The Streets highly praised new single with the very stunning vocal additions from Rob Harvey (formerly of The Music) is taken from the fifth and final album Computers and Blues due for release on 7th February.

Going Through Hell is heavier than you would usually expect from The Streets, Mike Skinner always swore he would do a rock song one day - well I think he has got suitably close with this one.

Mike Skinner's voice is velvety smooth and audibly clear as he breaks-open the song in typical Skinner style "it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog".

What I love about Mike Skinner's lyrics is how unique, original, witty and best of all - every song he deems fit to release to his public is fuelled with wisdom, truths and morals. Going Through Hell is no exception "I wouldn't say a word 'till id'e walked a mile in your shoes". 

Robert Harvey is blessed with a voice anyone would be proud and honoured to work with, he is an asset to Mike Skinner's amazing ten + years service to the music industry. Listen to every layer of Going Through Hell and how well it has been mixed and produced, it's a classic in the making!

This song is immense and it is LikeTheSound's recommended tune of the week.

2. Then, you will need to scan two barcodes into your new electronic streets portal.
    The first barcode is the one shown HERE ...
    The second is the one from the side of a 300g tin of tomato soup by a well known brand.

On his blog, Mike Skinner then went on to say, teasingly and warmly "good luck in your mission streets peeps. when you’re in morrisons and you’re confused and you hate me, just remember that we at beat stevie unconditionally love you."

When you get the App, and pass the barcodes, you will then have access to a complete classic of a mixtape titled CYBERSPACE AND REDS featuring Kano, LoudMouth Melvin, Wiley, Rinse, Trim, Wretch and many more. The word for CYBERSPACE AND REDS is spreading fast with great excitement and high praise.

Or you can go to  iTunes and download the Mike Scanner App here

The Streets - Going Through Hell (Lil Silva Remix)

This is an excellent remix of The Streets new single Going Through Hell. Looks like this is going to go down really well across the club circuits. It is complimentary to the original version introducing percussion, bass and synths, leaving the finished remix in an impressive state.

Lil Silva is a 20 year old, up-and-coming Bedford UK based Experimental producer well worth following up.

***an english corner*** video short by Mike Skinner - The Ashes

Mike Skinner justifies a beautifully worded report from The Guardian Sports writer Mike Selvey as the subject matter for his latest video creation titled ***an english corner*** on The Beats official youtube channel.
Mike Selvey is the Guardian's cricket correspondent. He played three times for England, and famously dismissed Roy Fredericks, Viv Richards and Alvin Kallicharran with his first 20 balls, finishing with 4 for 41, in his first Test against the West Indies in 1976. Today, on 7th January Mike Selvey wrote this piece as part of his England Ashes victory over Australia report.

"They came in their thousands to form an English corner of a foreign field for the climax, a day of days in the history of the England team and another one of abject misery for a once-proud Australian team fallen on hard times. Not even the snap showers washing in to interrupt play, and a flatness to the team on the field, could deny them a third overwhelming victory which came, by an innings and 83 runs, at 11.56, four minutes before the Shipping Forecast, and just as Billy the Barmy Trumpeter was playing a poignant Last Post for the demise of Australian cricket." by Mike Selvey

***an english corner*** video short by Mike Skinner



At present, Mike Skinner is not only busy making excellent video shorts, he also brings us Casting Down Your Pod, on a weekly basis, he has a new single titled Going Through Hell out on 31st January and the highly anticipated new album Computers and Blues due out on 7th February of which he will be taking on the road for the Computers and Blues Tour kicking off at the Edinburgh Picture House on 18th February and rounding off at the O2 Brixton Academy on 5th March.

In the video ***an english corner***, Mike Skinner, a handsome young Englishman, is heard reading from his corner a paragraph from Mike Selvey's report in today's Guardian, no newbie to cricket, back in May 2009 Skinner was sat in the sun at Lords watching the 1st Test.
One assumes Skinner has just enjoyed his beverage from the white Audio Engineering mug which he bought back from his visit last November to the 129th Audio Engineering Society convention in San Fransisco where he also met Timberland's mix engineer Jimmy Douglas, fell in love with an Electric Harp and bought a new Burberry jacket.
On learning the victorious news that England has won the Ashes over Australia, he falls into a dream with the sound of rejoicing so near you are nearly there as he tells the news, and then, suddenly, he wakes "WHERE AM I?" he calls, was it a dream? Surreal.

Today, Mike Selvey told me that he does of course know of Mike Skinner and heard his work. When asked what Mike Selvey thought of Mike Skinner's video ***an english corner***, he said "Mike Skinner's video short here is just flattering really. actually makes it sound readable. my kids will think im seriously cool now."

Congratulations to England's glory. Thank you Mike Skinner for a beautiful tribute.

***in the steam room*** by Mike Skinner with Ted Mayhem

***in the steam room*** by Mike Skinner with Ted Mayhem

" ... so I was sitting in the steam room and I got chattin' to this guy and he was... we was talking about our family and stuff 'n' I was telling him about my family, and at one point he said isn't it amazing how we've all ended up here like this, isn't it amazing y'know, as a human race, and at first I agreed with him, but as I lay there in all of the steam as it was surrounding my body I suddenly realised that it isn't strange. If you took say a hundred thousand sheets of paper and laid them all end to end, side by side on a football pitch and then you kicked a football at random as hard as you could there would almost be an infinite possibility that the ball would not land where the ball landed. But the ball has to land somewhere. So the fact that we've ended up here with two eyes, one mouth, a nose, ears, it's not really strange because the fact that we're talking about it means that we are here and we could have just as easily evolved to have green skin and only communicate by infrared. In a sense he was talking absolute rubbish .... "

***in the steam room*** by Mike Skinner with Ted Mayhem



Mike Skinner, the deep thinker, just don't expect a shallow "yeah" when he can absorb, digest, regurgitate and spit it back out in a state that is better than it went in as.
