Back To The Good Ol' Days


There was a time when, way before they all came and played their Liquid Liquid samples, you just had to walk down the Rex Club's cavern, order your mojito and enjoy.
Can it be so simple?

Can't Get Enough Of It

If the Person Pitch album (recently named the 2007 Album of the Year by Pitchforkmedia, Tiny Mix Tapes and Fact Magazine) didn't feed you right, if you would like some more, don't ask, just serve yourself in the Take Pills 7" dish.

21 Mixes For Cash


K7! sortira à la fin du mois de fevrier une compilation de remixes, exclus et autres grigris de champion du monde de la techno Carl Craig/C2/Innerzone/Tres Demented/69/...

Malheureusement les deux disques sont mixés et la pochette est moche (on dirait une pub Nike avec Robinho), mais en jettant un coup d'oeil aux Dj Kicks, on s'aperçoit rapidement que K7! n'a jamais été non plus super doué pour les pochettes.

Ci-dessous deux remixes. Le premier de Junior Boys ne décolle jamais totalement mais reste suave et sexy comme il faut. Le second de la Big Mama du Cap Vert est une tuerie absolue. Une longue intro et puis, hop, un gros synthé arpéggié, un charley, la voix loopée et ca monte. Et puis le clap ultime, qui dure tout le long et qui donne un truc incroyablement hypnotique au morceau.

Sun Electric


Voila comment le site de Shitkatapult présente Sun Electric. 
"Sun Electric is to ambient music what The Sex Pistols is to punk music. But since electronic abandoned the pathetic poses of rock music, nobody had to die to make this unique band history".

Nous ne nous attarderons pas ici sur Ricardo V.
Mais les lecteurs attentifs remarquerons que ce remix est assez différents des derniers travaux du Chilien volant (Fizheuer N, Fabric,...) Plus geek, plus IDM, on dirait du Fennesz ou du Rechenzentrum (cf ci-dessous).

Un morceau pour musicologues en quelque sorte. Histoire de murmurer, incrédule et soucieux, devant son laptop: "Oui, c'est ... intéressant."

Melancolia

I'll seek out the things that must have been magic to your little girl mind"

Dancing Graffiti


Kiki is definately one of our favorite artists over at Did you see the words. Almost every release from the Bpitch Control dude is a hit and I am pretty sure that tracks such as Hott! or Universal will still make me dance when I'll be sixty four.

His last release is maybe more dark and techno, less festive and more uptight, but still it's just so classy. And even if it sounds at first like the average progressive minimal track that you've heard about a million times on Mobilee, well then it's one of the best you've heard.

I ♠ KTDJ


kill-the-dj  |kil ze did jay|
Record label based in Paris, released works from Ivan Smagghe, Chloé, Jennifer Cardini, Krikor... Symbol of a certain idea of the love of music: obscure, open-minded, wild, awkward, raw, underground, exciting, passionate, dark, without boundaries. After having been excommunicated in the early 10's by French Ministre de la Culture David Guetta (sic), they emigrated to Berlin, where they organise the resistance in the backrooms of the Watergate.

Syn: Factory, Warp, Perlon.

---

In some decades from now, their parties at Pulp will be in history handbooks and their visuals will decorate the french flag.

And if Ivan Smagghe looks like Jesus, well, it's not totally a coincidence.

On vous aura prévenu.


Dance the Kommunismus


Kraftwerk are not the only folks from Dusseldorf City to have made groundbreaking music.

Shake Your Hips.
Clap Your Hands.
