Shuffle EP
words by Mandy Drake
Shuffle? As in random right? As in no particular order? As in off the beaten track? As in unable to be tied down?
Well that’s pretty much it. And as far as names go, Shuffle is the most apt of any outfit.
Recent winners of the Diesel Leftfield Award, Shuffle are indeed as far from the right as Joseph Stalin on May day but with it, as appealing to the pop world as Tom Vek and Mylo.
It’s all about using drum machines, guitars, samples and scratches to create assorted pop that is perfect for sound tracking quirky animated TV ads as well as any pre Saturday night club routine you might have.
Listen to Shuffle and realise that it’s not all about four guys ‘predicting riots.’ Welcome to the future?

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
