Is Little Boots The Next Queen of Disco?

Touted by some as the new Queen of Disco, Victoria Hesketh, aka Little Boots has written a snazzy little pop tune called "Meddle" that has absolutely nothing to do with Pink Floyd. In fact, your brain will be more likely to register it as Hot Chip-y, with a little Robyn-ese thrown in for good measure. I'm not ready to hand her the prestigious, aforementioned title, but I like what I hear so far.

You can download a free mix by Little Boots on her new website and keep an eye out for a 7" release of "Meddle," along with remixes. Here's the track list for the free mix:

Goldfrapp - "Happiness" (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve remix)
Sally Shapiro - "Time To Let Go" (Lindstrom remix)
Hot Chip - "My Piano"
Little Boots - "Magical" (demo version)
Charlie - "Spacer Woman"
Celebration - "Hands Off My Gold" (SMD remix)
Los Angeles TF - "Magical Body"
Primary 1 - "Hold Me Down" (The Shoes remix)
SMD - "Hotdog" (Cosmo Vitelli remix)
Little Boots - "Stuck On Repeat" (Fake Blood remix)

*Kudos for including Charlie's "Spacer Woman"--definitely a cosmic disco classic.
