New Music Mondays:Fred Falke

Good Monday Music Lovers,
This week I've decided to take a different approach and write about a new DJ, Frédérick "Fred" Falke. He is a French based house producer and DJ of German origin.


Fred Falke was a funk bass player, but after a coincidental meeting with Alex Braxe they decided to collaborate as a dance music producing duo. In the heydays of french house, which includes pioneers like Daft Punk and Cassius, they released several singles (underground but highly appreciated) on the French Roulé and Vulture Music labels. The tunes they made, with which Fred became famous, were released in 2005 on The Upper Cut.


Fred Falke is now an in-demand remixer in his own right and has produced remixes for a number of mainstream rock and electronic artists. Falke has reworked songs from artists as diverse as Little Boots, Gossip, U2, Annie, Grizzly Bear, Uffie, Ladyhawke, Florrie, Lykke Li, and La Roux, among many others.In 2006 Fred Falke went solo and released Omega Man, and a 12-inch of the same name, on the Parisian label, Work It Baby. He has made several remixes, including some for Gossip, Ladyhawke, Robbie Williams, Burns, Kish Mauve, Mini Viva, The Whitest Boy Alive, Lykke Li, U2, Miami Horror, Annie, Hot Chip, Ke$ha. In September 2009, he released a new 12-inch, including Chicago and Back To Stay.

On a personal note, I' really enjoy Fred Falkes DJ style; he is crisp clean ethereal and romantic - all the while keeping you dancing.

So please enjoy my two favorite remixes of Fred Falkes': "When I look into your eyes" and "Automatic".

See you next week for my new music obsession.

Drew Brings a Present to Coco Blackwell

Our very own Drew went to San Francisco earlier this summer and took in the Jean Paul Gaultier show at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.


Jean Paul Gaultier showed his first prêt-à-porter collection in 1976 and founded his own couture house in 1997. Gaultier developed his own dress codes in his designs during the 1970s to reflect the changing world he saw around him.


You can find Gaultier's designs featured in Nordstrom's fall collection, being described as "punk-infused, ready to wear." Check it out here: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/jean-paul-gaultier?cm_ven=google&cm_cat=designer&cm_pla=jean_paul_gaultier&cm_ite=jean%20paul%20gaultier_p&ef_id=AghPjL7mpVAAAA3b:20120726025534:s


Here's a link to the pictures that Drew took while she toured the exhibition. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151135087581565.498346.200863556564&type=1


For now, I'm going to be combing the interwebs looking for more of Gaultier's Fall Collection. What will I be adding to my wardrobe?!?


Until next time, Coco Blackwell loves you.

New Music Mondays:Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Good Monday, Music Lovers,
I am back on the blog and better than ever after a very fun birthday weekend. This week's pick is a fun one for sure; Orlando Higginbottom, known professionally as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED), is an English electronic dance music record producer and DJ. He is currently signed to major label Polydor. His debut album Trouble was released on 11 June 2012.

Orlando was educated at the Cherwell School, Oxford and has previously worked as a music teacher in schools. Orlando not only works on TEED but has also remixed tracks by the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Professor Green.

With ethereal beats and dream like dance tracks, I know you will enjoy TEED. Check out my favorite track, "Tapes&Money." I will see you next week with my new music obsession.

New Music Mondays: ALPINE

Happy Monday Music Lovers! I had a wonderfully fun time this weekend, fueled by music of course.

During the weekend a dear friend sent me a track, and I was hooked. Alpine is Phoebe, Lou, Phil, Christian, Ryan and Tim, hailing from Melbourne, Australia. ALPINE defines a new sound with zingy, wintry melody while still giving a sense of melancholy.

The band used to be known as SWISS but became ALPINE circa 2009-10; the band was quickly snapped up by the Aussie-hip Ivy Records. ALPINE quickly made their way onto the scene, constantly being referred to as the best Aussie band heard all year.

I love this band but I dont know if anyone can take the place of ABBA for me (tee hee hee.) Enjoy two of my favorite videos/songs from their debut album, A is for Alpine, out 8/12/2012 -  "Heartlove" and "Gasoline".

See you all next week with a new music obsession.

New Music Mondays.....Poliça

Happy Monday, Music Lovers. It's a brand new week and with it comes brand new music. This week's pick, Poliça.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, this band is honestly one of the most amazing new finds for me in years. The band makes a perfect sound with waves of prog rock accompanied by showers of electro synth, coupled with Channys' hauntingly beautiful voice - only made more poignant by her deep lyricism.

There isn't much out there on the band since they were only founded in 2011; their first album was released Valentines day 2012. This is a very new and different find, less dance than I tend to lean more towards, but there is a magic in this band's sound.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy my two favorite tracks from the 2012 album "Give You The Ghost:" "Lay Your Cards Out" and "Dark Star".

I will see all you music junkies next week with another new music obsession!
