Kudu is a great and interesting band from Brooklyn, NYC. In 2005 they released Bar Star, toghether with the amazing following super8 videoclip...
This song can be considered as a tribute to Sheila E, best known for her collaboration with Prince. Kudu's singer says the phrase "Love Bizarre" in the first bridge which is also a Sheila E song, and the video reminds me "The Glamorous Life" Sheila E.'s video, from which I think they sampled the intro synth part...
On october 2009 it was re-released as an EP, as a promotional release for her upcoming album Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans that will be out in early 2010. A music video was released on October 3, 2009 and was directed by Nathalie Canguilhem.
"L-Vis 1990, a.k.a. James Connolly, is a Brighton-based renaissance man who turns his hand to graphic design and music videos for Riton and Van Helden as well as his thumping beats. Despite leaving behind his breaks background, L-Vis 1990 has come full circle and nods in that direction on more than one occasion.
Influenced by pretty much everything with a beat in club land, from Europe to the US and drum & bass to electro, L-Vis 1990 has coaxed together the best bits to create some wicked dance music: in the true sense of the word.
Rather cheekily, L-Vis 1990 held the official funeral of “new rave” at his Brighton club night, So Loud, last summer when it was still riding high in the mainstream press. As he recalls: "We painted a giant banner with the words "New Rave R.I.P" written in blood. I think that was the turning point for me, the return of bass". He has brought his self-titled “hyper bass” to save us all from suffocating in the all-consuming attack from the Ed Banger mafia."
3 is a Crowd are a dj and producers trio from Milan. They belong to the new electro italian scene, and together with Crookers, Congorock and His Majesty Andre they're burning down dancefloors all over the world!
We also enjoy the jazz part at 1:22 but we searched a looooooooooot on blogs and forum without answers... Now we got it! We use Logic for mixes and music production, and, scrolling the loop library, we found a loop called: 44th Street Long (into the jazz loop section). That's it!
It's the return of the fat electro funk sound! Italy strikes again, thanks to Titan and La Valigetta, an indie-label that has been producing some of the greatest italian artists this year!
Titan is a young and talented artist from the italian region of Abruzzo. About a year ago, he released his first track, working on an old electro italo-disco song, chopping and rearranging the samples on his laptop. He then started to promote his track on web, music blogs and music labels.
La Valigetta, is one of the most interesting italian indie-label of the year. It was started two years ago by Allo and Coojo, two guys with an hip hop/electro/indie/funk background. Today they're producing artists like Useless Wooden Toys, Blatta & Inesha, 3 is a Crowd, and in 2010 they will distribute the italian release of Rifoki project (Bob Rifo & Steve Aoki) .
Titan's met Allo and his label; they listened and enjoyed the track, then edited, remastered the song and released it as "Bruxism Groove".
This is a super crappy post about a new song. Let's see what happen if I'll sing:
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la! Want your bad romance..."
Ok, I think you know it, because it's an heavy rotation on every radio in these days. This song is "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga.
You know what? It's a pop song sample based! In fact, if you listen it you can for sure recognize pieces from one of the most sampled dutch song: Dominator by Human Resource.
This song overruled the dutch clubs in 1991 and even made the top-10 of the dutch chart . In 1992 it was a massive worldwide club hit. Written, produced, arranged and programmed by Johan van Beek and Robert Mahu.
Warp by The Bloody Beetroots ft. Steve Aoki, can be considered a tribute to that amazing screaming synth! Love the way they use it and reverse it through the end of the song.
