Don't be a lollapaloser, vote for Murderbot!

Having recently completed his staggering 'Year Of Mixtapes' project, Chrissy Murderbot has begun a new album and is working hard on remixes as part of a contest which could see him playing the legendary Lollapalooza festival!

So why don't you do him a favour and pay him back for all those joyfully nerdy hours you've pissed away pouring over his blog and vote for his remix of Tiga's 'What You Need'? If you don't I will hunt you down; don't think this needlessly aggressive tone is in anyway ironic, by the way. Oh, and you can vote for him every day between now and he 20th. See that you do.

To read an interview The Guardian - yes, The Guardian - conducted with Chrissy, go here.

"I don't see it as allowing an illegal drug party"

I wasn't going to post this video until I realised where it was: the North East! I couldn't believe this was on the Birthday Party Berlin blog, but then again our good chum Jason Forrest knows his stuff!

New Kanji Kinetic EP on Senseless Records!

Heavy bass purveyor Kanji Kinetic has a new EP out today on Senseless Records, promising a higher tempo of 175 as opposed to the usual 130/140 BPM. The blurb on their Soundcloud page talks about looking back to the old days of rave and jungle, which is always promising.

What I like about Kanji Kinetic is the heaviness he manages to inject into slow club-oriented music, which is becoming an increasingly rare trait these days. It's being released as a split with the New Era EP released on Tigerbeat6 earlier this year but with two new tracks and two remixes from Kaiser and Cracks as well.

You can stream the whole EP on the Senseless Records Soundcloud page before you buy the bugger.
