Who do you think you're foolin?

Robbie Williams concert on the weekend was good.. I dont think I can honestly say it was the greatest ever though. Slow start-up, but the vibe picked up about halfway. Production-wise was pretty amazing with visuals, lighting, fireworks/fire balls. His egotistical man-boy charm was very endearing.

He played all his popular old(er) tracks.. nothing off the new album, so I thought, until he came back out for his encore (in Adidas gear that was branded with his "RPW" initials) and did Rudebox.

But no Lovelight... which is his current track playing on the radio.

Although going by Chris Coco's Blog (tour DJ), Lovelight was filmed at the 2nd show in Perth.

Lovelight was produced by Mark Ronson, who also plays bass/electric guitar, percussion, beats + scratches (he does 4 others on Rudebox) with his trademark horn-infused soul, bordering on disco maybe? Robbie hits those high notes, eh? Its actually a cover of Londoner Lewis Taylor's criminally unknown track from his album Stoned (Part 1) released in 2005. Admittedly I didnt know it until RW remade it, so there you have it. Criminal, I tells ya.

So here's the original.

Lewis Taylor - Lovelight


Pretty similiar huh?

Remixes of Robbie's Lovelight include:
Soulwax Ravelight Vocal Mix
Soulwax Ravelight Dub
Kurd Maverick Vocal Mix
Soul Mekanik Mekanikal Mix
The Dark Horse mix

"If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a Lily"

Or so says the old Chinese proverb!

She's gone from MySpace Queen to new Queen of Pop in under a year and yet she's managed to remain true to her online roots. Whether that's by tricky marketing or her own prominent tastes in the music and the people she works with (Aaron La Crate, Mark Ronson, Robbie Williams and now Radioclit) remains anybodies guess.

Either way I don't know how I managed to miss this superb remix until now. I'm blaming work being super busy and the fact that I've been trying to stay off the net during the day (so as to get the super busy work done).

Anyhow. This Radioclit remix of Lily Allen's LDN is a perfect choice of remix style. It's grimey, gritty, and a perfect choice to demonstrate London's (sometimes not so obvious) charms.

Grab it here.
