of Kin (Mark II), with remixes and versions from Chromeo, Blaqstarr, Bobmo and more. Watch this space for more news.

PS: A video interview with the boy HERE (it's in French but then you can see he's not a chronic stammerer) interspersed with his set at Le Printemps de Bourges, where he clearly killed it.
