The Electric Mainline – Don’t You Know

The Electric Mainline release their new single Don’t You Know, backed with a HiTS remix of the same track, later this month via a limited 7″ vinyl release which also comes with a free CD of remixes. It’s also available digitally as well. I really like the Deep Cut remix of How Deep Is Your Cut. Deep Cut feature ex members of Death In Vegas and Revolver fact fans. You can buy the whole shebang from Northern Star Records. Facebook Continue reading The Electric Mainline – Don’t You Know
