BOUNCE TO POGO

MUSIC - The first time we heard Pogo's mesmerizing beats we were in awe. Pogo makes his beats by 'recording small sounds from a single film or scene and sequencing them to form a new piece of music.' In essence a simple idea, but the execution is anything but. The tracks are emotionally filled masterpieces with hooks, melodies and riffs that get your head nodding.

If you want to give it a go the equipment Pogo uses is 'Adobe Audition for sampling, FLStudio for sequencing and Sony Vegas for video editing.'

It's no surprise that the film and music industries have taken offence to the inspiring aural and visual creativity of Pogo. Sony Pictures Entertainment contacted the artist claiming that 'Bangarang', a rework of the Steven Spielberg film 'Hook' with some added bass and cymbals, was an infringement of their copyright.

You should check out his YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/Fagottron. Our personal favourites are Alice [featured above], Expialidocious and Bangarang.

WEEKEND WARM-UP #5

Sebastian Tellier – L’amour et la Violence [Boys Noize remix]

Neither of these boys needs an introduction. A seemingly perfect match of electronic sexuality and technicality, enjoy.

Dølle Jølle – Balearic Incarnation [Todd Terje’s extra døll remix]

Introducing… Dølle Jølle is the latest dj/ producer to emerge from the ever-growing Oslo disco scene, and with this his debut release on Permanent Vacation, he’s certainly made a great first impression on joes[a]fiend.

Hailed record of the week by both Manchester’s Piccadilly Records and London’s Phonica.

WEEKEND WARM-UP #4

The Basement Jaxx need no introduction! Here’s a track from their latest release, the ‘planet 1’ EP, available on limited edition yellow vinyl and download since last week.

We couldn’t resist including a second track this week, and we think you’ll understand why. Metronomy will be performing at Bestival next weekend, the line-up is nothing short of mind blowing!

Heartbreaker is due for release on Monday 1st September.
