I recently won a casual ping pong tournament over the two fins from house-music-duo Renaissance Man. As you all know a renaissance man is some sort of universal super-pro who excels in nearly all professional fields. Much more than at the ping pong table Ville and Martti deliver the promise of universal mastery producing cutting-edge house music and spinning dance-records around the world. I passed on one of my new tracks for them to lay their polymath hands on it.
The outcome is quite four-to-the-floor and makes me sound like an old female soul-singer. Play it loud and don’t hesitate to combine with a synthetic drug of your choice:
This week’s Broken Social Scene ‘All to All’ remix available now! For the second Monday in a row Broken Social Scene is teaming with a guest DJ for a remix of Forgiveness Rock Record track “All To All.”
DJ Mom Jeans, a.k.a Danny Masterson, has been DJing since the late ’90s, spinning everything from ’80s hair metal to blog house for crowds at Los Angeles clubs, Lollapalooza and all points in between. He also happens to go by the name of Danny Masterson and used to star in a certain series called ‘That 70s Show’… check out his take on ‘All to All’ on the BSS website.
Barbara Panther’s new EP, Empire, a collaboration with house legend Matthew Herbert, will blow you away… composed of unique soundscapes combining Herbert’s signature production style and Panther’s unforgettable voice, the EP blends musical influences and crosses boundaries of musical style innovatively and effortlessly.
Rwandan born Panther grew up in Brussels, Belgium, before moving to Berlin five years ago, where she has now made her home. The singer explains: “I’m intrigued by the universe, water and the moon, and their interdependencies which you can notice on the record’s sound and theme”. In addition to her strong spiritual interest in Mother Earth, Panther touches on themes such as existence in ‘Moonlight People’ and ‘O´Captain’, ethnicity on ‘Rise Up’ and religion on her first single ‘Empire’.
See the FACT magazine feature here for more on the new release, and a stream of the full EP…
