I introduced Beaufort to Bigstereo a little while ago. I mentioned he was also a talented filmmaker.
This clip has been around for awhile, and you’ve probably already seen it. But it’s finally been cleared by the right people and now we can give him credit. Quincey Beaufort’s film clip of “Fun Punch” by Bagraiders……
And here is some of his audio talent:
Mono4 was kind enough to send us their contribution to Buffet Libre’s Rewind project… a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough.” Ah man, I am so in love with everything this band does… eighties covers and all:
Mono4 - “Just Can’t Get Enough”
I’m pretty sure if you look closely you can spot Agyness Deyn in the original video. She hasn’t aged a day:
Ok, head over to Buffet Libre to check out other favorites covering/remixing/editing hits from the 80’s.
Hot Chip’s “Made in the Dark” is seriously my favorite album of the year so far. I can’t even explain how much I am in love with the album and you should be too. Let’s talk about which song you love the most, which one makes you feel warm and fuzzy, which one makes you shake the most, which one do you sing in the shower, which one have you coreographed in your head… TELL ME! Ok, I have to settle down. So back to business, they are gonna be touring in September and NO ONE should miss them! Start selling your shit at Buffalo Exchange and get some tickets. Here’s the video for “One Pure Thought”

It’s been about a week after the Crookers extravaganza in NYC where Dave 1 was providing the beats in Magnum PR’s room. We were able to catch up with Dave over the phone while he worked in the studio in Montreal. We chatted about Chromeo’s recent projects, their influence, a tripped out kids show called Yo! Gabba Gabba, and what lies ahead after the Fancy Footwork tour has ended.
What did you think of the event last week?
Yeah, it was good. I’m happy for those dudes (Crookers). I’m a fan of what they do so I’m happy to see them do their thing.
You guys are going to be hitting a lot of summer festivals soon…
I guess we’re going to do all the Canadian and American ones first and then we’re going to Europe in late August.
Are they any different in Europe than they are here?
Yeah, they’re definitely more of a festival culture there then they are here but at the same time, some of the best festivals are in North America, like Coachella, you know? But the festivals in the U.K. are always a bit of an adventure, you know? My brother’s a dj as well [his brother is A-Trak] and he was at Glastonbury this weekend and he was stranded over there until 5 in the morning and he had to sleep in a tent. You know, and you don’t get that over here.
Do you two ever end up at the same festivals?.. after the Jump »»
June’s favorite tracks — good to see that my number one was also your number one.
P-p-party rap ebbs and flows. The Keyishe’s “Hollywood to Tokyo” sounds more akin to electroclash than new rave — which in this current soundscape somehow manages to be refreshing. These kids keep it stripped down and kinda minimal by channeling some classic freestyle and electro. “H2T” seems to have its money on the fact that maximal is destined to be on the ebb.
The Keyishe - “Hollywood to Tokyo”
Ok, and stop whatever it is you’re doing and head over to their MySpace and listen to “Beat Box Love.” While “Hollywood to Tokyo” is fun and all, “Beat Box Love” is playful and raw — showcasing that The Keyishe are full of potential and something new.

Oh, and on the party rap tip — make sure you head over to RCRDLBL and check out the JFK (of MSTRKRFT) remix of Kid Sister’s “Control.”
This photo and mixtape make me long for an endless summer. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik is the side project of Riton. For all you classical music buffs, “Eine Kleine Nacht Musik” is also a composition by Mozart and translates to “a small serenade” or “a little night music” (according to Wikipedia). Anyway. If this mixtape is any hint of things to come then we should be in store for a cinematic, rich and lush debut album from Eine Kleine Nacht Musik.
Eine kleine Nacht musik German only mixtape
Eine Kleine Nacht Musik’s self titled is due out on Modular July 14th.

Sebastien Grainger (ex-DFA1979) is set to drop his first release under the moniker The Rhythm Method (his “party” alias). But when you hear “party” don’t think electro bangers in the style of his ex-bandmate’s MSTRKRFT… or even along the lines of “Let’s Make Out” by DIOYY in which Grainger leant vocals. The double A-side features some smooth late night party jamms showcasing a sophisticated style.
The Rhythm Method - “When You Go Out”
Cover art above by Will Sweeney (obvs). You can purchase the 7 inch on 50 Bones’ MySpace. Oh and make sure you head over there in listen to “Renegade Silence” — it’s my favorite of the two.
Disque Primeur sent us over Goon & Koyote’s EP release “Wellness Is Wild”. DJ Goon and DJ Koyote have been handling the french house and tittie booty bass scene next to some of the top players in the scene and their last release “Diamond Grills” was a must have for every fan of booty house music. This time they come to us with 3 self-produced original tracks and two remixes by Dre Skull and Dikulous’ Zulu. Here’s a teaser for your taste buds.
Roshambo are basically just dudes. 4 dudes in fact. Sleater Brockman, Spruce Lee, Moriarty and Jimmy Sing make up the collective. Have you ever seen the ad on tv I think it is selling tinned fruit or something? Anyway the famous Australian kayakers the awesome foursome are in the ad humming a tune. I’ve just had word ROSHAMBO have been casted to do a sci-fi prequel to the ad. It’s going to be cutting edge in advertisement.
Here is their latest mixtape.

I almost skipped past this remix — for similar reasons expressed recently by Nik at BiBaBiDi — but I gave it a second and was actually kinda pleasantly surprised. Ed Bangers All Stars (Busy P and DSL) deliver something a bit different than the formulaic bangers we’ve grown immune to… Ok, so maybe not something totally different but this kinda channels the club kids a la party monster. I imagine some kid painted in hot pink rolling around on the floor listening to this.
Gomma’s Munk usually brings out the best in other producers, artists and remixers. Ed Banger Allstars take on “Live Fast Die Old” follows this tradition.

Purchase at the usual spots… like Beatport or Juno.

South Central are back with a remix for the new Sneaky Sound System single “Pictures.” This is less of a banger than some of South Central’s previous work and feels like a tease with the original song — stretched out and distorted at all the right moments:

South Central also recently did a video dj mix which is viewable on YouTube — a new dimension to the mix tape!
