at the last minute, i was invited to see LA's CASXIO at Bordelo last night. i was pleasantly surprised & open this playlist with their song "Seventeen" remixed by NOEL ZANCANELLA.
NY's THE VIRGINS play tonight at the Wiltern. "Teen Lovers" is a cool song... i follow with a new FAKE BLOOD remix of "Stuck on Repeat" by LITTLE BOOTS. for another version of the same song go to this February mix (it's track #15). i have a feeling Little Boots is going to blow up. why? cuz i'm a dog person yet she posted this & i luv it:
Denmark's KASPER BJØRKE nails it as usual, this time with NY hotties THE PIERCES currently doing a few shows in NY & Brooklyn. i still love "Thunderstorm" which i posted last year on this playlist (track #40)... i'm really digging the whole new wave vibe by GO GO CHARLTON remixed by fellow Frenchie HYPNOLOVE who also does a fun remix of Sebastien Tellier's La Ritournelle. you can hear it on myspace. the original is track #41 on this January playlist & click here for the video.
i love what A-TRAK did for Nike Plus; i've listened to this one on repeat many times. here are some pix i took of him with his girlfriend Kid Sister... i'm also very fond of Italy's BROKE ONE who keeps putting out some fun original tracks & remixes... as for tunes i don't mention here, look them up yourselves.
if you don't get my reference to "La Boum" here's a clue:
aaaaah le cinéma français!!! "La Boum" introduced us to the beautiful Sophie Marceau; "Léon" to the irresistible Natalie Portman, etc etc... French directors have impeccable taste in girls!!!

Media artist Toshio Iwai and Yamaha have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, TENORI-ON. A 16x16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a "visible music" interface.
The TENORI-ON is a unique 16 x 16 LED button matrix performance instrument with a stunning visual display. For DJs & producers it is a unique performance tool enabling them to perform using MIDI and load the TENORI-ON with samples to 'jam/improvise' within their set BPMs.on this Video it seems lame at first but watch it all the way through:
The TENORI-ON 16 x 16 LED button matrix is simultaneously a performance input controller and display. By operating and interacting with the LED buttons and the light they produce you gain access to the TENORI-ON's numerous performance capabilities. The TENORI-ON provides six different performance and sound/light modes for broad performance versatility, and these modes can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical expression.
my boss Debbie Maniscalco is a hot mess!!! J/K!
