So it seems that everyone, and their dealer, are creaming their pants due to the highly anticipated Miss Kitting «comeback» …
Well, not that I want to piss on any parade … but please … you know what I mean?
First we had Miss Kittin & The Hacker «Hometown». Huge yawn!
And now, big arty fanfare, Miss Kittin «Kittin Is High».
As some would say; «it has a certain naïve charm … But no muscles!»
I´m not a hater – promise … But that whole i-am-tired-of-life-and-i-write-absurd-lyrics-and-i-can-just-talk-over-
this-beat-as-long-as-it-last-around-10 minutes-or-so is frankly not doing it for me. Although i´m dying to find out who hides behind the Black Labelle-name … They are fellow Norwegians I hear. Well, i´ll keep an eye open for them!
But why bitch about Kittin? I look forward to the album – that´s all I can say at this point.
So, I should end this post with some great music. And my ears can´t get enough of Xenia Beliayeva at the moment.
This is dark pop music ... pop that makes you look over your shoulder while dancing and having Pinhead trying to lure you away from the dancefloor ... «We have such sights to show you ...»
Check out these tracks and i´m sure you´ll feel the same way.

ROBOTS DANCING IN THE NIGHT
John Langdon and Katya Casio are Hong Kong Counterfeit. And they really was the sound of the future at the time when the hype called electroclash came down on us like a ton of bricks. Sure, we all still remember Fischerspooner`s «Emerge» and we still giggle along to Miss Kittin & The Hacker`s «Frank Sinatra».
But the one that still makes me dance and shake my head in a frenzy is Hong Kong Counterfeit`s amazing «Metal Disco» from 2000.
// Robots dancing in the night //
// Faces flash in neon lights //
// You know it's time to move your feet //
// To the Metal Disco beat //
But, dear punter, you´ll have to dig that one up yourself ... I want to share these gems with you. These are from the Hong Kong Counterfeit album «Counterparts» from 2004.
HONG KONG COUNTERFEIT «MAGNETIC SUPERFUTURE»
HONG KONG COUNTERFEIT «TELEVISION MAN»
AND THAT´S NOT ALL FOLKS!
John Langdon and Katya Casio are also known as `Lectronix.
... and if i have to choose ... i have to say `Lectronix is my favourite project by John Langdon and Katya Casio.
I mean ... just listen to «Windowshopping In The Mirror»
... you know what i mean? Yes ..?
// I can´t resist the sweet temptetion //
// I want to feel the sweet sensation //
// No other feeling can compare to this //
// Just watch the mirror in a state of bliss //
// Step in my room and you can do it to //
// This windowshopping is for me and you //

R U ON THE LIST ...? HELL YEAH ...
So Norway´s top 50 dj´s have been selected by the public, or rather clubbers and such.
The Top 50 Djs Poll was hosted by the free paper Natt&Dag and now the verdict is out.
Norway´s best dj is G-HA – and too bloody right as well! Respect!
I made the 32 spot. And i´m just surprised that i even made the list ... Thax to all my friends who voted!
The best bit of the list is how they describe each dj`s style.
I fell to the ground and just rolled around laughing when i read the description on my style of music. I could never come up with this myself – but i promise you: i will use this when i promote myself. It´s genius and totally on the spot, if you ask me ...
32. Dj Deadswan
Style: «DIY-aesthetics, neon colours, fetish, arpeggio-synth and punk bass, callously vocals about cynical sexuality, gender bending, drugs and alienation.»
I rest my case punters ...!

DANCING LAUGHING DRINKING LOVING
Just a quickie folks...
Two favourite tracks of mine and a short, instant mix featuring two of the Soft Cell remixes from the forthcoming remix album. Enjoy!
«DANCING LAUGHING DRINKING LOVING» COVER
DJ DEADSWAN «DANCING LAUGHING DRINKING LOVING»
PLUNDERSONICS «MUTANTS HERE I AM»
Plundersonics are Thies Mynther and Melissa Logan, from Chicks on Speed, and this tune was made for the Commodore 64-album «Input 64». Very fun, catchy and works well even if you, like me, never had any interest at all for computor games ...
PLUNDERSONICS «MUTANTS HERE I AM»
SEXUAL HARASSMENT «IF I GAVE YOU A PARTY»
This was released in 1983, but featured on Gomma’s «Anti-NY» compilation from 2000 which promoted new interest in the disco-not-disco sound.
Is it out of key, is it just pure madness? Maybe ... but either way it throws you around and causes huge amounts of instant pleasure and excitement!
