Hejven.se

The first post in this new decade might be somewhat unorthodox. Friday Bangers on a Tuesday? Is this madness possible?

Yes, I tell you! It’s been a while since our last post so we don’t give a damn!

As assistant booker and promoter-extraordinaire for Rust Sven Houlberg knows what’s going on with the music scene. We asked him to throw a few songs at us that he have been listening to the past couple of weeks, and the reason why he kept listening to these tracks.

Crookers feat. Soulwax & Mixhell – “We Love Animals”
“The track has a raw energy and a clear grandiose impact from Soulwax.”

Riva Starr feat. Nôze – “I Was Drunk (Douster Remix)”
“Douster took a fun tune and turned it even more playful. It’s really one for the girls.”

Florence + The Machine – “You’ve Got The Love (The XX Remix) (Renaissance Man Edit)”
“A raw and organic tune which I find incredibly attractive.”

Fake Blood – “Fix Your Accent”
“After the release of Mars I was afraid that Fake Blood was just another bass-hungering group from United Kingdom. This track however shows what else they are capable of.”

Douster – King of Africa
“Representing Africa! This is the new sound that I’m diggin’, it’s playful and not that serious and I’m looking forward to much more tracks from Douster.”

Franz Ferdinand – No You Girls (The Rouge Elements Remix)
“The Rouge Elements Remix = Rave”

And heeere comes music.

Man skulle ikke tro det, men det er faktisk allerede blevet fredag igen! Og ja, det betyder endnu flere tracks til festen, iPod’en eller bare til et lille glas rødvin efterfulgt af raveparty i en forladt lagerbygning?

Vi er ikke bange for at sige at denne uges Friday Bangers igen byder på lækre tracks og dejlige toner.

Vi starter stærkt med Daft Punk. Den franske houseduo bringer os her et track der ligger lige i deres ånd. Hård bas og deres velkendte elektroniske lyde. Her er de blevet remixet af fransk/canadiske The Wrøng Man.

Næste nummer er et dejligt samarbejde på tværs af landegrænser. Her er tyske Moulinex gået sammen med Xinobi fra Portugal om at lave et tema til det kollektiv og pladeselskab, D.I.S.C.O Texas, de begge er medlemmer af. Tracket hedder slet og ret “D.I.S.C.O Texas Theme” og er remixet af tyske Esto!. Der har været gang i en ordentlig omgang cut/slice, men hvis man lige giver tracket en chance udvikler det sig ganske positivt!

Nu begiver vi os tilbage til Frankrig og til Pony Pony Run Run der med deres “Hey You” har sat præg på den popelektroniske scene. Endnu en franskmand, Kolt13, har lige været omkring tracket og sat lidt mere fut i sagerne.

Bliver vi ved den powerpoppen finder vi australske Empire of the Sun der om nogen har genopfundet glamrocken. “Stading On The Shore” har været en tur igennem Cassian‘s computer og det er der kommet et fint track ud af der klart befinder sig inden for elektropoppens rammer.

Sidst men bestemt ikke mindst finder vi Gossip med den farverige og volumeniøse Beth Ditto i front. “Love Long Distance” har været spillet en del i radioen, men helt sikkert ikke denne version. Riva Starr har i høj grad fucked med vokalen og bruger den ofte mere som instrument – enten kan man li’ det ellers så hader man det!

Anyway, ha’ en forrygende weekend!
