Ever the early adopters, we’ve decided to create a weekly FACT Spotify playlist for you.

We’ll update the playlist every Friday afternoon, using it as another outlet to showcase noteworthy new music, plus tracks relevant to what’s we’ve been writing about on the site in any given week and, of course, plenty of chestnuts from years gone by. You need to be signed up to Spotify in order to listen to the playlist; then simply click the link below.

Listen on Spotify:  FACT’s weekend playlist (23/07/2010)

1. Machinedrum – Sakatak
Inspired R&B mutations from New York’s Machinedrum, one of Hudson Mohawke’s favourite producers. It’s taken from his new EP for LuckyMe, which is out now digitally and on vinyl next month.

2. Altered Natives – Immortality
Insanely danceable highlight of Serial Vendetta, the second album that London bruk-house master Altered Natives has released in 2010.

3. Lorn – Army of Fear
Lorn’s Nothing Else EP, signed to Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, was reviewed very favourably on FACT this week. Listen to the Grand Guignol dubstep of ‘Immortality’ and you’ll see why.

4. Zola Jesus – Sea Talk
Beefed up re-recording of the neo-goth princess’s tear-jerking torch song. Like Telepathe, but less studied and way more dramatic.

5. Seefeel – Quique
It’s just been announced that Seefeel will release a new EP and album through Warp Records this year. ‘Charlotte’s Mouth’ is taken from their 1993 debut album Quique, and is typical of their sumptuous dream-pop sound.

6. Crocodiles – I Wanna Kill
We learned this week that US slouch-rock types Crocodiles are soon to release their debut album; a good excuse to revisit their gloriously rudimentary signature track, ‘I Wanna Kill’.

7. Tones On Tail – Shakes
A synth-pop/EBM classic from Tones On Tail, a now defunct band formed by Bauhaus’s Daniel Ash in the late 1980s. Be sure to look up B-side ‘Performance’, an hail of razor-sharp, B-boy-friendly drum edits.

8. Conforce – Cruising
Dutch techno producer contributed a deep, cinematic live set to our FACT mix series on Monday. The eagle-eared among you will have spotted the inclusion of ‘Cruising’, taken from his 2009 EP of the same name for Rush Hour.

9. James Ruskin – Fallen (original mix)
The most recent FACT mix is by UK techno veteran and Blueprint boss James Ruskin. This hard-vamping rave juggernaut is one of the more exuberant tracks in his oeuvre.

10. A.C. Marias – Just Talk
Sublime, elegiac post-post-punk, produced by Wire’s Colin Newman and released by Mute in 1989.
