Bladerunner Post

Yo! I got a new job that has me writing a lot, so I’ve been dreading another assignment. Granted, Manalogue doesn’t force me to do these, I could say no, but it’s too much fun. Since I’m short on words, I’ll give you music and video instead;

I suggest muting the movie, and listening to this song:

K-conjog – Attenti al cane
K-CONJOG MYSPACE!!!

I discovered this video in relation to a candid facebook conversation about Bladerunner, that turned in to talk of Robot Intercourse. This video was linked by a friend of a friend. K-Conjog sent us an email claiming to be a one man boy band. I downloaded his tunes expecting him to be an a capella singer or something. I think he may be the opposite of a capella.

Video Turntablism on the Prairies

So my last post was about leaving Montreal for greener pastures in Alberta. Aside from the pastures actually being rather yellow, I am doing pretty well so far. I miss being metres away from live DJs and music almost every night of the week, now I am having to drive to out of the way clubs just to get a taste of a little electro.

Now, here is where things get a bit interesting. There is going to be a big show this Friday night. Where is it? Calgary? Edmonton? Red Deer? No way, Airdrie Alberta.

Yes, yes, Yall. The bass heads and tech freaks of Airdrie time to get down. DJ Tell-X has his own brand of DJing, which will no doubt make for an interesting night. He can actually control the video and audio with his tables and mixer. Check the video for a taste:


DJ and VJ wrapped up in one, pretty crafty I must say. So, if you’re in Calgary, I suggest making the trip, if you are in Airdrie, you have no excuse. I know we’re not going to turn Airdrie in to Ibiza after one show, but it’s a start!

LITTLE BOOTS <3's THE STYLOPHONE

Songbird and remix darling LITTLE BOOTS is getting her chance to gab on VBS about the one and only STYLOPHONE. Seems to me like a pretty good endorsement, I’ve been wanting one for some time now, but haven’t seen them in shops till recently. Urban Outfitters sells them in the “Hip Junk” section of their stores, so if you can’t resist go now and get one!

The device it’s self is actually very cool, I may have to buy one on pay day before this video goes viral and they sell out. Hit the jump to view another video of Little Boots kicking a bedroom version of “Meddle” that shows the Stylophone in action.
