Riddims

I can't remember how I came across this "dude", but it seemingly happened.  That happens often when I am indiscriminately surfing the webs. (I feel like someday soon that phrase "surfing the web" will become extinct.  Its already endangered.  Google is damaging our fabricated internet vocabulary environment/economy. Maybe not?) Nonetheless, I find myself frustrated, sweaty and exhausted, having blacked-out for the last thirty minutes with nothing to show for my time, except two half-read articles on The Economist, half a liter of undigested milk, apparently, waging a battle in my upper intestines and some strange hipster/electronic artist staring at me as if he is about to hunt and eat me like a tiger from out of my browser screen.

Either way, somehow, I came across dj/producer Myd.

Straight from French label Club Cheval's website:

"Myd is a fresh young Dj and producer based in Lille, France. Discovered by the Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team, Myd is playlisted by the biggest names in the techno/electro field. Mixing African rhythms and techno melodies, Myd is producing some high quality and funny tracks. So far Myd has been remixing bands like Dakunt, Maskinen or We Are Enfant Terrible. Myd’s tracks are recognized as top dancefloor tunes by numerous Djs such as Brodinski, Sinden, Radioclit or even Solo. Myd is currently working on new tunes and he will certainly conquer your heart and your feet."

From out of the Ashes

As you may have heard, Teki Latex's label, Institubes, is no longer. After producing albums for electro celebrities Bobmo, Para One, Surkin and Midnight Juggernauts over the past seven years, they are closing up shop.

Enter Marble Players. Their new website gives a sneak peak into their origins:

"As you probably heard recently, Marble is a new dance label launched by Para One, Surkin and Bobmo. We already told you these three have began sharing recording space less than a year ago, and soon spent some time jamming and producing together. Surkin and Bobmo already had their High Powered Boys project, but this new unit, christened Marble Players, is a bit more hardware-oriented, and involves multiple analog/digital mutations ; a typical day in the studio would be Bobmo coming up with a vocal digital sample, then Para replaying it on his SP12, then giving it back to Surkin so he can add his own Reason-based beats – you get the picture. Generally, there’s a just a strong taste for manipulating sound as a physical thing in the way Marble Players play."
