Canadian electro from Toronto's boy-girl duo Crystal Castles, whose lo-fi approach to the genre makes their music both sweet and sincere whilst being every bit as punk as the rest. '...hit and run electropop, flailing, pulsing beeps smashed over an evil beat and driven onward by an incomprehensible shrieked vocal.' - Drowned In Sound.

A kaleidoscope of cut and paste sounds and old skool beats, combined with some chilled vocals, The Go! Team have been building up legions of avid fans over the last year or so. The fact that a fifteen minute power failure in the middle of their headlining set on Glastonbury's John Peel stage failed to deter any of the crowd should tell you all you need to know about their live performances. Imagine Saint Etienne and Grandmaster Flash playing recorders and other school-music-cupboard instruments and you're somewhere close. Superb.
