Really? Really?
This got more coverage than the guy interrupting the President.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! during a formal speech.
Wow. Did Taylor Swift get punched in the face?
Did Kanye interrupt her Nobel Prize speech? Oscar or even a Grammy?
C’mon it was the freakin MTV video awards.
MTV has completely jumped the shark in not playing videos and are so hypocritical in kicking him out because they were suppose to be the “maverick” awards show.
Not like the stuffy Grammys.
Well they are about as “maverick” as Sarah Palin about now.

THIS IS NOT NEWS YOU ZOMBIES!
Turn off Entertainment Tonight and How I Met Your Mother
Pay more attention to Health Care Reform, the litter in your neighborhood, and your kids’ education

ok not really a picture of him!

Maga Bo is a DJ/producer working with an international collision of styles, sounds, location recordings from all continents and beats that have yet to be classified. A study in the digital contortions of hip hop, ragga, breakbeat and jungle drum ‘n’ bass, his sound is a divine (s)mashup of batucada, rai, capoeira, bhangra, and skewed electronic beats in a borderless conundrum of gritty street sounds, found and modified rhythms and melodies from Brazil, Morocco, Senegal, India and beyond. DJing and producing tracks with a portable laptop studio, he has worked and performed in North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Shantel, real name Stefan Hantel (born in Frankfurt January 1, 1968), is a German producer and DJ, known for his work with gypsy brass orchestras, DJing and remixing traditional Balkan music with electronic beats. He is a descendant of the refugee Bukovina Germans.

Shantel began his DJ career in Frankfurt, Germany, and was inspired by the audience reaction to gypsy brass bands such as Fanfare Ciocărlia and trumpeter Boban Marković to infuse electronically-tweaked Balkan gypsy music into his DJ set. He released two compilations of his popular DJ night, Bucovina Club, on his own Essay label, which won the Club Global award in the 2006 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music. He was one of several DJs to remix recordings of Taraful Haiducilor and Kočani Orkestar on the Electric Gypsyland compilations from Belgium’s Crammed Discs label, and released his next album on that label.^[1] Shantel’s 2007 album Disko Partizani departed somewhat from the techno sound of Bucovina Club, concentrating more on the music’s Balkan roots.^[2]

Nortec Collective is a musical ensemble from northern Mexico. Their musical genre includes electronica in the nortec (”norteño” + “techno”) style.

Nortec Collective’s second album, Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 3, was the recipient of much critical praise and was nominated for two Latin Grammy awards in 2006.

The Nortec Collective is composed of five artists: Fussible (Pepe Mogt), Bostich (Ramon Amezcua), Panóptica (Roberto Mendoza), Clorofila (Jorge Verdín) and Hiperboreal (Pedro Gabriel Beas). These producers create and perform a style of music called Nortec - a fusion of norteño (”from the North”) and techno, documenting the collision between the style and culture of electronica and traditional Mexican music.

Since 1999, the Nortec Collective musicians have toured throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Japan and Latin America, and played New York’s Central Park SummerStage and Irving Plaza, as well as the prestigious Winter Music Conference in Miami and shows at the Royal Festival Hall in London and Elysée Montmartre in Paris.

Former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo invited Nortec to provide music for the Mexican pavilion at the Expo 2000 in Hannover, and they’ve done remixes for Beck, Calexico, Ennio Morricone, Kronos quartet, Leigh Nash, and Lenny Kravitz among others.

In 2006 Nortec performed at the LA Weekly Detour Festival in Los Angeles, sharing the bill with Beck, Queens of the Stone Age, and Basement Jaxx.

Nortec’s music has appeared in commercials for Volvo, Dell, Fidelity Mutual, Edwin Jeans (with Brad Pitt), Nissan and others.

The song “Tijuana Makes Me Happy” is one of the soundtracks in 2006 FIFA World Cup video game and the title song of the feature film by the same name Tijuana Makes Me Happy.

An interactive book entitled “Paso del Nortec: This Is Tijuana” dedicated to the Nortec phenomena was released in the US, Mexico and Europe in 2004.

In 2005, Nortec Collective released their most acclaimed work to date, the album “Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 3″, which received two Latin Grammy nominations and earned significant airplay on tastemaker radio stations like KCRW (Los Angeles), KEXP (Seattle) and KUT (Austin).

The book “Nor-tec Rifa!: Electronic Dance Music from Tijuana to the World” by Alejandro L. Madrid was published in March 2008. “With an impressive hybrid of musicology, ethnomusicology, cultural and performance studies, urbanism, and border studies, Nor-tec Rifa! offers compelling insights into the cultural production of Nor-tec as it stems from nortena, banda, and grupera traditions. The book is also among the first to offer detailed accounts of Nor-tec music’s composition process.”Amazon.com Product Description

A new album titled “Nortec Collective Presents Bostich + Fussible: Tijuana Sound Machine” is released digitally on April 29th and in stores on May 6th.

Nortec’s album Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 3 (Nacional Records) received two Latin Grammy nominations in 2006 for “Best Alternative Music Album” and “Best Recording Package.”

Orien

orien - look at my eyes

After chainsawing some trees in my backyard (literally… not a euphemism for illegal activity), I made my way to my local head shop. The guy behind the counter recognized me from the Bass Nectar show and we had a chat about local electronic music and shows. I couldn’t help but notice what they had playing over the store stereo system. Nothing like getting turned on to some new music at the head shop.

Yea its the weekend coming up and the MBM show is Saturday. So take this as your Friday and Saturday post and someone less hungover than me on Sunday can post:

Starkey
i had a hard time deciding which out of three trks of his to post. he’s got a shed load of mixes here if you want to download some
the single trk i chose has a little of everything thrown in. his other ones are a little more dubstep or idm.
all good.

Starkey - Glassy eyes (remix)

fred said he dug the last show at the parish. here is the bassnectar evil myspace presence.

i will say this, the sound at the parish is great. this time it will be antones, where the sound is not so great, but i’m sure that won’t stop plenty of people from coming out. tickets are on sale at frontgatetickets. it should be noted that antones has had quite a few electronic acts over the past couple years.

i didn’t realize how much this guy tours. he must compose while in the van.

DJ Manny and BigFace open.

more info here.

Kusser - Love is a Battlefield

My contribution to the 80’s covers. My live shows have been veering more towards the party-type stuff to move asses and make it a little more interesting than guys trading tidbits on technology like pound cake recipes. The slower stuff usually gets left at home and doesn’t get the video treatment.

Don’t watch Friday Night Videos on acid and ketamine
