Italian born Phonat is a rising star on the trash electro scene. His new track learn to recycle is an excellent trash track. There seem to be a lot of good trash electro out right now, see for example our Heartsrevolution posts to find out more. Phonat has also remixed Fire for fellow countrymen The Young Punx.

The French based David Greiller's College has released a new record "The Energy Store" on Valerie. I can only give this record a strong buy recommendation. This have to be one if this years best pop singles. I really heart the spohisticated sound and the catchy basslines. However, I am sorry for the low bitrate on the file.

Skateboard video music part 2
What´s So Strange About Me? off Every Day Is Like A New Beginning by Eight Dayz was featured as the opening scene music in the classic Santa Cruz video Wheels Of Fire back in 1987. Fun facts are that Eight Dayz had German Santa Cruz prorider Claus Grabke singing the vocals and that this album first came out in 1989 on German New Wind Records which only had 3 releases, Every Day Is Like A New Beginning being their last. Those were the Dayz.

Falke started out as a bass player around 1995 before starting producing records in the late 90's. His first record, a collaboration with Alan Braxe named Intro, was released in 2000 on Vulture Music. The pair would form a very productive partnership up until 2008 when they went separate ways.
Falke has also collaborated with France-based German producer, DJ and close friend Kris Menace, as well as having released records on Menace's label Work It Baby.

Come On Miss Broadway
Let's start back in 1976 when french guys had never heard about house, and Cerrone was their leader. The same bloody Cerrone that on his album covers looked like he had had a plate of coke for breakfeast and half of it got stuck on his moustache. About 25 plus some years later, Seven 30 picked up some french disco, added scratches of Flavor Flav vocals and made some real dope shit.
Seven 30, by the way, are the legendary Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz from the Bronx. Put your sawed-off shotguns in the air!

Not many know that The Whitest Boy Alive started in Berlin, Germany as an electronic dance music project in 2003. It has since then developed into a band without any programmed elements and is nowadays known as that band/song Fred Falke turned into huge hit. However, here is what I consider their best production - the original Inflation on Kitsuné Music.

This post is late, but WTF are they eating in Denmark? The Danish switch blade knives is so good. The Danish rockers from The Fashion meets the more electro oriented Tiger Baby and they seem to have a hell of a party going on. This rework would make entire indie and hipster families to throw their t-shirts and step up on the tables or hang in the lamps.

Never Miss A Beat
As hard as we try to stay away from the everyday blog hype, sometimes you just have to give in. Personally, I kind of never paid attention to the mega-hyped Cut Copy, partly due to the unavoidable fact that there is a strong asymmetry between the music tastes of the general internet mass and mine. However, this exact Kaiser Chiefs remix appeared a couple of weeks ago on Discodust and is absolutely bananas. Straight no chaser indie reworked into a hipsterish dance floor banger with an evident italo disco influence. Lyrics dedicated to our buddies at Hanken in Helsinki.
