ARK - OLD CHARIOT FEAT. MADD VIBE

Parisian Guillaume Berroyer aka Ark is a well known figure in the electronic music business with several releases on the mighty record label, Perlon. I bought his latest "Arkpocalypse Now" on vinyl a year ago, and it has been on repeat ever since.

"Old Chariot Feat. Madd Vibe" is just one track on the album which is absolutely recommendable.


SON OF A PREACHER MAN (HOLTOUG BOOTLEG)

Holtoug is a Danish music producer and DJ and he has quickly gained a reputation as one to watch on the Danish electronic music scene. I became aware of his skills listening to his excellent remix of Dusty Springfield’s old classic refamed by Quentin Tarrantino: Son Of A Preacher Man - (Holtoug bootleg).

And that's a nice remix!


You may all be aware of the fact that Danish electronic/rock superstar Anders Trentemøller makes nice music. But those of you who dig deeper in the sphere of electronic music may also be aware of the English electronic/rock icon Andrew Weatherall has made some outstanding records.

And back in 2010 Weatherall remixed Trentemøller's Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go.

Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill is just a nice track. The track is taken from the great album "The Eraser" from 2006. A nice and very emotional album. Highly recommendable.

THE STROKES - IS THIS IT?

Back in 2001 the New Yorker band The Strokes sent out their debut album Is This It? to the masses. And it is just a classic album after all.

All the tracks are rocking, but especially the title track Is This It? is pure magic with a stunning bassline.


BENOIT & SERGIO - FULL GROWN MAN

One of the most talented producers and dj's within the electronic sphere is the american ex-drummer - Steven Ford aka Bruno Pronsato. He recently gave it up for Residentadvisor with an excellent live set (download here) and some years ago he released the much respected album "Why Can't We Be Like Us" which is quite a journey into minimal electronic music with a twist of percussion and hand claps instruments. Lovely.

Besides working as a producer and dj he also runs a label named "Thesongsays". On this label he releases some really nice stuff - three EP's so far. For quite some time I been diggin Benoit & Sergio - What I've Lost. The EP is described as "romantic techno" and is featuring some beautiful vocals combined with a pop influenced beat. Cool!


SUPERPITCHER AND CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG

Posted by: Søren in Music

Superpitcher is one of my alltime favourites DJs from Germany. Rumours says that his new album released on Kompakt records, which is coming out shortly, is truly amazing. If you cannot wait you can catch Superpitcher and his partner in crime - Michael Mayer at this year Distortion Festival in Copenhagen. They are going to rock the entire place!

Anyways. Superpitcher is also a great remixer - and his newest remix is not a long shot. It is a really cool interpretation of Charlotte Gainsbourg's track The Operation. Pretty cool.


TWO LONE SWORDSMEN - GET OUT OF MY KINGDOM

As I wrote before I am quite a sucker for the English DJ and producer Andrew weatherallAndrew weatherall is not only perfoming alone, but runs a band named Two Lone Swordsmen with a guy named Keith Tenniswood. They have been making some extraordinary nice music - a mix between electronic and rock. I think their album Wrong Meeting from 2007 stand out - and especially the track "Get Out Of My Kingdom" is super.

Take a listen below:


LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - LOSING MY EDGE

Posted by: Søren in Music

The electronic band LCD Soundsystem has made some really cool music. Years ago I bought their "Losing My Edge" EP released on the label DFA. It is just a classic and if I was a dj it would be in my bag every time I left for a job. Funky record.
