Only a rare breed of pre-teens could possibly cite Liars as a favourite band, never mind boast an exclusive remix of their latest single, rivalled only by an effort from the divine CSS!  Brooklyn’s tiniest masters of lo-fi rock are talented young bucks Ivan, aged 13 and Ada, aged 11. Scuzzy guitars, thrashing drums and nonchalant vocals, ‘Hey Mr. DJ’ exudes the effortlessly cool New York sound of their older peers. 

Also featured is the even more dirgy ‘Lucky Number Nine,’ while Liars’ remix is a characteristically grinding and sinister vision of the apocalypse.  On 7”, CSS give the song an electro punk makeover and take it to the clubs, which the Tiny Masters Of Today will have to wait for a few years to enjoy. With fans like David Bowie and Karen O, Tiny Masters are not a gimmick, they’re just starting young.
