Here’s a nice little house track by German producer Robag Wruhme. Called Lampetee, the track was released late in November 2009 under the Movida label. While the track is pretty straightforward, there’s something very interesting in it in terms of groove, which is probably due to the main synth being so direct, almost as if it was stopping the tempo from pursuing its normal cadence during the parcel of a second. The use of vocals is also noteworthy as they fill the various breaks in the track, allowing the producer to then add new percs to his song. Take a peek!

I saw this one charted by Dj T and immediately liked it. This Inxec & Matt Tolfrey (Leftroom label owner) mix falls into the current trendy house category; Some detroit-like voice samples and synth chords paired with dubby delaying. Anyways it’s great and relaxing, very enjoyable.

Here is the follow up of my previous State of Disco entry. I only bring up 2 jams today, favoring quality over quantity. The first one is the acclaimed Coma Cat by Tensnake. The whole release, out on Permanent Vacation, is incredible for those who like clear groovy basslines and funky disco melodies. This is pure disco; organ, piano crescendos and bells. The other one is darker and more housy, it is very consistent with what Kink & Neville Watson usually deliver. Excellent!

The video above of Dj Hell’s collaboration with singer Bryan Ferry on the track U Can Dance is pretty old news, as it was released as part of his album Teufelswerk early in 2009. What isn’t, however, is the track’s new single album released a few weeks ago. Containing as much as five brand new remixes from renowned artists such as Simian Mobile Disco and Carl Craig (who actually did two remixes) and the original version, this one is a must own. While the remixes in general didn’t blew me away, they all are excellent in terms of production quality and definitely are a nice addition to any techno-oriented set. Because I had to chose two (personal restrictions), I decided to go with SMD’s version, because they’re probably my favorite producers ever, and Carl Craig’s first version, because his is probably the best remix overall. Check it out.

Mark Rothko, important abstract impressionist of the 20th century, is one of my favourite painters. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea that specific pigments, matched with others, which follow a particular composition, can touch a person an emotional level. Easily recognizable by their big squares of bold and lively color, Rothko’s paintings are definitely impressive. The artist, on the other hand, was something else in his time too, being the first to demand specific rooms and lighting for the viewing of his paintings. He was arguably the initiator of installation, and of questioning the ways in which museums and galleries present works of art. His goal was simple; submerge the viewer in the painting by invading his or her personal space with the space that the painting took up in the room around it, defying ”real space” and ”art space”. A few fun facts to be aware of are that Mr. Rothko was an eccentric man, who asked that people who did not like his art keep away from his exhibitions, and who preferred that his work was not published in journals or magazines.

I came across this incredible collection of Expo 67 photographs. It’s fun to see this event which spurred modernity in our city. Some of these structures still remain today, but they certainly don’t convey the same meaning. Anyways, I just thought these visually interesting vestiges could give those of us who weren’t born at the time, a sense of this futuristic past.
I think the new Beat Pharmacy accounts for a great accompaniment.

On this extremely cold saturday afternoon, I’m day dreaming. Listening to the new version of Gui Boratto’s Azzurra. I just love the synth stab in this, it adds so much to the already beautiful melody. I’d say it’s closer to indie pop than techno but this is what Gui Boratto does best in my opinion.

He! Ho!, je vous arrête tout de suite. C’est pas parce que l’expo date de l’été 2009 qu’elle ne vaut pas la peine d’être présentée sur les blogs de nouveau. En 2009, As Heard n’existait même pas, voilà mon excuse. Le travail de Craven est fantastique et je ne me priverai pas d’en parler sous prétexte que c’est passé. Un mélange réussi de dessin, de peinture et de photographie, que je verrais facilement sur la pochette d’un cd de groupe indie-rock, à la Foals. Oeuvres fabuleuses après le saut.
