  • BBC DJ and Bestival organizer Rob Da Bank will take the reins of Soma's Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi mix series next month. The DJ, whose 2005 Fabric mix still gets a spin every once in a while at RA towers, has crafted a decidedly un-dance music tracklist for Soma. Following in the footsteps of Andrew Weatherall and Damian Lazarus, da Bank instead indulges his rock jones with selections from Jesus & Mary Chain, Ride, Spiritualized and Slowdive. Rob does made some nods towards electronic music Boards of Canada's "Zoetrope," Ulrich Schnauss' "On My Own" and M83's "Teen Angst," but the focus here is on atmospherics—not body-shaking material. Tracklist 01. Jesus & Mary Chain - Just Like Honey 02. Ultra Vivid Scene - Mercy Seat 03. Dinosaur Jr. - Freak Scene 04. Pale Saints - Sight Of You 05. Ride - Nowhere 06. Spiritualized - If I Were With Her Now 07. Chapterhouse - Pearl 08. Slowdive - When The Sun Hits (Album Version) (Clean Version) 09. Lush - Sweetness & Light 10. Boards Of Canada - Zoetrope 11. Ulrich Schnauss - On My Own 12. M83 - Teen Angst 13. Cocteau Twins - Cherry Coloured Funk (Seefeel Mix) 14. Maps - You Don¹t Know Her Name 15. Dean & Britta - White Horses Soma will release Sci-Fi Hi-Fi Vol.3 on March 9, 2009.
