Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip ‘Look For The Woman’

Two blokes then, from Stanford Le Hope in Essex, everyone when mental for their ‘Thou Shalt Always Kill’ single last year, everyone frothed about their Radiohead-sampling free download ‘Letter From God To Man’. Smart move that. If I was in a band the first thing I’d do is use an uncleared Radiohead sample to drum up a bit of business.

End of the month sees the release of ‘Look For The Woman’, the first single from their debut long one ‘Angles’, out on Rob da Bank’s very fine Sunday Best label on May 12.

It’s hard to believe the single is only out at the end of the month with the sort of battering it’s been getting on Radio One. Zane Lowe has been giving it a very big ‘un, which – and far be it from us to point the finger – isn’t surprising when he has remixed the single.

An ultra smart bit of business from Robbie, you expect no less from him and his label really, but the thing is we can’t see ‘The Zane Lowe Mix’ on any versions of the release. It’s not on the seven-inch, the seven-inch picture disc or the CD, or the download bundle…

How so? We know Mr Lowe likes his beats, but he’s hardly your first choice for a remix. We’re all for giving people a chance, as is Robbie clearly, but why no sign of the mix on the single?

Far be it from us to be making mischief – perish the thought – but it suddenly occurred to have a look at Zane Lowe’s MySpace, and guess what? Yup. We’d heard it described as Woodstock meets De la Soul groove’ and you know what? That is what it is.

More hear…
- MySpace then for the proper, very excellent version of the single.
- Pre-order the single, and all the other remixes, from the Sunday Best site
