The video for Rex The Dog‘s, Yazoo sampling, ‘Bubblicious’ has started knocking round the web.
I do like Rex The Dog videos, always something interesting.
It’s a cool track, and off of a wicked album ‘The Rex The Dog Show’, but I don’t think anything on the album touches the greatness that was ‘Circulate’.
Still, I like that he makes quite complex, deep Electro-House injected with a Pop edge, and I love the all the merchandising and stuff. That’s a serious vision of how to get on in the post 2K music biz.
Hey, another post topic decided on by gig tickets!
I just managed to get hold of tickets for Mystery Jets as part of the NME tour, I had thought they were sold out but after a bit of digging I managed to get hold of some. I’m not at all bothered about Mystery Jets, I want to see the support act, Little Boots.
So now seems a good time to blog about Little Boots because soon she is going to be huge and blogging about her will be far too passé 😉 .
Little Boots is Victoria Hesketh, ex of Dead Disco, (with a little help from Hot Chip‘s Joe Goddard) who is fast on her way to becoming one of the finest electronic songwriters this country has ever produced.
The focus of a recent article in The Guardian about women in electro, Little Boots connects with her fans by uploading videos to YouTube of her performing covers suggested to her by her channels viewers. The cover versions proove just how talented she is, she’ll just sit there with her piano, a Stylophone and her Tenori-on and knock them out! And, boy!, what this girl can do with a Tenori-On…completely made me change my mind about the device!
The bizzarley named Birdy Nam Nam are releasing their album, ‘Manual For Sucessful Rioting’, in the next 10 days or so. I’m pretty interested to hear it as this French act are that most rare of things, an an Electro Turntablist group, which is a genre we could do with hearing more from!
With tracks produced by Justice and Yuksek I’m expecting great things indeed!
There are some tasters of what to expect on their recent EP ‘Worried’.
Ideally I’d be wanting to write about new music and stuff, but there’s also so much from the last six months or so that I want to share. I have no idea where to begin.
This morning my tickets to see La Roux (supporting Lily Allen) in Shepherd’s Bush showed up, so I guess that is a good enough place to start…
London’s La Roux, the latest signing to the mighty Kitsuné Music, is an odd beast. I think it would be fair to say La Roux is a bit like Marmite, you’ll either love it or hate it. I wasn’t so sure when I first heard it but it has very much grown on me, I kinda’ have a thing for female vocalists with quirky voices though.
So grab yourself some of Elly Jackson’s unique, to say the least, voice over some addictivly funky SynthPop…
Seeing as how La Roux is going to be supporting Lily Allen I’ll throw you this unofficial reMix of her forthcoming single, which I picked up from PrettyMuchAmazing!, too:
