one new song, in depth

No Comments »

A single song can make you. You no longer need an album to back up your name, just four bonkers remixes and a swaggery self produced cut or two. In a demanding dance music scene where we want progression, depth and intelligence we also only demand one new song at a time. The album is not dead but I am not holding my breathe either.

Here we have a new group from Paris called Art Whiplash releasing, “Party, sex and bullshit”. A new song to take seriously, be you a DJ or a selective fan.

ART WHIPLASH – Party, sex and bullshit

The original buzzes like SebastiAn, builds like Justice and chants like the anthem from Party Monster before it commits suicide near the end and folds in on itself to get real artsy. Either genius or crazy it ends the track sounding like Mylo and Air are having a real peaceful tea party as the sun comes down. Somewhere with rolling hills where the warm air bleeps with the soft light of fireflies.

ARTWHIPLASH – Party, sex and bullshit (The toxic avenger remix)

This takes the artsy aspect farther, removing words for the sake of more Edbanger-esque bangs and most likely being the easiest version to work into a set.

More ethereal and playful, a more “Australian” take on electro if you will, with the same nice quiet ending after all the bleeps have faded.

Lately Sébastien Tellier has been the source of a lot of blog love due to the critical (and uncritical) obsession many of us have with Boys Noize who just remixed his song L’amour et la Violence . Tellier is equally fascinating as the talented singer and multi-instrumentalist who sings in three languages and makes beautiful moody music that’s deceptively hard to define. He opened for Air and his newest album was produced by one half of Daft Punk. How is that for credentials?
