Miss Kittin & The Hacker: ‘PPPO’ & ‘Party In My Head’ from sophmore record ‘Two’ / Mix

misskittinhacker Miss Kittin & The Hacker: PPPO & Party In My Head from sophmore record Two / Mix

Mark your calendars for what will be a joyous day, when the forces of Frenchmen (and Frenchwoman) The Hacker and Miss Kittin come together once more! Collectively known as Miss Kittin & The Hacker, the pair have released EPs periodically since 1996, however it was their 2001 full length, the descriptively titled, ‘First Album’ that sank and arrow into the hearts of so many techno fans! That sexy techno record (which some even called ‘electroclash’, but, hey, what’s in a name anyway?), released on DJ Hell’s reputable International DJ Gigolos, held us over for years nearly a decade, with a support from new EP releases over the years, but now, yes now, we will finally have a second full length to adore! Following the trend, the new record is titled ‘Two’ and we can expect it to be on sale April 20th! This record will be released on Kittin’s own fledgling imprint Nobody’s Bizzness (which also released her solo ‘Batbox’ last year, blog ‘d here). Yay! Here’s a sample of what’s in store!

Youv’e just heard ‘PPPO’ the first single from the record. Other notable excursions on the record are a cover of Elvis Presley’s ‘Suspicous Minds’. Yes, you heard right, bloody Elvis freakin’ Presley meets techno diva. Holy smokes. Now while that’s novel and good, this track other track gets stuck in my head a little more. Let’s party, my skull or yours:

Miss Kittin to release ‘BatBox’ LP / ‘Kittin is High’ remixes from Black Labelle & JoJo De Freq / The Hacker, Golden Boy & Felix Da Housecat/Staitc Revenger favorites

Parisian electronic music diva, Miss Kittin, will release her second solo record titled ‘BatBox’ on the Nobody’s Bizzness label early this year. This anticipated record follows her 2004 solo debut, ‘I COM’.

Miss Kittin has always had a gothic touch and ‘Batbox’ might be the darkest record yet, but the record still has a surprising undercurrent of optimism. The artist explains ‘Batbox’ like this:

BatBox is a redemption. Let the bats in my head fly out. I was saying goodbye to old ghosts, allowing light to reduce the shadows and fight the dark. It was like opening a window on new perceptions, not with my eyes but through intuition, just like bats and cats do.

‘BatBox’ has quickly become one of my favorite records for the new year and I don’t see it leaving rotation any time soon. Standout tracks include the first single, ‘Kittin is High’ which also carries a 1-2 punch of fantastic B-Sides by Norwegian remixer Black Labelle and East London doll JoJo De Freq. I’ve also found the tune, ‘Barefoot Tonight’ utterly infectious.

MP3: Miss Kittin – Barefoot Tonight

Of course before, inbetween and always, Miss Kittin has recorded alongside verious partner including The Hacker, Golden Boy, and Felix Da Housecat, as well as releasing several DJ mixes albums—many of which you can familiarize yourself with at Amazon.

The aforementioned collaborations have resulted in some of my very favorite records. Here’s the cream to fall in love with, if you haven’t already had the pleasure:

MP3: Felix Da Housecat – Silver Screen Shower Scene (feat. Miss Kittin) (Static Revenger Mix)

The Felix Da Housecat track above was just right—but I hit you with the remix that makes things just a little crazier—it comes from one of Felix’s peers, North Hollywood’s disco house veteran Static Revenger. That track resides on the ‘Madame Hollywood / Shower Scene’ remix EP alongside remixes from Adult., Ladytron, Jacques Lu Cont and others. It came out in 2002 and it’s OOP (out of print) but worth seeking out (just like the rest of the lot above, wink wink).

And, guess what, even more Miss Kittin in the archives.

Black girls.

misskittin Black girls.

Seems like everyone’s making up genres these days. New Rave, New Grave, Rip Hop, nu-doodoo-metal. MY TURN! ‘Black Girl’. Female vocals on top of dark-electro. Not a hint of indie. Straight up electro for that ass.

Who would fall into the ‘Black Girls’ genre, you ask?
Let me lace you with some tracks.

MP3:  Miss Kittin – Requiem For A Hit (featuring L.A. Williams)

It’s still Tuesday & it’s still Wavey: Gina X Performance.

gina x Its still Tuesday & its still Wavey: Gina X Performance.

I DJ at an 80’s club sometimes. The opening slot. When only the bartenders, the regulars, true eighties heads & people who don’t want to pay the cover are there. Most people hate the opening slot, but I like it. I have the pleasure of spinning some of the more obscure (ahem, better) stuff from back in the day, without someone requesting Depeche Mode or Morrissey every 5 minutes.

Gina X Performance is one of those artists that fall into the obscure category. If someone would’ve have told me that this album was made this year, I’d have no reason to doubt it. GXP are considered more disco/electro, but the track ‘Be a Boy’ is bathed in new wavey-ness. Artists probably influenced by Gina X include Miss Kittin, Revl9n & Peaches.

Here’s three tracks from their 1979 ‘Nice Mover’ album.
Gina X Performance – Nice Mover
Gina X Perfomance – Be A Boy
Gina X Performance – No G.D.M.

The whole album from the first track to the final is gold. Gigolo Records re-released No G.D.M. on 12 inch. You can go pick that up here Its still Tuesday & its still Wavey: Gina X Performance..
