New Electro/Techno 12"s Coming This Weekend:
Cinderella Ltd
EPHEMERIS EP 12"
ARPIAR006
Fresh off the label headed by RARESH and RHADOO comes this techno chugger EP. The first track hits like a techno track, but is mellowed by an almost lullaby in the background. On the flip is a loopy house cut, begging to be toyed with and layered...a groover!
Kenny Larkin
SKETCHES EP-SHLOMI ABER 12"
BAO018
KENNY & SHLOMI ABER both drop a mix of "SKETCHES." KENNY's is pure techno, with amazing drum progressions and a hypnotic lead that spans 10 minutes of funk. ABER's version is tougher with a phat bassline, a jazzy rhythm, and a snare infused shuffle.

Day #17 - Artist #17 - Etienne De Crecy:
Until I attended Coachella in 2006, I always thought of DJ/Electronic music as something that was just anonymous background music in a dark club. Even the few DJs that became superstars throughout the '90s and '00s hardly had a "face" to their music in a traditional popular music sense. I mean, except for a few strobe lights at the raves out in the desert, the DJ could be performing his set from inside a port-a-john and the crowd wouldn't know if there was even a DJ on stage or not.
But the top DJ/electronic acts booked at Coachella have started a trend over the past several years of turning the large Sahara Tent Stage ("Dance Tent"), which might otherwise be 10 hours of monotonous strobe lights and loud music, into a complete rock and roll spectacle, which is fitting since Coachella is one of the preeminent rock festivals in America. And this year, Etienne De Crecy is going to bring his unique spectacle to the "Dance Tent" toward the top of the bill, Saturday April 19, 2009.

Day #15 - Artist #15 - Girl Talk:
Not a girl. And there's no talking.
Gregg Gillis, hailing from Pittsburgh, is a DJ/mashup extraordinaire that has released four albums since 2002, and is the sole proprietor of the musical chop shop persona that is Girl Talk.
I'm surprised Girl Talk's most recent album, Feed The Animals, released in 2008 by rabble-rouser sampling label Illegal Art, wasn't sold in a brown paper bag. Possibly due to the controversy it anticipated (by failing to legally license any of the sampled music), the album provides no song titles or identifing information anywhere on the packaging except for what looks like a ransom note folded inside the case, listing hundreds of songs/artists sampled for the album.
Feed The Animals encompasses the last 40+ years of music and pop culture into 53 minutes and 53 seconds of "I can't believe he just did that..." internal monologues. Think mash-up inventor DJ Z-Trip meets 80's physical comedian Gallagher. (Including plastic sheeting on the laptop. See photo -------> )
