Domino

They're quite established in the electro scene for now, and certainly need no introduction whatsoever. However, I find both this music and video heart striking! I'm talking about The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 and their "Domino".



Oh, and by the way!

Etienne de Crecy LIVE!

After Daft Punk brought us the pyramid, fellow frenchman Etienne de Crecy brings us the cube. If you visit this blog you're interested in music; and if you're interested in engineering/technology you'll appreciate this concept even more.

Not worth wasting my time and yours trying to explain it, so here it is.

Eat your heart out at 3:18 and 3:45!!

Track: Etienne de Crecy - Fast Track

Just when you thought you've seen everything...

..POGO! He's a 21 year old music producer from Perth Australia who's making music entirely from sounds in movies. Simply genius.

Hello!
Nothing much to say here. A band, Friendly Fires, who I like (ALOT!), remixed by Holy Ghost, from probably the best label around, DFA! EnJoY.

Sehr gut Klaus !? Klaaaaaauuusss ? Wo bist du?

PS: Thanks PT for the long absence.

Danger

I've recently discovered Danger, a French DJ whose music is heavily influenced by 80s synth pop music, video games and soundtracks. In fact, I've been so addicted to his songs that I decided to make this post - my first. His sound is similar in some ways to that of the Valerie collective and some other new French electro artists - some of which are not actually French :) - but I feel Danger is a bit darker and more atmosferic. Enjoy.



The video is one of the submissions to a competition he organized, where participants are supposed to match random videos with his songs.

Mission Accomplished

Finally managed to get this up! Its not new, but I could't find this anywhere else on the net so ended signing up to SoundCloud.

Hope you enjoy this track as much as I do. It´s Zombie Nation´s remix of The Presets' "This boys in love"

Deja Vu

This clip reminds me so much of Miami Horror's "Sometimes" brought to us by Cpt. Skarr himself.

Its the video for "Luv Deluxe" from Cinnamon Chasers directed by Saman Keshavarz. Although the song is really cool, the clips' concept seems to overpower it, and the song basically ends up like a great soundtrack for this 5min trip.

Thanks 2009

Bring the Noise!

This was Mixhells amazing finale at SoulwaXmas Antwerp 2009. Performing Switch´s "A bit patchy" on percussion were: Igor Cavalera (Mixhell), steve (soulwax), steph (soulwax), Bert (Goose) and Matt (Das Pop.)

BTW, Mixhell= Igor Cavalera + Laima Leyton (Igors wife)

Beats in Space

My good friend Louis (aka lb) recommended me some time ago a weekly radio show in New York called Beats in Space. I've come to really enjoy it and nowadays whenever a new podcast is released I'm thrilled. And this week is no exception! Featured guest is the well known Juan Atkins that at the age of 47 keeps showing us why he and his boys (Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson - the Belleville Three) made techno back in Detroit.



"Beats In Space is a radio show mixed live by Tim Sweeney and guests in New York City on WNYU 89.1 FM every Tuesday night from 10:30pm to 1:00am. The show began in the fall of 1999 and has not missed a week since then."

It's freazing outside!

I don't know who Todd Terje (of real name Terje Olsen) is, but everytime I play this he brings the summer back!

Magic Disco

Phillipa "Pip" Brown (born in 1979) better known by her stage name Ladyhawke is a New Zealand singer-songwriter. She was formerly a part of the Wellington band Two Lane Blacktop named for the 1970s road movie of the same name. (via Wikipedia)

But more than that, Ladyhawke also begins to be known around for her great participation in other projects as well as some remixers after her songs. And this one is no exception. It just puts me out of orbit in an astrodisco mood!

Logical Awesome

Since music is not only about the sound (?), here's something different...

Truckers Delight

I heard this wicked remix froma Alex Gopher on Flairs´ "Truckers Delight" on a radio show, so I so I went to listen to it again on youtube. There, I found what I think is to be the official video clip of the original song. Although the original song already dates back from last year, the remix and this clip were only released recently. Besides appreciating the animation work bringing back the old 8-bit video game graphics I grew up on, I think it´s really funny clip.

Whats the capital of Thailand? BANGKOK!!

Heres Boris Dlugosh's latest that I suspect is gonna get a lot of plays =) Its called "Bangkok" and its out on Erol Alkan's Phantasy record label. Sehr gut Ja!!

A-trak

So lets do some homework on A-trak ahead of the party on Decemebr 3rd

(via Wikipedia)
Born in Montreal 1982, Alain Macklovitch (aka A-trak) was the first DJ to win all three major DJ competition titles (DMC, ITF and Vestax), as well as being the first DJ to win five World Championships. He´s also the youngest ever winner of the DMC World DJ Championship having won at the age of 15!
He´s the younger brother of David Macklovitch from Chromeo, and co-founder of record label Fools Gold.
Kanye West recruited him as his personal tour DJ.

Recently he´s worked with Armand van Helden under the name Duck Sauce. Heres what they have to say:

With stuff as good as this "You´re Nasty" the Duck Sauce is more than approved!

Heres a link to a recent set of his at, the one and only, I Love Techno 2009, and you might wanna watch out for his mad scratch skills, specially the way he treats Daft Punk right at the end ;)

For more listening you can also get his work on FabricLive45
