For ages this was only available through Myspace. Now the guys have signed a deal with Dim Mak Records, I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more official releases where this came from.

The ‘Cherry’ EP is available now on iTunes.

Sampling is a rarely used talent these days. It doesn’t take much to grab an old favourite 70’s Funk/Soul track and turn it into a modern day success, and this is exactly what I like about the LoFi Samurai.

Hailing from west Germany, the violent twosome have been creating this form of ‘filter tech house’ for quite some time now. I was hugely taken aback by their contribution to French compilation ‘Boxon Makes Me Happy‘ (also featuring Stereoheroes and Mustard Pimp, Gooseflesh and Neo Tokyo among others) titled ‘Butz!’

The track in question is absolutely fantastic, it’s got a super funky hook-line with that solid bass riff which you just want to poplock to. I love the build up towards the end and it all just winds up to an astounding finish. Some say sampling is just lazy and uncreative, I say when done right, it can be just as creative as the original product. Get on it kids.

The LoFi Samurai are featured on the Boxon Records label showcase ‘Boxon Makes Me Happy’ which is available now on 12″ and MP3 via all good outlets.

Two massive remixes from Will Smith’s long-dead musical past have popped out of thin air recently, and I actually quite like them.

The first is an in-your-face, glitch-rave slashup by Mustard Pimp of France. The second is a recent, unprompted bootleg by Laidback Luke of the man’s 1998 smash hit, ‘Miami’.

Will Smith, cool or not cool?

Women that like sitting on curbs smoking the ‘cigarettes’, eating ‘McDonalds’, and looking at bottles of ‘Smirnoff’.

These species are red blooded and only come out at night.

They like to sing covers of old ‘Depeche Mode’ tracks, a popular music act from the late 80s.

If you put ‘Smirnoff’ into your phones predictive text, it says ‘poisoned’.

They have all recently been courted by ‘Designer Drugs’. I heard there was a little bit of a drama, but not too much.

‘Designer Drugs’ are from New York and have done remixes for popular music acts such as ‘Tigersapian’, ‘Little Boots’, ‘IAMX’ and ‘Red Blooded Women’.

They also have a self produced track called ‘Zombies!’ which was used at the beginning of an earlier ‘Mustard Pimp’ mixtape, it is good.

I like this video, it shows that not even major pop starlets are 100% about their lives and careers.

I think the word is ‘modest’ ?
