Interview: Sinden

Graeme Sinden, UK producer and bass-assaulting DJ, relentlessly surfaces regional electronic music and innovative tunes from every continent on his weekly KISS FM radio show, and continues to raise the standard for musical discovery in the world of dance music. In addition to endlessly danceable remixes for everyone from Rye Rye to Bjork, Sinden and Joshua Harvey (bka The Count or Hervé et al) are preparing to release their first full-length album this fall, led by the massive first single, “Mega.” While he was in New York recently for a show, we caught up with Sinden to discuss his brutal schedule, love of radio and his new music. After the jump, read the interview and watch “Mega”’s video.

Freeload: Kidda, “Under The Sun (Herve’s Ain’t No Sunshine Mix)”

Kidda was completely unknown to us until we heard Hervé’s remix of the second single off his album Going Up, a record that includes guest spots from a guy in Snow Patrol and Psycho Les from The Beatnuts.

Video: Rye Rye Breaking It Off To New Song With The Count & Sinden

Domino Records is putting out a new EP by our dudes The Count & Sinden this October featuring a song called “Hardcore Girls” with Rye Rye, who may be our all-time favorite Baltimore resident. Yes, we are counting Michael Phelps. That dude has never made a YouTube this awesome. Both Sinden and Rye Rye have been in the Gen F section of the magazine and The Count aka DJ Nine Million Names has been on this blog plenty, so this is pretty much a supergroup. Dance along to the video and try not to have a heart attack.

We’ve heard various forms of this song for a while now, so we didn’t have a lot to say about it at first but then we were like OH WAIT former FADER editor Nick Catchdubs makes TWO appearances in the video. First as a record store clerk and then later on holding up a beeper. Good job Catch! THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.
