"Sunglasses" Videoclip

Finally the video clip for LEG-NO & EMMA - Sunglasses feat. Tunde Olaniran is finished. It was worth waiting! Really nice pictures and a funny story about how much life is about image.

Here are some impressions shot by Randbezirk, our set photographer (if you watch closely you will see him in the video!)

Live Shows Part 6 //// Bottrop (D) //// 31.10.10

Kay Shanghai from Hotel Shanghai in Essen had the crazy idea to put up an outdoor festival at the end of October!
Today he invited a couple of artists to Schloss Beck, a fun park for children, very old fashioned and nice.I played along side acts like Aeroplane, Jimmy Edgar, The Juan MacLean, Freakatronic and many more!
Next to the music the second highlight were the joyrides. There was sun all day and I enjoyed the roller-coaster, water-slides etc. and went to the backstage in the heart of the old castle. Take a look at the pics and get an idea of the fun we had and see Grappy and his pony.

Music I like Part 10 - Tunde Olaniran

Tunde Olaniran (on the picture he is the guy in the lower left end talking to Amanda Blank) is definitely one of the most unique MCs out there. In Germany he was featured on two tracks by CLP and went on tour with them.

And he worked with xxXxx for one of their tracks. So I was very pleased he also joined in on Sunglasses with Leg-No.

Rapping all the way from Flint / Michigan he added a big verse to Sunglasses.

Also I would love to present some live footage so you can see his great stage dresses and performance, but since I have not been able to get hold of any videos, this is my favourite Tunde song instead:

Making of Part 3 - Sunglasses Shoot

So many great things are happening at the moment! A video clip was shot for the song Sunglasses by Leg-No and me with Tunde Olaniran. At the moment they cut it but still need to grade it and fix all the details. I am gonna post about the shooting in detail but to make you curios for more, here is a first picture of the shooting, taken by Randbezirk, my mate from our atelier. Hope it is finished soon!

Music I like Part 9 - French Fries

I promised to introduce all the remixing artists of the Sunglasses EP some time ago, recently I realized I am running late again!

Let's start off with French Fries!

This guy is only 18 and a killer already. He is in all the playlists; A-Trak (click the link to watch the video, if you watch careful you are going to see Leg-No & me), Brodinski etc. to name a few and for the last Mixmag Mixtape Calvin Harris picked his track Senta to be one of 13 songs.

Actually when this song was released some time ago, it was the first time I heard of French Fries. I came across this song on Myspace (no, myspace is not dead! not at all).

I am sure there is a lot more to come from this young French producer and I am really glad he was happy to remix Outdated!

Check the clip to find out more about him:

And be sure to check the remix he did of Outdated in a nice dj Set by Mat Cant:

New Song Part 7

Oh yes. Just a couple of days to go and my first 12" is going to be released on ITD. I teamed up with Italian born Leg-No for this joint. It is going to be called LEG-NO & EMMA - Sunglasses EP.

Sunglasses features Tunde Olaniran and remixes were delivered by French Fries, Mowgli and Phon.o. I am going to introduce them to you in my blog in the next weeks if you don't know them yet.

The release date will be 16.07.2010 on vinyl and digital too!

Here is the titel track for your listening pleasure.

And to have something for your iPod too, Mendel remixed one of the tracks for you.

He is a fresh and hot producer from Tel Aviv. Watch out for his other tracks! LEG-NO & EMMA - Outdated (Mendel remix) by ITD_Music

Music I like Part 8 - Zebra Baby

It is time for a new release on my label, ITD. This time they are coming along with Zebra Baby, two MCs from NY that teamed up with swiss producer Christian Fischer to record the magnificent W.A.R. EP. One of the singers, Char is best known from Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler". My favourite tune on the 12" is "Jumbo". When the beat kicks in it feels like you got to smash something. But all of the songs are great. The remixer names read like some producer toplist, Schlachthofbronx, Chris de Luca and Boody B.

I remember the first time I listened to the Schlachthofbronx Remix of +1 on a massive club pa was after my show in Plauen. Kit Kut played the tune and I was drawn out of the backstage onto the dancefloor by the kickdrum.

This record is a winner for me!
