Client - In It For The Money 12'' US (MUTE 9252-0)

So, I'm just trying to quickly post some more CLIENT singles for the simple reason, it cuts the number of hits the page gets as they're not as loved by everybody as they obviously shoud be, I mean come on...Andy Fletcher (god rest his soul) bet a small fortune on them. I've got a shitload of singles thanks to AidOO (if you know, you know) that will be drip fed to the community over the next whatever months / weeks. Enjoy!

"In It For The Money" (MUTE 9252-0) is a 2004 US 12-inch vinyl single by the British electronic synth-pop duo Client, serving as the lead release from their second studio album, City. Published via Mute Records and Toast Hawaii—an imprint founded by Depeche Mode's Andrew Fletcher—the four-track record features notable electronic remixes by The Grid, Grand National, The Zip, and Fletcher himself. Mastered by Mandy Parnell and mixed by Paul Tipler, this specific pressing is highly regarded by collectors of 2000s electroclash and synth-pop vinyl.



"In It For The Money" (MUTE 9252-0) stands as a quintessential snapshot of the mid-2000s electroclash movement, delivering a cold, mechanized rhythm section juxtaposed against detached, seductive vocals. The title track thrives on its minimalist synth bassline and biting, cynical commentary on commercialism and industrial isolation, perfectly capturing the dystopian glamour of Client's signature sound. By blending the dark wave sensibilities of early electronic pioneers with the sleek production of modern club music, the single establishes a moody, danceable atmosphere that feels both retro and ahead of its time.
This specific US 12-inch vinyl pressing is elevated by a strong curation of remixes that expand the track's sonic landscape across both sides. The Grid’s sprawling "Static In The Attic Mix" infuses the song with an hypnotic, progressive tech-house groove, while Andrew Fletcher’s "Extended Mix" leans heavily into his classic Depeche Mode roots to provide a club-ready anthem with deep, rich synth layers. Together with punchy interpretations by Grand National and The Zip, this release transforms a brief synth-pop single into a versatile, high-energy package that remains a prized asset for underground DJs and electronic music collectors alike.

    I discovered a great solution for that conundrum. Don't look at the stats.
