Digitalism Interview
Digitalism are two German record store employees who decided to hunker down in a WWII bunker in Hamburg and make a giant indie electronic crossover album instead of just running the till. I missed Jence a few times but got his bangin' techno voicemail where I left messages like a jilted love. I decided that wasn't enough to write about so I tried again and actually conducted a proper interview.
Mike Relm / Interview
Mike Relm is as badass as they come. He has won turtablism championships, plays live with completely original video DJ'ing mash-ups, and is just releasing his first album that features Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Mr. Lif, and Lateef the Truth Speaker. He is coming to Australia with Good Vibrations festival and we think he is the underdog of the lineup, but the one who will blow you away the most.
Battles
Just like hookers must get sick of sex, I gotta tell you sometimes I get overwhelmed with music - and it leaves me flacid. It's nice to know there are still great new bands out there that give me a boner. Last year's MIRRORED by BATTLES gave me a raging stiffy. While effortless ease, BATTLES blast out a sound that's entirely new, yet totally welcoming.
So Frency, So Chic
Nobody does a cover as sweetly and subversively as Nouvelle Vague. "Sweet” and “Subversive” are a great coupling and they are flashin’ it around at The Metro on Thursday night. So I hope you’ve got your tickets already or I don’t like your chances. They are playing alongside Emilie Simon, as the SO FRENCHY, SO CHIC tour.
