Fake Moustaches

continuing the hair theme...
london's been experiencing some kind of heatwave recently and everyone's thinking that summer's finally on its way...and what summer is complete without a fake moustache?..seriously...(or maybe not)...they're this season's must-have accessory. so why not go and pick yourself up one from your nearest purveyor of all things moustaki?
OR if you're really strapped for cash..you could just go around and compile all your old photos and skilfully manipulate each one on photoshop to make it look as though you've had one all this time and you're well ahead of the game...you fashionista, you..! as you can see, will's already done a whole batch of his old facebook profile pics...wow! it fooled me...

...in the mean time, have a listen to some tunes to get you in the mood for the (hopefully!) long, hot summer ahead...



"some things i see, i don't understand": whilst i can't say that i entirely 'get' what he's going on about in some of his lyrics, the title track from rémois producer Yuksek's It Comes EP is a punchy and fun-filled little number. despite its frequent allusions to all "the dying" which is presumably his subject, the upbeat bassline helps carry the song into less murky territory...the perfect accompanyment to one of these warmer nights...

Yuksek - It Comes

a highlight of Danger's 2007 debut release on DatA's Ekler'o'shock label, 09/14 2007, was his own boss showing him how it's done. the epic electro sounds of the comic book enigma from lyon are given that brash DatA edge, resulting in a dancefloor killer to be reckoned with...


belgium...belgium...supposedly one of the most boring places in the world...perhaps that's why it's spawned some of the globe's most prevalent and influential ravers, notably in the dance/electro rock category. Soulwax are perhaps the prime example, but Goose aren't far behind. here, their track Everybody, from their debut album Bring It On (Skint), is ripped apart by the storming The Bloody Beetroots. they seem to be remixing everyone at the moment, but this effort is so full of an insane energy that it's perfect for getting into that euphoric summer mood...


another thing that's great about summer is that sense of calm...lying on the green grass under a clear blue sky. tranquil. content. enter Cut Copy via the munich funkers, Moulinex...


if i'm honest, i'm not the greatest fan of The Teenagers...the words "incipid" and "nyeeuur" (not in a good way) spring to mind whenever i hear one of their tracks. but this remix from clubbers Gentlemen Drivers breaks this trend. it's uplifting euphony makes you feel like you're floating in some sweet-smelling electric bubble and sets you soaring. bring on the summer...
