Wonderful WTF

Here's a musicvideo from someone called DyE, signed on an esoteric little record company called Tigersushi Records. The video for DyE's new single "Fantasy" is out, and it's a wonderful piece of "WTF?". Seriously, it's awesome.

Yuksek - audio, visuals, wearables

The French DJ Yuksek released the album Living On The Edge Of Time this summer. Like a solid artist Yuksek brings everything to the table. Not only is he a handsome devil...



... But his last single Always On The Run is a blinding party track AND the video is awesome. (Let's get tattoos and go live a reckless life in the desert!)


"Always on the run" - YUKSEK from Savoir Faire on Vimeo.

And better yet, Yuksek has even got his own online shop which offers clean, simple, unpretentious, yet really cool-looking clothing at a cheap price.

Yuksek is in my opinion a true artist.

DJ Kittens

If you're a DJ and you should completely run out of ideas or inspiration, one option could be to resort to the principle of randomness and see if something (a beat, a motif, a line) pops out at you. This guy, for instance, resorted to his kittens for help. Did it work?

Mr. Oizo brings the... noise-o....

*Ba dum tsss!* My apologies for that terrible pun in the title...

Just wanted to update you on Mr. Oizo's upcoming work. Ed Banger records announced on their twitter that "Mr. Oizo is back" and included a link to Mr. Oizo's soundcloud. The track is called "France7" and it's sounding crispy and synthetic. Like you're listening to a computer thinking out aloud...! At the end of the track there's a part that might resemble a French version of dubstep. I think the track is very interesting and cannot wait to hear the rest of the album!

House with a swing

So when doing my usual perusing of the internetz for more house music I stumbled upon something called "electro-swing". It's a genre of house music and the name is sort of self-explanatory. Electro-swing (or swing-house) is a wondrous mixture of old 20s-40s swing, jazz, bop, charleston, you name it + house music. The product is highly amusing and dance inducing. Actually, you'll probably recognise the sound as the megahit "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP was heavily inspired by it.

Have a listen to some swing-house!
