mr. oizo s/d, c/d

God that single is criminally overlooked, it feels as though without it there'd have been no Timo remix of Doom's Night by Azzido Da Bass. And furthermore I reckon all the nu break stuff like Plump DJs, Stanton Warriors, Ils, Meat Katie owes alot to Flat Beat. It would still sound fucking fantastic in a breaks set, it did in fact, somewhere in the haze of my Glastonbury memories it's hanging around. DJ might have been Tayo??? Other nu-breaks boffin....

more info please :)

heh.

xp, ysi link woo!!

i second the mr oizo mix of arks "sucubz", its really awesome and short. ive got a lot of time for mr oizo

Is this the year of (I'll admit vahid & other ILM-er comments are influential to my impressions here) french(ish) cut-up glitch funk madness albums?

Ark - Caliente
Jackson & His Computer Band - Smash
Modeselektor - Hello Mom! (somehow they fit in here despite German-ness)
Prefuse73 ... he had something out this year (English isn't he? He doesn't really do a lot for me but anyway).

And now the granddaddy Mr. Oizo returns!

Well... okay that's only five perhaps.

I still need to get 'Analog Worms...' :/ and what slocki said.

"half a scissor"

the tune is midway through the album and a midpoint musically as well, somewhere between the cut-ups and the frenetic beats.

I haven't heard the others either (Prefuse I don't really care about, Jackson I was looking forward to not too bothered now. Doesn't seem like minds have been blown around it (compared to that remix, you know the one). Modeselektor isn't out yet heh (sept 19th?). I guess it might have leaked by now though.

Oizo on it's way! (unless YSI stalls at 40%) thank you.

Katapult Vol. 2 - A Karat Mix By Krikor - http://www.stylusmagazine.com/review.php?ID=3413

Interesting. I need to remember to get more label mixes instead of stumbling & slightly unsatisfying compilations/albums (ark - caliente, rabimmel rabammel etc) I think.

Those Mr. Oizo tracks were kind of nuts.

i don't think there's any hard and fast rule w/r/t mixes, not that that's exactly what you're saying, but yes, most of the music you refer to is meant to be heard in the mix. (stating the obvious i know)

I do like to hear things in full often though too (Bpitch compilations, 'classic' techno etc).

I think all the Kompakt related stuff I have is on mixes fwiw, although I did try and get the Closer Musik album (unmix) once but it ended up being unavailable after all.

Why did it take me so long to get this? The Justice remix totally excuses everything else they've done, and the original "Nazis" is like a more brutal "Stunt."

rvng have what i assume is the new single up in their monthly selection of tunes. it's somewhat straight-ahead for an oizo track!

He's on Ed Banger now :/

Ok, so I knew dude was a director- he did his own videos for "Flat Beat" and "Stunt," the Flat Eric commercial, Sebastien Tellier's "La Ritournelle," etc.- what I didn't know is that he's got a full-length movie coming out soon, called Steak. Apparently it stars Eric & Ramzy and is sort of a comedy about plastic surgery. I think, anyway, I can barely ask where the train station is in French, let alone follow film dialog. Here's hoping it doesn't suck.

Trailer is here, myspace with some stuff from the soundtrack is here. Lots of Oizo, Tellier, and SebastiAn.

Holy shit Steak is filmed by the Oizo guy?!?! The trailer didnt look too promising and Eric&Ramzy have been known to make shitty movies so i didnt think about seeing it. This + the soundtrack might make me change my mind.

Lambs Anger, the new album, is pretty damn good. Oizo always has the illest intro's.

god, HALFANEDIT is so good. There was a six month period where it popped up in like every dj mix/set ever

the Jamelia rmx is totally ace..

Still haven't seen Steak, still loving the soundtrack.

What's the story on Lambs Anger? Same kind of sound (not that this is a bad thing, not at all)? On Ed Banger or wherever, is there US distribution, etc?

...okay, googled and answered a few questions myself. It has a fucking great cover:

Flat Eric about to get his eye slit, Bunuel-style. Yes.

Lambs Anger is a "grower". I like it a lot. it's fun/party :)

Wow, Pitchfork really dissed Lambs Anger today. I don't get why they'd hurl so much vitriol at such a small-time album. FWIW, it's one of my favorites of the year so far.

I was wondering if somebody would bring this up- I'm a bit bewildered myself.

Yeah, the album is a solid if not fantastic affair, with a healthy dose of fuck you to the audience.

I'm not particularly surprised by the review though. P4k seemed to have missed the french electro thing, especially Ed Banger and Kitsune and, coming late to the party when it's fading, have done nothing but throw poo on it.

Incidentally, a friend interviewed Oizo a couple of weeks ago and he confirmed Daft Punk are working on a new album.

Exactly - it may not be the best ever, but it has a good bunch of solid tracks and a couple exceptional ones. More importantly, Mr. Oizo has a really recognizable and personal sound, which is unusual when the vast majority of dance music has a strong copycat component.

#1 and M Beat are the best Oizo things by far and no one has even mentioned them. Quit buying his stuff after the long post AWA hiatus, nothing since can measure up to anything before.

There's never been a bigger pisstaker but god love that wacky bastard
