Truly one of the nicest guys the party/music biz, Kap10Kurt (shown below at his Kunk gig here last October) has recently dropped an edit of Teenage Suicide by the fast-out-of-the-block Aussies, Clubfeet. The smooth original would be pretty tough to muck up — only question is which direction to take it — Kap hangs on to much of the ‘chilling at sunrise’ feel while making the beat more robust in alternating waves. Alltogether, yet another track for the ever expanding outdoor summer tracklist…

Kap10kurt is coming! And we’re stoked about that. Although,  they’ll be travelling via Iceland so let’s hope they don’t drown in an expanding pool of hyper-inflated Krone in the Blue Lagoon before coming here. Assuming that doesn’t happen, however, you can expect an Opal-fueled keytar and synth orgy in less than two weeks time in our fair city by the Danube and not-yet-collapsed-into-financial-oblivion-but-give-it-a-few-weeks economy.

Of course Moulinex needs no introduction. The Munich-based, Portuguese-born remixer extraordinaire pretty much lovlies up everything he touches. In this case it’s the latest to come out of Kap10Kurt land, which follows upon his Dangerseekers single/vid from last year which got a wholla lotta love. Graci a la rash in the fashion of electro.

The October 25 will see K10K followed up by Russ Chimes. Just in case you needed more information about that. Which of course you probably don’t by know, but nevertheless you will still get.

Let’s say we’re just little bit excited for next month’s epic Russ Chimes v. Kap10kurt party. Like, we’re seriously fucking excited, and i’m sure you’ll hear about it from us to no end in the next 4 weeks. But, we all need something to distract us from the imminent collapse of the world’s financial system i guess. And what a better way to ring in our new collective pauper-hood than with a party. So there. Take that! — micro credit short mortgage leverage reserve lending or what-ever-the-fuck pseudo commodities we are trading these days. But I digress.

Kap10kurt is at present well-known in NY’s lower east side and Osaka, Japan, for destroying parties with his shredding keytar/drumset performances… but he’s also made some choice remixes as well. I’m a huge fan of the track X by Class E Cal which he edited some months back. Likely you’ve also seen this one by Grafton Primary that was also worked on by fellow Schweizers, Cryptonites. Switzerland is waking up, methinks.

Over the past couple of years, so many subsets of the neo ‘rave’ genre have been annointed i’ve given up trying to keep up — nu rave, who rave, jew rave, blue rave, stew rave, poo rave, er.. — on second thought, you got me, i never bothered trying to keep up. And i don’t care if you’re Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, or whoever the fuck: if you’re wearing huge rimmed glasses with no lenses inside, you look like a clown, full stop.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, what else is there to do but anoint a new sub genre of rave! Woot! I present to thee: subtle rave. Ah, yes, the audience ponders, subtle rave. Kap10Kurt, out of New York but originally from Switzerland, seems to have added just enough whiff of the “forgotten field to the side of the M2 highway circa 1989″ to his sequencer brew to captivate, but not bludgeon the listener. The result, Dangerseekers, I must say, is refreshing and banging all at once.

I should add that Kap10Kurt will be around these parts in the spring, so keep your eyes and ears peeled!

And finally, apropos of nothing, a few weeks back BigStereo mentioned how it was about that time to mini-revive Darude. We couldn’t agree more. This’ll get ya started.

And how awesome was that video with the lesbi couple* fighting for their love (which was contained in a briefcase) barreling around Helsinki… yeah.

* Yes in my mind they were a lesbi couple, so sue me.
