Asian Dan

Hello vintage bloghaus. This is quite a pairing to bring us all back to the ancient bloghaus days. A time when bangers ruled the web and leaked mp3s were scarce and gave power to those blogs that leaked it onto a pre-historic hypem. Do you remember those days? Van She in hand with SebastiAn takes us down nostalgia road with a remix of Van She’s latest single “Idea of Happiness”. It is everything we know and love about how SebastiAn can chop, distort, and compress a tune into its proper banger glory. I’m not mad – u mad?

Download: Van She – Idea of Happiness (SebastiAn Remix)

Oh it feels like the good ol’ bloghaus/electro days. All the blog greats are back at it 🙂

SebastiAn channels his Dam Funk, west coast boogie side with his first single off of “Total” entitled “Embody”.

Kavinsky strikes back this March with his Nightcall EP with quite a star-studded electro cast. His Zombie-self with production duties held by the one and only Guy-Man Homem-Christo and mixing duties by SebastiAn. Also featuring vox from CSS’ Lovefoxxx. Then throw in a mysterious Asian remixer, Dustin Nguyen, the famed actor from 21 Jump Street as well as a 9 min epic remix from the one and only Jackson of Jackson & His Computer Band as well as a smooth night burner of a remix by Breakbot and then BAM – an epic comeback for one of the French Electro royalty. Nothing too banger or absurd – just quality electronic music made by a few Frenchies. Check out the track “Pacific Coast Highway” on Soundcloud.

SebastiAn strikes back with “Threndoy” off of a limited Xmas present from the Ed Banger family. SebastiAn channels his Schoenberg, Stockhausen and of course Krzysztof Penderecki with this sample of his “Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima” with an 11 min intro of just rising tones and disjointed cacophany that is a huge fuck you to everyone. Finally it kicks into a usual SebastiAN banger moment for only 2 mins or so but it is oh so good.

Vicarious Bliss showcases the unlike and amazing musically complex side of Ed Banger Records with this symphonic reworking of Krazy Baldhead’s new track “Sweet Night” off The B-Suite, out April 6 on Ed Banger. This track sounds like Sigur Ros/The Album meets Boards of Canada. Krazy Badlhead and Vicarious Bliss are the hidden gems of Ed Banger. 2009 should be an interesting/awesome year for Ed Banger especially with SebastiAn’s LIVE SET debuting this summer!

DJ Mehdi posted this track on Le Cool Cats Blog.
A few words from Vicarious Bliss on the reworking:
“It’s not really Vicarious Bliss (or is it ?!) but rather just something that I did for fun to mess around with orchestrations and backwards guitars and violins and chocolate muffins and my teddy-bear, with the intention of trying to annoy cousin Babble (it worked, kind of, but we still talk…). Some of you know that I sometimes like to ‘get the f**king violins out’, kind of like on the reworks I’ve done for Cazals on Kitsuné 5 and the second Ladytron ‘Softpower’ remix in the past. So, no, you can’t dance to it. You can’t even tap your toe to it. But that’s not the point. Is it?”

Simple, Yet Effective. That is what Mr. Alkan does best.

SebastiAn – Motor
“Motor”: basic, excessive, devastating, the definition of what the Ed Banger crew likes to call a “turbine”. As alarming as an over-heating reactor: a bomb has been deposited on the dance floor.

Check out Momy & Army @ Boule A Facettes

Here is an edit by our very own Kidz By Colette. Apparently a lot of people are hating on “Motor” but I love it. It reminds me of Neu! on speed, maybe it is just cause of the name and my association with the German Motorik Krautrock style. Either way SebastiAn’s new EP is going to be straight up badass. Rev up your motorcycles!
