Danger

The Horse Meat Disco compilation was released a couple of weeks ago and you can find it on vynil, cd or even online. I've already got my vynil copy and also bought it online, but the only differences are like two or three songs in the tracklist. Anyway the compilation is great for disco lovers, a lot of dance floor classics are there as well as some more rare tracks.

For this week I've selected Gregg Diamond's "Danger" which was out in 1979 on TK Records with "Stand Up and Dance"as the b side. This tracks is straight up disco with a great bass line and vocals that will make you want to dance. Remember to buy this compilation before it gets sold out it's totally worth it.

This New Technology

One of the Best Australian acts from 07-08 was definetely The Midnight Juggernauts, and now they are back with a digital release of their single of This New Technology. They are releasing a limited edition 7" on Acéphale Records (SALEM, Air France, Memory Tapes), available for pre-order now.

This track is just what would you expect from them cosmic synths to the easy vocals in the chorus and definetely the drums. Let's wait for the release of the new album and see how much they evolved, but for now enjoy the track.

The Melbourne trio will be making a brief trip to the US this October, showcasing new material from their forthcoming album (due early 2010). We'll keep you posted.

Untitled Love

I know that the Neon crew has been away for a while, summer, in my case moving from Mexico City to NYC, and I know that there are a lot of reasons that we can list but they won't make up for lost time, so now we are going to give you the quality and the quantity that you deserve. Changing the subject into a less dramatic one, DFA's Still Going is back and after giving us great dance floor moments with "Still Going Theme" two years ago, their new 12" just got out a couple of weeks ago and it's amazing. It has two tracks "Untitled Love" which is the one that you're going to enjoy today and it has an instrumental version as well, the other side contains Spaguetti Circus which is nothing but a dance floor monster.

We totally recommend you to get the 12" at your favorite record store or buy it online on emusic, juno or your most preferred online site. Remember to always support the artist, here we give you just a glimpse of what the albums are but you should spent some dollars to get the whole picture.

Here is "Untitled Love" and as a bonus i'm giving you the Instrumental Version.

James Yuill

This time is turn for James Yuill, an interesting artist which brings folk/pop and electronic music together with a fresh proposal, he had his debut album "Turning Down Water for Air" out on Moshi Moshi Records on 2008 which has received nothing but good critics. This year he got lucky to be picked and edited by Balearic master Prins Thomas."This Sweet Love" was the chosen one and I have listened to it several time but the truth is that while I was stucked in the traffic jam and it just pop up in my stereo I just realize the greatness of it, that's why I want you to listen to it and be embraced by it as I was this very morning.

You can find it on the Kitsune Maison Compilation #7 or mixed in the Live at Robert Johnson Vol. 2 by Prins Thomas. Go out there and buy the records! hope that you enjoy this as much as theneonrider does.

Icasol

Last week was kind of busy for me, I was feeling all stressed out and I was looking for something to calm me down, make me feel comfortable and looking through my music I found the perfect formula for what I needed, a track that has been for a while in theneonrider music library but that I haven't heard in months. This track released November last year on the high quality label Claremont 56 is called "Ongou" by Icasol and it's remixed by one of the finest acts out there, Idjut Boys.

I don't want to bore you with too much information, I just want to let you know that this track is pure beauty, a work of art for you to close your eyes, relax and then fly off to your favorite destination.

DISTRICT 9

One of my first posts for The Neon Rider, was about one of my favorite directors out there, Neil Blomkamp. The trailer of his new feature film "District 9" produced by Peter Jackson is out, and it looks amazing, it just leaves you wanting more. If your familiar with his work, you'll notice that the storyline is pretty similar of Alive in Joberg.

I hope you enjoy it and if you want to go back in time and check my Neil's post go here.

Oh and did we mention it includes Don Diablo, Russ Chimes & Hot Pink Delorean Remixes?



This rock/pop song with its' dancey drums and synth lines will probably make you dance and headbang singing along with the guys and the characteristic voice of Little Boots.

We Got Time

Maybe it's too early to show you another video but I was blown away by the Moray McLaren video of "We Got Time".

It's all about the "back to basics", the techinque David Wilson masters it's so great and he takes it to another level. The blending of the music with the visuals, help the story telling really well and it seems the visuals take over the song but at the end its a perfect blend of art. I really love pre-cinema optical toys - kinetoscopes, zoetropes, magic lanterns, and the praxinoscopes (featured on the video).

Everything was made in camera, believe it or not. Please watch in on HD, and I'll leave the making of video too. (go to the youtube link beacuse is on wide screen and you might been missing the right side of the frame)

Visual Again

I haven't post any motion graphics in a while, but today I found something worth posting.

Masa Nakamura is a multidisciplinary designer and animator who doesn’t pigeon hole himself into a single approach to solving his creative problems. Whether it be traditional 2d graphics, stop motion puppetry or painting on glass, Masa is willing to explore any medium necessary to get his message across.

This piece was created by Masayoshi Nakamura and Magico Nakamura created for the Adobe Records video competition. Great way of combining different technics, to entertain and show something beautiful. Watch it on HD if you can.




And as a double gift I'm going to leave you with a great old tune from 1976 by the great Boney M. a track that will make you dream as an 8 mm film.

Ma Baker - Boney M.

Some Easter Goodies!

Hey! I know theneonrider crew has not been around and we are truly sorry for that, we've been really busy but to make it up to you here are some easter presents. DFA, one of the most influencial labels around right now and of course one of our favorites, has given use acts that we won't forget or that has been our favorites for some years now, but they also have new talents that are not that mainstream and that only gem finders are aware of their existence. This is why TNR is giving you some of this new names for you to go and buy all their records.

Im not going to go all biographical on you because we know that you have the idea of what DFA is all about, so I'll just mention that some of these releases are brand new and others from last year, in case you don't know any of them all are guaranteed as gems. Also some of them were released on Death from Abroad the european extension for DFA and others with a collaboration with Rong Music. Great acts such as Rub n' Tug, Prins Thomas, Barfly, Emperor Machine, and others put their hands on some of these releases but you would only get them at full quality if you buy them, so after you listen to this tunes go to your favorite online or physical store and spend those benjamins, euros, pounds or whatever your currency is. Support the artists!


Capracara - King of Witches


Yacht - I'm In Love With a Ripper (Party Mix)


Cage & Aviary - Television Train


Free Blood - Grumpy (Greg Wilson Version)
