Mentasm
How good is this... done by Blu in Berlin.
Amazing! As is everything the Brazilian maestro touches.
This is around London somewhere apparently... anyone seen it?
You can get a couple of his prints from Pictures on Walls. They're on my list... but so are a lot of things!
Ah yes, the music.
A fresh exclusive from the Merok label - part-time home of Klaxons, The Teenagers & Crystal Castles, is this bitching new remix of Comanechi from those Gentleman Drivers.
It sounds a bit like the ultimate Crystal Castles track to me... 8-bit tinged, with a repeated vocal loop and a very danceable beat. Everything i've heard by Gentlemen Drivers has been quality, and this is no exception. It would be vying with David E Sugar for Headphonesex Single of the Week, if there was such a thing.
COMANECHI - DEATH OF YOU (GENTLEMAN DRIVERS REMIX)
Also bitching is the Passions remix, which you should check out here....
Speaking of Merok, and of Crystal Castles, i'm sure you'd all like to hear their latest mentalistic remix. I'm getting curiouser and curiouser as to how they do this shit live. But perhaps some dark secrets should remain so. Look what happened to Harry Potter when he started nosing around the darkside....
(not that I know or care what happened to Harry Potter, but I reckon it was probably something bad)
This is what the Soho Dolls look like by the way, in case it inspires you to seek out their original material:
This is a slightly different version to the one that appears on the single... so you can download this and buy the single as well if it grabs you by the balls (or tits).
SOHO DOLLS - TRASH THE RENTAL (CRYSTAL CASTLES REMIX)
More hottness comes from the new album by Melbourne's Midnight Juggernauts, Dystopia. And it's excellent, as anyone who's heard 'Shadows' or 'Tombstone' would probably expect. Check this euphoric space disco anthem... which should get the boys frugging & the girls circling their handbags. Tune!
Early copies of the album come with a bonus CD as well... though as yet it's not been quality controlled by myself.
MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS - ROAD TO RECOVERY
Time for a little relaxation now, courtesy of Iceland's Mum. They're another well regarded band who i've never listened to, and whose extensive back catalogue it now seems I will have to raid.
This track comes as the b-side of forthcoming single 'They Made Frogs Smoke Until They Exploded', and is some lovely folky electronica. It sounds to me a bit like a pastoral Metronomy. With added accordian. It's nice yeah.
