Sweet Headache

Etage Noir Special

I have been a fan of the label Etage Noir (particularly Parov Stelar) for quite a while now. They release a great fusion of jazz, swing and electronic beats that’s still danceable and not just generic downbeat lameness.

However, I recently learned that they re-activated their sub-label Etage Noir Special and are aiming for a couple of new releases in 2010. They describe their style as “Electro House”, but their stuff seems to be much more interesting than your typical cheesy bigroom Electro House.

There’s also this amazing video for Saint Pauli‘s “I Need Rhythm”. It was relaeased in 02/2009 already, but I have totally missed this one. It takes the ideas of contemporary urban street art (-> Banksy) even one step further. Enjoy!
