new ep: navid izadi "feelin' purple"

 

 

just before navid izadi went to japan for the first time, he released a new ep called "feelin' purple". the ep is released by wolf + lamb and includs a remix by soulclap of the title track. the 5 track ep can be picked up from here.

navid izadi is a san fransisco dj, singer and rapper (but rarely over rap beats) that over the last year has rapidly gone from a local club kid to a music industry buzz. but what is interesting is that he produces music that effortlessly weaves between his influences.

 

enjoy! <3

karl hyde preforms "8 ball" live

 

 

i guess i had the same expression on my face as karl (pic above) after listening to this adaptation of underworld's "8 ball" for the first time. i got surprised that good old karl still got the ability to come up with something good, even i basically asked for my old heroes resignation in a post 18 months ago.

"8 ball" was originally released on a pretty good soundtrack to a very lousy film, "the beach". in fact the only reason i went to see the film back in 2000 was that i had heard the soundtrack. and i really didnt think that some of my fave artists at the time, like the chemical brothers, leftifield and underworld, would allow a crappy film use their tunes! i know it was directed by danny boyle and featured tilda swinton, but unfortunately that was not enough...

 

enjoy! <3

video: terranova featuring bon homme "endless summer"

 

 

when i first heard this song i noticed that the voice to bon homme were very familiar, but i had no clue were i had heard it before. quite a few days came and went before it struck me that bone homme is the alter ego of the good-humoured fellow tomas høffding from the danish band whomadewho. 

this time around bon homme has teamed up with fetisch and &me in the grerman band terranova and made a tune that might last all summer, and beyond!

 

enjoy! <3 

 

update: seems like muso, the world leader of protecting stuff from online piracy, has managed to block an official video from the youtube stream of terranova's own record company - k7! well done!

thats why ive changed the video to the trailer of an old surfer documentary from 1966, the endless summer! 

  2nd update: seems like the video is available again , but Ill leave the trailer just in case...
