Jamaica

The French electro-pop duo Jamaica hits Bruges this saturday. If you're into happy guitar hooks, electronic drum patterns and all-around catchyness you should put this show in your agenda. One for the hipster quiznight: Jamaica's first album was produced by Xavier de Rosnay of Justice (the one without the giant moustache that is).

Jamaica plays the Ma/Z on saturday 27 at 22:00. They sound like this:

Walkers pt. II

For those who still have doubts about how amazing The Walking Death really is (both comic and series)... The fine people from the Scream Awards thought so to and awarded the comic with the Best Comic Book or Graphic Novel-prize!

And here, just for you, the official trailer of The Walking Death Series. Enjoy!

Bryan Ferry - Shameless (Mylo Remix)

I'm having a lot of time on my hands these days, so spending it on the search for good music is one way of not boring myself to death. I found this awesome Mylo remix of Bryan Ferry in an earlybird internet search (9.10 A.M.). Mylo hasn't really produced anything worthwhile since his album Destroy Rock'n'Roll, but this elektropop take on Roxy Music style-icon Ferry is a groovy winner. I don't think I will be needing more music to get trough the day.

If you like pretty girls, you might also want to check out the exposition of Roxy Music cover-art that is currently running in the shop Renaissance (Nationalestraat, Antwerp). It will look like this:

Hipster Hitler

This ironically dressed, fixie riding führer must be one of the funniest things on the web. Creators JC and APK turn Adolf in a 2010 hipster. He has a pitchfork-obsessed taste in obscure indy bands (like Arcade Führer), wears skinny jeans and organizes organic pic-nics.

Check out their comics here and get your own "I love juice", "Death Camp for Cuty" and "Eastside, Westside, Genocide" shirts

Kris Verdonck / A Two Dogs Company – K, A Society

Kris Verdonck’s K, A Society must surely be one of the most exciting installations and/or performances of the past year. Previous work has learned that his ability to create scenes and atmospheres that often go beyond the surreal, is truly inspiring and knows no borders. With this installation he, yet again, proves us his skill as he takes his spectators on a guided tour of a building where his works are displayed at different locations.

Time, space, reality, suicide and society are just some of the notions Verdonck investigates, as he takes us an a trip through different sceneries. His playfulness with the opposing concepts of reality and fiction, shows through extensive use of the medium film. The innovative way he uses space and installs his works in the rooms is to be admired: through dialogue with the surrounding areas, his installations gain spherical qualities, both in the positive as in the negative space.

As Verdonck asks his spectators at the start of the performance that he or she “mustn’t in any way seek meaning or coherence between the different installations”, the spectator gets pushed in more or less the same position of a little child that is asked not to eat the cookies that are standing right in front of him, on the top shelf of the cupboard; the spectators are stimulated to reflect on what he or she is seeing, just like the little kid is stimulated to get those cookies that have come right out of the oven, infusing the living room with the scent of chocolate and cinnamon. It is one of the playful paradoxes that mark Kris Verdonck’s way of thinking and give K, A Society a humorous and spontaneous touch.

An absolute must-see! K, A Society plays from the 26^th of February until the 6^th of March 2011 at Performatik festival in Kaaitheater, Brussels. More information over here: http://www.atwodogscompany.org

Wavves

Wavves - "Post Acid" from GreenLabelSound on Vimeo.


Little hint for those who are looking for some fun music to dance the shitty autumn rain away: Check out
Wavves! They played the AB last Friday and were totally on fire. Frontman Nathan Williams has had an awful live reputation, after a really shitty performance in Barcelona, 2009. Drugs and alcohol caused him to insult both the public, the soundman and his drummer (who ran away in anger after a while). But now Wavves are back and killing it live. Their catchy mix of surf and punk (labeled "Shitgaze" by Pitchfork) made the crowd go berserk. I almost forgot how much I've liked their album since it came out last summer, but after the show they're back in high rotation on my Ipod.

Also, I found a free download of the track on Greenlabelsound.

Digitalism - Blitz

Probably old news for some of you, but 2008 scenestars Digitalism are working hard on the follow-up of their highly acclaimed debut album. Blitz is the first single and features some great Digitalism trademark sounds. Epic arpeggiated synths, a stomping kick and a rocky undertone. But I'm especially psyched about the unbelievably awesome Harvard Bass remix. Drop at 4.15 is so filthy it should be restricted 18+.

Bonus: Kitsuné was so kind to share this neat Moonlight Matters remix for free!

Walking Dead has been one of my favourite comics for quite a while now. Its a page-turning story made by Robert Kirkman about a zombie-outbreak, and the few people left trying to make it another day without dying (or something like that). A comic with a very human take on the world of zombies. And now Frank Darabont has turned this really awesome ongoing comic into a tv-series just as amazing as the comic itself! After watching the first episode I'm completely befuddled. If there ever will be a zombie outbreak, this is what's going to happen.

BLU

Blu is an Italian street artist. He paints on huge walls in big cities like Berlin or Milano.

His work is an unique combination between street-art and video-art. In addition to wall-paintings Blu also makes films where his paintings interact with their environment, and make it part of the artwork.

Tony Senghore - sitzkrieg

Word on the streets that Tony Senghore's new EP will drop very soon, which is very good news, since it will contain Sitzkrieg! Completely hyped flat last fall, when Brodinski included it in his Mystery Mix, everyone kind of forgot about the track by now. But now sitzkrieg is back, with it's uncompromising bleepy sound, a dancefloor weapon of choice.

Our Broken Garden - Garden Grow

This definitely blew me away yesterday: Our Broken Garden. They played a show in the Ma/Z (Bruges) together with The Acorn (who were the reason for me to come down, but they appeared to be pretty mediocre). Efterklang pianist Anna Bronsted really is a great singer (and so cute all the boys wanted to take her home).  Add to this a Danish viking on bass who played his slowcore grooves like they were shredmetal riffs, and the picture is complete.

If you're into stuff like The Knife, you should check them out for sure.

On Air!!!

We are officially launched right now. Feel free to drop by at the marquee in Bruges tonight, were local noisedudes MAZE and the not so mysterious Black Cocks of Death will be hosting a tiny, tiny free party.

Btw, this lazerstuff will never get boring.

Keith & Supabeatz - Higher Place E.P.

I've been planning to post about these guys for some time. Keith & Supabeatz are (in my humble opinion) Italia's most underestimated producers, spitting out fresh, perfectly produced tracks that keep surprising me. Ever since Supabeatz released his "Seven" mixtape with seven new tracks/remixes, I was nearly exploding with excitement every time I checked beatport (which is every day). Last week they finally released their Higher Place EP, which made me childishly happy. 'Stuffed' is absolutely the best track of the four, with its tech-house feel and groovy bassline.
