Skrillex Becomes Subject of ‘Seinfeld’ Mashups, Cooking Blog, Speculative Doors Quotes

In the past 48 hours, recent SPIN cover star Skrillex has been at the center of two Seinfeld video mashups depicting Kramer bugging out to his squelchy dubstep, a new Tumblr called Cooking With Skrillex that posts photos of Sonny Moore behind the decks and boiling lobsters, for example, and a hilarious quote from the surviving members of the Doors speculating that Jim Morrison would “love” his music.

See the Seinfeld videos here and here.

Boys Noize and Mr. Oizo Present BNR072: HANDBRAEKES – #1

Get ready for two genius EDM racer! BOYS NOIZE and MR. OIZO (Ed Banger) finally “collide”. They joined forces and created a duo called HANDBRAEKES.

Their first track “Callgurls” has already been premiered on Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1) late 2011 and is an eye-opener of what you can expect of two geniuses clashing their machine parks together: 100% a #1 ! 4 tracks – setting a new benchmark in the EDM scene.

“Callgurls”, “Riho”, “The Qat” and “Milc” make one thing clear, don’t mess with those two “racers” on the decks. The energetic sounds, the never ending drive through all tracks, the genius production and sudden stylistic elements… this release is an obvious rocker. Full throttle on HANDBRAEKES.

This is a big one; Mr Oizo and Boys Noize new collaboration project ‘Handbraekes’ is sounding amazing! Industrial German tech infused with Gallic insanity is a beautiful combination, so get an earful by having a listen to the full EP preview stream below. The EP is out on February 6th on BNR.

Read our interview with Boys Noize where he mentioned Handbraekes back in November.

We’ve got (2) names you need to get used to this year. Ex-member of  Light Year now called Jensen Interceptor just remixed the ex-member of Hey Today! now called Nickel. That’s all I’m personally gonna tell you about Jensen because the bio on his facebook is more than amazing and needs to be read:

INCREDIBLE CAPTION + FREE DOWNLOAD after the jump!

The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT (Grand Techno) classic hand-built in the United Kingdom Of Sydney by Jensen Productions between 1985 till present. The Interceptor or Jensen or Ji as he is known by his piers is the hairiest man in techno today & no doubt his spastic dance rhythms will certainly raise yours (pubic hair that is). In his earlier years he was a mechanic, engineer, sticker collector & bitchumen sniffer. However Jensen is best known for being one of the four corners behind Turbo Records newest acid techno signing AUSTRALIA & also for being one half of the suedo kitch dance funk force known as Light Year. In a recent interview Jensen was asked what he would like to achieve with his music and djing and his reply was simple “to turn gay people straight and straight people gay”. The Jensen sound can be described as minimal according to maximalists and maximal according to minimalist, either way its clear the Interceptor has found the perfect balance of vibe needed to please any crowd.

*Check out the new sound below and grab Light Year & The Finger Prince’s FREE remix of the Alex/Erol favorite ‘Lemonade.’

Nickel – ZYGZM (Jensen Interceptor Remix) by Jensen Interceptor

Lemonade (Light Year & The Finger Prince Remix) by Light Year

Been too busy clocking in and out at work to soak up all the MP3s on Stoney Roads this week?

Never fear as we kick off a weekly MP3 wrap on everything that went down (or posted up in this case), from Erol Alkan and Boys Noize, Monkey Safari, Flosstradamus, Zombie Disco Squad, The 2 Bears and more!

Erol Alkan & Boys Noize – Lemonade (Light Year & The Finger Prince Remix)

Sydney doubles down as The Finger Prince and Light Year toss ‘wuss’ aside for their remix of Erol Alkan & Boys Noizes rampant track “Lemonade”.

Monkey Safari – Fat Papa (Ditto Farley Remix)

Ditto Farley, who i suspect is New Zealand resident Daniel Farley has put an edit out of Monkey Safari‘s new EP single ‘Fat Papa’.

Flosstradumus – Total Recall

Don’t know what trap-house-trance is? Do know who Flosstradamus are? Well not a bad trade off for the freebie “Total Recall” from the Fools Gold-ers.

Zombie Disco Squad – We Should Bang feat. Spoek Mathambo (Zombie Disco Squad Bang My Organ Mix)

Zombie Disco Squad aka Nathaniel Self and Lucas Hunter are trying their trade at some rolled out vocal house with the help of Spoek Mathambo.

The 2 Bears – Work (Frogs in Socks Promo Remix)

The ‘Work’ remix by Frog in Socks rolls out like a cheeky trip to the woods with Yogi Bear. Some simple prods, a fair bit of shuffle through precussion and the signature style vocals of 2 Bears makes for deliciousness.

Zeds Dead – In The Beginning

By pulling from a vast array of source material (Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, The Moody Blues, Sublime), and molding it into their unique brand of dance-floor classics, They have established themselves as a dominant force in EDM circles and have received recognition and praise from tastemakers worldwide. 

Tyson – Die On The Dancefloor [Round Table Knights Remix]

Round Table Knights add an unusually very Aussie indie feel with a remix of London resident Tyson.

SBTRKT – Blue Cassette (Friendly Fires cover, Live on BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge)

Those lucky enough to catch BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge on the 6th would have been treated to SBTRKT(aka Aaron Jerome) covering Friendly Fires “Blue Cassette”.

Whats in store for next week?

Happy Friday! We’ve made through yet another week and I have another GDD™ Morning Update to close it out. Today’s news features Electronic Music Grammy nominations w/ Skrillex, the Future Music Festival lineup, Boys Noize & Mr. Oizo start Handbrakes, The Chemical Brothers’ live DVD, & LCD Soundsystem’s final show documentary. See it all after the jump.

Electronic Music Grammy Nominations w/ Skrillex For ‘Best New Artist’

Despite the chorus of disbelievers, there’s no doubt 2011 has been good to Skrillex. Now the bro-step/complextro/’insert name here’ superstar has bagged himself a Grammy nomination in the ‘Best New Artist’ category.

Skrillex is up against Bon Iver, Nicki Minaj, The Band Perry and J. Cole – a mixed bunch if ever there was one. Usually dance music is neatly confined to the Best Dance Recording category, so this is a significant moment if you count these kinds of moments as significant.

Skrillex does also appear in the Best Dance Recordings nominees, alongside fellow top-earners like David Guetta and Deadmau5. Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend is in there breaking up the boys’ club as well.

Arguably the standout of all the dance/electronic nominees is Australia’s own Cut Copy, whose very fine album Zonoscope has scored a nod. The accolade comes after a strong year for the band on the Stateside circuit. What a Grammys it would be if the boys from Melbourne muscled out the competition!

GRAMMYS DANCE NOMINEES

Raise Your Weapon – Deadmau5 & Greta Svabo Bech

LCD Soundsytem Final Show Documentary to Screen at Sundance

Photo by Alexander Stein

The 2012 Sundance Film Festival is going to be heavy on James Murphy. As reported yesterday, the LCD Soundsystem frontman will appear in a feature film called The Comedy, which will screen at the fest. And now, the Arcade Fire fan Twitter Arcade Fire Tube points out that Sundance has announced that the festival will screen the documentary SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS, which chronicles the final LCD Soundsystem show at Madison Square Garden this April.

The Sundance site’s description of the film reads: “A documentary that follows LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy over a crucial 48-hour period, from the day of their final gig at Madison Square Garden to the morning after, the official end of one of the best live bands in the world.” It’s part of Sundance’s non-competition “Spotlight” category.

The documentary was directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. As Arcade Fire Tube points out, the film’s title comes from Arcade Fire’s Win Butler.
