bang hers

friday = bangers.

this new tepr remix is one of the most expansive, vast remixes ive heard for a long long time.. it is more techy and less 8-bit than previous tepr releases, and the unusual time signature really fills out the dark, wistful mood.. so so good.

Chew Lips - Solo (Tepr Remix)

roman salzger's brand of electro house always always impresses me and his new release 'caroline' is no no different. certifiable d-floor filler. maybe a d-floor w.m.d. or something like that.

Roman Salzger - Caroline

weekend timeeee yeeehaa

when i listen to an album like french producer Tepr's new one - Cote Quest - i cant help but think how different and potentially important it is. i guess i sort of felt the same when i listened to cut copy or the mars volta's first albums.

i wasn't exactly sure what to expect when i first flicked it on- my first impression of Tepr was off his old remix of yelle, which i really wasnt impressed with.
since then though, he has definitely refined and cleaned up his sound which is welcome indeedee. so.. i guess the best way to describe his sound is as a combination of epic justicey french house with hip hop and a good measure of video game and old school synths. but i reckon the sound is more than the sum of these parts.... it sort of feels like it belongs in a genre of its own..

Tepr - My Friend Guo Ran

Tepr - Muchas Tetas, Poco Sexo

its hard to describe exactly what makes this album so important.. although these songs are awesome- i doubt you will get what im saying without hearing the album.
but anyway.. enough with this grandiose shite.. enjoy these songs- they rock socks. tits yeyo and yum yum is my early fave- at precisely 3.14 it goes CRAZY... seriously the best video game music i have EVER heard- way better than kavinsky.

Tepr - Tits, Yeyo & Yum Yum

his newer remixes are off da chain as well.. i really am so impressed with how much he has picked up his production skills since that yelle remix.

Santogold - Aha (Tepr Remix)

Rafale - Rock It (Tepr Remix)

Kid Sister - Pro Nails (Tepr Remix)

i reckon theres big things ahead for tepr- keep your eyes peeled
ive tried to track down where you can actually buy his album from with no luck- if anyone knows can you let me know?

writing about dodgy sunday mornings listening to Siriusmo in darkened rooms reminded me of a fun game to play in these sorts of situations. thought i might pass some love on britney spears style.

so.... if you find yourself in a similar scattered situation this weekend, or indeed any weekend (or weekday for you crazy kids) have a crack at it. it is a big industrial/donkey kong sized barrel of laughs.

the game it is called Expression Session and basically the aim of the game is to nominate 2 facial expressions and to express them both on your face at the same time.
Usually one of these would be a standard emotional expression such as happy, sad or angry while the other would be a less emotionally specific expression such as puzzled, content or deranged.
For example, someone might get picked to express 'Happy, yet puzzled'.
im sure the game doesnt sound all that fun now in the sober state you may be in but believe me, after a big night it is the funniest shite going around.

and... to perfectly complement a morning of facial antics (or even better, a night of bootay clappin') is our old friend datA.
I know that these tracks are old but damn they're good.. i can blame gus da hoodrat for reminding me of datA after i heard him playing the minuit jacuzzi remix at daft punk.
anywayz...

datA - Aerius Light

datA - J'aime Pas l'Art (2007 Mix)

Tepr - Minuit Jacuzzi (datA remix)

Chromeo - Needy Girl (datA remix)
