Chip Banger Records: Exactly What You Think It Is

A long time ago we posted a little something on the line between 8bit music and electro being blurred by a handful of young talents. Today's post is about how one particular artist, Bleepshift, has done just that... in a slightly different way that we might have anticipated here at Technocracy Music. This French 8bit producer has remade three of the most recognizable tracks of the French-electro legends: Sebastian (Kavinsky), Mr. Oizo, and Justice into a compilation adequately named Chip Banger Records Vol 1. Below you will find the link to his version of Oizo's Pourriture 7, which is simply great if you are down for a different take on the classic. Oizo 8bit? check it out! I mean, if you are actually reading this far into the post you are probably interested.

Also check out the rest of the compilation at Bleepshift's bandcamp page, and do be cheap and pay up some cash for the tracks (including the better quality version of the above mentioned track as well as Kavinsky's Testarossa remixed by Sebastian and Justice's Phantom pt. 1). Bleepshift's album Phase One is also noteworthy and available on his bandcamp page. Come on listen to it, give those Game Boy tracks a chance.

More EdBanger: Cassius Video + Free App

A while back we posted on The Rawkers EP by the legendary duo Cassius on the epic French label we all know and love, Ed Banger Rec. Yesterday the video for I <3 U So came out and we are making sure you don't miss it. You might see some familiar faces and at times feel like you are watching an iPhone commercial, but hey the video is pretty cool and you can download that app here in case you want to make your own video or something.

EdBanger news:


And as you probably know this Past Hard Haunted Mansion had some of the best Ed Banger names in their line-up: Busy P, SebastiAn and Mr. Oizo. Sadly, for all those that made it to one of the best places to be at in the world for the night of the dead, Mr. Oizo could not make it because of some apparent visa issues. For the rest of us who didn't make it, and who were blasting Oizo's tracks that reminded us bitterly that we were missing the French legend, this news are a bit appeasing (forgive the honesty). Anyways, apparently SebastiAn made up a bit for his absence, check him out dropping Positif.



Still, we all here at TechnocracyMusic wished we were there.

Final Headbang

Irish Steph is a 19 year old French and Half Irish producer who is definitely not afraid to bang your head. Irish Steph already has big support from some huge names such as SebastiAn, Kavinsky and The Bloody Beetroots, who have all found room in their playlists for Irish Steph. His EP, Power droped today, vinyl only, and comes out next monday the 27 on all the usual digital platforms. I definitely recommend giving both the original and the Belgian duo VNNR's bangin' remix of a fully massive track a listen below.
Tracklist for Irish Steph's "Power EP":
01. Power Part 1
02. Power Part 2 (Original Mix)
03. IRA’s Tweed
04. Leprechauns Love Disco
05. Power Part 2 (VNNR Remix)
06. Leprechauns Love Disco (Pulpalicious Remix)
07. Leprechauns Love Disco (NEUS Remix)
08. Leprechauns Love Disco (Deluce Remix)

Bonus - This is sort of Half Irish, Half French as well because below we have the Irish duo Arveene & Misk remixing French legend Mr. Oizo's "Erreur Jean". This track is taken from Mr. Oizo's Pourriture EP, if you haven't heard this EP I definitely recommend you pick it up by following the link, I personally like the EP more than Oizo's Lambs Anger LP, well maybe not but still it is by far Ed Banger's best EP in my humble opinion. Check it out. Also, Arveene & Misk have just dropped a new single titled Eavesdropper, if you like what you hear grab it on all usual digital platforms.

Rubber Pt. 2: Rubber EP

*Yeah, Busy P cameo! The song in this clip is POLOCAUST from the Rubber EP.

Okay so the Rubber EP leaked today and I couldn't help but post a few songs. Firstly because its so good, secondly because I thought I was gonna have to wait 2 more weeks to hear this yesterday and finally because It's the first new track from Augé I've herd in over a year, What!?!?! The title track "Rubber" is too damn good and blends the style and vibe of Mr. Oizo and Justice perfectly, like bleepy, glitchy, chopped up, funky ass house and melodic heavy metal... with horns (the Flying Lotus Remix is very good as well). The other two tracks sound more like a movie score than dance floor bangers but have such a strong Justice vibe it feels like Oizo has been possessed by the ghost of De Rosnay. Check out "Tricycle Express" to see what I mean, sounds almost like Planisphere Pt. 2, not very characteristic of Oizo's style at all. However the Rubber EP is amazing and a must have, check it out below and like I a said in the last post, the full EP drops on the 14th on Ed Banger Records, make sure you pick it up.

Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Augé - Rubber (Original Mix)*****Yeah baby, Augé and Oizo are back!

Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Augé - Tricycle Express****Sounds more like Justice is back.

Rubber: Soundtrack Teaser by Mr. Oizo and Gaspard Augé

Quentin Dupieux is a world renown musician and filmmaker from France who most know by the name Mr. Oizo. Mr. Oizo is currently working on his second feature length film Rubber, which boasts a soundtrack produced by Gaspard Augé (1/2 of Justice) and Mr. Oizo himself. Augé and Ed Banger Records head Pedro Winter AKA Busy P also make cameo appearances in the film which as far as I can tell is about a tire that comes to life and starts killing people, Awesome! So you are not excited by the fact that Mr. Oizo and Gaspard will produce a completely original soundtrack for Oizo's new film than check out this teaser for the soundtrack.

If that still hasn't got you hyped consider that in November Justice made a statement to Mix Mag saying that they wouldn't begin work on their new album until Rubber's Soundtrack was completed. Also, Mr. Oizo's new full length album titled 2010 will not be released until Rubber. So really the release of this film means not only a new album by Oizo and Gaspard but also that new Justice and Mr. Oizo's 2010 is just around the corner!

This soundtrack teaser has made Rubber coupled with upcoming release of Tron: Legacy which will be scored by Daft Punk just too much cinematic excitement for me to handle. If you're like me and can't deal with the wait for this theatrical glory check out Steak, Mr. Oizo's first feature film for which he produced the soundtrack with another French House giant, SebastiAn and French Singer/Songwriter Sebastien Tellier. The music for Steak, is phenomenal and the film itself is very weird but also very cool. SebastiAn is also currently working on a New LP and, according to Busy P, is also currently working on producing yet another soundtrack for Romain Gavras' new full length feature film, TOO EXCITING!

You can head over to the official website for Rubber and check out the trailer and some scenes from the film.

The above video soundtrack teaser features snippets the following songs:

“POLOCAUST”
“RUBBER”
“TRICYCLE EXPRESS”
“RUBBER” Flying Lotus unprotected sex mix
SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE JULY 14th on Ed Banger records

Mr. Oizo - Nazis (Justice Remix) *****Hopefully this is the sound of Rubber

Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Augé - Rubber Soundtrack Teaser (Youtube Rip) ****This is definitely satisfactory though ;)
