Various - UK:One-The New Music Collection (iTunes)

Mark Vidler – a/k/a Go Home Productions – is one of the UK geniuses behind the recent DJ mash-up craze. Along with Osymyso, he’s still leading that field, even though it has now been commercialised out of the underground and into the mainstream, as a recent comedy-tinged mash for Comic Relief proved. While he’s built his name remixing other people, Vidler’s first original release turned up recently on iTunes. It’s part of this download-only album sponsored by Coca Cola. His 20 Days Till The Roof Falls Down sits alongside Bo Popper and The Happiness but is undoubtedly the highlight of the whole set.
