TTC - Game Over '99

This is TTC's first EP, made/released in 1999, it's actually one of my favorite's by them (their early EP's may be their best work next to 3615) The first track Game Over uses some really awesome samples and sounds from what sounds like a SNES version of Mario (yay chiptune). Notice it's produced by Flash Gordon, which is actually the original pseudonym of Mr. Flash. Because of this track, Mr. Flash was almost signed to Big Dada Record Label but was snubbed and the Label decided to take TTC instead (because of some weird/superlame policy of not taking lone producers or something). The Second Track is produced by DJ Fab who produces for La Caution another popular french alternative hip-hop group (most notably helping produce their debut LP Asphalte Hurlante). I love the beats on this EP, really solid work, and teki's weird vocals are always awesome. >>>

C'est Un Post de TTC!!!

TTC are the kings of parisian underground hip-hop, an electro/house inspired pop-rap trio consisting of Cuizinier (Yelle's less favored ex), Teki Latex(aspiring king of pop/house dj), and Tido Berman as MCs. Usually they are accompanied by DJ Orgasmic, but are also frequently produced by artists like Para One, Modeselektor, Tacteel, among others. They also have had countless collaborations that are all pretty cool(L'Armée des 12 par example). Each of the members have released solo works, cuizinier's being my favorite. I've Decided to post some of my favorite tracks of theirs, i hope you'll see why i like them, if hearing modeselektor drop a couple of these tracks in montpellier that night wasn't enough (bastille>). Anyways have fun listening>

Daedelus

Alfred Weisberg-Roberts (aka Daedelus) is a Santa Monica dj/producer, who is a master of experimental electronic music, he's released an amazing 8 full length albums in the past 10 years, and i am pleased to share them with you now. He loves the aesthetics of the 19th century dandyists, which shows in both his music and his period costumes. His music is a form of abstract hip-hop using alot of samples from the early 20th century, i.e. 30's or 40s pop, coupled with some inspiration from Drum and Bass and Dubstep. This guy just bleeds originality. One of the most amazing sounds of our generation, and if you get a chance to catch one of his epic live performances do, he's really into doing amazing, and most impressively improvised tricks on that monome of his.

Daedelus - Invention (The best of his early albums ,his first, amazing beats, sound defining album right here, you might recognize the song experience, cause MF Doom and (mostly) Madlib Sampled it for their song Accordion on the hip-hop masterpiece Madvillainy, PS. crack out the opium pipes for this one)

Daedelus - Rethinking the Weather (Cool, but doesn't hold up to invention, or his later releases, but nonetheless a really good collection of beats.)

Daedelus - Of Snowdonia (the most laidback of his album's, though very nice, it's probably my least favorite, some real gems on it are Pocket Watch Pulse, Taking Wing, and Telling Meaning)

Daedelus - A Gent Agent (Has some of the most awesome DnB tracks on it i.e. Am Scray and Turncoats in Tourniquets)

Daedelus - Exquisite Corpse (At this point he's really found his sound, and as such this is the first of a new level for him which is continued in the the following releases. Hip-hop defines this album, but like hip-hop from another time, has some very exciting guest features including none other than TTC, Prefuse 73, and MF Doom, This along with the next two are highly recommended.) 

Daedelus - Denies the Day's Demise (Love the artwork, Little Nemo in Slumberland, this album is definitely my favorite of his, just epitomizes his aesthetic, listen to all the way through, it will not disappoint, highlights are Sundown, At my Heels, and Like Clockwork Springs, simply astounding dreamy electronic straight from la belle époque)

Daedelus - Love to Make Music to (the danciest of his albums, fair weather friends, i took two, and Hrs:Mins:Secs, make this a must have. Highly recommended)

Even if you can't get them all now(which is why i did the little reviews) you will want all of these at somepoint.

In a related incident, Saw this guy at a persian restaurant down the street from me last week, ahhhh chops des muttons!
