Follow the Money, Chase the Vampire

Vampire Weekend are as innocent as a spoiled child.

Perhaps Godard is not a poseur, but he is certainly the beloved reference of poseurs.
Future is for tourists, Futura for slogans.

White Sky? Of course, the one that taught us greed in the eighties was not Gordon Gekko but Chevy Chase.

Smetnjakovih 12: Marquetz

2010-02-27T16:08:00.000+01:00

Marquetz, primorski elektro nadobudnež, je pustni razblodnji prispeval neprimerno več kot le čvrsto protiutež emo disku na velikem. Pazite nanj.

1. Kdo si, kaj počneš in kje to počneš?
Sem Marquetz, živim in šraufam (ustvarjam muziko) v Kopru.

2. Povzami svoj zvok v 12 besedah.
Agresiven, umazan, romantičen, nabildan, neke vrste retro-futurističen treš disco funk electro.

3. Kateri glasbeniki/glasbeni akti so najbolj izoblikovali tvoj glasbeni okus?
Prodigy še iz mladosti, v bistvu prvi stik z elektronsko glasbo. Mr. Oizo, Vitalic, Kavinsky, David Carretta, Bloody Beetroots, Shadow Dancer, SebastiAn, moj frendić Jernej Cengle aka Selecto, pa še ful drugih več al manj francoskih producentov. Zahvale gredo tudi g. Borgie-ju in njegovi založbi Adriatiko Rec.

4. Modra ali rdeča tableta?
Modro-rdeča kapsula v trikotni obliki zelene barve. :)

5. Katere so tvoje super moči?
Lahko imam eno oko odprto in drugo zaprto, ampak zgleda čisto drugače kot navadno mižanje na eno oko, tega ne zna vsak, zato mislim da je to moja super moč :D

6. Kateri komad bi moral biti na vsakem CD-ju, posnetem za ljubljeno entiteto?
David Carretta - Lovely toy (U'r my lovely toy, I am your lovely boy) .

7. Kdo je DJ Umek?
Kdo? :)

8. Zakaj je okrogla pica vedno v kvadratni škatli?
Ne mi omenjat pice…lačen!!! Ne vem, zakaj…verjetno je lažje nardit kvadratno škatlo in okroglo pico kot pa obratno.

9. Kaj počnete, ko se ne ukvarjaš z glasbo?
Glasba je vedno nekje okoli mene, to pomeni, da se vedno ukvarjam z glasbo.

10. Kdo je vaš najljubši Game Over član?
Bruno? :)

11. Trenutni naj 4 za na plesišče in naj 3 za v avto?
Za plesišče:
Umek – Lanicor (The Good Guys - milom ili silom Remix)
Mr. Oizo – Positiff
The Bloody Beetroots – Warp 1.9
The Toxic Avenger – Escape (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Za v avto:
Moby – Mistake (Yuksek Remix)
Vitalic – Second Lives
Queen – Don't stop me now

12. Zadnji biseri modrosti?
Preberi si odgovor na deveto vprašanje. :)

p.s. pa nej mi nekdo razloži kdo je ta Diđej Umek! :D

They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy; nobody cares
(Beck - Lost Cause)

Zakaj Pustni Smetnjak vedno znova zazija kot globoka razpoka v vsakdanjosti?

Ali zato, ker uspe njegova detonacija v ušesih preglasiti zgornjo kitico? Mar nas maske odvežejo človeškosti, da lahko postanemo bolj človeški? Morda zadostuje že to, da si preprosto dovolimo biti šeme.

Jackson ali Anoraak, trainwrecki in defektne membrane zvočnika - koga pravzaprav briga?

Smetnjak remiksa pust: Anoraak (Valerie)

2010-02-11T22:45:00.012+01:00

Danes zjutraj nas je v inboxu pričakal email, ki je v natančno takem vrstnem redu vseboval slednje besede: "This is really sad and unfortunate, but Jackson is encountering a serious family issue and wont be able to do his gig in Slovenia this week-end." Kaj narediš, ko ti podplujejo oči? Našemiš se v pando (inverznega Dangerja).

Še ne 12 ur po jutranjem aufbiksu, se vam Smetnjak tako priglaša z odločitvijo, da se za soboto našemuri v kiči eijtis maskenbal. In kdo je bolj prikladen za prvi sintisajzer takih saturnalij kot francoski neoromantik in zastavnik še vedno cvetoče sint renesanse, Anoraak? Njegovih glavnih sentišev na tem mestu ne bomo naštevali, prihranili vam bomo tudi z razpredanji o zloglasni komuni Valerie. Morda zgolj namigljaj: 6/7 pustošenja bo potekalo na dan krilatega božička z lokom in puščicami, zato je vredno razmisliti komu pokloniti zadnji ples. Hej, tudi Valentinovo je smet.

Pustni Smetnjak: Jackson and His Computer Band

2010-02-10T13:13:00.005+01:00

V prepričanju, da do sedaj že vsi veste, kako se vršijo stvari na pustnem Smetnjaku, se bomo uvodnim vrsticam odpovedali na račun nekaj dodatnih besed o nekom, ki bi ga lahko opisali kot »nedvomno enega najbolj podivjanih talentov svoje generacije« - če mu ne bi s tem storili surove krivice.

Življenje Jacksona Fourgeauda se začne z njegovim rojstvom. Slednje se zgodi še ne 30 let nazaj, ko ga povije blues pevka Paula Moore. Jacksonova glasbena vzgoja se začne zgodaj: preden pri 15-ih zasede mamičin Atari, ima za seboj že nekajletno kariero bobnarja in kratko rave gabba obsesijo. Brezkončne ure prebite pred računalom dobijo obliko v prvem EP-ju, ki mu ga na založbi Pumpkin izda starejša sestra. Nato se opremi z Rolandom 909 in 303, Moog sinti in semplerjem, ter inhalira zvok filtriranega housea Daft Punkov in Cassiusa. V sorodni maniri nadaljuje tudi kot varovanec francoske založbe Sound of Barclay, kjer mu družbo delajo Modjo, Cerrone, Femi Kuti in kasneje Yuksek. E.P.-ja Sense Juice in Gourmet nakažeta Jacksonovo besno muzikaličnost ter nagnjenost k malodane bolestni produkcijski dodelanosti (nekje v tem času mlajšega kolega za učne ure zvočnega inženiringa poprosi Mr. Oizo). Po izdaji singla Utopia, ki ni nič manj kot elektronska poezija, ga revija Wire razglasi za »veliki up plesne glasbe«. Naslednja štiri leta se izolira od sveta. Vrne se s 14 pesmimi, ki jih Justice kasneje označita kot najvplivnejši album vseh časov: Smash. Nadžanrsko stvaritev Jackson opiše kot »orgijo stilov, psihedelično praznovanje konflikta«, Vice kot »a beautiful, soulful, fucked up masterpiece«, za »instantno klasiko« ga razglasi tudi Pitchfork, a se ta oznaka s časom izkaže za anderstejtment. Album patentira načopani sampling, ki ga kasneje za svojega vzameta prav Justice. Jackson zatem malce remiksa: Air, M83, Femi Kuti, Luke Vibert (oz. njegov projekt Moog Acid), nenazadnje ga za predelavo komada D.A.N.C.E. zaprosita tudi Justice. Dostavi jima 12-minutno »Do the JAHCB« epopejo, v katero vnese semple iz celotnega albuma Cross. V isti sapi Fourgeaud ne dovoljuje razstavljanja lastnih kompozicij - preveč časa porabi, da jih sestavi: »I want things to be definitive. I’m not for this ‘global material’«. Odpove se tudi sleherni promocijski aktivnosti, saj jo smatra za »neresnično«. Tik pred izdajo drugega albuma, ki ga kuje že štiri leta, ga iz njegove luknje povsem nepričakovano zbezlja Smetnjak: tudi Jackson je smet!

Darilo za dan kulture: incest

2010-02-07T19:11:00.007+01:00

Daddy Serge, Charlotte, kingdom size bed, Chopin.

Klaus Kinski in his autobiography overidentified with Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (or has Aguirre overidentified with him?), i.e. his speech at the end where monkey business makes the world go round:

»I, the Wrath of God
will marry my own daughter
and with her I will found
the purest dynasty
the earth has ever seen.«

Kingski. It shows in his daughter's filmography according to wikipedia:

1) In Così come sei (1978) a girl (Nastassja Kinski) falls in love with a man (Marcello Mastroianni) who may be her father.
2) In Cat People (1982) Paul Gallier (Malcolm McDowell) wants to sleep with his sister Irena (Nastassja Kinski) in order not to transform into a leopard, their family being of werecat heritage.
3) Little Boy Blue (1997) features what at first appears to be a non-consensual incestuous relationship between a mother Kate (Nastassja Kinski) and her son Jimmy (Ryan Phillipe).

And then there's king of the hill.

1) WaxDolls - High Speed Killer Ride (fresh belgijski dance punk duo, fajn pojeta, lepe igračke mata, hudi rifi, poka na proper zame plata leta)

2) Yuksek - Away from the Sea (francoski elektro, res huda produkcija, od hard prženja do čist disco komadou: komad z chromeo je za zjokat dobr...tud pizderija u živo, mudel use špila u živo sam, čiz kreejzi)

4) Telepathe - Dance Mother (prvenec eksperimentalnega psihadeličnega avantgarde noise post crust dream pop elektro duota, a must)

5) The Horrors - Primary colours (drugi album angleškega banda je bil zame veliko presenečenje, močno se razlikuje od punk prvenca strange house, the horrors nam postrežejo z post punk zvokom, kakršnega ni bilo slišati zeloooo dolgo)

6) Beyond The Wizards Sleeve - Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Re-Animations Vol. 1 (lansko leto sta erol alkan in richard norris izdala album ark 1 na katerem so njune predelave rare 60s psihadeličnih komadou-če bi ta album izšel leta 2009 bi ga definitivno dal na prvo mesto, ker pa ni, izpostavim album remiksov re-anuimations vol.1, ki pa si zasluzi mnogo vecjo pozornost kot jo ima)

7) The Whitest Boy Alive - Rules (norveški band, drugi album, album poln zelo catchy melodij, sladkih analognih zvokov crumarja ds-2, glas frontmana erlend øyea pa človeka pomiri kot nežna poletna sapica..)

8) Metronomy - Not Made For Love (lansko leto je band kot trio, na čelu z josephom mountom izdal album nights out, ki je mnogo bolj spevn kot glitch prvenec pip paine. po odhodu basista gabriela so je bendu pridruzila bobnarka in nov basist, izdali so ep z naslovon not made for love, s tremi novimi komadi + remiksi predstavijo svoj nov zvok)

9) DOOM - Born Like This. (supervillaina mf dooma-sedaj samo doom spremljam odkar sem odkril njegov projekt z danger mousom: danger doom, letošnja plata born into this me je prijetno presenetila, največjo pozornost pa si po mojem mnenju zasluži komad Cellz, ki vključuje poezijo charlesa bukowskega: dinosaurioa, we)

Dogs mark it - whenever possible - as their territory. The sandbox.
Recently it has been occupied by some other beasts.
It smells of revenge instinct.
Is there a fiercer rival in the battle for human attention?
A dog is just its substitute, a car merely at its service.
The child. It is not a human, jr., it is a completely separate form of being.
Why are the holes in cats fur always in the right places for their eyes? There is something very cunning about a child that comes precisely out of a certain hole.
Cars and dogs searching for a place where no kids go. Hey!

Arcade Fire - No Cars Go

###

Za svoj teritorij ga, če se le da, markirajo psi. Pač, peskovnik. (Saj niso etimologi.)

Nazadnje so ga zasedle neke druge mrcine.

Diši po instinktu maščevanja.

Kdo je strašnejši tekmec v boju za človekovo pozornost?
Pes je le substitut zanj, avto zgolj njemu na uslugo.

Otrok. Ni mlajši človek, je čisto posebna oblika bitja.
Zakaj so luknje v mačkinem kožuhu natanko tam, kjer so oči? Nekaj zelo premetenega je na otroku, da prileze ravno iz določene luknje.
Cars and dogs searching for a place where no kids go. Hey!

Revizionizmi #6: The Candy Man

2009-12-05T10:20:00.009+01:00

V peskovniku sedita deklici in se igrata. Mimo pride pedofil in da vsaki bonbon. Naslednji dan enako, še naslednji prav tako. Mine mesec in deklica reče drugi deklici:
"Preden naju tale pofuka, bova fasali sladkorno."

"/.../ I learned that Saint Nicholas travels with what was consistently described as 'six to eight black men'. I asked several Dutch people to narrow it down, but none of them could give me an exact number.
/.../ if you told the average white American that six to eight nameless black men would be sneaking into his house in the middle of the night, he would barricade the doors and arm himself with whatever he could get his hands on."

David Sedaris, Six to Eight Black Men

3. decembra se rodi France Prešeren, "med otroki znan kot Doktor Fig, saj je imel v žepu vedno kakšno figo ali drugo sladko dobroto".

V noči s 5. na 6. decembra se prikaže Sv. Nikolaj oziroma Miklavž, ki otrokom prinaša suho sadje in sladkarije. Porednejše doleti šiba vražja v liku in delu parkeljnov.

Svetnik, ki pretepa smrkavce, kakšnega ugrabi in utopi. Svetnik iz Turčije. Bele Turčije?

Pesnik-svetnik-pravnik. Dr. Fig alias Dr. Fick.

Ta kulturosfera je tako prešerna in slovenly, da mora imeti Ta veseli dan kulture in kulturni praznik. Enega za veselje, drugega za melodramo.

Dr. Fig in g. Prešeren. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Smetnjakovih 12: Butyreux

2009-12-03T18:49:00.004+01:00

Butyreux ("it is pronounced 'butirò' and it means buttery in French") of Trash-Dance is another one in line of the Italian-breed super producers. Hailing from the epicentre of spaghetti electro uprising, the hometown of Sir Bob Rifo of The Bloody Beetroots, his sound blends the usual suspects of current floor slaying aroma: abundance of synthesizers, profusion of filters and distortion, and harsh pumping beats. The twist comes up later. Seize it tomorrow.

1. Who are you, what do you do and where do you do it?
I'm Michele from the North-East of Italy, producer and a dj for the world.

2. Describe your sound in 12 words!
A mix of Pump funk acid happy zippy house music without cocaine.

3. Which musician/music act did most significantly influence your music taste?
A clichè answer would be Daft Punk, but I was influenced mostly by the early 90's house music (before the electro wave), for example by David Morales for his music, melody, beats and for the mixing technique.

4. Blue pill or red pill?
Blue pill - serenity without consciousness.

5. Which are your superpowers?
The power of mixing and the laser beam.

6. Which song should have been on every CD recorded for the loved one?
Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, but I never recorded a love CD for a girl....

7. Who is DJ Umek?
A dj/producer whom I heard play at Global disco 4 summers ago when I was in Ljubljana on vacations.

8. Why do they put round pizza in a square box?
For a marketing reason. Making round boxes is more expensive than doing square ones. And also because pizzas have an irregular shape... If you wanted a star shaped pizza would they give it to you in a star shaped box? Square box is more useful!

9. What do you do, when you are not occupied with music?
I'm studying economics at University of Venice.

10. Who is your favourite Game Over member?
I never played Game Over, I was too young. But in Mortal Combat my favourite member was Sub-Zero!

11. Current top 4 for the dancefloor and top 3 for the car?
Dancefloor:
Duck Sauce – You're Nasty
Boys Noize – Jeffer
Grum – Heartbeats
Cassius - youth speed trouble cigarettes

Car:
Paul Anka - Diana
883 - Tieni il Tempo
Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow

I'm Bobmo, a dj from Bordeaux who lives in Paris, I play in differents cities every week since Institubes signed me.

High powered club music influenced by chicago house, baltimore house or detroit techno from the 90's

Todd terry, Dj Deeon

4. Blue pill or red pill?
no pill !

5. Which are your superpowers?
(stub)

CLS - Can you feel it

7. Who is DJ Umek?
I don't know this name... im going to listen on myspace!

8. Why do they put round pizza in a square box?
Square boxes are easier to make, ship and store flat. Round boxes typically have to be pre-made and are more bulky to transport. Circular pizza is easier to cut into slices. Also, if the pizza were square, it would look weird.

(I found this answer with google ^^

9. What do you do, when you are not occupied with music?
watching movies, hanging out with friends and sleeping!

10. Who is your favourite Game Over member?

11. Current top 4 for the dancefloor and top 3 for the car?

Smetnjakova bomba: Bobmo (Institubes) in pomembni drugi

2009-11-27T12:21:00.005+01:00

Decembrska evforija, ki traja že od oktobra, razgraja tudi na smetišču: ob koncu leta se trošimo s pospeškom prostega (od)pada. Drugo srečanje srečno zavrženih je alpsko-mediteranska internacionala z Bobmom na violončelu. Poleg Francije se bodo podpisu transnacionalnega pakta pridružili še Trash-Dance, ki bodo v imenu Italije prispevali soničnega Butyreuxa in poskočna Lil' Rascals, Hrvaška nam kani poslati mične Miće Mace in, nenazadnje, se za višje cilje svoji nevtralnosti odreče tudi Švica: naši tujski legiji bo pridala preostanek nastajajočega hurikana v polovičnem lastništvu Smetnjaka – Volatile.

Hugues Rey ali Bobmo je fant brez formalne glasbene izobrazbe. V rodnem Bordeauxu, kjer odrašča skupaj s Stripom Steveom, se najprej okuži s hip-hopom, po dovolj kratki karieri reperja nadaljuje s tehnom iz Detroita, housom iz Chicaga in bassom iz Miamija. Ko prebavi diskografijo očjakov iz založb Trax in Dancemania, se odloči vzeti stvari v svoje ročice in plaz je sprožen. Pri 17-ih ga pod krilo vzame Intitubes ter mu izda malo ploščo Let's Go Bobmo, ki vsebuje tudi To The Bobmobil. Slednjega v sete vštrikajo Sinden, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Diplo, Busy P in podobni, Bobmo pa na prizorišče vdre skozi velika vrata. Na vrsti so naročila za remikse: od morda po krivici spregledanega irskega godbenika Japea prevzame Floating, za DVNO štimo iz Scenario Rocka obdela Perfect Love Antidote, založbeni kamerat in vrstnik Surkin mu prepusti Kid Gloves. Ko Surkin in Bobmo postaneta High Powered Boys, najglasnejša francoska petelinčka, kikirikata v en glas. Rezultat je pričakovan: Sounds of Cain so izjemni, remiksa za MSTRKRFT in Blaqstarr prav tako. Bobmov drugi E. P. 3000 % YES, remiksi za Davida Rubata, Dre Skull, Malente & Dexa ter naši smetki Hey Today!, you-name-it playliste, nova mala plata High Powered Boys na poti, Institubes prevzema primat Ed Bangerja in to in ono. Tudi nacionalni stereotipi so smeti: Bobmov zvok je vse, kar s sovraštvom ljubimo pri Francozih – neotesana prefinjenost, pretenciozna iskrenost in subtilnost v obraz. Je suis un déchet, tu sei spazzatura, ja sam đubre, du bist Abfall, mi smo Smetnjak.

Smetnjakovih 12: Moulinex

2009-11-25T00:59:00.007+01:00

Moulinex is the sweetest thing Valerie sound has to offer: synth heavy disco groove with morbidly obese bass-lines and a speck of ill-disciplined distortion. In words of our favourite pillock-man Matt Waites of Nightmoves: "the good stuff". This Friday at Nered in Klub K4 with support of yours truly.

1. Who are you, what do you do and where do you do it?
Hi, I'm Luis, and i make music that reminds me of sunnier, hotter places, in a dark studio in Munich.

3. Which musician/music act did most significantly influence your music taste?
Too many to name them all. But a few electronic acts like Air, Boards of Canada, Daft Punk or even Amon Tobin turned me to electronic music. Among other genres, I draw much inspiration from the likes of Stevie Wonder.

4. Blue pill or red pill?

Pure Garbage

2009-11-11T07:37:00.010+01:00

Nikar ne podcenjujte moči odlaganja odpadkov v naravo.
Ti so lahko vir življenja, nadvse animiranega življenja.
Temu se reče zbistritev.
Čista smet by Futura DDB in Art Rebel 9, tule.

Never underestimate the power of dumping trash.
It can be a source of life, a very animated life.
This is what one calls a clarification.

Smetnjakovih 12: Volatile

2009-11-09T11:28:00.005+01:00

The following words were written on this very computer one month ago: "Volatile was formed only two years ago through a trans-alpine connection of two young yet versatile producers, NubiS from Slovenia and Feral from Switzerland. The pair shared a passion for 90’s big beat, drum'n'bass and the new wave of electro, which gave birth to a perilous monster: the sound so powerful and chaotic that it should be measured with Richter magnitude scale. The youngsters’ flair for destruction was noticed swiftly – The Proxy picked up their very first single and tracklisted it in his mix for Kissy Sell Out’s BBC Radio 1 show, while Hostage started spreading their name through his live sets and by praising them on the musical blogosphere. Their first official release - Faces Of War EP – has seen the light of day through an independent digital label Studio Internova shortly after. While the conscientious twosome continued to produce track after track, their take on Röyksopp’s Tricky Tricky landed nearly at the top of the hypem.com popularity chart on several occasions, second only to mainstream artists like Kanye West. With a potent fascination with music, heaps of exciting unreleased materials and an upcoming Australian tour with notorious Trashbags Kids, Volatile is destined to explode. Get to know them, before your friends do."

Still, before we send them out into the world, we have to try them out for ourselves. The ultimate test of the semi-domestic duo will take place in four weeks at Klub K4. If they survive this, they will survive just anything.

2. Describe your sound in 12 words!
Dark, hard, loud, distorted yet deep, menacing, apocalyptic, moody, techy, explosive... Volatile.

4. Blue pill or red pill?
Sorry, wasn't paying attention. Which one is for what? Morpheus was your name, right?

5. Which are your superpowers?
You can be special too.

6. Which song should have been on every CD recorded for the loved one?
A song for the ladies by Jon Lajoie - Show me your genitals.

7. Who is DJ Umek?
That's an easy one, he is... erm... a disc jockey!
