Will N.Y.’s Moby ever not be relevant? His acute sense for great pop, masterful techno, skillful songwriting, and his willingness to take risks is what keeps the man moving forward, this, eighteen years after his initial release ‘Mobility’. Mute will release Moby’s eighth studio album, ‘Last Night’ this March 31st, following the recently released first single ‘Alice’ and the just-released second single ‘Disco Lies’.
The grading curve is very high on ‘Last Night’, and picking singles must have been quite the task with such a solid record. ‘Alice’ is set apart with vocals from UK reggae artist Aynzli Jones and rappers S.O.Simple & Smokey of Nigerian rap group 419 Squad—the results approach a classic trip hop sound. While the ‘Alice’ single gets additional remix work, most notably by our hero, NY’s versitle EDM kingpin and Trouble&Bass‘r, Drop The Lime (a.k.a. Curses!).
I know you fools have been saying you’re ready, but really, are you? Can you ever really fully prepare yourself for the madness that is about to take place at the Mezzanine this Friday?! I think not! That’s right, Paris Terror Club comes to town for the biggest Robot Rock to date!
Behold the line up to end all line ups! Trouble & Bass prodigal son Curses! a.k.a. Drop The Lime, Institubes ambassadors Surkin, Para One, & Orgasmic, Walter Meego & the Bay Area’s favorite dance rockers, VHS or Beta.
I know you’re drooling right now just reading this post, trying to plan out what you’re gonna wear. But here, let me tantalize you some more with a few of the jams that will definitely have your ears ringing well into next week.
HEALTH has been kicking L.A.’s underground scene in the balls for more than little while now. In the latter half of July we told you about a rumor that Curses! (a.k.a. Drop The Lime) was remixing the Los Angeles noise-making quartet and today it has been confirmed! Listen to the prophesied track in all it’s glory.
HEALTH are soon to embark on a 40 day US tour, be sure to watch out for them when they come to wreck shop on your town. Here are some more HEALTH goodies which we couldn’t help but post, including the now blogfamous CFCF remix of Triceratops which give me nightmares, but in a good way.
Lovepump Unlimited released a HEALTH/Crystal Castles 7 inch split which you can get here. Older HEALTH releases can be found at http://www.dntrecords.com/. More noisy tracks on HEALTH’s myspace.
EDIT: Institubes’ label manager asked us to take down ‘Hungry 4 Love’ because they are releasing it next month. Until then, visit Curses! myspace to stream more tracks!
