Lovely.

Ksubi x Tiga Sunglasses At Night

Ok, Tiga AND Ksubi designed something?
What more could you want?
www.turborecordings.com/tiga_sunglasses
So-so shape, but this is some lovely acetate tortoiseshell.
Yeah, the other 3 colours are ok.
Available in March 2009 worldwide, including INGLAND.
Plus this:
Everyone's seen the video of Proxy's remix of Tiga's What You Need:http://www.mediafire.com/?yojo1wgy4yz

But You Can't Ignore My Techno

Wow do I actually like Chloe 'I'm so COOL' Sevigny's second collection for Opening Ceremony A/W '09?
Tbh, if MOTHERCARE made high-waisted black leather A-line shorts (which they might) I'd probably still like them.

Ok so I have spent all morning in dangerous places loling at Tiga's Podcast 9A.
It features his witty banter along with tracks like his aforementioned remix of Fever Ray (Karin of The Knife as if you didn't already know) as played live at approximately 4.32am at Manchester Bugged Out, Zyntherius (aka beloved Jori) ft. The Dove's Synthesizer, and the Unit 4 remix of Zak Frost and Lasersonic - Aquaplane, which is preetty smooth.

Ooh and a Shoes remix by 'STEVE'. From Bromley. He's 16 and will make you feel bad.

Something noisy - Volatile's remix of Absolute Zero and Subphonics' The Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/?z1ljnnnhmlc
You may remember Volatile from mixes such as Proxy's In New DJ's We Trust on Kissy Fuck Tard's show on Radio 1.
Being friends with PROXY and HOSTAGE and having songs called FACES OF WAR. He's well hard.

Duke Dumont

So Chew The Fat mailed me about some '20 min' Duke Dumont mix: www.thefatclub.com/duke-dumont-mix/

Apparently he's 'the master of different tempos'.
Yes, well everything would be a lot easier if every track was at 127 and had chav vocals yelling about how he got two years in Borstal.

+ Summer is here? Check out these floaty gems:

A Clouded Vision

Poor Steve Cook.

The other half of Clouded Vision, forever in the shadow of Matt Walsh.
Type his name into Google and you get someone blogging about computer software & a real estate investor. His myspace (www.myspace.com/toodamlate) username has to have '/Clouded Vision' whilst Matt is off buying new Shoes with Tiga.
Steve's own stuff isn't too bad, with equally disco acid noises and sober basslines although his tracks as alias 'Scientific' (as the name suggests), is a bit futuristic and too avant-ambient for my liking.

Here's his March 'tech-house' mix:

Minimal

Heard some cute minimal in Phonica by Camea but have completely forgotten the title. Am I losing my superb memory sachet reserved solely for artist/song titles that exists aside my bizarre skill of recognition of a track (Excuse me ma'am I THINK that's Brodinski) coming in from 246.fucking5 miles away?

I hope I am the first person in the history of time to use the adjective 'cute' for 'minimal' because that's pretty fucking stupid and I'd have to stab them in the ear.

P.s LOVE DMX Krew - December Darkness.

Turbo touched me

The lights come on in the club, hangover impending.

You walk out, unfocused, into the chill 6am air with your shoes and your hair equally dishevelled, American Apparel miniskirt practically lost and discover the morning birdsong, bruises, a low hung moon and stabbing heart pains, you know you've had a good night.

Withdrawal symptoms hit quick after a 5+ hour journey and I get back to a playlist of pure unadulterated Turbo Omnidance Tour worship.

There are 2 days of repercussion from non-stop delirious dancing-off-my-tits for 7 or so hours during Rainer Werner Bassfinder's Minimal Scarf Fuckers Drown, Motherfucking Bass (Popof Remix 1), Elektric Circus, Worth It, and even the random Jack Beats et al.. though frowned distastefully at Crookers Remix of Raven (like wtf?) and Mind Bloody Dimension for the gillionth time.

Surprised a few things weren't played unfortunately (*cough* Faces'uch/Style of Eye-Leave/Kolombo-Sniff/promised new Proxy), but adored Tiga's epic '1-2-3-4 Remix' of Fever Ray's Triangle Walks towards the end. Ahh..
P.s check out Guy J - Shaman (Cari Lekebusch Remix) on http://www.turborecordings.com/

Noob > Proxy?

NOT RLY.

Manchwerp tour cancelled says Buggedout.net/FB/Thomas von Party's Twitter:
"Due to illness we are sorry to say that The Proxy will not be playing in Manchester tonight.
We are pleased to announce that Turbo artist Noob has now been added to the bill alongside Popof, Aeroplane, Thomas Von Party and Dekker."

What will I tell the children now?

A Vice DON'T:

American Apparel too far.

Turbo Night of Proxy, Popof, Thomas von Party, Aeroplane and Dekker.

Worth a 5 hr journey? Let's find out at 7fuckingAM the next morning.

Follow Another Golden Fox

I know there's been a million Golden Filter - Solid Gold remixes but I can't think of one that's actually bad.. Clouded Vision's disco take is A-okay, but Russ Chimes' signature synthy one is like the entire Valerie Collective jizzed on your sheets whilst you were asleep.
Here's a heavier take on it via Mondkopf:

Apologies for 128.

Stephen Jones Launch Party at the V&A and Dubstep

As plus one of Bea, daughter of Erickson Beamon's creative director, we arrived by cab with a fashion photographer/former editor, design consultant/stylist Julian with Tank Mag feather mask, & Mia of EB posse/former 333 girl, whereupon landing on the steps I'm told "Dude, Roisin Murphy is behind us".. thus beginning the onslaught of head-adorned guests, spying Giles Deacon, Judy Blame, Katie Grand, Daphne Guinness, Jefferson Hack, Erin O'Connor, and Jacquetta Wheeler etc..

Spotted The P.I.X's Princess Julia spinning usual Blondiesque new wave pop tracks to the bombardment of champagne, parma ham wrapped truffle and lobster canapes, fresh oysters and patisserie corners filled with doughnuts, green tea chocolates, pistachio macaroons and florentines.


Then entering the mental exhibition filled from brillo pads to hoods and bonnets, Anna Piaggi posed perfectly with Manolo Blahnik, where I met that foreign girl who's always gorgeous in the Boombox pics leaving Bea to do her rounds conversing in pain (looking classy in her baby bonnet custom made by Stephen Jones) with Agent Provocateur's Joe Corres.

Later was introduced to Bruno Frisoni and Hervé van der Straten (wearing ACTUAL Poilane loaf) before bumping into Hannah Marshall and Dr Noki amongst more London based designers adorning outfits circa A-Trak at Disneyland.






Vogue coverage

Telegraph woz there

..Back in Norwich (missing lectures again), Caspa & Rusko play teeny club here tomorrow.
There's something about dubstep that irritates me and I want to say it's due to being sort of lowbrow.. but then again FIDGET was hardly the height of sophistication.

Action Man aka Herve and some Alarm Bells on Redthreat- http://redthreat.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/play-with-fire/

Postman Pat

At last something for Stephen Jones' launch party at the V&A next week.
Vintage turquoise VM taffeta + overweight Postman Pat hairband is the best one can do, when one doesn't 'do' hats, at the milliner of all milliner's exhibition.

Soundtrack to the journey:
Zombie Disco Squad - Eurovision off Teki's new sublabel.. Mmm, Sound Pellegrino.
www.myspace.com/soundpellegrino

High Rankin - Escape From the Hood/No Money For Guns

Worthy - Crack-El (Justin Martin's Stoopit Crunk-Ill Hyphy Mix)

and probably some erotic shit off Tiga's Ciao.

Suitable Hand Motions for DJ'ing

I honestly don't understand why there's so much gesticulation from DJ's during Faces'uch?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV6-yYPClMY

Brodi, that's just the SONG (all the jolly brapbrap fingers are pre-Motherfucking Bass coming in).. I know you look more interesting with the jazzhands-headphone rapid on/off like your ears are itchy combos than when I stand there tweaking EQ's with a Microsoft-brand mouse but honestly, we know it's all a farce.

And if you didn't duck down for about 5 minutes during the mad pitch up we probably would have thought that was you too, maybe the best option is to stick to a simple nodding of the head, then as the night goes on begin some more intense bobbing up & down (note: IN time), before bringing out some sort of wild flagellation of the arm with which you consider of no further use.

WASHY WASHY WASHY WASHY

After my mini-rant re: Jesse Rose, I have to say I do like the lovely retro vocal samples vs generic retard noises in 'You're All Over My Head' on What Do you Do If You Don't?

P.S LOL at Norwich locals going mental to Decoy last night.

Bugged Out At Fire: The End Of The End

Is Fire honestly a decent substitute for The End?
http://www.endclub.com/closingvideo - Bit of a boring video but sums up 'nuff stuff.
I am surprisingly as upset as the rest when I realise too late I will never be able to comfortably take the 25 the TWO stops down the road to lie in the back corner in the main room in prep before non-stop blindly going mental for the next 3 hours.
Fire on the other hand was a goddamn MESS. We were constantly losing each other, off our silly faces, wondering why the HELL we were in these endless labyrinthine dark rooms, in SOUTH LONDON.

Is Erol going to DIE during his 6 hour set?
Maybe we should help him as dedicated fans to stay awake by delivering tangible obstacles along the lines of really sharp flaming ladyfingers.

Er.. isn't Daniel Steinberg a bit of a messy man?
Can he smarten up before he plays with Style of Eye, Worthy, and what was it RIVA Starr at Egg?

I know this is bit older in Proxy radio mixes 'n such but it's just SO GOOD:

Volatile- Faces of War
http://www.zshare.net/audio/50835843af50fe71/

xx

x GOLDEN TRAXE x

YAY Golden Traxe leaked before 23rd Feb. (Sorry Mr Record Companies but like HOW long have we been waiting for this? Favourite track apart from released Poke/Soap/etc will have to be Drivetime.)

But also in good news: Octet- Euro vs dollar (Pilooski Edit): http://www.zshare.net/audio/53838199689b46fc/

BTW how upsetting is 'Touch My Horn'. I should've guessed from the title but it's really a bit fucking shit.

How can you make a song SO boring with a plethora of unsuspecting horn noises. I remember a time when I loved him, holding onto tables for dear life when Jesse Rose and his wonky ways came on.. But something dire's happened to him since that time he made Hot Chip chant his name like a douche who touches himself in AA underwear with matching socks and has Hitler fantasies during sex.

Something Quite Nice, Quite Vice

For a snow day today, try www.myspace.com/peterbenisch on Turbo.
Way Swedish.

Fashion editors at Vice must be like yeeaah we're well 'high fashion' when we TRY.. well done on the shitty lighting/direction getting in Annabel Mehran (always a bit off/unbalanced levels of quality vs pretension). NICE ONE.
Funny how it's the one post no one has an opinion on, average 'ironic' readers probably despondent at lack of titties/dead cats stapled on some puke.
