bestuvoate: DIOYY? + Culture Prophet

best_cp

Culture Prophet first broke out on the blogosphere in late 2007 with a few high profile remixes of Danger and Digitalism (what better way to get your mug on the map than that amiright?). Then after adding Chicago's own Dag Joe in 2008, their hardcore electro-thrashing sound found it's groove and took-off with a respectable stable of original productions and remixes that became fan favorites world-wide.


Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are Rockstars (Culture Prophet Remix) | download

The highlight of the year for CP had to have been their European tour across 6 countries in two weeks earlier in June. Bringing their live act of electro/percussive/synth/dj'ing to the masses that embraced them in the electro-loving internet community was rewarding to all parties. My personal favorite from them this year was an unofficial remix by their electro-thrash-nu-rave brethren from the UK, Does It Offend You, Yeah? The already aggressive track "We Are Rockstars" gets even dirtier and lethal when CP take their spin at it. Throw in some Asian influenced synths and penetrating new bassline blended with sweet sweet breaks and you have yourself a dancefloor riot. It's common knowledge that hospitals around the world are singing praises at the medical bills caused by this track.

Thrills + Culture Prophet

cp_01

Chris and Michael of Culture Prophet were kind enough to send over another obnoxiously addictive blend of electronic sounds. DJ's everywhere need to start mixing this into their sets ASAP.

And more great news regarding CP... word is out that they'll finally be stepping foot in the windy city again... this time attending The End on Sunday, September 14th at Rednofive performing along side Junk Solo and the Starters DJ's. Definitely setting this up on my calender, as should all of you chitown readers. Hope to see y'alls there!!

Pelski + Trashbags + Biscuits

Like so many other respectable blogs have done, I will include a post every now and again featuring the good folks from around the blogosphere that have been doing some avid work. Here's the first go...

New on the blogroll is Pelski. The dude is pretty simple, just post the best effin bangers on the planet, none of this "psytrance and hippy rave" bullish. One of his recent posts features an unsigned *gasp* American? The Yank (proper noun) has an addictive track that quite literally cannot be stop'd. Just wait til bout 1:27 in and watch people break bones on the dancefloor. Also check the DJ Bam Bam remix that kinda just takes the bassy parts and makes it a 4 minute monster. [post to link]

Over at Trashbags, Elle posted a new Culture Prophet remix that adequately gets the job done (btw, who doesn't think these guys are fire? *looks around, see's nobody raising any hands, and agrees*). Also are a few more from the Trashbags' own Nixon. Expect more excellent ish from this unsigned aussie phenom.

Sweet Beats over at Hot Biscuits gave us some more bangers as well. He posted this dude that goes by B-Ju. And he "represented the shit out of Germany!" His mixtape is balls out banging. Looks to maybe be a bit A-Trak heavy, but its not (and besides, since when was that ever a bad thing?)

Digitalism is the BIGGEST party EVER!!

[when we last heard from the little-blog-that-could... we were learned on how SMD can still do the small things for their fans. In a continuing quest to show how the little-city-that-could can host some world-class bangers]

snikt! or shlukt!... either way it's better than you [art by tsutomu nihei]

When considering 2007's best electro... if Justice was an adamantium clad Wolverine, then Digitalism would be Wolvie after his bones were stripped of the impenetrable alloy. You couldn't touch Justice last year, and Digitalism was just as great, only a little more raw and unseen. Both signed on world class labels (Ed Banger and Kitsune respectively), made hugely successful debuts in 2007, and just know how to lay the beats.

devil children waiting for zie germans to begin

Digitalism came to Subterranean, a venue I had never been to, but will be putting on my short list of places to visit again due to its uniquely laid out space. It was absolutely packed, as it should've been, and the German duo played all their cards... pretty much their whole album+. They even started playing my favorite in "Echoes" but mixed in with something else about 30 seconds in. Should also note their set featured a lot more live elements than I first expected, including live vocals and drum pads.

I can't fail to mention Los Angeles locals Guns'n'Bombs who laid kickin tracks to open things, and closed his set with some slick Chromeo mixes.

i can see you!

[what else will be in store for this big city with the small town feel? Be sure to tune in for the next episode of 'Chicago is better than Brooklyn']
