Something I didn’t know about Mr. Oizo until recently is that he is also a film director and writer who goes by his real name – Quentin Dupieux. His latest film Rubber, which you can read more about here and here, is the world’s first killer tire movie!

A US release of the film is on its way but what interests me more is the music score which was produced by Mr. Oizo and Gaspard Auge (half of Justice).  An EP for Rubber was just released on Ed Banger Records and just the fact that it is new material from the Justice camp makes it worth checking out. The title track ‘Rubber’ is pretty crazy, reminds me of ‘Justice – Stress’ it has lots of glitchy tweaks and distortion, dropped at the right time it’d get the crowd bonkers for sure. Fly-lo’s take on the track stays true to the twitchiness of the original while adding his own signature twist. Listen to the rest of the EP on Beatport.

Out Now on Beatport

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.

Download it here.

Til next time…

Lately I have really been geeking out on this new record by Warp’s Gonjasufi. The record is titled “A Sufi and a Killer” and features production by The Gaslamp Killer, Flying Lotus, and Mainframe. Psychedellic hiphop beats with erie vocals make this record great for those hazy nights. Til next time…
