Loius La Roché

French house music has always been a favourite of mine, and 17-year old uk resident Louis La Roché intent is to bring it back. His newly released ep is available as a free download and I recommend you check it out. One recommendation from the album is the track "Peach".
Head over to Discodust.blogspot.com and get the ep plus additional downloads.

Beardy Man at Roskilde Festival 08

So I'm of to Roskilde Festival and I'm really disappointed by the music this year - the musical choice is really weak compared to other years. Usually my friends and I get hyped about the different bands we're going to see, but this year its sort of a *meh* feeling. My list of bands that are watch-worthy this year are the following:

BEARDYMAN (UK) , BOY BETTER KNOW (UK), CASIOKIDS (N), THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS (UK), DAN DEACON (US), DJ BANEL (DK), DSL (FR), FAMILJEN (S), FANFARA TIRANA (ALB), FEDDE LE GRAND & FRIENDS (NL), FREDNUKES (DK), GNARLS BARKLEY (US), GOSSIP (US), JAY-Z (US), KENGE KENGE (KEN), PRESS PLAY ON TAPE (DK), RADIOHEAD (UK), THE STREETS (UK)

But amongst all these bands there's only one name I'm really really looking forward to. That's Beardyman a human beatboxer. After watching some of his videos online I'm awestruck by this man's talent. And I can't wait to see him perform.

Here's a sample of some of his shenanigans:



Here's a link to an interview he did with Tim Shaw on UK radio. Just listen to it - its fucking amazing the sounds Beardyman can produce with his voice, especially the way he's able to reverse any word and scratch it. Wait until 2.17 minutes into the interview to hear this.

I want to point you in the direction of this manga/anime-inspired music video. It's really slick and the music is good.

SkreemR proclaims they're:
" The World's Greatest Mp3 Search Engine"
I'll take their word for it, because SkreemR's search engine was able to provide me of two mp3's of me trying a pretty obscure song search. Here's a link to the "about-section" of the site, so you can check their credentials.
