The Waiting
Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
-William Blake
…Even Though You re With Another Girl is the second single from Danish producer Trentemoller’s second full-feature album Into the Great White Yonder. Mysterious and expressionless surreal music video fits perfectly with the indie-feeling downtempo tune.

Faking faking
How good can you fake faking?
I’m a dog shaped ashtray I’m a shrugging moustache wearing a speedo tuxedo I’m a movie with no plot Written in the back seat of a piss powered taxi I’m an imperial armpit, sweating Chianti I’m a toilet with no seat, flushing tradition down I'm socialist lingerie, I'm diplomatic techno I'm gay pastry and racist cappuccino I’m an army on holiday in a guillotine museum I’m a painting made of hair, on a nudist beach Eating McDonald's I’m a novel far too long, I’m a sentimental song I’m a yellow tooth waltzing with wrap around shades on Who am I? I am Europe
Signed by Boys Noize records, Djedjotronic has successfully created his own sound, a fine blend of bangin’ techno and indie dance. I Am Europe’s lyrics are deliberately trying to be empty in order to “flush the tradition down”. Voidness and the absurdity of the lyrics don’t mean anything in and of itself; isn’t art creating something out of nothing, giving meaning to the meaningless?

Boy 8-Bit latest release Yard Birds is as raw as a song can get. The song mainly revolves around a single melody/angry-chainsaw and a hi hats that appear to have ADD. The Finger Prince version is everything the original is – (simple melody and distortion) + (ever-transforming main theme)
Warning: Repeated exposure might cause epileptic seizures and permanent hear loss.

Gotta move to the groove.
I wonder why.
I wonder why.
I wonder why I wonder.
I wonder why I wonder why I wonder why I wonder.”

Disco boogie madness from disco revivalist Escort, a 17 member band from Brooklyn, NY. Cocaine Blues is a loosely based on Dillinger’s 1976 “Cocaine in My Brain” and feels like a forgotten classic. Very organic, very cheerful and very retro.
Midnight Magic might as well be the best new act of 2010. The group has three past members of Brooklyn’s Hercules & Love Affair: Andrew Raposo, Morgan Wiley and Carter Yasutake. Same Way I Feel is a mellow disco jam with yearning vocals. Drop me a line is more upbeat with an electric feel and funkier bass-line. Both songs are very similar to the band’s first single “Beam me up” (which was also featured on Résistance). Enjoy the straightforward disco.

Another last cigarette
Vise, a collaboration between Prosumer and Murat Tepeli, is a classic Chicago inspired techno track with a delightful loose feeling.Vise never loses its groovy minimal edge and still manages to not get repetitive.
22 year old Flavio Diaz’s Alysa uses the same recipe, only with a darker atmosphere. Both songs give you exactly what you need to get the party moving. Nothing more, nothing less.
