Prime cinematography and editing paired with Magentic Man and some quintessential party shots has re-ignited the disco flame within me! EDC feels like it happened ages ago, yet I could again feel the energy of that entire weekend. Nothing like a couple-thousand people dancing their asses off while that ghetto bassline pounds so hard it moves the air!
“This right here is the electronic super group of the moment. Skream, Benga and Artwork together is every dubstep afficcionado’s wet dream.”
— Monsta Sounds
Killer video for this Coma Remix of Thomas Schaeben & Schad Privat’s Body Hotel. Fantastic cardboard shapes and a pair of turntables lay background for a mustachioed character sporting teal Ray-Bans! And as far as the music goes, I’d say its somewhere in the realm of indie-pop. It sounds kind of airy, very melodic at points, and still hooks you in with some nice synth-work to tickle your electronic side.
Music: “Body Hotel” by Thomas Schaeben & Schad Privat (Remix by COMA)

Just got word of Fake Blood’s new video for I Think I Like It. Pretty sure it dropped in April but I hadn’t seen it till just now! Ripe with a semi-vintage 70s vibe, this video loops and bounces around just like them choppy vox in the track. I think I like — I think I like — I think I like it — like it — like it…
Annnnd we’ll be posting our mega-EDC post hopefully by the end of the weekend — equipped with a video edit encompassing our entire journey through the land of electrik daiziez!
Thats right folks, this is the 100th post! I’m not even quite sure what to do with this one. I feel like it should be some sort of ultra-mega post filled with all kinds of goodies. I’ve at least got a couple things..

Next up, some disco break goodness comin’ from my man FUKKK OFFF. Nice little remix for Hazel, the feisty female rapper from Fukkk Offf’s ‘More Than Friends’.
Also have some great new Tiefschwarz comin’ your way.
They’re back with their third album ‘Chocolate’, and a major leap forward for the duo: things are different now for Tiefschwarz, as this is the first release on their own label, Souvenir. Techno and house still form the foundations, yet Tiefschwarz push themselves beyond their previous limits. They’ve found a new, intrinsic sound of their own that oscillates between numerous genres – at once both clear-cut and immensely intricate. One minute the steady bass drives a dancing rhythm, the next it would have you believe that four to the floor is actually a beat based on a prime number.
Flying Lotus put out this augmented reality app for his most recent record, Cosmogramma. The app is fully interactive, as it uses the computer’s webcam to allow players to move planets around with their hands. I suggest that you download it and give it a spin. It’s pretty sweet.
Very sexy and hip new video for MTV’s Push, coming from Nick Scott Studio. Not to mention, its all been produced with some very nice tunage in the background. Not entirely too interested in what Push is about here (which I couldn’t find much about anyway — I think maybe it’s a UK thing), but the short commercial spot is beautifully done. Pay attention for the “Pop” portion, which contained the LED tubes and the super hot blond chick!
And while we’re covering some art ground here, Hamburg-based DJ & Producer, FUKKK OFFF, just got himself situated with a new branding campaign. New logo, illustrations, and a spanky fresh website (which hasn’t gone live yet apparently), care of Pawel Pietryka.
A CD review!? I know, I cant remember the last time i paid for a CD either, but the other day I stumbled across this preview edit of Do It To You 3 by Burlesque, and I was sold. If your into the b-more vibe, you’ll be all over this. Its got new tracks from Bird Peterson, DZ, Bassanova, Jimmy 2 Times, and others. Even if bmore aint your thing, theres a grip of sample worthy cuts to check out. Two of the tracks that stood out for me:
This one’s got an epic vocal hook sitting on a grungy bassline with some bmore styled breakdowns to keep you moving.
