Roisin talked about this song a few weeks ago, but I didn't expect it to surface quite so soon. But here we have it: Simulation, a collaboration with a mystery producer from northern England.
9 minutes of deep house bliss. Enjoy!

Electonic Beats interview
A short yet informative interview with Roisin at the Electronic Beats festival in Zagreb the other day. She speaks of a few new collaborations that will be released some time in the future.
How does it feel as an independent artist these days?
Fine, good. I haven't been doing very much music recently, but I'll get back into it.
Any plans to return to EMI or not?
I don't know, what we'll release next.
After 'Orally Fixated', 'Demon Lover' and 'Momma's Place', there haven't been any new releases, you've been pregnant with your daughter. How did this huge personal step influence you as an artist?
Well, I took a lot of time off; and quite often I think, I was ready and then realised I wasn't. I didn't quite have the identity to go for with the whole album. I didn't have in mind the kind of an artist, that I want to be … after baby … after 6 albums. And this is still forming for me, to be honest.
Did you work on any new songs since then?
Yes, I've worked on few bits & pieces. I have recorded a track with David Morales, and that will be on his record, I've done a big, sexy song called Simulation with some people, and it will be performed tonight.
Your latest new work comes in form of a duet: Tony Christie's '7 Hills' …
Friends of mine from Sheffield were working on an album and asked me to write a track and it turned into a duet.
There were quite a lot of collaborations for you lately. Why did you choose to focus on collaborations?
It's really hard to answer why I do those things, but basically things just come into my life. People chose me already and I've just reacted. It's more a reaction then a proaction recently, so if somebody ask me to do something I like, Ill do it. And usually that's how everything works in my life. I allow it to kinda happen to me. And that's how my career has always been - I'm waiting for things to happen.
When will your next solo release come out and what can we expect from it?
I don't know and I don't know.
You previewed your song 'Demon Lover' for the first time during the Viktor & Rolf 2009 Paris Fashion Week show. How did this came together?
They just asked me to collaborate musically and I did something almost like now, DJ and sang. Simple as that.
Any plans of repeating this kind of event?
There are always things going on with connection to fashion for me. I love it, so you never know.

The making of Boadicea
This is how Boadicea, Roisin's currently single with Dutchmen Mason, came about:
Dutch duo Iason Chronis and Coen Berrier had always been massive fans of Roisin’s since hearing her on early Moloko tracks in their formative years. Having sent over a bunch of their latest ideas it wasn’t long before the Irish diva was enlisted as another star performer on They Are Among Us.
A heavily pregnant Miss Murphy entered a borrowed London studio and over the course of a day came up with the magical performance on Boadicea, somehow inspired by the ancient revolutionary warrior queen! What started life as a slow, deep Italo influenced groove turned into something much more special.
“Working with Roisin was really inspiring” Iason reflects of the recording session. “She breezed into the room and just became this creative machine of ideas as soon as the mic was switched on and stuck in front of her”.

Roisin & The Bullitts debuts
Just a few weeks into the new year and we get some fantastic new music from Roisin & The Bullitts. The song is based on the theme song from the classic TV series The Persuaders.
Send me your worst
The smile or the hearse
The flowers, the tear drops
Whichever comes first
But seek and you'll find
A dagger enshrined
You persuade me to thank you in kind
With heart on the line
Make haste the time
The knife or the poison
Whichever the crime
But with grand design
And life on a dime,
You persuade me to thank you in kind
