MXPN

The other day I stumbled over this great feel-good track called "Club Ace" by someone named MXPN. With its stripped down sound consisting of a smooth melody with sort of a fairytale-vibe combined with minimalistic basslines really caught my attention.

As usual when I discover a track that I like I started to look for more songs by the producer and some background information about him/her. Well, this was a lot harder then I thought. After scanning Google, the MXPN Facebook group and Soundcloud profile I could summarize the information like this: Two guys from Gothenburg, Sweden. Not much to write a blog post about, right?

Anyhow, at least I could find another couple of tracks that I really liked, all released in the past three months. This indicates that the duo MXPN probably started producing recently.



Maybe I didn´t just stumble over a great track, perhaps MXPN will have a breakthrough in 2013 and become the producers on everyone’s lips. In that case, don´t forget who wrote about them first!

Cheers!

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs aka Orlando Higginbottom, currently signed by the classic record label "Polydor" is a British DJ, producer and vocalist. He is often referred to as the guy with the odd costumes, however there is a lot more to him than just the costumes.

His debut album “Trouble” was released on June 11^th 2012. The album contained amazing tracks such as Trouble, Household Goods, Stronger, Tapes & Money and one of my all time favorite, Garden.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) has a unique sound that is extremely hard to define in just words. A huge variety of House, Electro, dub-step and dance elements are put together in a most original way, creating a mixture of heavy bass lines and catchy melodies. TEED is for sure one of the most interesting artist of the entire electronic music scene.



Further, he is one of the best, if not the best, live performer I have ever witnessed. He bounces frantically between laptops, keyboards, drum machines and samplers while providing live vocals, often together with the female vocalist Luisa Gerstein. This creates a massive euphoria amongst the audience, while TEED radiates a huge amount of energy. The extreme variety of musical impressions combined with the visual impact of pyrotechnics, lasers and LED-screens together with TEEDs awesome dinosaur and Native American influenced costumes, results in a show refined into total perfection.



As you might understand from this blog entry, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaur have had an enormous impact on me during the last two years, and I hope that his songs will have the same effect on you guys!

Cheers!
