I hope no one missed out on that the new Renaissance Man EP “What Is Guru/Aloha” is out on Sound Pellegrino (if you been living under a rock, go get it here).
Here is what Teki wrote in the promotext for the showcase night in Paris this Friday with Renaissance Man, Laidback Luke and Teki Latex:
“It doesn’t take an expert to notice that, in the last few months, a new musical family has built itself on the ruins of loud big beat-like fidget and overly distorted washing machine-electro.
Inspired by the “less is more” ethics of minimal techno as much as the DIY/”sample-anything-as-long-as-it’s-got-attitude” philosophy of hip-hop, this new unnamed form of groovy and refreshing house music is rising and Sound Pellegrino is proud to be at the forefront of such an exciting phenomenon.
In the wake of their acclaimed Dubsided hit EP “Spraycan”, with Kitsune and Deadfish releases already buzzing and the whole dance music world wanting a piece of them in 2009, Finnish duo Renaissance Man deliver a massive EP for Sound Pellegrino which promises to catch the ear of an insanely wide spectrum of audiences, confirming their status of most exciting new house act of the year.
It is quite hard to resist the catchiness of the tongue-in-cheek vocal sample in “What Is Guru”, and even your mother will soon ask you to burn her a CD of “that Krishna song” you play all the time. But once the novelty’s gone, the thing that makes “What Is Guru” an ultimate club hit is the impeccable and original production, serving a groove reminiscent of Akufen’s early radio-chopping work. It’s so good that Riva Starr, a fan of the early demo version of the original, and one of artists who helped define this new sound we keep writing about, made us the honor to provide an infectious percussive remix which will prove itself more than useful for DJs who aren’t feeling the whole vocal/spiritual breakdown thing. “Aloha” and its accompanying dub are equally as lethal on dancefloors, perpetuating the tradition of tribal, menacing post-Baltimore Sound Pellegrino riddims installed by Zombie Disco Squad’s “Eurovision”.
We said we weren’t gonna give it a name, but if “sparse house music with conceptual samples” is an army, then Renaissance Man are the most devoted soldiers who become generals in the middle of the movie.

Mr Riva Starr just twittered about this video. Here he blends his rechunk of the Solid Groove track “This is Sick” with a Richie Hawtin acappella.
We found this track from Riva Starr laying around on the internet somewhere. Since it’s been a while since we had any The Doors tracks up, we thought we’d share the link.
The Radioclit “Secousse 2″ remix EP was just released on Mental Groove Records, it’s a mighty package that features the All Stars Vocal version + dub and remixes from juke legend Gant-Man, French wonder Brodinski, Italian/British master Riva Starr, the Swiss heroes Wildlife and Round Table Knights + Mad Decents very own Paul Devro! To celebrate the release, they’re giving away some unreleased mixes of the track. First out is this bleepy yet still with that tropical flavour version by Etan (AKA Shuttle, Ninja Tune)
You should also try to get your mitts on the deluxe fur & limited numbered vinyl edition (of 500) which can be found exclusively here.
