A-Trak gave us a heads up on this teaser for Sebastian Ingrosso‘s world tour. He’s got a new EP and future tour videos coming soon.
Jess & Crabbe….hard to put into words how influential they were on us. Their sound reached beyond the frontiers of house music. Inspired by hip-hop, reggae, Chicago house, with a punk attitude. A little background for those who may not be familiar:
Jess experimented in punk, reggae sound systems and raves before diving into Chicago house while Crabbe was into rap, hip hop, and jungle. They formed “Hometown”, a DJ collective that rocked clubs such as the infamous Rex Club in Paris. Shortly after Crabbe worked with Daft Punk on ‘Oh Yeah’ off of the historic “Homework” album, they bought some machines and started to produce tracks. After releasing ten epic 12’’s together, they unfortunately went their separate ways.
Amongst the the original material on the legendary Fiat Lux Recordings label and remixes Jess & Crabbe blessed us with between 1999 and 2001 they put together a series of four mixtapes (yes, actual tapes…and we have all of them) called the “Demolition Tapes.” Our friends at Flou Kids gave us a heads up that they not only did a DJ date together in January but are reviving the mixtape series and we couldn’t be happier. Christmas has come early!

It features a slew of his remixes, original tracks under The Count & Sinden name as well as Hervé’s other alter egos (Action Man, Young Lovers, Dead Soul Brothers and Voodoo Chilli). The guy just keeps pumping out project after project. Mr. Harvey has a busy 2009 ahead of him with The Count & Sinden album being released through Domino and a second Machines Don’t Care album in the pipeline.
