And for all you fans that follow the MSTRKRFT Message Board, JFK has been reporting that him and AL-P are already way on their way in crafting their 3rd LP and they have just finished a remix of a new Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs’ track. What a banger factory.

Asian Dan Interview: Meroz

1. Who is Meroz?
Musician, Producer, then DJ
I’m not worried about having the “coolest font” or the most “Retro Look” Its more about putting out quality music, be it using a sample or straight raw production.
I’m not letting peoples opinions on what is the new thing persuade me in the style of music
I produce. I make what I am feeling at the moment or what is presented to me.

2. What are your biggest influences? What was your first musical memory?
My Family and Friends, Positive people as well. Good Books, Movies and Art of all kinds.
My First Musical memory would be strapping on a pair of headphones at a very young age trying to sing along to the radio at early hours of the morning. After being put to bed. After Finding out I was terrible at singing I decided to play percussion Instruments.

3. Who are your favorite producers/DJs?
Todd Edwards, Paul Johnson, Daft Punk, Sebastien Leger,Teenage Bad Girl, Neil Landstrumm, Fred Falke, Alan Braxe, Hystereo, Cassius, Air, Phoenix,Frankie Knuckles, Cajmere, Sneak , Rush , Skip, the list is waaaaay to long.
Basically anyone from the early to mid 90’s and the first french touch wave House or Techno.

UPDATE: FAKE. Some punk just made a lot of money off of people in Shanghai. Quite an elaborate scheme. Anyways. Sorry to get all of you excited. I’m just causing a ruckus in the blogosphere. Carry on.

UPDATE: Check out Glenjamn’s post on this situation. The web designer of dafthidden.com left a comment on his post. ha.

Radiohead’s performance last night made the Grammys worth something. Radiohead just wants to be Fleetwood Mac, but then again who doesn’t. Where was Ed, Colin & Phil? Also Gwyneth cheating on Chris Martin by presenting Radiohead!? Drama.

After the jump see Fleetwood Mac’s performance with the USC Trojans at the Grammys.

03. Happy Up Here (Breakbot Remix)
04. Happy Up Here (Datassette Remix)

Not your typical Boys Noize Banger Production Remix, a little darker and obscure. Breakbot does his usual smooth pop production. ill.

Empire of the Sun – Walking On A Dream (Danger’s Racing Club Mix)

The usual solid Danger Production that everyone loves. And I like how the vox sound over Danger’s 8 Bit sound.
