With over four million views of their videos on YouTube, two smash U.K. singles (”Thou Shalt Always Kill,” and “Beat That My Heart Skipped”) and stellar U.S. performances earlier this year at Coachella and SXSW already under their belts, Britain’s hottest export–the duo of DAN LE SAC VS. SCROOBIUS PIP–have announced the inking of a deal with Strange Famous Records for the U.S. release of their debut album ANGLES.

Releasing on September 2, 2008, ANGLES combines witty and shockingly spot-on decrees from the mind of vocalist Pip with producer le sac’s mesmeric electro-blessed beats.

Dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip burst onto the U.K.’s independent rap scene last year with their thinking man’s anthem, “Thou Shalt Always Kill”. The song quickly became the most publicly requested track on XFM’s Xposure show. Rave reviews followed, with The Guardian (London) endorsing it as “2007’s first underground anthem” and NME enthusing “Scroobius Pip, you’ve written the Track Of The Year. Thou shalt buy this song and listen to it every day until the sun swallows the earth.” Radio rotation rocketed with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe naming it the “Hottest Track in The World Right Now,” and later his “Single Of The Week.”

In constant contention with perceived wisdom and at issue with the sanctity of pop-culture’s sacred cows, [dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip have become the new faces of ‘outsider pop.’ Their towering structures of Casio-enthused electro-hip-pop are alien to the conventions of radio programming, and their lyrics even dare to ask questions of themselves and the listener. ANGLES represents a broad, deep and thrilling indictment of mediocrity, enthused with a wit and hubris that is entirely their own.

In conjunction with the release of Angles, dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip will return to North America for 19-date run with Strange Famous label mate B. Dolan. Their string of live shows, which consist of miscellaneous props, humor, and crushing instrumental breakdowns, kicks off September 14 at the Monolith Festival in Morrison, CO and includes their first-ever stops in Madison, Minneapolis, Ames, Boston, Portland and more. The trek also includes two nights at the Mercury Lounge in New York City and returns to cities like Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago and San Francisco.

SFR is proud to offer Fat Tape, the first in a series of mixtapes from cratedigger extraordinaire Sloppy White, as a FREE DOWNLOAD! The 20 tracks are zipped together, and encoded in 192kbps MP3 format. Here’s what Sloppy White has to say about his mix:

“From Rare joints by the likes of Makeba and Skratch to skimmed over gems by artists like Hostyle, Fat Tape represents that “Golden Era” of Hip Hop that i’ve loved as a young head (circa 88-91). Raw production and ill raps straight from the gut. The ingredients spotlight rare tracks as well as cuts from LPs and 12’s that are great but don’t get a second look wasting away in cut-out crates. The idea being that you can actually go out and grab some of these tracks without having to search the ends of the earth or pay a fortune for them. Any way, I love this music and this is something i’ve wanted to do for a long time. Hope you like…”
