We All Wanna Be Felix

2009-08-11T12:32:00.000-07:00

We all wanna be Felix. We all wanna have our picture taken with Felix. We all want to remix Felix. Mexico City's NSM PSM bring 100% agave to their re-working of Felix's tribute to his boyhood hero. It's the coolest shade of purple this track has seen so far.

2009-02-14T00:14:00.000-08:00

Danny Ladytron dropped this bomb on my desktop when I asked him to IM that rare Darren Emerson remix of "Seventeen." It's 17-year old Harlem girl Miss Bank$ rapping over Ladytron. Her rhymes are sic! The Fader has blogged her and 77Klash signed her to his Klash City label. We want more.

Mr & Mrs Cameron dj set at M.U.L.T.I.S.E.X.I. in Studio 80, Amsterdam on October 4th 2008 - "Panic On The Dancefloor!"

If the term "polymath" is ever used to describe music artists then Karin and Richard Cameron are certainly candidates. Not only are Mr & Mrs Cameron DJ-ing in clubs around the world and recording their own album for release in 2009, they also produce soundtracks for fashion shows, soundscapes for art exhibits, create art themselves and run a record label/production company Drive-in.

Richard is also one-half of Cowgum with Dutch DJ/promoter Joost van Bellem, one-half of the "easy tunes" duo Arling & Cameron, one-half of the spaced-out rock act Fluffy Target, as well as the composer of a few film soundtracks with Gerry Arling.

Introducing RU GUYZ BRTHRS

2009-01-26T21:45:00.000-08:00

Their MySpace tag line - "2 guys who just happened to look a like..." - mocks the obvious question they got when they first made their entrance onto the LA club scene. Now the unrelated Mike Melody and Spencer Trent have delivered their first remix (with the help of their bud Asaa) of "Shuddup & Cry" by that hottie with skills, DJ Loli. It's brilliance leaves no doubt they are destined to have to answer "the question" many more times in clubs when DJ-ing around the world.

Already they've been hit up to remix Circuit Freq and have earned a DJ gig at the weekly Jump Up party at Medusa Lounge in Silver Lake Los Angeles on Feb 21. Julien-K DJS are headlining.

NSM PSM "Clap Your Brains Off " - Mexican droste music video

2008-10-09T17:23:00.000-07:00

This video uses a mathematical formula used by M.C. Escher, in some of his work known as the "Droste Effect." This is my first video clip as a Director, and it was made entirely using a Digital Reflex Camera, the Canon's Mark III, which captures up to 115 continuous pictures at 10 fps.

As this was a really low budget video, it was made possible only thanks to the help of lots and lots of friends. This is the result of almost 6 months of work.

Now Is The Time (Vote '08 remix) - The Crystal Method

2008-10-09T16:39:00.000-07:00

Like 38 million other Americans, we were transfixed listening to Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. It reminded us of the creative process we went through all those years ago, listening to samples of inspiring old civil rights speeches and creating the original "Now Is The Time."

We don't often revisit old songs but we've been spending so much time looking forward as we work on our new album it seemed appropriate to take a minute to look back at the beginning. Plus, right now, no American could be hurt by hearing another inspiring message whether it's on the morning news or at the club later that night. This is a song we just want people to hear.

We understand there are many people who have different opinions and political views than we do, and that's fine. As Americans, we feel it is important for all of us to voice our views and encourage others to do the same. That's why on November 4th we implore everybody to vote for the candidates you feel will be best for our country.

We hope you enjoy this mix for what it is... a rocking jam that is meant to inspire you to move. Which way you go is up to you.

Also, we want to thank Shepard Fairey for creating the Obama "Now" image which is based on his iconic Obama "Hope" poster.

Peace and Thanks for Listening,
Scott & Ken

Cowgum - "Druggggssszzz"

2008-07-11T00:51:00.000-07:00

It's pretty fitting that my favorite new drug song comes from my favorite drug city- Amsterdam. But A-dam doesn't make this schit by itself. So the two coolest fuckers from Holland (sorry to Mirik, the goat herder- you're #3) had to get together and form Cowgum.

Cowgum is .5 Richard Cameron (Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, Arling & Cameron, and the super-righteous Fluffy Target) and .5 my main man Joost van Bellen (seriously the coolest motherfucker I know-- a legend). My first Cowgum exposure "Filthy and Raw" has never (not ever) left the record bag, and "Druggggssszzz" is gonna be fixture as well.

Crazy Dutch sex-pot WANNABEASTAR sings the vocal hooks ("I need a big hit!"). Remixing is Brazilian electro scener Edu K, and he gives it a proper Crookers twinge. Sic.

The New York Times called Florianopolis (Floripa to the locals) "The hippest year round beach scene in South America." I asked Holger to send some photos. Let's hope he obliges.

DJ Krassy does Hostage

2008-05-15T14:04:00.000-07:00

So... I've been keeping this one to myself for a little while... But I've heard Erol has blogged it, so it's best we post it now. It's a mash-up, I guess-- although when the mix goes above and beyond the originals, that label doesn't seem right. Mash-up, re-edit, whatever, it's proper HOSTAGE rave shit melded w/ Digitalism's POGO and it's sultry as fuck. Big fucking high-5s to DJ KRASSY on this edit. Heard Alan Hostage himself was all over it.. So, hopefully he'll get the props he deserves. Check Krassy's MySpace for his on-going BODYROCK mix series (sweet schit). He's local for me (San Diego), so I'm required to give full support. Nobody's twistin' my arm though.

Say Hooo!

2008-05-02T23:08:00.000-07:00

Say Hooo! is the brand new moniker for Holger Beier, co-founder of the seminal international club-pop label Bungalow Records out of Berlin as well as one-half of the DJ and recording team Le Hammond Inferno. Holger lives and records now in a lush jungle liar in Florianopolis in Brasil where he starts his day, every day, with a surf and a coconut.

He was in Mexico City where I saw him DJ at the Dunkhouse - yeah Nike has a cool club there with an art gallery and a shoe store right next to the dancefloor. When the first guitar chords of the track below roared out of the PA, I was like - who is this new band I haven't read about in the NME. You'll probably figure out why pretty quickly. Le Hammond Inferno were among the most prolific and proficient mashup artists back in those days.

Holger was in Mexico producing the new Mexican Institute of Sound album, hence his DJ appearance - and he's also finished a new Pat C album. Pat C - Brasilian chanteuse & Holger's wife - pop star in Japan and soon to be everywhere else.

The Say Hoo! MySpace page is so new you can be guaranteed a Top 8 position if you head over there now.

NSM PSM - Mexico City's Got Next

2008-04-17T01:16:00.000-07:00

Mexico City is my new favorite place. It's crowded - the second largest city on the planet with 19 million people. The air pollution can get unbelievably bad - the city is built within a basin 2200 meters above sea level so oxygen is already scarce. BUT the people here are so incredibly friendly and open to newcomers. It's always hugs and kisses whenever introductions are made. And the food is sublime - I think I ate nopales tacos (cactus to us gringos) every night. One thing to look out for is that when drinking tequila or mezcal one must calculate the effect of the high altitude if you want to be able to walk home under your own power. And don't ever take the VW Beetle cabs for fear of being kidnapped.

My reason for visiting Mexico is a duo called NSM PSM - that's short-hand for NON STOP MUSIC...PLAY SOME MUSIC. Kay and Pato have been DJ-ing since they were kids - growing up with cassette mixtape culture, early Chicago house and big beat as influences. They're as likely to select Elvis as Daft Punk while performing at all the big indie and dance events in Mexico City.

Kay is also the DJ and performs some vocals with one of the biggest alternative acts in Mexico - Mexican Institute of Sound. More on them in a future blog post, but quickly, MIS are KCRW favorites and are playing at Glastonbury this June.

Pato also owns a store called Beat Box in Puebla outside of Mexico City that carries clothes, sneakers and Kid Robot style toys; while Kaye also produces trailers for Mexican produced films.

"Clap Your Brains Off" will be on their debut EP released in a few months time. They're looking for remix swaps on the track by the way.

NSM PSM's brand new remix of Mexican Institute of Sound's "Para No Vivir Deseperado" is also available below for the first time.

Circuit Freq

2008-04-17T01:01:00.000-07:00

Who are Circuit Freq? If you check out their Top Friends on the MySpace page you'd think Circuit Freq are Ancient Keyboards from before the Death of Analog - and not Humans. Since we, as humans, need to have all our spaces filled - a story is needed to satisfy your curiosity as to their identities.

Here goes - Circuit Freq is two Estonian high-school age hackers who mod-ed out their musician Dad's old analog gear and use it to make this insane music. The story continues that they met Felix da Housecat at a rave held on an aging Russian oil tanker floating in the Black Sea off Bulgaria. Upon hearing the Circuit Freq track "Black Chrome" reverberating thru the rusty hull of the ship, Felix insisted upon a copy. And now he's IM-ing the file to all his DJ friends - finally it ends up here on this blog.

OR you could make up your own fable......

A Virgin Tear, JK DJS & Rabbit In The Moon May 10 PHX

2008-04-17T00:09:00.001-07:00

Back in 1996 I thought about getting a Sonic The Hedgehog tattoo on my hand. Bad idea. Now I tell people if I WAS to have a tattoo - it would be of an Easter Island statue on my left shoulder. A tiki body ornament would be so cool but I don't think it will ever happen.

If you like your techno DJs mixed with tattoos, piercings, heavy guitars and dark electronica - the 13th Annual Club Tattoo celebration in Tempe, AZ on May 10 is going to be a MUST-SEE experience. Even if you don't have any tattoos or piercings - like myself - the lineup of talent still makes this an event I AM NOT GOING TO MISS.

Some background - Club Tattoo was founded by Sean Dowdell and Linkin Park's Chester Bennington in Phoenix in 1995 and is world renowned in the body art field. They're even opening up a parlor in Vegas - so you can get a tattoo of your honey's name immediately after you get hitched by Elvis. What happens in Vegas stays....on you forever!

Here's your lineup - legendary electronic music pioneers Rabbit In The Moon headlining, the awesome Julien-K opening and a special set of previously unheard songs by Chester Bennington - in my opinion, the most mesmerizing vocalist in rock.

Plus Ty from Virgin Tears (now out on his own under the new moniker A Virgin Tear), the JK DJS (Amir and Brandon of Julien-K) and Jeremy Dawson of Shiny Toy Guns all rocking out on the decks before, during and after.

See you there.
