How To Make White People Do The Harlem Shake Within One Minute!

The combination of hip hop + electronic music can sometimes be fun like this. The UK has always done it funkier than the rest of the world and Shift K3Y seems to be carrying on that tradition. Love it how the entire martial aspect of  german and global electronic music is entirely not present – you know that whole dark, moody, brooding, romantic MDMA feel that is supposed to be emotional, but is actually everything but that and sounds more like a cold and empty room and…

Ok, i almost went off onto a rant here. I bet this a tune that everyone can enjoy, you know #whitepeopledancing #youcallthatdancing #whatareyoudoingman and i bet I’ll play this song for some time to come now. The song is awesome but this is exactly the combination that will have the blonde, ginger northern hemisphere potatoe humans doing their cosby dance. After hearing this i’ll come up with a playlist of these kind of tunes shortly. Damn, i like this and this will have THEM in a frenzy. Turn up your systems, watch your white friends, no matter what gender, age (the much older ones will probably still be a bit scared of the negroid overtones) go from toe tapping to headnodding off into a fully executed solo harlem shake… add available party drugs and alcohol to make the experience last longer for the test subject.

Germans will love this song: EinS, Zsssswei… Autobahn! Jaaaa!

I Was Feeling Melancholic. Until This Song Came On. Now I Want To Travel Around The Globe!

Great feelgood tune with a happy dancefloor vibe and actually my jam of jams, for the past few days. A great piece of pop music in a contemporary 140 bpm outfit with the double time 808 sounds and claps, and especially with keyboards that sound like carribbean steeldrums.Makes you want to get up and leave the house… the city… the country… and jump on planes, trains and automobiles to head towards the sunny lands. Even though it’s about traveling together through life and going through changes but never giving up on each other. Great effort by this, until now unknwon band to me, hailing from Washington DC. Enter Misun and come, Travel With Me! You are going to hear this in all my sets… guaranteed!

Indie Music + Hip Hop = Regular Hipster Music. Vampire Weekend + Danny Brown = AWESOME!

The Difference Between Boys And Men

After delivering maybe THE album of last year it’s hard to one up that, but Vampire Weekend manages to deliver this winters first and only anthem that sounds so much like winter. Lovely tunes with the help of uber hipster god Danny Brown & Heems (Das Racist) & Despot. Biggest hipster band in the world + biggest hipster rapper doesn’t necessarily equal ‘biggest hipster tune’ – in this case this is just a beautiful song. And that’s the fine line between kids and men.

White People? More Like White Animals! A Music Video You’ll Enjoy And Regret

In the future when every person on this planet (non-human persons excluded) is brown, our descendants will be wondering: “White folks? What the hell was that all about?”

Assuming the field of internet-archeology advances at the pace it does today, they’ll know. And it’s only a matter of time until their research comes across this little gem by Rawcus. It’s really all they’ll ever need to find… that is if they ever had the time to do actual research, instead of fighting off wave after wave of bloodthirsty robots, sent by the church of Kurzweil. Talk about racism, what’s with all the prejudice towards non-biological life? A sentient gas cloud on Jupiter is very angry right now.

But until that glorious day of ultimate synthetic hegemony, let us enjoy our tiny slice of history and our insignificant little differences. Also cats.
