I just discovered Deux Helix today. (Thank you gmail.) Pretty nifty stuff, bear past the first few minutes as I feel like all these songs hit their stride midway.
I’m not usually big on Beth Ditto’s vocals but I fell hard for this video, something beautifully wrong and shot so well. This clip is part of a longer film by Saam Faramand. If you have not seen Part of the Weekend Never Dies, another work he did- please follow the link.
An avid reader may have noticed the new Fake Blood remix of Hot Chip is listed in the tracklisting for the NYE Jack Beats mix. For some this is not terribly exciting, one more remix of dependable indy pop by dependable blog house. For others this is the high point of the week as there are certain names you search for over and over again, waiting for a new remix to come out. Some of the hottest artists in the world have only released five mp3’s but get blogged about constantly and feverishly. Hot Chip- Touch Too Much (Fake Blood Remix)
Fake Blood is one of these names. And like most of the prolific producers and DJ’s there are a lot of other names involved. Theo Keating in the man behind the music but you may remember him from his slight commercial success as one half of The Wiseguys an eclectic British hiphop duo that released two songs as commercials for Mitsubishi and Budweiser. Quickly forgotten but worth listening to, especially for any Fatboy Slim/Big Beat fans still left. The Wiseguys- Start the Commotion The Wiseguys- Ohh La La
FBM is a blog written about all kinds of music. We often focus on small acts and DJs, promoting and loving what we consider to be the very best in Indy, Dubstep, House and far beyond. We are a collective of (currently) unpaid kids based out of Portland Oregon. We urge you to support this music and hence we will provide the the most accurate show listings and heads up on things to do in Portland.
This is all those things but more then anything else this is about community, about having as many authors contributing as much as possible and promoting all of our friends. I believe in politics as still being important and I believe in this generation still being relevant. Our culture is all we have.
Almost all of this music is sent to us by the creator and is entirely legal to download, if something slips through the cracks and you are the owner of a soundfile you wish removed, simply email us. Thank you.
