Huge. Dense. POP goodness. I expect nothing less from them. Zdar makes the drums sound huge. I love it and cannot wait for this album.

Midnight Star – Close Encounter (Eddie Mars Edit)

“The Vietcong Disco met over the course of a five year lethal party ring in a compelling story of emigration (from several corners of the earth) to little known bushwick, brooklyn. Since conception, Vietcong DJs have distinguished the booths and floors of scanty-manhattanite clubs, dance halls, and raves, from outer borough warehouse parties to the infamous Leopard Lounge and Wednesday Never Ends weekly. Their polyphonic diversity has been attributed to a brisk array of ethnicities, arranged by godfather Eddie Mars. He choreographs the gang: DJ Robert Redford, fly-by-night Malcolm LaSalle and Charles Damga, bringing you never before heard disco tracks, from better decades past, when war and torment were shortlisted by dance-culture, sexuality and flashy good looks.”

This mix should hold us all off till then.

Cheers, Fluo Kids

Hope all of you had a wonderful Valentines. Now here is a new track by Tiga featuring Soulwax “Love Don’t Dance Here Anymore”. Wow. What a classic sounding dance track. Such a “last dance” track. Donna Summer would be proud. I cannot wait for this new Tiga album. Soulwax, Gonzales, James Murphy, Phillipe Zdar & Tiga? All on one album! Whew.

U2 x Hiroshi Sugimoto

Crookers remixing U2!? The Italian duo is in the big leagues now. At least this remix is better than the single but quite mediocre for the Crookers boys. The only thing redeeming about this new U2 album is the album art, by one of my favorite photographers, Hiroshi Sugimoto and they even stole that idea. Oh U2 just give up already. I miss U2 circa Joshua Tree Era.
