Plump DJs are set to take the reins of Global Underground's DJ series in October. The Plumps follow in the footsteps of Nic Fanciulli, who mixed up the first edition of the new series from the renowned label. The remit of the series, as explained by the label, is to "put the power solely in the hands of the DJs to take the listener on a complete introspective musical journey across two discs." As you might expect, that means that you'll be getting plenty of the post-breaks sound that the duo of Andy Gardner and Lee Rous have been, er, plumping for over the past few years, along with two new exclusive tracks ("The Knife" and "My Hi Tops") which are set to be released as singles in support of the album. In an era where the compilers of mix CDs often try out something special for the format to keep up with the growing influence of podcasts and online mixes, Gardner and Rous spent weeks in the studio and put together something that, as Rous puts it, "is representative of the four deck show that we have been touring worldwide for the past nine months."
