Chromeo – Night by Night

Chromeo are probably the greatest Canadians ever! high praise when you consider the only other great Canadians who are Constable Benton Fraser his wolf Diefenbaker, Bryan Adams and Terrence and Phillip.

They describe their music as “a shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop which ruled the eighties.” Cant think of a better way to describe it really
They have 2 excellent albums ‘Shes in control’ (i think) and ‘fancy footwork’ which are both at the very least worth a download.

Anyway what a long way to tell you that they have an sweet new song out the Disco inspired Night by Night click the art to ave a listen on zippyshare!

Dizzee Rascal – Tounge ‘N’ Cheek

Superduper Aussie Cantilever

In the words of the immortal Jay-z “Oh Wow”.

FUCK 3D

I have been trying these out this week (only at home I dont think outside is ready for them yet!) but Life is indeed better in 2d. Just think about it for a second Classic Street fighter 2 turbo or Street fighter 4? Mario on the nes or Mario on the N64? its pretty obvious. All i need now is some kind of lens to pixelate everything.
FUCK 3D is the first Speed Project by Aram Bartholl
of F.A.T.

Jay-Z – Blueprint 3

Jay-z’s latest album havent finished listening myself yet but in my opinion he has never ever released a bad album so you probably should download it!
As always click the album art to download!

Update the album is excellent except the swizz beatz track which is shit.

here are some extra tracks that didn’t make the album for whatever reason

Un petit mix pour toi

I felt inspired to do a set so after a lengthy search for music and a couple of false starts this is what I have.

all but one of the songs are French don’t let that put you off though!

Albums you should probably own #2

Modeselektor – Happy Birthday! (2007)

if you want to hear some Happy metal, hard rap, country-ambient and Russian crunk this is the only album for you. Genre jokes aside this is a quality album they have covered a scooter song and actually made it good (hyper hyper and give it a chance). Consistently awesome bass lines Guest apperances from Thom Yorke and my favourite french group TTC (more on them later) are all excellent reasons why you should click the album art to download the full album.

My 2 favourite songs atm

Neither of these songs are new, perhaps new-ish but they are just working for me this week and i thought i should share the wealth.

The Girl and the Robot by Röyksopp
I have been caning this for a month at first i thought it was just a novelty I enjoy robots so why not a song about one? but my enjoyment has not waned in fact I think I enjoy it more now. Even Robyn and her ridiculous quiff aren’t enough to put me off.
The greatness is instant a fade to grey esque opening with a gaggle of tormented singing robots then is that annie lennox at 0:15? “a demented, choral, electronic masterpiece”

Next up is a Duo by the name of N.A.S.A. with a song called gifted featuring a super special guest appearance by none other than Kanye. I had no idea this song had been released as i pay no attention to the radio or mtv only found out about it whilst scouting for new songs to work into a set (coming soon!).

Electronic music and Rap together makes me happy The chorus at 2:09 is what I especially like though its just so bloody infectious the keyboard melody that runs through said chorus is also excellent
have a look and listen for yourself!
