If you, like me enjoy your art as if a rainbow has vomited all over it (excuse the crude expression), then get an eyeful of this.

John Dahlgren is an artist originating from Stockholm, Sweden. He creates beautiful installation / architectural pieces hich delight in surfaces without being superficial using everyday materials such as coffee cups and lamps.

“He deals in the patterns and curves that a stack of plastic cups makes and the spirals that form if their handles are turned. Dahlgren evokes a childhood fascination with brightly coloured objects, charting a journey of time spent with mother, from the cottom reels of the haberdashery department to the clothes pegs of the washing line and back to the towers of stickle bricks and Lego”

What I like most about Dahlgren is not only is pattern apart of his art, but also apart of his life. Apparently he has 400 striped t-shirts, and wears one everyday without fail!

Have a splendid weekend!

A-Trak‘s latest production is his remix of Kilometer by Sébastien Tellier. Despite trying to stop remixing and concentrate on his own productions he just couldn’t refuse the offer from Mr. Tellier to remix his favourite track on the Sexuality album.

Although only one month into 2009, Busy P has already stated it as being “The remix of the year” on his blog.

The party fun factor achieved in previous productions is also instilled into this remix. I found myself wanting a large dancefloor to spin around on as soon as I heard it.

It is less punchy than previous remixes and is rather more a disco house track full of funk and soul. It features a deep yet funky plucky bass riff, repeated synth chords and vocals (as sampled from the original song), and newly added orchestral strings (performed for the first time by A-Trak himself).

This version will bring the sexy nature of the Tellier original to all club dancefloors.

Get your ears on this and have a little dance.

Have a great weekend.

Welcome to Fare Soldi…

Two musicians from the north city Udine actively promoting their national treasure. Though their music can not be referred to italo-disco. No surprises. Eventually, everyrhing is changing, developing, music is not an exception. Nowadays only few could be referred to only house music, or only techno. You can’t be limited with only one style. As for me, it’s only good thing. Music become much more interesting and richy. Fare Soldi for example, is the cocktail of funk, italo-disco-house, and even is a little bit of dub. Quite modern, good-listening and dancey..

Well what can I say, Italians really do.. do it better!

Recommended listening..

• (Take me to) Zingales – Fare Soldi
• I wanna feel Collins – Fare Soldi
• Dolo Boys – Fare Soldi
• Message in Abbado – Fare Soldi

Enjoy folks.

The Hundred In The Hands are Jason Freidman (formerly of ‘The Boggs’) & Eleanore Everdell.

This New York Central Park performer drums and plays improvised beats on pieces of scrap metal and plastic. Featuring melodies during the performance and a hip-hop breakdown. A joy!

Mr. Oizo‘s third album is due for public release next week and has been described by the man himself as “various electronics mixed with spirit”.

Dupieux says he struggled to make music on his laptop a few years ago, but now he couldn’t go back: “I’m in control now. Analogue is cool but it’s too slow”. But Mr. Oizo is in no hurry. He’s more concerned with the soul of his music, it’s less about technology. “I hope you’ll feel my presence, I’m trying to humanise music and to be myself”.
