Visceral, impressive, intriguing and 100% narcissistic, Intel’s ‘Museum of Me’ is the best alternative to those ridiculous Facebook apps that offer to reveal ‘Who stalks your page?’ and ‘Your best friends’.
The best part is that it won’t automatically post the damn thing to your profile, and neither will it post a broken video link to a random selection of your friends on Facebook promoting a Myer gift card.

Moonchild

Sydney-based spaceman Antoine Lunaire, aka Moonchild has the whole ‘French-but-not-really’ thing going on, with his own brand of Electro Disco beats that have definite flavours of Louis Laroche, Thomas Bangalter and Alan Braxe worked in. Check his remixes as well. If you’re someone who generally dislikes remixes on principle, just get over it, and take a listen.

[Out April 11th] Moonchild - Love Birds EP + Remixes by Moonchild

SebastiAn

The highly anticipated full-length release from French bad boy SebastiAn. 

With entree release ‘Embody’ served up about 2 months ago, the release certainly keeps with the dirty-funky-dramatic electro reputation that EdBanger records have established for themselves over the years. 

We (I) can now only hope that Breakbot decides to follow suit and release his own (well overdue) debut LP. 

SebastiAn - Total Album by MonsieurX

Happy 1st day of Summer, Northern Hemisphere.

For everyone else, go and enjoy some wintery delights.

And for all people of all nations, enjoy this remix of Ellie Goulding by Dead Cat Bounce.

Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk visualised

Must watch for Daft Punk fans, visual design fans, or both. The two seem to be quite synonymous anyway.

Ume Kayo/2nd Birthday

I bought one of Ume Kayo’s books as a gift today. My standard procedure for books as gifts is to at least flick through them to check that the book fulfils the basic criteria for a gift - fun, irrelevant and destined for the coffee table. I did indeed flip through Kayo’s ‘Today’s Happening: Ume-Me’, and ended up going through to the end.

There something about every photo that strikes you, for want of a better cliche. 

Also, my blog turns 2 this month. I feel somehow that 2nd birthdays don’t even hold a candle to 1st birthdays. Nonetheless, here’s to 2 years of The Duke, despite the last 3 months being void of activity.

What I’m dancing to:

I love Feist, and this is one of my favourite tracks of hers.

I’ve also recently gotten into Chromeo and their jumpy 80s disco feel.

Its a volatile mix.

Field Day 2011

Highlights
Chromeo, almost soley because of P-Thugg and his talkbox.
The water walkway. Best way to cool down a billion people quickly.
Erol Alkan. Genius behind the decks.
Justice. Flipping Justice.
Lowlights
Too many brilliant artists packed into one festival. You can’t possibly get round to all of them.
Klaxons. Wrong stage, wrong set time, wrong volume, wrong set length.
Horrendous crowds. People on pills, girls on shoulders in front you, sleazy security guards, tart french. Spare me.
Having my Wayfarers stolen.
