Boemtjak , precies een jaar geleden ook al in het eclectronieuws , vestigt opnieuw de aandacht op zich met een film noir AVremix van de magistrale Superpitchertrack Tell me About it uit 2005. Oorspronkelijke beelden by Benjamin Lauwers. The Private Busines (bmtjk AVremix) from boemtjak on Vimeo .

It's a beautiful day here in New Haven, hopefully the true beginning of spring, and not just April Fool's Day coming a day early. Life has been relaxing and hectic at the same time, as I've tended to neglect actual work for the sake of getting out and enjoying myself. Got to be irresponsible while I still can. I found out around the middle of last week that I got funding to go back to Lisbon this summer for archival research, and I am beyond excited. It will be awesome to get back to my friends there, my old haunts, [...]

There are 3 major local ski/snowboard mountains in greater Vancouver. Cypress , Grouse and Seymour mountains respectivly. On these 3 mountains people work. On Mondays all of the workers get together for a night of crazy called Mountain Madness Mondays at a bar called The Royal in downtown V. Schitz Popinov Djs provide the soundtrack to the debauchery. A few that went off last night...... Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At (Robbie Rivera Mix) [...]

C'est bien parce que c'est Noël qu'on donne des cours de rattrapages aux retardataires.

Ahoy there. I just got the new Metro Area Fabric CD and nearly pissed myself listening to the intro. Love those dudes. Great idea, I'll post some! I swear I heard Morgan Geist talking on Beats In Space about a new Metro Area release that came out recently, but after minimal searching I can't really find anything. Any ideas? Anyway, here are a couple of my faves of theirs. Orange Alert is a total classic of course, and coming back to it after listening to the DFA remix non stop was really refreshing! The arrangement, sounds, [...]

I was in Ottawa this week and was able to spend some quality time with the Persian Prince. Inspired by having watched a couple of episodes of America's Best Dance Crew, I told some people that he had moved to the city to pursue a professional break dancing career and was going by the name Farid B. Real. They thought that was really cool and didn't even really question the opportunities for professional break dancing in Canada's capital city. At the end of the night, the Persian Prince batmanned and I had to walk home by [...]

Kompakt continue with the annual 'Total' series with the release of Kompakt Total 9. Featuring absolute KILLER tracks from DJ Koze, Maxime Dangles, Superpitcher vs The Congosound and Joerg Burger it another essential album from Michael Mayer's motley crew. Here's the best use of a Soul 2 Soul sample we've heard in aaaaaaages to illustrate the point. Superpitcher - Disko! (You Don't Care) I urge everybody to go and buy this as it's utterly essential - get it from Phonica here .
Well, what to say? Have I ever heard anything that's been put out by Kompakt that is bad? Erm. Short answer, NO. Kompakt Total 9 is a celebration of 15 years of the label based in Cologne,... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Sascha Funke - Mango Tobias Thomas and Superpitchers Como Mango Version) Holiday now. Back soon.

We get a lot of e-mails here from bands/DJ's telling us about their new creations and generally bigging themselves up. This is all very well (promotion is the name of the game these days), but our ears pricked up when we received a communication from Portland duo Saudade telling us that their new record, 'The Hooded One's', has been a curse since it's conception. They describe it as 'weird not ambient shoe shit gaze acousmatic noisy garage'. We describe it as fucking mint. And they're giving it away for nish at the moment, head on over to their [...]
Two nights ago was what was probably my last concert of the summer here in Lisbon. I went with friends to see Bonde do Role at Lux . I didn't know quite what to expect out of it, having only listened to parts of With Lasers and hearing from my Brazilian friends that they recently added two new MCs, one of whom was a pro, and the other who won an American Idol style contest. I wound up being blown away. When performing, Gorky (the big dude) would start up [...]

Ça fait quelques jours que je scotche complètement sur ce remix de One Pure Thought de Hot Chip par Supermayer. Supermayer est le duo formé par les deux allemands Michael Mayer (le brun) et Superpitcher (le blond aka Aksel Schaufler). Le premier est le boss de l'excellentissime label Kompakt, figure de proue de la minimale allemande (genre qui est un peu en perdition il me semble) mais dont je ne connais pas trop les disques. Le deuxième, Superpitcher avait sorti le superbe Here Comes Love , un [...]

Pas trop de trucs qui remontent comme ça quand je pense à 2004.. Gregory Lemarchal remporte la saison de Star Academy 4, les Choristes cartonnent, et la sonde Cassini-Huygens traverse les anneaux de Saturne et en envoie les premières images (pour tous les passionés de l'espace: www.cbs.nu). MATHEW JONSON Decompression (M_nus) 123 Sans des morceaux comme ça, Get [...]
La cosa vantaggiosa di lavorare per un'azienda di Turìn è che, pagando il prezzo di un italiano incomprensibile fatto di "hai voglia di, fai che fare, di oggi, fai più che, com'è, diofà", anche un'improvvisa trasferta fino all'ultimo minuto priva di appuntamenti garantisce le sue soddisfazioni. Non me ne vogliano i Disco Drive in chiusura di tour all'Hiroshima e Giovanni Lindo Ferretti con le sue giumente in quel di Settimo Torinese, ma il clou della prima serata era altrove. Xplosiva e QOOB riunite per EVA, una due giorni dedicata all'ElectroVideoAmbiente, hanno presentato una serie di showcase elettronici gratuiti in orari [...]

So like any self respecting blog I'll post my end of year tracks. Actually this is sort of the best time of year for blogs - If you surf around a bit, you'll find all the good tidbits of the year. Not sure if it's been one of the better years, but a lot of good stuff has surfaced. Considering this has been a year of the clash I'm amazed at the relatively few classics that have been born of that genre. Without further delay the top 15 for 2008: 15 - Wale - W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

Move D, "Anne Will" (My My remix) [ Liebe Detail Spezial ] Superpitcher, "Mushroom" [ Kompakt ] Fan Erhalder, "Ion Water" [ Geilomat Records ]

A mix for patio-parties underneath shimmering sunshine. Electro, house, pop, etc - the kids in skinny jeans and skin-tight t-shirts (cap-sleeves! yeooo!) are listening to this music while they eat their lunch. A few guys with cardigans and scarves on are sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, and listening to this music. Some guys playing basketball - behind a school / beside a play-park - have got their sneakers on and when they rest they absorb the sunshine and the music. They love the beats. They love their dancing feet. They love to shimmy, sway, sashay across the court. [...]
