So I’ve got an EP coming out early next month on Made In Glitch. It’s called ‘Fake Heads’ and, as well as the title track, includes not one but two (!) remixes by the very excellent ill.Gates (one of which features the vocal talents of Mr. Junia-T). Anyway, to promote the release I put together [...]
A quick Baltimore reswizzle of Je Deviens DJ En 3 Jours 8-bit cover of Daft Punk’s ‘Aerodynamic’.

So every year for the past few years myself and a select group of superfriends have done a sort of Best Music Of The Year compilation CD exchange type thing. Basically each member of the group selects their favourite songs from that year and puts them on a CD which they then swap with the [...]
So next week I shall be DJing at the fifth Tokyo Laptop Battle. Rejoice sinners!
If I understand the brief correctly I shall be playing before, during and indeed after the ‘battle’ proper. So it’s essentially an extended BETAMAXNOMATES set interrupted by some bouts of laptop-based lunges, parrys and reprisals. The spectacle of Laptop Battle truly [...]
And so the Little Boots album arrives at last. Is it all we (I) could have hoped for? Well, yes. And no. Yesandno.
Like pretty much every other album these days about half the tracks on here have been floating around in various forms for about a year now. Still, it’s remarkable how generally cohesive the [...]
As if one retina-scorching vidular extravaganza wasn’t enough, The Alchemist has done it again, this time slicing and dicing the highlights of the Made In Glitch Valentine’s Day Party at La Fabrique in Shibuya. Featuring some knob-twiddling, pad-hammering theatrics from Rob Speakerbruiser, Mochipet, DJ Ken One, Matt B, Lucca, and of course my bad self, [...]
Here’s the newest Made In Glitch promotional video shot by Antipodean auteur and unabashed Michael Bay-fanboy ‘The Alchemist’ Michael Condon and featuring some glitchy four-note tunage from yours truly. Various shots and stills from this clip will be soon seen in Michael’s upcoming video for edIT of The Glitch Mob. Watch this space for more.
Yes yes, oh yay! It’s the new video from Dragonette.
Stupendous stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree.
Another choon I came across this evening whilst prepping my old skool mix. It’s Manix with ‘Feel Real Good’. Proper ‘hands-in-the-air’ disco whistle stuff this is — complete with faux-live crowd noise on the breakdowns. Beautiful.
This weekend I started some preliminary work on a proper old skool rave mix. Rooting around on YouTube I came a cross a couple of videos from ‘Dance Energy‘, the BBC’s token ‘yoof culture’ music program from the early 90’s which featured early performances from The Prodigy, SL2, Run DMC (!), and Bizarre Inc. (embedded [...]
Here’s the new video from Little Boots.
It is, regrettably, awful. Dancing homeless people, gang members prancing about like extras from West Side Story and a truly embarrassing denouement featuring… ack, I don’t know, some sort of choreographed prostitute orgy. I’m making it sound about a million percent better than it actually is — watch it [...]
Having had some bad experiences with printers today, I thought I’d post up a few printer-related vids. First up, the fantastic ‘Printer Jam’ by Mistabishi:
Next, an inspired printer/scanner-led cover of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. This really is quite special.
And finally, one of the funniest scenes from one of the funniest movies of all time.
Fuckin’ A.
Yes indeed. Yours truly doing the DJ thing this weekend. The place is Club OVO in Nakameguro (my manor) this Sunday between 19:00 and 24:00. Other DJs on the night include the most estimable MattB, the highly edible Lucca, and the generally indelible sAne who will be performing a unique audio/visual set that’s surely not [...]
Loving this track right now. Beautifully samples ‘Pyramid Song‘ by Radiohead.
