It’s Alive!

The fact that we haven’t been posting much recently doesn’t mean that we are not listening to new music. I already previously mentioned an experiment with Tumblr, now we have attached a Delicious bookmark feed on the right of the page. It points (mostly) to Juno releases where you can do the easy job of listening after we have done the hard job of selecting.

God knows what’s next – Twitter? (Sigh…)

Here are some of our recent faves:

Sideshow – If Alone ft Paul St. Hilaire (Chateau Flight remix) – Buy in Juno Download

Gorge – Garuna – Buy in Juno Download

Lars Bartkhun – Goodbye Dancing Hello God (Arto Mwambe remix) – Buy in Juno Download

I:Cube – Prophetization

Versatile – VER 056

This one you already know from Chateau Flight’s Body Language. Or actually, you know both sides of the record. However, I insist on special attention! The damn record is so French you can smell the cheese, and it will grow on you before you can say “Daft Punk!”. Since I’ve always been a sucker for those dramatic types of tracks (the videos of which would usually feature eagles flying and huge fireworks and icebergs falling into water and men jumping off cliffs, all of that in slow motion, you know what I mean) my pick would be “Prophetization”. “Pazuzu” again is for walking down the street in a tuxedo and white shoes, wearing huge sunglasses and headphones – sophisticated funk, if you will. So anyway, if you still want to hear it after these stupid portrayals, here you go.

A: Prophetization
B: Pazuzu

Chateau Flight – Body Language vol 5

Get Physical – GPMCD 012 / GPMLP 018

Get Physical‘s DJ-mixes keep getting better and better. I barely got over Dixon‘s staggering selection on Body Language vol 4. Now the two crazy frog-eaters, Gilb’R and I:Cube (great f***ing names I say…) aka Chateau Flight have launched their own madness of a DJ-mix. I got a chance to catch the guys on Sonar 2007 in Barcelona where they gave a sexy laptop live to a gorgeous stoned-out crowd. One of the hits of their Sonar set is also featured on this mix-CD, namely “Baltringue”. This was in fact introduced on Dixon’s Body Language, mixed/edited by Dixon and Henrik Schwarz. Anyway, it has got to be one of the stand-out tunes for me on this CD as well.

Body Language vol 5 features a lot of Chateau Flight’s own productions, mixed with strange balearic sounds and leftside techno. The 2xLP is a blessing for those idle DJs like me who don’t have enough time to do their own crate-digging (shame on you…). If you’re into the Chateau Flight sound (and being on this page, you probably are), be sure to dig into this one.
