JOHN TALABOT REMIXES THE GOLDEN FILTER… AND KILLS IT


[HearDis! 168]

This one’s a real slow burner. John Talabot – the mysterious Spanish producer that sometimes wraps his head in tinfoil to hide his identity – has added all kinds of restrained bounce to The Golden Filter‘s “Kill Me” for this remix. If you’re into it, we highly recommend you go out and check Talabot’s full-length ƒin and the Golden Filter album from which the original track comes, Syndromes.

KINGDOM COME: 100% SILK RELEASES FORT ROMEAU


[HearDis! 166]

100% Silk is a label spun off from LA’s Not Not Fun imprint. Since January of 2011, they’ve been releasing twelve-inches (and even some cassettes!) showcasing left-of-center, warm electronic music. Fort Romeau – a side project of La Roux keyboard player, Mike Norris – is their newest signing and the first artist to release a full LP on the label. The album, Kingdoms, is a meditation on Larry Heard and Theo Parrish-inspired house, with off-kilter grooves held up by thick, analog bass drums. We’re very happy to present the title track from the album for free download. Dig in.

JOAKIM IS NEVER LOST


[HearDis! 164]

Joakim, the Parisian musical-polymath and head of Tigersushi Records, has been keeping the scene in awe with his eclectic releases for well over a decade now. Throughout his career, he has constantly managed to put out music that actually deserves the rather worn out label “avant-garde”, while never leaving the listener with a “doing homework”-sort of feel. His influences range from The Stooges to Italo Disco, but as his newest gem reveals again, he always finds his way out of the genre-labyrinth in a refreshingly classy manner. Forward ever, backward never!

COUPLE STYLE

I simply adore stylish celebrity couples like Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl. Not because they both look fabulous, but because they look fabulous as a couple. For inspiration’s sake, here are some great couple styles from the HUGO Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

GOLDEN BUG DOESN’T PLAY AROUND


[HearDis! 162]

Golden Bug is back with a twisted disco number featuring the high falsetto of Lou Teti. It’s weird and it’s contorted, and even though the song’s called “Play Around,” it really doesn’t seem like Golden Bug is playing around in the least.
