music: fuck buttons
A noise band with a noisy name, there’s a surprise! But srsly, Fuck Buttons make some pretty cool noises on their latest album, Street Horrrsing, and remind me of a fleshed out Drum’s Not Dead era Liars. They’ve been featured in Time Out Magazine, and like any band of their kind, have received their share of negative press. They are a duet from the United Kingdom.
“Ribs Out” isn’t a track to give your grandmother for her birthday, but if you feel like a nice grandkid, you could take her to see the Buttons on tour (sounds so cute when you call them the Buttons!) They’ll be cruising through North America this upcoming month, so look em up!

music: the fashion
Ahh Europe! Denmark in particular. That’s where you’ll find ridiculously multi-talented artists such as Jakob Printzlau who happens to be a filmmaker, animator, editor, graphic designer, and lead man of The Fashion. The doods that also contribute to the awesome post-punk, electronically fuzzed party that The Fashion are, happen to be, guitarist Anders Find Axelsen and bassist Christian Lignell Bækholm, along with drummer Jakob Ankær Johansen.
Together these guy produce some incredibly amazing pop music and some of it, including the mp3 I’m sharing with you is often borderline hip hop influenced. Which is just awesome. While Jakob Printzlau can occasionally sound like a mall punk rocker, his songwriter and musician skills clearly make up for that downfall. I’m sharing with you two tracks, one is a song from their E.P. which has the awesome hip hop influences juxtaposed with the punk vocals and the other is a remix of Like Knives which totally sounds like a new and improved Faint track.
I’m super stoked to see what else The Fashion can crank out and if you want to see one of their shows as soon as possible then get your ass down to SXSW.

clark’s line of products includes fork-lift trucks
Electronic music sounds the same a lot of the time and it’s very hard to find an artist that really makes you step back from the genre and regain your respect for it. Clark is the man that’ll slap you in the face and convince you that the electronic genre has room to grow. Clark makes incredibly stylish industrial and gritty electro music that’ll destroy your subwoofer if it’s up too loud. He just released his new album, Turning Dragon which is his darkest effort yet. The entire album just reeks of sharp edges and juxtapositions of sounds. In the track I’m sharing with you, towards the half-way point of the song, Clark decides to add a soft piano layer on top of the desolate electro mixings to create a ridiculously incredible five minute aural experience.

kissy sells out
This is about an eight minute remix that doesn’t ever grow boring. This is about the amazing story of a dude. His name – Kissy Sell Out. While on an epic adventure through the blogosphere one day I stumbled upon a surprising track – Kissy Sell Out’s ‘Welcome to the K Hole.’ It was an interesting introduction to KSO, but I could tell that I liked his style. It’s actually sort of hard to find his stuff – but after some serious searching I sort of gave up… until I was blessed with Blue Walrus’ fifth installment of their Step to the Electricity mix which featured a remix of English girl-band All Saint’s ‘Chick Fit.’ It. Blew. My. Mind. Seriously, I didn’t know a remix could be so good.
Anyway, it’s interesting to note that the original song has a few more verses, but Kissy decided to chop up one in his funkadelic shish-kabob. I think that this is one of the secret charms to the remix, allowing the listener to get lulled into the rhythm of the words themselves. If this one doesn’t get stuck in your head, I’ll eat my hat.

i wish i had a monome. daedelus does.
The product featured in the above picture is a Monome and it’s essentially and awesome, über-pricy keyboard with lights and buttons that you plug up via USB to your computer. After that, you grab a compatible program, some tracks and loops and you’re ready to go. They’re so incredibly awesome and I definitely wish I had the money for one. Alas, I don’t so I’ll just post about a dude who uses Monome in his live show.
Daedelus is the name and homeboy has been making intelligent dance music and eletronica since 2001. The track I’m sharing with you today is called “At My Heels” and it’s from the album, Denies the Day’s Demise. In the song, Daedelus uses an excellent sample of someone reading a story about the Greek mythological God, Daedalus along with ridiculously cool lo-fi orchestral loops and high tempo drum tracks. It’s a really incredible hodge podge of sounds and voice that creates a really fun song that it as dark as it predominately silly. I’ve been repeating the song all day as I happened to stumble upon in it my library while haphazardly searching for something to post. I think it’s an incredible track and I’ll hope you’ll enjoy it too.
If you need more Daedelus after this, you’ll be happy to know that homeboy just released his new 2008 album, Live at Low End Theory and is touring in support of it.

crystal castles
Well the Digg story I told you about in the post below has decided to totally fail. So never mind about that. On to the good shit!
Alice Glass are Ethan Kath an awesome dancetronic duo called Crystal Castles and if you’re inclined to do so, they will totally make you want to dance or to make love; depending on the situation. Neither of these things are bad and are actually very healthy for you.
The song I’m sharing with you is called Untrust and it’s a quick little number that sort of feels like a club revival by a bunch of eclectic and glitchtastic robots who coindientally sing as well. The computerized lyricism in this song isn’t very discernible and it doesn’t actually matter because you’ll be too busy focusing on the addicting beats, plips, pings and beeps, that mix together to convince your appendages they should probably do a little moving.
