DENA – “Guest List” (Official Music Video)

‘Guestlist’ is the brand new single from Berlin based Denitza Torodrove AKA DENA, released worldwide on 23rd November. The tongue and cheek lyrics offer a poignant juxtaposition to the political message of the single which addresses immigration control issues in her native Bulgaria. The video, also shot in her homeland, offers a glimpse of the glamorous side of Eastern Europe and provides a suitable backdrop to DENA’s unique brand of pop, 90’s inspired hip-hop and Balkan beats. ‘Guestlist’ follows singles ‘Thin Rope’ and ‘Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools which came out on French label Kitsune earlier this year, rapidly reaching more than 800,000 views on Youtube.

After featuring on both The Whitest Boy Alive records and since moving to Berlin in 2005, DENA has spent time honing here self-composed beats and finding her signature sound, before stepping into the limelight and gaining international recognition for her unique and fresh flavour. Support slots for the likes of Das Racist, Icona Pop, The Whitest Boy Alice and LCMDF and a jam packed schedule at SXSW earlier this year have seen her live show grow from strength to strength and led to a notable nomination by leading German media Spiegel as one of the Top 10 international Pop-acts to rise in 2013.
DENA is currently touring Europe with a London show confirmed for the 17th October (venue TBC.) She is also putting the final touches on her debut album together with Finnish producer Jonas Verwijnen, due for release early 2014.

The Herbaliser vs. LPZ/Lopez!(Free Downloads)

Having made a triumphant return late last year with their critically acclaimed album ‘There Were Seven’, The Herbaliser are looking forward to a busy summer doing what they do best, delivering the best live funk, soul, hip-hop, breaks and beats show around.

The South American production team have delivered two very different remixes, the first of ‘Crimes & Misdemeanours’ under their Lopez tag, keeps the hip-hop tempo, adding just a touch of electro grit and bass weight to proceedings.

Then as LPZ they turn ‘The Lost Boy’ into a solid house number, showing off the skills that made their 1983 EP, DJ Mag’s ‘Disco Single of the Month’ and won them supporters from DJs around the world.

Having recently remixed LOGO (for Kitsune) and Compuphonic (for Get Physical) and dropped an acclaimed 12″ on Loungin’, LPZ return to Body Work this summer, with their new EP that is already getting played by the likes of Maya Jane Coles.

UK’s Citizens! Release Here We Are (prod. by Franz Ferdinands’ Alex Kapranos) on 10/9 + First USA Tour and CMJ

London’s five-piece Citizens! recorded their 11-track-debut in Scotland last year with Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand. The result is Hear We Are. After touring Europe and playing at the major festivals, the band is eager to release their debut in the States on October 9^th via Kitsuné / Cooperative Music and their first ever American tour will start October 11^th in Los Angeles.

Citizens!’s first single “True Romance” can be heard Soundcloud HERE and see their elegant take on style in the video HERE, which is composed with footage from the 1987 Telugu movie “Pasivadi Pranam” starring the legendary Chiranjeevi. Look out for an official video for the single shortly.

The band is going on their first-ever American tour as part of the OOHLALA! Tour withTomorrow’s World (Jean-Benoit Dunckel from Air and Lou Hayter), Housse De Racketand Lescop will play exclusives shows in Los Angeles (10/11), San Francisco (10/12), Montreal (10/13) and New York (10/16), please see the flyers HERE.

For Citizens! aesthetics in music is all-important; ‘pop is not a dirty word’ they proclaim. So, after signing to French label Kitsuné, the UK band set about following their ‘manifesto’ and began recording their debut album in the wilds of Scotland, a process that proved to be a little unorthodox.

“We had a strict set of rules that we forced ourselves to abide by. One was we weren’t allowed to do any studio trickery, so there’s no autotune or correcting mistakes or anything on the record. And then there was the idea that no element of any given song was allowed to sound as if it came from the same place. So the main idea behind “True Romance” was, ‘Kanye West producing an Arcade Fire song’. Or maybe it’s the other way round… But it’s the thing of doing what people least expect, but making it sound addictive and exciting.”

French Duo Housse de Racket release debut album Alesia on November 1st via Kitsune

Check out a sneak preview of the new album HERE!

French synth-rock duo Housse de Racketis back with a brand new album Alesia, out this August. Alesia comes as a follow-up to their wildly successful debut, Forty Love, which garnered critical acclaim. The first available track from the explosive new album Alesia, seen on Kitsune Maison 10, is “Chateau,” check out the remix HERE.

The French duo will be touring throughout America in December with fellow Frenchmen, pop trio Yelle.

For Alesia, Housse de Racket has teamed up with French super-producer, Phillipe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, The Rapture) to create a collection of eleven electro-pop songs in the vein of the bands’ own wide range of musical influences; from Ennio Morricone to David Bowie. The result is a unique compilation of tracks that embody the sound Housse de Racket has made famous, both through their first album and their live show. Recorded half in French and half in English, Alesia is an evolution of sound; a bold new direction for the bands’ sophomore album.

Housse De Racket, which translates in English to ‘tennis racket cover,’ are Victor Le Masne and Pierre Leroux. The two are highly sought-after musical collaborators with impressive resumes; they’ve worked with the likes of Chilly Gonzales, Phoenix, and Air.

Intricate, imaginative and downright filthy is the BeatauCue mission statement, and man do the nail it
with aplomb! This new EP contains 6 tracks that are ready made to destroy the most fierce of electro floors –

When you know it all started as a game between the two friends, their dazzling rise is even more impressive.
Falcon Punch, a six original tracks EP including “H.O.W.L”,a collaboration with the Japanese DJ Shinichi Osawa a.k.a Mondo Grosso, is another proof that there is no age for talent! With an even more energetic sound and loads of turbine, they definitely seem to be on the road to maturity.

Their Debut Native To Is Set For Release on June 14th on Kitsuné/ Cooperative Music / Downtown Records

“Filmed in a sleepy French suburb, starring a group of the coolest kids in the cul-de-sac, The Greeks’ video reflects the song — it’s about everything, and kinda nothing, and being young, or something.”  Is Tropical explained MEGAFORCE’s concept of the violent Manga-inspired music video: “Part Rumblefish, part Die Hard, part Akira, we wanted to work together to create something both visually appealing and aesthetically relevant to the band. 

“We like kids, we like gangs, we really like daydreaming and imagination; the video straddles the line between nostalgia and the visual death-porn of our generation – the action film. Don’t get carried away by politics – this is a straight-up kid brawl the way it played out in your head when you were stealing your mum’s mascara to be like Arnie in Predator.”

Is Tropical said: “It isn’t a shocking rebuke to our drama queen, populist news culture either – just naive, blissful shoot-your-mate until he’s definitely dead war-games -the way you wish it still could be”.
 
Following the release of the teaser video two weeks ago, the UK trio unleashed their official music video for “The Greeks” late last week to an overwhelming response with a combining Youtube and Vimeo count of about 900.000 views.  “We’ve been wanting to make such a video since the age of 6 !”  says the French directors team MEGAFORCE (Kid Cudi, Metronomy), the animation was done by 7 at Machine Molleand produced by Jules Dieng at Elnino.
