Herr Doktor

Brazilian futuristic know-how from "Herr Doktor" in this Futuremix delivered for Valerie. 

Herr Doktor's passion for all things retro strikes a very real note with me. He has a thing for old 8-bit cartridges of games for the old Nintendo and Sega machines. I guess we all look back to our childhood as something we want back every now and then.

Now synchronize your watches, turn on your flux capacitors and get ready to see the future!

Business means Business

"Pony Pony Run Run's" summer hit, Hey You, has been hit up with a really cool remix by "Crystal Fighters" just in time for the release of their first album. Adding in some guitar and some cool syntheziser-work they've dissected Hey You and made something very different, yet still really cool. It's also gotten it's very own video, in the form of a traveling commercial for southeast Asia.

On the subject of great remixes I also came upon a great remix of "The Temper Trap's" single, Sweet Disposition by Alan Wilkis. One that doesn't quite chop quite as mercilessly in the original tune as much as the previous remix. Alan doesn't let go of the feel of the original, instead he's able to add a new dimension to it. I like it when remixers are able to do that.

"In The Name Of Science!"

Prof. Huxtable Speaking

-"Dude", he said, "listen to this", he said, "it'll rock your world", he said. 

Hudson Mohawke - FUSE

And it did, "Hudson Mohawke" is at a loss for a better word, just fantastic. FUSE is one of the most epic tracks I've heard this year, this, the year of Crysteena and Apollo. Everything Hudson Mohawke creates is amazingly well-produced and creative, with a kind of electro house deal goin on. Max Justus deffinately comes to mind. He's releasing his first LP on the 26th of October, through the same lable as Tim Exile, whom you can read of here. I for one have my copy pre-ordered, and I suggest you do the same, there's a T-shirt in it for you! You can order it here.

"Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine"

Robot Apocalypse

I made a short posting about "Mille" a while back. Now I would like to rehash the subject. With the release of new material only furthering proof of his godlike ability of producing grade A shit. Mille is a swedish electro chipcore behemoth, it's only a matter of time before they reach the broader stage and have the world in awe. What he has produced so far would make the likes of Daft Punk and Kavinsky green with robot envy. I'm sure I just stepped on a lot of feet there, but yes, I firmly believe that Mille has produced better music than Daft Punk. 

One day when the AI has taken over the universe, Crysteena will be their marching tune as they mercilessly slaughter all innocent organisms. I for one will welcome our new robot overlords.

An unexpected smile

If there is a god, he would listen to "Matamatics". Now of course the idea of an all powerful and all seeing sentient being is ridiculous, right? The Zenith track sounds a lot like "Danger", and that, can only be a good thing. But the real gems are their remixes of Imogen Heap and Drake, underlined by a mellow beat and a feelgood synth they're the kind of track that gets one through the day, and the night to an equal amount. The dance aesthetic is one proudly advanced into by Matamatics. Best I Ever Had disrupts all my senses who cry for stillnes and what commences can only be described as a white boys desperate attempt to dance.

Miami horror

The "Miami horror" is finally reaching into the cookiejar and pulling out it's first single. It's that hit track that you've just been waiting for them to release, and now that it's here - with a beautiful video to boot - it couldn't have gone better. I can't help but feel they're kinda like a downsized version of Bag Raiders though, but I'll have to wait til the finished album hits the shelves sometime next year before I can really evaluate. 

On the subject of the video, I really think that director "Moop Jaw" did a fantastic job with it. Be jealous of their young bodies and minds, be awed by the fantastic scenery, be thrilled by the music.
