Shook adds his disco touch to Penguin Prison’s polished pop sound – turning “The Worse It Gets” into a dancefloor friendly tune. For all y’all in NYC this weekend come to Brooklyn Bowl to check out Penguin Prison live as well as a DJ Set from him and a DJ set from Van She Tech.

Jai Paul works his magic on Icelandic singer/songwriter, Emiliana Torrini. Churning out a remix that clocks in at 2:24 mins yet is packed with bubbling and twinkling synths along side big ass bass drums.
What is your deal Jail Paul? When are we going to get more music from you?! Is this going to be your first release, Bait One EP?

Fare Soldi fell upon my ears when I first heard their super italo/acid tune “Tuto Tutti Sempre Subito” – a tune I still bump often. The duo were gracious enough to answer a few questions as well as hooks us up with a mix they made for Scion. Check it.

1. Who is Fare Soldi? How would you describe your music?
Fare Soldi are two charming 30 y.o. with “the most and the worst” beautiful taste for everything you can find in life.
Often this is an incredible styling advantage, and just sometimes it could bring troubles. For example when putting ketchup over chocolate cakes. This strange blend makes what we call “Frico Disco”, a kind of sweaty heavy greasy disco music.
2. What was your first musical memory?
It’s quite a secret, but we met each other when we were 10 years old and started doing a cover band of the Blues Brothers. We did gigs dressed with big jackets from our parents, jumping and dancing and performing in playback. After the Milli Vanilli scandal in 1990, we felt we were the next music superstars to fall, so we changed direction. And today we can proudly say that at least our grammies are safe.
3. What are your influences, musical or otherwise?
A lot of stuff, definitely. But what made us to decide to be musicians most of any other thing, was people with moustaches.

My favorite Aussie band Van She is in NYC this week to play a few DJ gigs at Santos tomorrow night, 5.6.2010 and on an amazing bill at Brooklyn Bowl with Penguin Prison, Sat 5.8.2010. Cannot wait.
To hold all of you off check out this exclusive Asian Dan Mix courtesy the Van She Tech boys they crafted for me last year.

Ratatat returns this summer with their apocalyptic rock sound via “LP4”. A collection of tunes that were written and recorded at the same time as LP3, so there is already a precedent set that these are just a collection of B-sides that didn’t make the cut for LP3. With that in mind there is still a lot of that jungley/tribal vibe sprinkled throughout this record. “Neckbrace” embraces the closest thing to vocals you will have on a Ratatat tune, a gutteral sampled and chopped sort of beatbox bassline a la Rahzel on Bjork’s album “Medulla”.
<3 Ratatat but I want bigger and more \m/ guitars ;)

Just stumbled upon Kisses on Transparent, my fav blog turned IRL label. Kisses are a Lost Angeles based duo that combine a chillwave Balearic disco aesthetic with Morrissey sounding vocals. The Whitest Boy Alive meets Washed Out. Summery, lofty, and fleeting – just like chillwave.
