Hi
Cotton & Gin, it turns out, are #26 on the Ourstage Electronica chart. They'd like to be #1 and possibly win $5000 (if they win the judge battle thing- not sure how that works).
They signed up as Patine Niore (for some reason, not as Cotton & Gin) so...
Look, please just go listen, vote as you see fit (although thumbs up with the little heart would be cool!)

Tiana and Blue Man group

2009-09-29T06:44:00.000-07:00

The best feedback we've gotten so far for Anse La Raye
"I'm sorry but this is no where near Lissette Melendez & Daft Punk. It's more like Tiana meets the Blue Man Group.

Sorry but you guys really need to know what's out there before you come into the dance scene because these is slightly dated material"

To quote Karl - "Who knew DJs could be so bitchy." (Karl said this with no trace of irony people).

Anse La Raye Out today!

2009-09-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

Anse La Raye is now out on Amazon

you can hear the track:

Caution, lame ass remixers at work!

2009-09-22T06:55:00.000-07:00

Karl and I are whoring ourselves out to any damn random remix contest we can find-
To date we've started (and almost ruinded, I mean done) remixes for Ladyhawk's "Delirium" and uh, Madonna (?)"Paparazzi"
Oh wait, I mean Lady Ga Ga.

Actually truth be told, the vocals on the Lady ga Ga song are really good. We started out the remix acapella just so people can hear how good they sound.
Really (no irony or snakryness meant here).

-Jen

We are not good at sitting still. While the whole Mac Book thing had us down, we have put it behind us. We got a new hard drive and are back up and running. Meanwhile while we wait for the neew album (see below) to come out and get into trouble with iTunes, we are busy working on a follow up.

By busy we mean we have designed the cover. No music yet (please! as if...) just the cover.
The quote is from Shostakovich. Look it up.

So here are three covers we threw together with pics we stole from Flikcr...

new track for you to heeeeeer, new EP progress

2009-05-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

OK, so let's get the good stuff out of the way frist - new track, now called "Steely" probably to be called "Last Night on the Club Crawl" or something.

So we have almost finished mixing the new Garland Cult remix and also have about 5 tracks for the new EP - which will hopefully be up by the middle of June. It is called "Platine Stereophonique" Neat huh?

-Jena und Karl

We're remixing The Garland Cult

2009-05-08T06:52:00.000-07:00

We're hard at work on a remix for the Garland Cult track - The Raven. And yes, we tried really hard not to name it The Ravin' Mix. lol.
Actually Karl sat down and started to do a remix but the rythym track he came up with so bitchin I made him save it - the result is that we came up with a new tune we'll post soon - a sort of sequel to our "hit" "Intergalatic."

Meanwhile the Garland Cult remix was restarted by myself, I am bored and alone in Leiden this spring waiting for repairs to be done on my place in Monte Video. Anyways- I started and just could not stop. It's up to 10 minutes long now and will only get longer. Karl says I have a Napoleon complex when it comes to my mixes. lol

Here's our favorite Garland Cult track

iCast out of Isreal likes us

But I guess our biggest ups goes to Indifeed which featured us a few days ago

new track - Foxtrot

2009-03-16T09:29:00.001-07:00

Why is it named Foxtrot? What a wonderful question, your question is proof that we live in a free society, that we can express ourselves without fear of retribution or malignment in the public square. You are a beacon of hope and love in this time of trouble.

The song is up now here in rough form. We will probably brush it up a bit, but so far it is going to be on our next EP, due out, uh, soon...ish.

PS feel free to add your comment either here or on the download site. The link will take you to a place where you can stream the song first. But ey, it's only like 2 minutes long for goodness sake.

Be our friend please:-)

Jen here, karl is out shagging his "girl" friend again. Lazy bastard. Anyways, I am working ona remix for the wonderful Ms Dj Keri. She had a #5 hit on Billboard's Dance charts last year, we are taking a crack at "Beautiful Girl." Giving it a light pop-reggae feel. Trust me, it works. Maybe.

another day, another video

2009-02-18T11:48:00.000-08:00

Hi
OK, this one is for our stray single "Intergalatic life." It's up on emusic,but not on iTunes yet.
Anyways... we are mixed on this video - in some ways it is nowhere near as neat as the one using Ub Iwerks Animation. And it tends to reinforce the idea that our music is wallpaper / muzak. Crap.
On the other hand, the footage is about space, our song is about... well, called something about space.

Sorry, what was the question?

We're working on a remix for DJ Keri on myspace. We like how it is going. It is going to be our first reggeaton mix. We kid! Sort of. Well, here it is, we used a reggea sample underneath DJ Kri's song. Have to see how it jells...

Meanwhile, the video.

moving the needle

2009-02-17T09:21:00.000-08:00

OK
cool - in "just" the past five days our video has gotten 113 plays on youtube. Not bad, but sure a sehll not the viral breakthrough we had hoped for , lol!
Seriously though, we're happy as hell that people are listening (watching?)

ok, here's a better video

Still getting the hang of Windows Movie editor, but I think this is better.
Love this old tyme animation.

We like this one better

2009-02-09T09:46:00.000-08:00

We're kinda black and white people. I think this is cooler. Jen likes it because it's less obvious than the other cover.
