Upcoming electro-tech DJ and pioneering blogger Jonty Skrufff has delivered a turbo-charged remix of British techno newcomer Dare & Haste’s new single Ghost Machine, which comes out on Advanced Records in March (listen to the remix on Soundcloud here)

While Bedrock guru Nick Muir praised its ‘spacey and haunting rock solid sounds and unexpected twists and turns’ and alternative legends Tom Tom Club gave props (I’d love to hear it in a club on a proper PA’), Judge Jules tore up his radio playlist.

“Thanks for the tune, I think the music is excellent,” said Jules, “I’m going to play it on tonight’s Radio 1 show.”
