MGMT - Electric Feel

What I like about MGMT is that they seem to be reviving a genre music I'd normally not give a shit about. But there's something extremely fun about it. I guess it helps that this Justice remix was one of the first things I've heard from them.

JUSTICE - Sure You Will

This one came out of nowhere. A track for 2003 featured off of a French electro/pop compilation album. This is a great surprise from the past and yet, still a great track for summer drives!

Justice - Sure You Will

SAMPLES: Justice + Mr. Oizo + Daft Punk

After my post about the video for Stress by Justice, I did a little more browsing on Youtube for any other great videos for Justice. Me being the fiend for finding samples, I stumbled across some great ones.

Justice - Phantom
Goblin - Tenebre

This is one my friend Chris actually came across a few weeks before the Cross album came out. He was on Netflix looking for some old horror movies to rent and he came across the video preview for an old Dario Argento movie called "Tenebre." He immediately heard the reference and he had to add it to his queue!

Justice - New Jack
The Brothers Johnson - You Make Me Wanna Wiggle


This is one I came across on Youtube and it's great. I absolutely love funk songs that sound like this. This reminds me of another amazing funk sampled in an french electro track...

It's crazy to know that one of my favorite Mr. Oizo (Myspace) tracks is less of a remix or sample of an old school disco track, but more of a retooling of it. The sample comes from Gary's Gang, a band that was famous around the time of American Bandstand. How many people in their early 20s actually know what that is?

Gary's Gang - Do It At The Disco



And of course, there's this classic Daft Punk sample video

VIDEO: Justice - Stress

I'm quite glad that Justice made this video the way they did. While all the bubblegum teeny boppers got their kicks enjoying the fun time dance party that was "D.A.N.C.E." Justice decided to reinform the general public that their music is not for you. They are not your friends. They don't want to be on your top 10 video programs and they don't want to advertise your shitty TV network. Either get on the dance floor or get the fuck out of their faces.

I love them for making this video. Also, does anyone else think those crosses are done in CG?

Here are some more Stress related treats:

David Shire - Night On Disco Mountain (2007 Remastered Saturday Night Fever LP Version) (Stress sample Origin)
Fucked Up - Stress (Heavy Metal Cover)
Justice - Stress (Autoremix)

So-Me at it again?

I'm sure you've seen this promo for the "Cross" album from Justice.

I ran across a curious bit on a message board I frequent and one of the posters realized that particular cross looks a bit similar to something.




and zooming out...

It looks a lot like the little cross on the bottom right of the Best Of Delirium album cover.! I mean, could be sheer coincidence but seeing as So-Me is an avid designer and after seeing the DVNO video, it's clear the man is a master of being a copycat without being TOO obvious.

Hmm!?

Ladies and Gents: Lasse Gjertsen

His videos speak for themselves. Lasse clearly has a camcorder, some interesting ideas and way too much time on his hands. If you've ever done any sort of video editing, especially editing in time with any music or sound, you could imagine just how long all of this took. Regardless, this crazy Norwegian outdoes himself simply using a drum kit and piano. While the video is amazing in itself, it's even more impressive that he has no idea how to actually play either instrument in real life.




Lasse's original "Hyperactive" beatbox video apparently was so popular that one of my favorite sitcom's, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX Networks) decided to copy the idea for one of their promos.



You can tell they were definitely making an homage to Lasse's video by their choice of background. Actually, this is not the only time they've copied someone for one of their promos...



If you read my blog you may know I am a huge Justice (Myspace) fan. If you know their award winning video for "We Are Your Friends," then the above may seem familiar. If you've never seen the video, here it is:

JUSTICE goes well with your 80's party.

The powerhouse french electro duo Justice may not be best known for getting heavy play at your best friend's sister's fiance's 80's party, but here are two remixes that may make you rearrange that iPod playlist.



A lot of people may not know Surkin, but he's remixed tons of your favorite artists. He loves chopping up vocals, DJing with Booty Bass legends like DJ Funk and pals around with the Ed Banger crew (and chills on the Institubes label.) DVNO is Justice's hot new track and if you haven't seen the video, get prepared to get blown away by the nearly copyright infringement genius of SO-ME:



Justice - DVNO (Surkin REMIX)

Alan Braxe is a name that you may have never heard before or a name that gets the kind of respect and adoration of every kid out that that loves super smooth french synth disco house. If you're not convinced that Braxe couldn't take the overplayed D.A.N.C.E. and gloss it over with the sort of flavor that people love him for, you better put on some high socks or perhaps grab a glass of wine and check out his smoother than butter remix. Also, keep your eyes out for the little Daft Punk sample in this beauty.
