Golden Bug & Dakar – Magia Potagia EP (Maxi)

Golden-Bug_Magia_Potagia

Golden Bug is demand right now: A-Trak is a huge fan and asked him for a remix recently. Bang Gang and Kitsune also just wanted remixes of him. Golden Bug – man from Paris. Living in Barcelona – has a unique sound. Hot, catchy Partytools. Somewhere between the funk of Mr. Oizo. The Sunburst rock of Tale Impala and some Ethnovibes of forgotten asian LSD Hippies.

Finally he finished a new EP: Magia Potagia feat. Dakar from Berlin.

This EP rocks. And: Check also the videos: Made by a guy who owns the rights for a couple of completely weird Spanish B-movies from the 70ies. Horror, vampire, science fiction. He edited this totally absurd stuff and created a couple of videos for the new Golden Bug tracks that are…. maaaaaad.

Dimitri from Paris & DJ Rocca pres. Erodiscotique: A Reason For Living (video)

Keep it street….. Dimitri from Paris is on the roll and his buddy DJ Rocca from Italy is rolling with him. The great, very 80ies song featuring Fred Ventura is part of their new E.P. on Gomma. Yes! The real Ventura – the old Italo Euro Trash Crooner legend from the 80ies. To illustrate the song we cut a few old breakdance and NY films that you might now..:). Enjoy!

gomma154_1

Release: 15 April 2011
Cat#: Gomma 154

Today is the day! Legendary Dimitri from Paris is back with an own E.P. Not disco, not house, but a late 80ies/ early 90ies inspired sound that combines boogie, hip house and NY dance pop. Featuring another legend on the mic: Italohouse crooner Fred Ventura.

Dimitri is the man who pioneered house music in France, who influenced all the big names of the French scene from the 90ies and from today. From Daft Punk to Justice. He is the man who released crazy compilations on BBE, Defected etc. The man who always has been ahead of it’s time. He teamed up with Italian producer DJ Rocca and created an E.P. for Gomma. A record that shows how the sound of 2012 could be. . This EP is released today on Gomma on Vinyl and digitally. And has a huge buzz already.

Danny Krivit: “I like it”
Tommie Sunshine: “Your Gomma release is bananas!!!”
Soul Clap: “This is amazing, total 90’s revival.. Can’t wait to play”
Mike Monday: “LOVE THIS!!!! Red hot…”
