DREAM FACTORY

Norvegian film company Welterwerk is making me love northern Europe even more than I usually do (and this means beyond the human possibilities).
Not only their output is classy, nostalgic and unbelievebly elegant, the coolest thing about this people is that they work with a very down to earth setup: the following video has been shot with an hacked Lumix GH2 camera and some vintage lenses (a japanese one and a german one), which means less than 1000$ of equipment.

In this era of surplus, of fancy people all with their shiny 5Ds, well this just feels so damn good.

LET'S BREAK THE ICE

Luke Million did it again! After the unbelievable success of his pumping iron workout track "Arnold", he's now paying omage to the Califonia's Governor once again, this time with a synth banger track loaded with puns from the 1997 movie Batman and Robin by none other than the "coolest" villain of all times, the one and only Mr. Freeze.

Now that it's clear that Luke has a crush on Arnie, we are pretty sure that he won't have problems to find some good lines to work on for the next years.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

On July the 18th Santeria Milano will bring you 'Analog vs Digital', a show offered from Recipient.cc, a collective of young artists, questioning and pushing the feeble boundaries between art and music. A display of visual and audio perfomances for humans and beyond, questioning the endless contrast between analog and digital, on the tomorrows that will never arrive and the future that could still happen. The sounds of genomes, an animated castle, the robots and other interactive objects will throw you into an imaginary future created from the collective, everything cradled from the live sounds and the analog synths from Rondam.

And here's a little extra from the magic recipient: the sound of the future extracted in the form of an mpfree. Handle with care.

SAY WHAT AGAIN

If you've watched Pulp Fiction so many times to be aware that path of the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men, than you will find Pogo's latest milkshake simply delicious.

REXUAL HEALING

Rex The Triangle made this for the Housse De Racket remix competition, but in the end he didn't make it for the challenge. Quite a pity because it could probably have won... but good for us because now it's a very sweet free download.
Out soon on Kistuné.

MICKEY'S KALEIDOSCOPE

Some nostalgia is just what Ed Banger records was missing, and the freshman is providing some quality one. This is the closing track of Mickey's Moonlight enchanting album "And The Time Axis Manipulation Corporation"
A lot of people may probably find this hippie vocoder sound a little bit old and akward. The same reasons why we're loving it.

HUMAN EXPERIMENTS

Heavenly Father, (aka Ryan Sweeten) journeyed from Utah to pursue a life of art and happiness in Los Angeles twenty-odd years ago. Since his arrival he has been dedicated to a lifestyle of creation and innovation.

DANCE SESSION

Taken from Session Victim's debut album - 'The Haunted House of House' on Delusions of Grandeur, Dark Sienna is such a catcy deep house nugget that it's hard to stay still while listening to it.

Download it from Juno, put your headphones on and dance your weekend away.

DEAR MOMENTS

Since i bought his breakthrough LP Asa Breed in 2007 and played the third track on it, I immediatly twigged that Mattew Dear is not from Detroit but from another galaxy. Depending on whom you ask, he is a DJ, a dance-music producer, an experimental pop artist, a bandleader. Co-founder of the Ghostly International label and its dancefloor offshoot, Spectral Sound, he maintains four aliases (Audion, False, Jabberjaw, and Matthew Dear), each with its own style and distinct visual identity. He straddles multiple musical worlds and belongs to none—and he’s just hitting his stride.

TELEPORT PROGRAMME

We're on a countdown for the Melbourne based producer Cosmo Black's Debut EP Break before you Bend, coming in April 2012. While dreaming about it you can grab the free preview track as long as the limited to one thousand download gift lasts.

DRAGON LOVE

How good does it feel when you find someone with your same taste for something? Well usually it feels quite heart-warming, especially when 98% of the people around you are like from another planet.

Dramatically groovy arpeggios, uplifiting melodies and that retro drum that todays dubstep hipsters could never get: Dragon Suplex from Zürich (Switzerland) are producing a lot of extraordinary dreamy synth tunes and a few classy house tracks to go along with it. No matter the genre, their sound is sublime, and it automatically brings out those early 80's feelings. Freaking awesome throwback videos top it up with extra flavour, here's their latest one featuring Ponch & John as special guest stars.

WONDERSOUND

Nick Bertke, better known as Pogo, records sounds from his favourite games and movies, and piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle to create completely new music.
The following piece of creativity, composed using chords and vocal samples recorded from the original Alice In Wonderland Disney cartoons, is worth much more than the 1.5 million dollars spent for the Tim Burton's movie. No doubt about it.

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR GROOVING

Victoria Christina Hesketh, better known by her stage name Little Boots, is one hell of an artist. Her stage name comes from a nickname given to her by a friend, a reference to her unusually small feet. As a musician, Boots sings and plays the piano, keyboards, synthesizer, Stylophone and a Japanese electronic instrument called Tenori-on.

Into the Future, her latest mixtape is such an high level selection of deep electronic vibes that you can only download it in wave format. Quality deserves quality.

INTO THE FUTURE mixtape by LittleBoots

EXERCISE YOUR MIND

CFCF is the stage name of Canadian electronic musician Michael Silver. Based in Montreal, Silver took the name CFCF from the call sign of the city’s CFCF-TV.

His debut LP, ‘Continent’, was an impressive collage of vintage electronic textures evoking grandiose landscapes worthy of a Michael Mann film. ‘The River’, an EP based partly on Werner Herzog’s classic film Fitzcarraldo, deepened a growing obsession with conjuring far-away landscapes and voyages through a style which is at times melancholy, propulsive and ecstatic. Working in genres ranging from house and disco to ambient and new age to rap and R&B, and pulling influences from Peter Gabriel and Popol Vuh to Mr. Fingers and DJ Screw, CFCF’s music is at once versatile and far-reaching yet eminently listenable and recognizably pop, and always vivid.

Since these two releases Silver has stayed busy with a series of evolving mixtapes. ‘Do U Like Nightbus?’ explores the titular “genre” through his remixes of Aaliyah, Ciara and ‘Twin Peaks’, while ‘Reincarnation’ presents a dark mindmeld of exotic chants, pounding drums, R&B crooners and menacing dancefloors. As with his own music, you get the feeling you are embarking on a fantastic journey to an unknown destination.

For his new EP ‘Exercises’, out April 24th on Paper Bag Records, CFCF shows a different side of his palette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces. Pulling from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Borden, among others, and using institutional architecture and 70s Canadiana as a framework, the EP has a distinctly 20th century feel.

OUR LIVES WORTH FIGHTING FOR

Music is magic and that's a fact.
You know I never go personal on my posts, but with the last enchanting single by the multi talented Santigold it's simply impossible.
I've been far away from home in the last period, in places quite similar to the beautiful Jamaican landscapes you're about to see. After three months, when i came back home, it was snowing and all of a sudden, watching the snow flakes dancing in the air, it was so clear to me that there is much more in life than what i was used to.

Nowadays all i'm doing is stuggling to get it to the way i want it to be, or maybe i should say to the way it's meant to be.
The moody breakbeat, the ultra wise lirycs and the amazing video all toghether they just feel to me like a someone from above sent this thing down so i can be sure that what i'm doing is right.
