If Franz Ferdinand make rock music that girls could dance to, Digitalism make electronic that everyone can rock out to. For the past two years, they have been the go-to men for indie remixes, having reworked Tom Vek, The Cure, The White Stripes, The Klaxons, Cut Copy and The Futureheads, to devastating effect.
Last October they were the hightlight of the NME cover-mounted Dancefloor Distortion CD, alongside The Gossip and The Mystery Jets. This summer, you’re as likely to find them appearing live on the festival circuit as playing the clubs. At time of writing, Erol Alkan, Daft Punk, The Presets and fellow dance/rock chisellers, Boyz Noize, all sit in their MySpace top eight. As Sean McClusky, the legendary London rock club promoter, who booked the duo recently, puts it “Digitalism are as popular with indie kids as electro or techno clubbers.”
Their loose, heavily distorted, rough grooves and blankly delivered lyrics have as much in common with The Stooges as they have with the Ministry of Sound.
