Bring the Nosia

These Dutch lads are making some banging dance music. NOISIA (who took their name from the word ‘VISION’ inverted on an upside down VHS tape) are Nik Roos, Thijs de Vlieger and Martijn van Sonderen, hailing from the Netherlands. Influenced by an eclectic range of artists, from The Prodigy to James Brown, Miles Davis to Konflict, Noisia make music for DJs and dance-floors that is interesting enough to cross over from the clubs to your MP3 player.

2005 saw Noisia establish their own label, Vision Recordings to put out their drum&bass productions and collaborations and retain creative control of their music. Nik designs almost all of the artwork for the releases on their labels, and the guys love the challenges and rewards that come with running a label. Vision Recording’s biggest releases to date have been ‘The Tide’, ‘Exodus’ Feat. KRS One and ‘Stigma’. In 2007 they established Division, a non-D&B label for electro, breaks and house.

Cedric Gervais LIVE in Ottawa tomorrow night!

We so wish we could make this one.
The Marseilles born producer/dj now living in Miami takes his next stop on the "Miamification Tour" to Ottawa tomorrow night. Sotto Nightclub is the venue, and some tickets are still available online.

You definitely need to get there early, to avoid any type of line-up. The line-up won't be moving either, only an idiot would leave a club when a talent like this is playing.

If you're not to familiar with Gervais, he's worked with some really big acts: Lenny Kravits, and others, but at the moment he's working as the producer for Mya's new album.
His residency's are at LIV and Space in Miami, and here's a hit you'll certainly hear tomorrow night.

FROM CANADA WITH LOVE: CHROMEO

So this is the setting.

I leave the greyhound station at 9:30 a/m after waiting 3 hours for my brother to wake up and tell me his address. A long walk later, I'm on Holmwood, near the Civic Center in Ottawa. Walking up the creaky stairs into bro-bro's new sublet.

I'm greeted by a haze of smoke billowing through the entrance into an equally creaky living room and the contagious sound that is Chromeo. More specifically, Mercury Tears, I was instantly hooked. I've been a "Chromeo" ever since. We spent that day listening to Chromeo and watching Arrested Development, simultaneously.

Some 5 years later, Chromeo has shaken any non believers and proclaimed themselves to the world as some of the most talented musicians out.

I guess that's the foreword?

Chromeo is set to release their new video for "Hot Mess" and today, via their website, they released behind the scenes pictures. OO Sexy Mamacita's, can't wait! Here's the link!

Here's the song!

BARBRA STREISAND VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON ITUNES

Last night A-Quack rather Ducksauce, on twitter, posted that the amazing Barbra Streisand video is now available for FREEE, ALLLL WEEEEK on Itunes. So naturally being huge A-Trak and Armand Van Helden fans we rushed right over...Then reality checked in to the room beside us, knocked on our door, and told us that the video is only available in the U.S... Big time :(

So enjoy it U.S.A!

As for the rest of the world, well lets just watch it again on youtube!

NEW CUT COPY IN THE WORKS

There are a lot of great Australians, so picking a favourite is hard, but we really like Cut Copy. Their second album "In Ghost Colours" (they spell it right to) was amazing!
Pretty solid the whole way through so we're looking forward to what they're going to bring to the table this time around.

The release date is February 8th of 2011.

Apparently the group recorded the album in an abandoned warehouse, so they used generators, had very little heat and no internet. It's a very raw sounding album supposedly, but that's all we know so far. When we get a preview we'll be sure to link it up to you. Until then you'll have to do with this smasher off IGC. "Hearts On Fire" probably our favourite track from them, we used to bump this on our morning show a few years back. Shout out to our former Music Director, now Virgin Ottawa Traffic Announcer Sean Tansey for listening to us.



Also, peep the rest of the album, notable tracks:
Out The On The Ice
Nobody Lost Nobody Found
Far Away
