Don't Fear the Holy Ghost

Holy Ghost! did a pretty cool remix of the new Van She cover of Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper. Unlike the original, which has a lot of layered synth sounds, the Holy Ghost version is pretty minimal. This is what Alex from Holy Ghost had to say about it on Myspace.

While we were on tour last spring we got asked to do a remix of Van She's cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper." (A remix of a cover, how post-modern.) The deadline was really tight though, so the only way we could do it is if we rented a studio in Paris and worked there for the 5 days we had off. Luckily, we found a place we could work on such short notice.

We didn't have ANY of our usual gear with us (let alone our hard drive!), so we built this thing on foreign equipment: old ludwig kit, roland jupiter 6, fender bass, roland sbf 325 stereo flanger, percussion, old upright piano, and of course, a space echo.

In the end it worked out....I think.

Happy Holidays Y'all,

Alex

Pretty cool I think!

The D.A.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to see a show by The D.A. From Elpaso Texas. They're a five part band that includes keys, bass, guitar, drums, and most notably a trumpet player that uses all sorts of weird effects. They've got a great sound, and great lyrics that give the sonic landscapes they create some substance. They just got done with a midwest tour. They recorded their newest E.P. at a little place called the Sonic Ranch. When I say little Im joking, because it's probably the largest recording complex in the United States. The lucky bastards were able to record on the same Neve console that Motown records and later, Madonna used. Check out their E.P! It's a pretty awesome Post Punk/Dance Rock record, and I haven't stopped listening to it. They have been gracious enough to post the entire E.P. for our readers to download!
Apologies to Cesar for taking so long to get this review up!

New AC Slater!!

AC Slater samples an infamous Henry Rollins monologue making fun of electronic music that you can watch here, and turns it in to a heavy bass track that will crush the dancefloor. Pretty hilarious how he throws it back in Henry's face! "Jungle trance hip hop, fuckin shit music" Haha

Damaged Good$

Damaged Good$ popped on my radar about a year ago after I heard about their high energy performances. Based in the Dallas area, they have received international recognition for their work in a very short amount of time. Great production and funny pop culture references make their new single "The Great Escape" off their new project $pread Love Not Germs a good listen. As a bonus, we're also throwing in the A1 Bassline remix of "Yo Righteous."
