dDamage - ink 808 (Krazy Baldhead remix) (MP3)This Sebastian style remix from labelmate Krazy baldhead rips apart the somewhat cleaner sounds of Frenchlectro stalwart dDamage. Ed Banger is strange, because somehow they have created this incredible, individual sound, what some are calling "post modern electro". I see the point, it does do away with the minimalism and brings brave sounds and slices and dices them. Possibly the best example of this sound is the Franz Ferdinand song The fallen "ruined by Justice" (no need to post?); they definitely push forward.
Boys Noize - dont believe the hype (surkin remix) (MP3)
This is the biggest sounding song i have heard for ages, just makes me wanna put on my dancing shoes and slide on that leather. it at first sounds like your expecting a Prince vocalm, but then your mind is torn apart by this fiercely clean beat that pops up. Just as you think that you've got the song, and had enough though, these high balearic synths come in and the treble begins to irritate, but its so worth it when it drops again. I am reminded by a quote from someone i rarely listen to, Judge Jules. he said that 2007 was going to be all about sounds which are on the edge of being unbearably painful, but come off as anthemic and unnerving instead.
Does it offend you, yeah? - We are rockstars now (MP3)Hyped outfit does it offend you look to be a big name in 007, they have their deal and they have their kudos, and with songs like this and wierd science, they can back it up. This to me is what electro should be, its got the thumping relentless beats where it will drag you upon your feet (it wont let you leave the dancefloor) but it combines it with a nice pop vocal reminicesent of the airy pet shop boys or new order vocals of the 80s and early 90s.
& something a little calmer...
