Pfadfinderei & Modeselektor - Labland DVD

via Boomkat:
"Absolutely immense DVD package from acclaimed Berlin design house Pfadfinderei, the people responsible for Bpitch Control's graphic design and, in particular, working closely with the unstoppable Modeselektor. Labland features over an hour of completely exclusive music from Modeselektor - a visual music album pioneering a tight combination of music, film & graphic design in mindboggling ways. The emphasis here, of course, is on tight edits both in terms of visual and audio editing, squashed rhythms, bass, shapes & colours, inventing a new kind of synchronicity. Pfadfinderei distort, twist and warp space in response to Modeselektor's mashed-up samples and low-end heavy backdrops, an absolutely deadly mix. Easily the best DVD we've seen of its kind, for all intents and purposes a brand new Modeselektor album given an extra dimension or two, all recorded in beautifully crisp 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound. A massive recommendation!!!!"

Watch "Labland" in a 9-part playlist (the first of which is below) or buy the Labland DVD here and enjoy it in all its beauty.

Beat Dimensions Vol 2

Beat Dimensions is a perfect name for this comp because it's like an alternate beat reality. I guess people have been saying that about the Wonky style for a while now (wtf is everyone's problem with the word wonky, anyway??), but seriously, check out these tunes below and tell me you've heard something like them before.

My personal fav is Ras G's because it's funny, but all of them are heavyweight works.

I first got into Wonky thru Boomkat's 14 Tracks compilation series (highly recommended) back in December of '08 when they put out a Wonky comp that featured some tracks from the first Beat Dimension comp (Tom Trago, Cinnaman). This second compilation is much better though in my opinion. Here's some samples, you decide:


Zo Aka La Chauve-Souris - The Peacock Revolution


Ras G - Crazy Alien


Samiyam - Swamp Tarts


P.U.D.G.E. - Reign Dancing With the Stars


Nosaj Thing - Fwd


Mono Poly - Distant From


Mike Slott - Cadeting


Low Limit - Turf Day


Dorian Concept - Be Tween


Dizz1 - Konotakosuke Yaro


Dimlite - Ravemond's Young Problems


Exile - Super Robot
