"The French twosome behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo, get away with an awful lot. They go around impersonating aliens and robots in their interviews, they put records out only once every three years, and they make music that evokes a million other artists--while not really sounding like any of them." - Matthew Cooke
"Short Circuit will have you recalling the good old days of hip-hop with its breakbeats and unmistakable ‘80s synth lines." - PopMatters
It's hard to top that, so, just enjoy the track! - VDRK
Kiyoshi: This track was produced in 1999, actually!
It was in the Rex Club mix, but later was cleaned up & released on Discovery in 2001... I love the synth lines. It's what Russ Chimes / Kavinsky / Lifelike / Braxe would do if they were about 15 years younger and it was 10 years ago, right?
Jeff Ramos: Ha! I knew Kiyoshi would've said that. One track in an overflow though? More like just a flow, yeah?
This is actually one of the first songs I tried covering when I was making electronic music back on Propellerhead's old sequencer. I forget what it's called. They don't even make it any more. Rebirth I think? Some crazy shit.
Coming all the way from Madison, WI - I have for you OCD Automatic. He started one of the biggest dance parties in the midwest called DiscoTech. Bringing in awesome guest djs like Diamonds, Designer Drugs, Willy Joy, Sammy Bananas, and myself. This Friday they plan to blow it up again - more info HERE. He knows how to keep the crowd asking for more, check out his mixtape "Thirty Minute Obsession". I also have one of his most recent creations - a remix of Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody. If you like the 80's and you like to dance - download this & play it at your next party - cause dancing is all you'll be doing!
PS. Speaking of Designer Drugs - they just put out a solid remix of Mariah Carey's - I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time. The song is in a remix competition, so you know what to do - VOTE FOR EM!!
Everyone has been going crazy for VEGA - After leaving Ghosthuster and coming to NYC for the summer, he's created something new and amazing. I'd even say he's the 21st century Rick James - see for yourself. VEGA has sent over a little teaser to get your mouth watering. As well as the track thats been spreading like fire 'All to Vivid'. You can also experience All to Vivid in a very vivid homemade music video - HERE. Expect much more to come from this talented man - and we hope to see him in NYC again soon. *wink
