Watch: Alex Metric & Mark Yardley – Ilium
A man of many faces, Alex Metric has disregarded his indie persona for a more energy-packed electro vibe in his latest three-part 'Ammunition' EP. If you've not met with Brit, DJ-Follower's Alex Metric feature will provide you with everything you need to know. Those who've followed his lates endavours have heard the fire-power on 'Ammunition Pt. 2' EP. The third part was released on OWSLA just last month
We'd like to turn you're attention to yet another vibrant effort from Metric. While 'Ilium' has got its appeal (especially with the video below accompanying it), there's nothing like the 80's synth pop influenced 'Scandalism' on this EP.
Let yourself be carried into space, reminiscing about the times of retro video games, Space Odyssey and Tron neon lights. 'Ilium' was co-produced by Mark Yardley of Stanton Warriors!
Watch: The Gaslamp Killer – ‘In The Dark’
Perhaps not the most appropriate season to publish a video where most of the shooting takes place in a creepy forest covered in snow. Nevertheless, those who've survived the long winter will appreciate the Summer all the more for that. The psychedelic hip-hop producer who goes by the name of The Gaslamp Killer, released his debut album 'Breakthrough' in the end of 2012. Shot in the forests outside of Prague, the surreal video is the brainchild of Hyperballad (Dano Cerny and Marielle Tepper). Enjoy the trip into the religious geometry, snowy forests, and 12th century abbey!
Dig this: Funny or Die’s Daft Punk parody
The latest instalment of Daft Punk's The Collaborators is here. “Every now and then some people come along and make an album that will change the world forever, change the universe for eternity,” a voiceover begins, as 'Get Lucky' starts playing in the background. “And someone needs to serve those people some pizza, because they get hungry.”
Most recently, Chilly Gonzales shared his thoughts on Daft Punk. Chilly is joining the line-up of high caliber collaborators who've already gotten to talk about their experiences: Giorgio Moroder, Pharell Williams, Panda Bear, Todd Edwards and Nile Rodgers. While most of the talks have been insightful and magical as they were intended, some parts have been ridiculed before. It might've been Pharrell's description that got Andrew the Piazza Guy so worked up. The r'n'b artist, at one point with full serious game face:“Somewhere outside of the ether that we exist in is a multitude of realms of possibility, and alternate directions…”
“You look around and pizza these days has no soul. But here comes this pair, and they order something from a whole other era,” one of Andrew the Pizza Guy’s insights begins. “It’s like they captured everything that was great about pizza in the 70s, and made it their own. But at the same time, this thing is a modern masterpiece. There were toppings on this thing I didn’t even know we had.” Check out the parody below, and spot the HARD Events figurehead Gary Richards aka Destructo making a cameo at the end!
The Daft Punk Collaborators: Chilly Gonzales
The episode 6 of The Collaborators, sees Chilly Gonzales sit down behind a piano to share his thoughts on the experience. Virtuoso piano player, and music producer, Chilly describes Daft Punk as having the true key to our zeitgeist. So there always a little bit ahead of everybody else knowing what moods and keys to use for a transcendent result! Enjoy!
Video for fresh Disclosure tune ‘You & Me’ ft. Eliza Doolittle
The video's exactly how you'd visualize the 90's r'n'b flavor tune that the Disclosure duo cooked up with the help of Eliza Doolittle. The forthcoming album is due out June 3rd, and this is another buzz accelerating tune from it. Go along the trip through Europe filled with backflips, 4-wheelers, romance and a giant dildo?!. Don't forget to crank up the bass for the acid house bass!
