Listening to Yeah, Techno, Paul Chambers’s new EP, one cannot help but doubt the fact that this is his first major release. Following internet hype in 2009, Chambers’s potential was finally realized and plans for his first album were made. The title track, alone, drew thousands of fans and now, with its release on May 30th, the techno musician is facing his biggest crowds yet. We talked to Chambers about his new album and reaction to all of his recent success.
Found this interesting trailer of an upcoming documentary about the Electro scene in Europe. This is so much better that “Electro Wars”. Not sure about the release date, but please do checkout the trailer below.

Our top 2 favourite DJs/producers latest collaboration. They are back with two new tracks. Avalanche and Lemonade. Both tracks are really sounding good, with Avlanache being a techy electro twister, and Lemonade sounding like an old school Boys Noize track. It looks to like these two have done it again.

Erol delivered a new mix on BBC radio 6, and the general consensus seems to be: it’s pretty rad. We got some delicious gems in there like a Siriusmo remix of ‘Heavy Cross’ as well as the very much anticipated Gonzales’ take on ‘Waves’. The tracklist below is a shameless copy-paste from the Erol forums, so don’t hold us to it. Enjoy!
Fan Death are the best new disco act we’ve heard. The best and the most authentic-sounding: they’re not nu rave, or an indie-dance band, or a guitar group using a funk undercarriage. They’ve got the slightly wonky strings, elegant mid-tempo rhythms and female vocals of disco, recalling the music’s golden age – ie. between the release of Donna Summer’s Love To Love You Baby in 1975 and the ritual burning of disco records in that baseball stadium in Chicago that signalled the death of disco in 1979. They’re a girl duo who recognise that all the best disco records were sung by women, and they sing in the blank, distracted manner of all the finest disco divas. Really, they hardly sing at all – they open their mouths and pout and this spookily, exquisitely blank, almost Teutonic sound comes out. And, again like all the finest disco acts, they’re anonymous, a blank canvas on which listeners can project their ultimate fantasies of romance and dancing, their wistful feelings of longing and regret. They make us think about the allure of sorrow, the sadness of the glamorous life and what the Pet Shop Boys used to call “the void at the heart of dance culture”.
They’re an art project, using mystery and some amateur myth-making to cover their artful tracks because disco at its best wasn’t knowing, it was directly emotional. We know very little about them; we’re not even sure who they are or what they’re called. They’ve taken the name Fan Death from an old South Korean fear that electric fans, if left running overnight in a closed room, can cause death by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia. They say they’re from Grey Gardens, but there’s no such place: it’s the title of a 1975 documentary about two women who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit 28-room mansion in the wealthy Georgica Pond neighbourhood of New York. A bit of detective work reveals that they’re actually from Vancouver in Canada. Their debut single, Veronica’s Veil, refers to the Catholic relic which, according to legend, belonged to Veronica from Jerusalem who encountered Jesus on the way to Calvary and wiped the sweat from his face, leaving an imprint of his image on her veil.
Some actual, proper facts: Fan Death are the protégés of glam-trash DJ Erol Alkan, who on his remix gives the single extra electroclash-y oomph on the handclaps and bass. They’re adored by superstar tastemaker Diplo. They’re the subjects of blog hysteria. And in a press release they declare their intention to be to “make music that recalls the greatest era of electronic pop: Depeche Mode, OMD, New Order, Human League, Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys. Great songs that happened to be electronic, not soulless, repetitious club music that seems to dominate these days.” Meanwhile, that graceful figure sashaying across the dancefloor gazing forlornly at his reflection in the mirrorball is John Travolta as Tony Manero.
New track has trickled out from lady disco duo Fan Death. “Cannibal” is business as usual for Fan Death, all disco strings and melodrama while Dandi Wind’s breathy vocal struts straight into the center of the track, although if you listen carefully, you can also hear Marta in there too. Fan Death’s Myspace Page claims that they’re working on an EP, a full length, and videos for all of the faithful who’ve been staving off starvation witth the singles the girls have let dribble from their lips, but you’ll have to do with “Cannibal” until the real meal comes.
Here’s what we’ve in store for you for the month of November. A preview of our upcoming mix!
Full mix will be up soon. Meanwhile, just enjoy this short version! See ya guys soon.
P.S: We’re heading Mexico very soon.

Clash The Disko Kids (CTDK) is a Singapore electro-techno-house duo consisting of DJ Kurt and Weili. Together as Clash The Disko Kids, they have been formidable on the dance floors as Singapore’s most popular electronic group. With over 15 years turntable experience between them, and a blatant disregard for music genres, they are known for incorporating a strong rock influence into their sets and image.
A CTDK set is like one big lesson in the history of electronic music in one night! You can only expect a mural of sounds when CTDK go behind the decks. Out of nowhere, the duo seemed to have emerged out of the concrete jungle and reinvented the clubbing landscape in Singapore, putting their own sick twists towards music such as adding samples, accapellas and sound fx to their DJ sets and just about everything around it to put smiles on the clubbers’ faces and hands in the air. The result is something really quite exciting and definitely very refreshing!
