Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team, “Loud Whisper of the Northern Wind” Mix
- story Peter Macia
Let’s say you were up until 6am last night/this morning and right about now your will to live is at Defcon 5. You’ve had gallons of coffee, slapped yourself in the face a bunch and started seeing weird glowing dots everywhere you look. You should probably lay down and regroup for a while before trying to do anything, but then the Teki and Orgasmic come through with the newest mix for their ever-excellent dance label, Sound Pellegrino, packed with gooey bubbles of hyperactive jams. It shouldn’t change the fact that you’re so tired you want to puke, but these dudes got the power of Greyskull in their shit, or at least the power to squeeze that last drop of Lohan out of your exhausted ass. Check SPTT in Rennes, France, on November 14th and the whole Sound Pellegrino crew at The Egg in London on December 18th. Tracklist after the jump.

Gucci Vump, “Sha! Shtil! (L-Vis 1990 RMX)” MP3
With each new L-Vis 1990 track we are a bit more astonished by dude’s versatility: a brief gander into our iTunes has him dabbling in a vast assortment of kwaito (dub), hyperbass (and its death) and “dubblestep” (his own invention) whilst nipping at the fringe of various other genres and reinventing his own united groove (that was wordplay). With his remix of Gucci Vump’s glitchy dance version of Yiddish staple “Sha! Shtil!” (available now from the impeccable Sound Pellegrino), he does something completely new again, stretching it out into a warm pulse of house with a flipped-out melody, channeling these chicks singing in Yiddish into total dancefloor divas. So what’s next, microfunky? Happy doomcore? Dalston Touch? GO IN DUDE.

Teki Latex’s Big Man Swag
Lookbook.nu is the go-to spot for aspiring Sartorialist muses, where anyone can post daily photos of their style game. We’re pro-democracy, but frankly it’s a clusterfuck—who wants to see what everyone in the world is wearing every single day? One person’s page we never miss though is that of Teki Latex, lead lothario of French electro-rap crew TTC and sonic proprietor of Institubes and Sound Pellegrino. Armed with a mission to “be innovative in this world of Elves dressed like The Strokes,” Teki tends towards ATL-gone-sci-fi, blending Ralph Lauren, Nikes, golf caps and edgier, textured embellishments—the odd Sixpack scarf or knitted socks from Henrik Vibskov. Our current favorite is a look he titles “Major Blazer,” a combo of cardinal blue deck shoes and tailored Lauren blazer flossed with a black silk Roc Star square as a shawl. It’s not stuffy prep so much as “classy in the club,” perfect for transitioning from daytime on Harvard yard to a nighttime rave on a boat.

Video: Douster, “King of Africa”
- story Peter Macia
In our latest issue, available for free right here, we feature French by way of Buenos Aires producer Douster, whose eclectically composited club jams have been all up in our iTunes since early this year and who has a healthy obsession with both Lost and dinosaurs (who doesn’t). And apparently that obsessive behavior has spread to YouTube, as his latest video for the brand new “King of Africa” edits together documentary footage of people dancing, little kids doing the Harlem Shake, George Bush, The Lion King and some chubby pre-teens to good comedy effect. Douster also put the track up on Soundcloud, and while we were there, we grabbed a couple other recent favorites, the first heavy metal xylophone remix we can recall hearing, and twitchy redo of all-time fave Busy Signal. If you’re dying to get the jump on this kind of stuff, we recommend following Douster’s Twitter. And ours. Why not!

Sound Pellegrino Rainforest Frog Symphony Mixtape
- story Peter Macia
Based on the people involved—Teki and Orgasmic of TTC/Institubes—and the sleeve work that’s on some throwback Deutsche Grammophon shit, we basically had no choice but to put new label Sound Pellegrino on our watch list this year. Plus, they put out a record by Douster as their third release and we’re pretty much obsessed with that dude right now (see future issues). Below is the newest mix by the label’s founders under the moniker Thermal Team, which probably has something to do with coochie, if we know them like we think we do. It’s awesome. Tracklist after the jump.
