See what I did there? Clever huh? Actually, it's a bit of an in joke, but you'll understand it soon enough.

Well, this overdue edition of The Pipe was shaping up to be as dull as Oasis were last night at Glastonbury, but I think I may have managed to unearth a few surprises for you...

But not as surprising as Liam Gallagher (World Staring Champion 1998) and his new voice.

So what can you expect? Well as the title suggests, come inside and hold your arms aloft as Sie drops a killer new tune.

Just wipe your feet first, please.

Now can I go an edition without linking to a new Fake ID track? Lets try...

Sie Vs Electro

Round Two in an occasional Pipe / House Of Cuss Series.

After their excellent work a couple of months back on the remixes of Omar's "There's Nothing Like This" (suggested to them by regular forum poster and hater of newbies, Jimmy The Flid - See The Pipe #4), It seems that Sie and Electro are willing to let us hear the fruits of their labour again. Prompted by Sie, who wanted to use The Pipe for unleashing his new production, I then approached Electro to see if he wanted to create a new track for inclusion too and thankfully he said yes. And then he gave me 2 tunes, ripped from a cassette, he made in 1996...

First up is Sie's new track "'Til Sunrise". Sie is noted for his love of Trance and here he displays not only his love for it, but his talent for creating thumping tracks from scratch. I'm not the biggest fan of this genre of music, but in small doses I can handle it.

Saying that...

Sie's track has been played to death in my house ever since he sent me the link. But how can i describe it without using Trance cliches? I can't. Thumping beat, euphoric synth lines, killer break down and sheer grin inducing power for when it kicks back in.

Electro, goes for a bouncy house track with a bubbling 303 acid bassline, a Rockers Revenge sample and some cheeky filtered disco loops. So was Electro ahead of his time by making filtered disco tracks way back before those Parisian DJ's made it the done thing to do? Goodness knows, but his track, entitled "Not Wrong" (you'll "get" the title when you hear it) is well worth the download. The original version is available to download too. Personally, I prefer the Acid Mix.

Sie - 'Til Sunrise (original mix)
Electroretro - Not Wrong (acid mix)

DJ Dubz - Dub Be Good To Me Vs Melt

After playing the above tunes, you may find you need to relax and want to listen to something a bit quieter. DJ Dubz comes up trumps (that's one vowel away from me getting sued...) again with this soothing ambient mash of Beats International's "Dub Be Good To Me" and Leftfield's "Melt". DJ Dubz was the guy behind the mix of Britney Spears "Toxic" and The B-52's "Love Shack" that was featured a while back on The Pipe. Check his site out as he has plenty of tracks available to download.

DJ Zebra - C'mon Fuck Me
DJ Zebra - Rock And Roll Train

Right, that's enough quiet time, lets kick it back off again. And where better than getting your lugs around DJ Zebra's noisy mash of The Von Bondies "C'mon C'mon" with some Simian and Princess Superstar?

This Rocks.

Play Loud.

Another track by the talented french man. "Rock And Roll Train" takes some Gary Glitter and Goldfrapp and then creates the ultimate Electro Glam Rock stomper. I can't listen to this without thinking of the Alison Goldfrapp footage from Glastonbury. Knee length boots, her bum cheeks hanging out of her knickers and topped off with a horses tail sticking out of her arse. Bizarre and erotic. Am I becoming a pervert?

Rachel Stevens - "Some Girls"

I was in two minds whether to link to this track as I reckoned I would get flamed for it, but fuck it, a great pop song is a great pop song and this is a, yes you guessed it, great pop song. I've put it up as it's very similar in style to DJ Zebra's "Rock And Roll Train" and it's also very similar to Lionel Vinyl's bootleg from last year, "Strict Rachel". Lionel, last year, took Rachel's debut track "Sweet Dreams (My LA Ex)" and gave it the electro glam make over by using Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine". Rachel's new track "Some Girls" sounds uncannily like it. It's a Richard X production and it's very good. Can't wait to see the video...

(track found on the excellent Fluxblog site)

(no sign of a Fake ID track yet. Looking good... Shit. Managed to mention Lionel Vinyl above though... Hope no one notices...)

Del Gazeebo - "Ch-Checking Out The Dock Of The Bay"

Oh man! The new Beastie's song suddenly bursts into Peggy Lee singing "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay"! You'll never be able to hear "Ch-Check It Out" again without bursting into the old soul classic. The sound quality is not great (96k rip) but it's still worth a download. Rumour has it that it may soon be appearing on vinyl...

Del Gazeebo seems to have friends on B3TA, check the link below out for a Tiger singing Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" over The Cure's "Close To Me"...

Roppenzo - "Close To A Bug"

And talking of The Cure's "Close To Me"... Wanna hear it with Destiny's Child singing "Bug A Boo" over the top? Then right click below as it's brilliant. Oh, and you Simpsons fans may want to check out Roppenzo's site as you may enjoy hearing "Do The Bartman" over Pharrell and Snoop's summer hit from last year, "Beautiful".... Just click on "Tracks" to find it on his site.

I GIVE UP, I JUST CAN'T DO IT. I CAN'T GO A WHOLE EDITION Of THE PIPE WITHOUT A FAKE ID TUNE. I JUST CAN'T. HIS REMIXES ARE JUST TOO GOOD.

Fake ID Vs Def Leppard - "Party Animal"

Yes, you read correctly. Def fucking Leppard. I think they must have got Fake ID in to add the drums as that one armed drummer wasn't up to the job or away strangling his wife or something. It's a remix of their 1987 track "Animal".

I love Fake ID. You should too.

Well, another one done. Feel free to discuss the selections, wind me up for liking Rachel Stevens or fancying Alison Goldfrapp with that horses tail hanging out her arse in the Forum.
