JFK from MSTRKRFT hatin’ on "Live Electronic" Musicians


JFK on the MSTRKRFT Message Board talking about Electronic musicians “playing live”.

MSTRKRFT Checks in from Studio – Pitchfork

“I guarantee you when this record is done and people have heard it, everyone will want to talk to us again. I think we’re actually going to do something different in a climate where everything sounds the same. That’s our goal. And we won’t rest! [laughs] Until our enemies are vanquished! [laughs] Oh, and everyone should go see Rambo.” – JFK

“when DJ falcon plays off ableton, its the most involved ableton setup ive ever seen… and ive seen everyones. everything was broken down to 2 bar sections and he was combining and mixing like, 4 things together at all times…. thats more involved than many ‘live’ setups, yet he calls it what it is… DJing. ?” – JFK

Alan Braxe & DJ Falcon Live @ The Viper Room LA

This is an amazing set by DJ Falcon mixing and mashing up songs into a musical pastiche. Take that Girl Talk.

MSTRKRFT vs. Stardust

MSTRKRFT’s sets are something that everyone should experience. It is nonstop energy that escalates into some of the heaviest music you could ever experience. Triple J down in Australia recently played their set from Parklife on New Years and it brought back memories of their show at Studio B back in October.

Post-Xmas Tunes

Don Rimini – Let Me Back Up (Crookers Remix)
This tune is some dirty crunktastic techno. Crookers are an Italian duo and roll deep with The Bloody Beetroots. When the main part of this song drops watchout.
Crookers Myspace

Here is a really poor quality clip of the much talked about MSTRKRT track, VUVUVU. The first 2 mins is the track then they spin the Crookers Don Rimini Remix.
MSTRKRFT -VUVUVU (Live)

Another track by the Cazals, I love the Ronnettes “Be My Baby” drums in the beginning. I can’t wait for their album.
Cazals – My Ex-Valentine (demo)

Checkout these tracks from an up and coming producer from Brooklyn, Alden D. I’m digging his old school techno sound, reminds me of Beltram or Jeff Mills.
Alden D – Massive
Alden D – Let It Be

Girls Are Short & Cassius


Check this great remix that I just rediscovered today as my iPod was on shuffle. It is a remix of Death from Above 1979 R.I.P. , by Girls are Short aka ALP, 1/2 of MSTRKRFT. It is a totally paying homage to French Filter House. Note the psuedo- Stardust guitar part.

Death from Above 1979 – Romantic Rights (Girls are Short Remix)

I also just started listening to Cassius today and just found out that they are now a band. After being on the French scene for years as an influential French duo they decided to acoustify and translate their songs into the rock and roll world. Pharrell is boys with them so that gives them some street cred as well as having Ghostface make an appearence on their 2nd album, Au Reve. Here is a track from their album 1999.
Cassius – Feelings for You

Vicarious Bliss vs. Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (Repirse)

Vicarious Bliss and Sébastien Tellier team up to rework this amazing track that is just so versatile and good. This time the duo turns this song into a track that New Order would approve of. Fantastic Peter Hook-esque bassline. Cheers.

MSTRKRFT – VUVUVU

 

A small clip of MSTRKRFT’s new track that apparently every DJ has been asking them for. It is some hardcore, sweaty, raw House. They spun this when I saw them in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, intense stuff.
 

 

A few words from JFK’s MSTRKRFT message board.
 

yes, this is VUVUVU.

the track after it is an unreleased crookers remix i re-edited.

glad you like VUVUVU… that break was the most complicated midi problem we ever had. we had to use calculators even. seriously.

EDIT: i perfer this video of it, even though the sound isnt as good. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Ubvr0ywy4

j f k

xavier from justice named it sorta… we were talking about the music we make and he said that they make “BOOM CRACK BOOM CRACK” music and we make ” VU VU VU” music. hahah. we figured this was the most VU VU VU a song could possibly be.

yup.
