Anybody who's anybody (blog-ly) knows, or has read about, Riva Starr; this guy is generating blog-revenue and I've decided to jump on the wagon. Last.fm shows that his second most listened track is I Was Drunk , which I honestly cannot bare (I just do not get it; it's uninspired and sounds like...aggh, must not ruin the cipher). But Dance Me totally debunks my disdain for the aforementioned track. The vocals on Dance Me juxtaposed with the tribal bass just works...it just works. [...]
Yo guy, let The Bloody Beetroot's remixes commence. The duo takes an abrasive approach [familiar] to a classically-minded piece of Etienne De Crécy . Feast your ears on the elegant conclusion...like toothpaste kisses. Etienne De Crécy - Welcome (The Bloody Beetroots remix) [ Alt ]
It seems like ages since Surkin released anything new is right! European radio waves has broadcasted Surkin's new number, Fan Out , which is the characteristic French house with a Chicago flare; Surkin has house music oozing through his veins. Surkin, drop an album on us in 2010, will ya? Surkin - Fan Out (Radio Rip) [ Alt ]
I'll beat that bird with a bat. I'll beat that bird with a bat. I'll beat that bird with a bat. I'll eat that bird with a cat. Justin Martin & Claude VonStroke - Beat That Bird [ Alt ]
After a little bit of last.fm digging, I found enough snazzy concerts worthy of a post. 20 March is going to be cream. 6 February, John Dahlback @ Footwork 11 February, Drop The Lime , AC Slater , Jokers of the Scene , Nacho Lovers @ The Mob Club 27 February, Vitalic @ Wrongbar 4 March, Yacht @ Wrongbar 11 March, Neon Indian @ Lee's Palace 12 March, [...]
New Young Pony Club's second album, Chaos , will be released on 08 March, 2010. Let's see how chaotic the Ice Cream outfit can be.
Remember I fucked my American cunt. I loved my English romance? The Teenagers have been awfully quiet in terms of new material. They are, however, touring Europe. When they do create new material, will they stick to the non-chalant indie electro pop or unleash a brand new style? The featured remix points to the prior but we shall see what's in store for the brash trio. We Are Infant Terrible - Snap Dragon (The Teenagers remix) [ Alt ]
Fan Death's extended play is upon us and with it is a new track, Soon (also Power Surge , which you'll only get to listen to if you grab their EP and trust me, Power Surge is genius). Soon does not shy away from the dramatic disco that Fan Death fashions and if you pay close attention to the bridge, you might elicit tearful eyes; oh so delicious you are Fan Death. Fan Death's full length album is also set for 2010 so keep an eye out. I [...]
Mustang is a duo from Belgium responsible for italo disco ala synthesis; num num num num. Seriously, Mustang's brand of italo disco is first-class. The exotic riff in The Cockatoos (a hipster bird by the way) is infectious and oh so 80s. Head on over to their myspace page for even more disco goodness. Mustang - The Cockatoos [ Alt ]
MAKE THE GIRL DANCE [KILL ME] (official video) Uploaded by placeblancherec . - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.
TIGER UPPERCUT! Sorry... Tiger & Woods might want to consider a name change, Google is a son of a bitch. Tiger & Woods is entrenched in mystery. Who is Tiger & Woods? Girl? Boy? Old? Young? Lights on or off? Regardless of Tiger & Woods' cosmology, disco could not have sounded any better. It sounds like old school discotheque is cut and sampled and revived for 2010. Disco is far from its demise, YO! Tiger & Woods - Gin Nation [ Alt ] [...]
Bobermann's Mitsubitchi remix is ecstasy (arguably, 2010s first most anticipated remix). Mitsubishi has their next commercial. The Subs - Mitsubitchi (Bobermann remix) [ Alt ]
Breakbot is here. Breakbot is there. Breakbot is everywhere! What are the policies behind remixes? Are they motivated by record labels or is it up to the artist? Of course, there are musicians that hire others to do remixes of their music but that money has to go to the record label before it goes to the remixer. It's curious, Breakbot has been awfully busy - from remixes to productions, Breakbot is working hard at becoming disco's number one smooth operator. As for the remixes? They are nothing short of amazing. Breakbot turns anything into [...]
The corporate fat cats at Dim Mak are finally releasing Felix Cartal's long playing record on 23 February. The single, Popular Music, is generating proper momentum (on the blogosphere) for Cartal's release. In the spirit of subjectivity, however, I ask...how do you wholeheartedly unabashedly feel about Popular Music ? Felix Cartal - Popular Music [ Alt ]
Young Marble Giants - Eating Noddemix [ Alt ]
SayCet is Pierre Lefeuvre, a French music composer that finds inspiration in Boards of Canada and Múm . SayCet's first full-length album has received acclaim (by TRAX and Les Inrockuptibles), however, it is not the focus of this post. The focus of this post is Lefeuvre teaming up with vocalist Phoene Somsavath (pictured above) to create emotions through music that, as it would seem, stem from the inner depths of their psyche catacombs. "Saycet's music is an invitation to daydreaming and would perfectly lend [...]
Hey Neon Indian , can you give the serene Au Revoir Simone an 80s makeover? Oh, make sure to keep the smooth vocals intact, no distorted nonsense. Au Revoir Simone - Another Likely Story (Neon Indian remix) [ Alt ] The Field has an awesome legal name. That name is...Axel Willner. How would techno sound from a guy named Alex Willner? Blissful. [...]
Oh techno, how I love thee; I love thee more than I love toe-socks. Do you also love techno as much as thee? Or are you a toe-sock fan!? Alex Flatner - Perfect Circles [ Alt ] Alex Flatner - Perfect Circles (Joey Beltram remix) [ Alt ]
First on the agenda, another genius combination; the funky Siriusmo remixes the equally funky (arguable) Breakbot and his new track Baby I'm Yours. Second on the agenda is the original Baby I'm Yours . If Breakbot remains steady with his style of French disco, by 2010s end, Breakbot will be an electro deity...that or indie kids will be grooving to his jams when the lights go out and the bed sheets cover all. Breakbot - Baby I'm [...]
