Music: Lichiban likes Woolfy and so do we!!!

Our friend Lichiban knows a thing or two about Art & Design and like most artists, Music is a big component of the process it takes into making shit happen. I was really happy to read her blog the other day and find out that we have a lot more in common than just our passion for Art. Not too long ago she blogged about Woolfy and how the music takes her to an astral adventure. Well...we've been into the Cosmic/Balearic disco scene for a bit, and we can't but agree with her.

The London Born-Californian, has recently hit the shelves with some dope tracks on both Rong/DFA and on the Permanent Vacation Label. The 12" released on the split Rong/DFA release features "Oh Missy", the first single off his forthcoming album. Although the track has some nice rock feel to it, the real treat in this one are the In Flagranti Remixes which add much more naughtiness and Glam than the original. Our favorite is the "Xexon Mix" however we recommend you get the single for the "meat-packing mix", if you are into that borderline Electro-tech feel....

...And if "Italians do it Better" is what you've been up to recently, then the Woolfy vs. Projections "Absynth" is gonna hit the spot. More Cosmic than Disco, the killer track on this 12" is the Marcus Worgull remix. The Flipside is just as good with the Invisible Conga Band's rework of "The Return of Starlight." Who said great minds didn't think alike?!!!

Music/Video: Bottin likes Lazy Sundays...but it's Valentine's day today.

Bottin's Single "No static" is out now and here's the video to go along with it...I'm not sure what's up with the Futuristic Bikers riding through Piazza Navona, and call me crazy but last time I was in Rome those flashing high-rise building were not exactly there. I guess anything is possible if you sprinkle some Cinecitta magic!!! Here's also another mix he nicely entitled: Space Lovers Come on Sunday (Lazy Sunday Mix)...Seriously, with a tittle like that, you'd think he'd read this blog. "No Static" out on vinyl now on "italians do it better". Buy Here!

Music: Italians do it Better but Bottin does it the Best...

For a label that claims that Italians do it Better, it was time they actually had an Italian on the Roster. DJ and Producer William Bottin hails from Venice a city that well...overflows with water a lot. In any case Bottin is joining the ranks of Chromatics and Glass Candy on the Italo Label du Jour. If you are into the whole Balearic/Cosmic Disco scene, you probably recognize his name from his recent appearance on the Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol. 1 compilation out now on Eskimo. The 3 part Vinyl sits nicely on my shelf thanks to Newbury comics (although I think they've still got some copies left) and Bottin's "Fondamente Nove" is one of the best tracks I've heard recently...simple bass and a fantastic progression. I guess Italians really do it better. In any case, in anticipation for "No Static" to be released on IDIB, here's a taste of the song and a mix brilliantly selected by Bottin himself. Enjoy...I'm off to make some Pasta alle Vongole.
