Nigel Godrich has got his hands full with new bands right now. When the Radiohead producer is not making records for them, or joining Thom Yorke‘s Atoms For Peace he’s busy with new trio Ultraίsta also featuring Laura Bettinson and Joey Waronker. With a debut album due out this week (5 November) and live dates kicking off later this month, Godrich and Bettinson have compiled us a Playlist of “songs for a DIY disco”.

“Grasping at the disco straws here. In fact, this is not really disco at all. Not in the slightest. But love this tune.”
