Coralcola

Interior of The Milwaukee Art Museum (Santiago Calatrava's first US project)
.
.

Just got back from Milwaukee and I'm feeling rested, happy, healthy and ready to rock out a short holiday week.
.
Here's a ray of sunshine for you to start your week. Its my boy Coralcola's 11 minutes of pure happiness mix of Matt & Kim's "Daylight". It will treat you right and make you smile.

Rainbo Video



Run, don't walk, over to Video Pop blog, and grab the finest music that has come out of Chicago in a long, long time.
.
Rainbo Video blew the lid off my dome with what the man calls "automated process music" where, in his words, "whole words are broken down into their component syllables and become either sharp staccato stabs of pop, or soft, flowing pads of pop."
.
Also, in a breath of fresh air for my earnest self, none of the samples were used ironically! Eat that scenesters.

He's playing Dec 11 at Berlin on Belmont. Support.

Justus Köhncke


Seems like everywhere you turn, someone in the blog world is getting up in your grill piece, telling you how great the Aeroplane remix of Friendly Fires "Paris" is. Sure, it's an excellent take on the track, but there's another fantastic remix out there as well.
.
Justus Köhncke, the Cologne-residing producer responsible for the definitive 2004 German minimal / microhouse masterpiece Timecode, provides such a remix. Interestingly, he looks more like DJ Qualls than a club-smashing Deejay. Qualls, by the way, was shockingly a model prior to acting in Road Trip! The sound is distinctly German: incredibly high fidelity production values, neat, and no mistakes. Enjoy.

Diva Gash



If you are a fan of Beck or Plastilina Mosh or party music in general, I urge you to check out the best band in Colombia, Diva Gash. After being introduced to the Bogota-based group in May 2007 at a house party in Medellin (Marlon y Juan, gracias otra vez, nos vemos en el 2009!), I started checking out some of their music and its really tight. Its exactly what you'd want to hear in at 10 PM in a giant outdoor stadium with 100,000 screaming fans clutching cups of Costeña, gyrating to the music.
.
More to come on this exciting band (who will be playing SXSW festival in March of '09!).
.
Thanks to Patricia A. for the track!

Phantom's Revenge, Part II


This is a mix I've been diggin' by France's finest, Phantom's Revenge. I don't have the track listing, but I know the first song is Pierce "Miss Your Tape" (Phantom's Revenge Remix), and a special thanks to the very lovely Alex of Sardinia for turning me onto the track via her youtube video page.
