The Pleasures of Impending Doom
.jpg)
Yesterday was Surkin's birthday and I wanted to have a serious chat with him regarding his future with the company, the wealth of untapped potential he was squandering, his chronic inability to get a haircut in time, missed deadlines, and, oh, possible forthcoming recordings, of course. Then I forgot. And today, I'm thinking, didn't I have better to do? What good is a birthday if you're not posting embarrassing pictures? The one above is certainly gruesome, if only for the company the young man keeps in his free time, but also because posture- and hairstyle-wise, he's obviously aping this guy:
arguably one of the best dance producers in recent times. What gall! Anyways. I also have this one, a useful reminder of the fleeting nature of youth:
In other, less crucial news, we're hard at work on Next of Kin (Mark II), with remixes and versions from Chromeo, Blaqstarr, Bobmo and more. Watch this space for more news.
PS: A video interview with the boy HERE (it's in French but then you can see he's not a chronic stammerer) interspersed with his set at Le Printemps de Bourges, where he clearly killed it.
FEATURED: The Institubes Blog Is On Fire Lately: New Videos + More
There are many reasons we love having our friends at Institubes blogging and repping their label on RCRD LBL. Not only do they hit us with great exclusives (see last week's jam from Cuizinier featuring Spank Rock and Pase Rock below) and drop lines like "dyed-in-the-wool literary folks" in their blog posts, they also post up great videos every week. Check out a brand new one featuring the gang throwing down some jams in Geneva, Switzerland using le link below. It's mildly psychedelic, so watch out!

More moving images, and much more to come, I'm afraid, what with our Parisian birthday bash recap and Alizée x David Rubato's promo video, and, and, and, Para One's video diary, featuring the whole Terror Club at their most retarded and lyrical, demonstrating there is meaning in madness. And to think that we started out as dyed-in-the-wool literary folks. What happened?

DOWNLOAD: Kids on TV - Cockwolves (Mind Transit Remix)
First of all, it's kinda made our day that we get to feature a song called "Cockwolves." F* yeah. But more importantly, it gives us great pleasure to introduce Toronto's Kids On TV. Imagine a brasher, co-ed version of Datarock, hyped up on energy drinks, spitting out punk lyrics over techno pulses. There are wolf cries on "Cockwolves". Meanwhile "Raw Raw Raw" (Kids on TV vs. Glamor Soundsystem) has an addictive Justice-esque 'new french touch' edge- filled with 1980's electro-house glitches, laser zaps, rap-speak....and....cowbell.
Crazy Facts about Kids On TV??
1) Two of the members met while performing burlesque.
2) They perform crazy live shows in weird places like steambathes (and have performed with artists like Ladytron, Crystal Castles and Dandi Wind).
3) They proudly call their music "queercore punk" and rumor is myspace tried to censor their site once. It didn't go over well.
4) Two members go by "Minus Smile" and "Wolf" so we really don't know what to believe. Regardless, we dig it and want to hear more.
SOUNDS LIKE: Justice, Dandi Wind, Datarock.
