TIME TO GET THE PARTY STARTED

in the far north of Europe, where the all the authors of this blog currently lives and belongs, summer is over. no more shorts, t-shirts and late BBQ-nights half-naked. no more tan, no more sunglasses. 

so? with winter darker times will come and thus more time for the serious business. it is time to get the blog party started.

dior homme's fashion shows are famous. not just for the brand itself, and for all hedi slimane has done for the brand the last years but for the music used in the show. usually in the genre of indie or rock, with artists like razorlight, the rakes and phoenix, justice steps in and does a dramatic electro thing, which is kickass. listen to them, they follow. listen again. it's cold, scary and so good.

SUPERDISCOUNT

Last Friday - the final day of Malmö Festival, live performing and wrapping up an overall dull festival were no other than Etienne De Crécy. So there I was, at the city square, filled with people, watching visuals that can compete with Daft Punk and dancing to the music which, literally – could start fires. This could been one of my best live-act experiences. So if you haven’t seen Etienne De Crécy live yet, I suggest you do just that. For now, get these tracks and go visit his MySpace to check out the video-clip of his live performance, then maybe you’ll get an idea of how it's done..

FESTIVALS AND MUSIC ON MY MIND

Sorry the lack of posts lately. I’ve been busy attending Hovefestivalen and Oslo Live Festival here in Norway and enjoying great music.

This entry will never end if I’m suppose to tell you about all my latest concert experiences. Instead I’ll share with you a couple of songs from my favorite concerts.

Familjen was one of the best concerts at Hove this year in my opinion. Dizzie Rascal had to cancel their concert at Oslo Live, instead Adam Tensta stepped in. Not a bad replacement.

I was working at the bar when Goldfrapp performed at Hove. I did get to hear A&E live though, and it sounded epic. Here’s one of the best remixes. And a bonus one from Hercules & Love Affair because they put on a great show at Hove.

Surkin was too cute on the mix table and made my first night at Hove. You’ve probably already heard ’Next Of Kin’ and ’White Knight’. If you like them, then you’ll definately like the remix of the first and the sequel of the latter.

Justice pulled an audience of almost 10 000 people at the first day of Oslo Live. MSTRKRFT played a great set at Hove. Steve Aoki never came to Norway as planned, but here’s the whole package.

Sebastien Tellier is probably the coolest frenchie in the whole wide world. His show at Oslo Live was hilarous. He mostly performed the songs about his sexuality and his "fat and ugly mother", as he nicely put it. I personally prefer this remix of the Eurovision hit.

Sebastien Tellier - Divine (Danger Remix)
(electronica, 2008)

The Norwegian Datarock boys ended my festival summer for now. Datarock is highly recommended live. I missed Skatebård during Hove and a club night during Oslo Live. Too bad, because he’s good italo-disco shit.

SAXOPHONES, SEX & ELECTRO

during summer life is much more random than otherwise and structure does not seem to exist. hence the blog is updated during the whole summer but it isn't until september that the real business begins. wellwell, here we go:

found three great tracks for today. first a classic house tune containing much saxophones which is always niiice. found out that dub deluxe is a project from the two guys behing sunloverz who want to do something else than the typical melodic vocal house that they produce otherwise. the second track is a rip of a remix justice made on a song by the brooklynband mgmt (earlier the management). the last song is a amazing progressive tune by italian schwartz found on housemusicwithlove.
