[LISTEN UP] JOE GODDARD - TAKING OVER

Joe Goddard of Hot Chip just released a new EP titled ‘Taking Over’ on July 9th via DFA; a four track EP to reflect the next chapter in his love affair with stinky dry-ice and sticky floors in basements around the world.

The title ‘Taking Over’ is, as Joe says, “a reference to that moment when the music at a club starts to really hit you, when it forces you to focus on it and the night ahead.” Featuring collaborations with Boris Dlugosch and Mara Carlyle, ‘Taking Over’ is “an attempt to make synthesizers sound nice.”

Listen to the single Taking Over below via Soundcloud.

The Italian godfather of the disco music sound with major contributions as not only a music producer, but most importantly for his composing of film soundtracks. I happened to grab some copies of these at Reckless Records from Giorgio Moroder the other week.

While Kraftwerk were experimenting in Dusseldorf and Tangerine Dream in Berlin, Giorgio Moroder was also experimenting with synthesizers such as the Moog in the studios of Munich, Germany. It has been a busy 2013 year for Giorgio with an appearance in the new Daft Punk release.

[SUCH A SCENE] WAVEFRONT FEST 2013

Wavefront Music Festival, wrapped its second year this last weekend at Chicago’s Montrose Beach! There where 15 must see acts that we just had to catch! One of the highlights was the Legends Stage aka “DFA Stage” Friday night!

If you didn't make it out to Brooklyn for the DFA anniversary party last May, then Friday night would have been your best chance to catch Nancy Whang, Marcus Lambkin of Shit Robot, Pat Mahoney, Holy Ghost and James Murphy under one tent on the Montrose Beach sand. The Legends Stage was dedicated to the DFA artists who each played their own signature style disco grooves, while Holy Ghost! complemented the stage well with their modular & synthesizer gear setup. James Murphy ended the night with a disco inferno set w/ no other future dates of coming back as of yet...
