Very well-done footage of Notting Hill Carnival 2010 with Poirier, household name for Tropical and Urban Electro from Montreal. It’s not a shame to feel bad if you haven’t been there.

Stay tuned for more Poirier coming soon…

Brandnew video for “Julia”, a track from The Very Best’s “Warm Heart of Africa” LP, already out for almost a year now I think.
I was always wondering what exactly the song is talking about (as I neither understand Chichewa nor Sepedi) but the video with Mo Laudi carrying lifeless ladies around strongly hints to something related to unaccomplished love. But as Esau is still sporting the brightest smile in music business, well, maybe it’s all about love in general ;).

Update: Check this free remix of “Julia” by Das Racist – you know, it’s all about the L.O.V.E
The Very Best – Julia (Das Racist Remix)

The “Julia” 12″ is already out digital at the Green Owl Store and will be released physically on October 5th, featuring remixes by Javelin and Johan Hugo. Bonus: the remixes of “Kamphopo” by Lazy Flow and “Nsokoto” by Renaissance Man (already available on “The Very Best Remixes of The Very Best“).
The Very Best are supporting Vampire Weekend on their US Tour this fall, find all the dates over on their Myspace.

Is being called “spastically great” by The Fader an honor for a young and upcoming producer? I definitely think so!

Growing up in Berlin’s Dancehall and Soca scene, then turning heads with his podcast series for seen., now being one of Munich’s Bass-Ambassadors with his own party at Crux club and hosting the monthly Man Recordings Man FM show, Tim Turbo is a busy young man having his hands in a lot of cooking pots at the moment.
His Debut EP “Hush (Iggy Iggy) / Linyora” is breathing the spirit of the newest wave of eclectic club productions, which I would describe as neon-colored tribal patterns translated into music, a hint of ethno in a clear and sometimes quite minimalistic beat construction. On being asked if he feels Tropical he explains: “At the point where I did the tunes for the EP I was definitely very much inspired by all kinds of Tropical and Caribbean music, as you can hear. But right now I listen a lot to the all this deep Post-Dubstep stuff, old Detroit Techno and Acid. Tropical vibes will still be a big inspiration, but if everybody would just be inspired by that we all end up again at the point where the Global House thing started and all stuff would sound pretty much the same. Like already everybody is using pretty much the same beat pattern again. I just have to change constantly. But I grew up on Reggae and Dancehall, so there will always be a tropical island somewhere in me.”
