Adeyhawke has lately created quite a buzz around himself. Adeyhawke has a distinct, utterly refreshing sound with references to late 70’s and early 80’s dance music. Although he would pass as a French producer any day, Adeyhawke is Irish and a Dubliner with a feel for restless bass lines, and retro harmonies. While eagerly waiting for a new release the tracks below will have to suffice for now.

KANO was formed in 1979 by Italian-based producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. KANO’s debut in 1980 with the single “I’m Ready” became an instant hit that helped propel the genre further. However KANO’s career wasn’t long lasting but songs like “Another Life” and “I’m ready” has lately been heavily sampled.

Get ready to rumble. This post covers swedish Neon Blak who is currently giving the likes of Maethelvin and Kavinsky a good run for the money. Check out their myspace as well as all the tracks bellow, in particular Pussy Palace is highly recommended.
This morning started out with some gruesome weather but somewhere after lunch the sun came out and the day turned into a really nice spring day and with the track Raised by Wolves playing on my iPod things where solid, hence I thought I would share the song with you. The band behind the tune is Canadian The Cansecos who recently performed at the South by Southwest festival. Their latest release “JUICES!”, which came out last November, provides a sweet electro influenced pop sound and is highly recommended.
The Cansecos - Juices!
Todays post covers Farah. Farah who is glossy eyed southern Texas gal delivers a, much like her labelmates on Jersey City based Italians Do it Better, druggy and teasing sound signed Johnny Jewel that builds and builds.
New Yorker Man Parrish was one of the groundbreakers in the American 80s electro who quickly became an inspirational resource for the likes of Run Dmc and the breakdance scene of the time. While Parrish started out making “Heatstroke” as a soundtrack for a porno movie, “Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don’t Stop)”, became his first hit. The 1983 release, which was recorded in a studio that Man Parrish shared with Afrika Baambaata, sold over two and a half million copies and was followed up by legendary “Boogie Down Bronx” as an answer to Afrika Baambaata’s record “Looking for the Perfect Beat”. Today Man Parrish is a resident DJ at Sunday club “Sperm” which is housed by East Village venue the Cock.

Today’s post is a quick one but nevertheless well worth to notice. Last week I got a hold of the Outrunners new release Cool Feeling EP, and I haven’t stopped listening to it since then. The Outrunners are part of the French music collective Valerie and consists of Pierre de la Touche & Stephen Falken who are delivering an extra large portion of greased synthesisers. And they are kind enough to give everyone a taste, download the Cool Feeling EP for free here. So kick back, get yourself a Fuzzy Navel, a few slices of canned pineapple and live it up!
And now to an artist who might be one of the single most important pioneers when it comes to electronic music, namely Giorgio Moroder. Giorgio Moroder, who grew up in Italy in the 1940s, became a highly regarded dance music producer/composer in the 70’s, making his breakthrough after joining forces with Donna Summer.
Together they debuted in 1974 with the release of “Lady of the Night” which was followed by a big number of hits in the years to come. Moroder had however already begun his career a few years prior with the single “Looky Looky” which was recorded in his studio in Munich.
By the late 70’s Moroder turned to film music and composed the score for Midnight Express, which resulted in an Academy Award. Other movies to which Moroder contributed are Scarface, Flashdance and Top Gun. During the same period he also produced a number of artist including, David Bowie, Miami Sound Machine, Berlin and Blondie.
Much of Moroder’s success was outlined by his, much copied, futuristic synth-based sound with sweeping bass lines and computerised drums. Remaining a major influence to many dance music producers, the last Moroder sample is yet to be heard.

Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity
Parisian Sébastien Tellier is back with a new release on the record label “Record Makers”. The album, “Sexuality”, is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and is Sébastien Telliers third studio album. Sexuality is vintage yet top modern, delivering warm passion that has been unheard of since the days of Serge Gainsbourg. As the album cleverly combines soft-edged electro with lush strings and tender synthetic basses, one is left wondering why background groaning isn’t a more commonly used element by today’s producers.
Amour!
