Klaxons cover:

Klaxons have been nominated for the MTVU Woodie Awards 2007 in the Left Field catagory.

With competition coming from CSS, Madvillain, The Knife and Rodrigo Y Gabriela, you can vote for the band via the below banner

Klaxons have mixed a double album featuring 27-tracks that range from Justice to Roy Orbison and includes the Brodinski remix of 'It's Not Over Yet', previously unavailable outside of iTunes France.

CD one, 'A Bugged Out Mix' is the kind of selection you would hear if Jamie Reynolds were to take to the decks of a club at 2am and possibly what he jokingly referred to when he mentioned that 2008 would be all about Newer Rave after the Mercury win. As well as underground cuts from Johannes Heil, Da Boogieboys and Luke Vibert there is ‘Stress’ a favourite from the Justice album and some vintage Chemical Brothers. The mix concludes with an exclusive, unreleased mix of Klaxons Not Over Yet by rising Parisian kid Brodinski which is spliced with some spoken word ramblings from one of the bands formative influences Aleister Crowley. It’s a ferocious non-stop assault of wide-eyed, peak time full tilt techno bangers that might surprise some fans of the band’s album.

CD two A Bugged In Selection is a fascinating insight into the band and what music makes them tick. Sixties psych, art rock and odd guitar pop are segued with Blur, Roy Orbison, Todd Rundgren, Liars, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and Wu Tang Clan all featured.
