I saw this video of Starscream’s 2009 BLIP performance on Vice’s Motherboard and figured I’d share it here. Jean Y. Kim, a 21-year-old studio art student at NYU, uses a Gameboy to produce some “mind blowing” visuals while the band throws down a fit of 8-bit glory.

Julio Bashmore is one classy dude. Somehow the kid churns out tunes that are the perfect bridge between the UK’s current scene and Dirtybird’s signature, Tech-House style. In short, he’s pretty much a dream come true for us at Hot Bizzies. Another dream come true is his elegantly bass-heavy remix of Delphic’s “Halcyon”, which perfectly demonstrates his genius and flexibility.
This tune is so versatile that you could hear it rinsed to the masses at a Claude VonStroke show or on a much smaller, more intimate level with Bok Bok in one of his ustream sessions. Yes, the vocals are missing, but there are other remixers from this release who utilize them quite well; L-Vis 1990 and Deadboy are a couple of them. Also, if you’re not familiar with Delphic, their new release, Acolyte, is available on iTunes (UK only) and comes with a bonus track and videos. Get on it.

Well of course the new Anoraak is really good. The chillacious remix of Shy Child’s “Disconnected” feels like the perfect music to just space out to at the end of a 12 hour work day (it’s been a rough month.) On an unrelated note, writing about Anoraak right now just made me think of when I got the opportunity to play with him and College when they were here in Chicago. They were two of the nicest guys ever. Thanks for that gig, Black Holes.

Ireland is basically crushing it this year. First, Two Door Cinema Club take over my iPod and now And So I Watch You From Afar delightfully show up in my inbox. The best way to describe ASIWYFA’s sound is to say that they’re basically next door neighbors to Explosions In the Sky and right down the block from M83… If we were relating them by means of residential metaphors, that is.
Anyway, you can catch these guys in Toronto, New York, a few spots at SXSW and all over in the UK (see their Myspace for full listing.) If you’re unable to attend any of the tour, check out “The Voiceless”, a really solid number off of their self-titled, debut album from last year. Actually, check that tune out either way, I’m pretty sure you’ll love it.
And So I Watch You From Afar do America (and some Canada):
March 11th – The Hide Out , Queens St , Toronto ( part of CMW)
March 13th – Mercury Lounge , Manhattan
March 17th – Friends Bar , 6th St SXSW
March 21nd – Good Bye SXSW party

I randomly heard of Drexciya from one of the ustream’s that Bok Bok was doing, I think he played “Under Sea Disturbances” and I was instantly hooked. I did some Beatporting and here we are, with some hot tracks fresh from 1999 and 2002. Oh, also, if you haven’t tuned into the ustream’s that Bok, L-Vis, Kingdom and Dubbel Dutch do… YOU NEED TO.

It wasn’t too long ago when zombie movies were the big trend, but now, sadly, vampires have clearly taken their place. This fact leads me to believe that Zombies For Money, a Portuguese DJ/ production duo comprised of DJ Manaia and Klipar, won’t be getting any gigs in the movie business anytime soon. Fortunately for them, their primary skill set (aka music) should keep them busy for some time to come.
Speaking of which, they’ve just released a free, three song EP that’s full of heavy, squelchy synthed club tunes that aren’t not too far removed from that Sidney Samson or Afrojack brand of house that we all know and love. They plan on re-releasing a re-mastered version of the three songs backed with remixes by Foamo, Beware & Motorpitch, and Droptop on Feb. 25th.
Zombies For Money – Bhangra Dance
Zombies For Money – Numbra One

Finally, after what seems to be forever, Fool’s Gold has released my secret weapon to the masses. What secret weapon, you ponder? Why, no other than Kingdom’s tracks “Mindreader” and “You”. I wrote about these a long time ago here on Hot Bizzies and it’s been a fun wait, as Kingdom has grown to become one of the best producers and DJs in the game. With his percussion-heavy bass bangers layered with diva vocals, his sets and mixtapes are always a blast. And now, with the release of this EP we can finally rejoice.
The EP is backed by remixes from his UK family Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 as well as the legendary Todd Edwards. If you were lucky, you ordered the 10″ from Acephale with it’s silver foil accents and slightly different design. If you weren’t lucky, don’t worry, Fool’s Gold will re-release it. Until then, you can purchase digitally on Beatport, Boomkat, and Amazon.
