We are dripping wet with sweat and tears of joy in announcing that the best of Moloko will be released for U.S. dance and electronic music fans on July 11th. The album is called “Catalogue”, and includes all 13 of their singles, from the U.K. Top 10 hit like “Time Is Now” to their earliest underground singles, like the fabulously titled debut release, “Where Is the What If the What Is in Why”. The Echo Label, who have been responsible for unleashing Moloko onto the world stage from day one, are also responsible for this already overdue retrospective, that also works perfectly as an introduction to Moloko for the new listener.

To whet your appetite, here’s a free download (limited time only - get it now!) of Moloko’s most famous hit, the classic Ibiza favorite …

We just got a hold of a fantabulous remix of Roisin Murphy’s second hit single from “Ruby Blue”, the song “If We’re In Love”. Dani Siciliano, wife of Matthew Herbert who produced Roisin’s album, took the swank & swagger of the original track and mutated it into a groovy, glitched up summertime jam. Download it:
