BENI FOR THE WEEKEND

I've been waiting for Beni to release his song titled Maximus for a while now. I got it somewhere around a month ago and it's been playing on my iTunes quite frequently. It sounds a bit like something that Tiga might do. And oh yeah, don't be frightened by Sam Sparro on vocals - I think this is the only good song I've ever heard him being involved with.
The single is out on Kitsuné now or then you can go and get it here.

Video has kids dancing around. My favourite one is the guy in the red shirt:

So that's it for now, have a great weekend and don't forget that GoatBoy is the busiest DJ in Turku! Tonight he's doing his thing in Cosmic Comic Café with Rodeo. Might want to check that out if you're in town.

BURNS AND SKWEEE

I'm sure you all know a movie called The Warriors. Being a huge fan of the film, I got pretty excited when I noticed that Burns had a new video out which is basically a pretty clever edit of the movie. The song is called Teknique and the video includes old-school gang-bangers, roller skating, chicks dancing together and some fighting in a subway toilet so where can you go wrong? Burns has also made other cool stuff lately. A remix of The Bucketheads classic The Bomb is definitely worth mentioning.

We here at Sheikki Sheikki are big supporters of Skweee music. Couple of guys called Iacopo Patierno and David Giese have made a full-length documentary about the genre, and here we have a preview of it for your pleasure. It's already all over the web, but I'll post it anyway. Can't wait to see the whole film. You'll get a chance to see it in Turku too, so keep eyes open for it. We'll inform you about the date when we get to know it.
For more info on Skweee see this page for example.

And hey guys! If you are in Turku don't forget that it's the last Ydintalvipuutarha with Jori Hulkkonen tonight. The action starts around nine, and after that there will be plenty of time to go and see our dear GoatBoy play at Bar Kuka. He's playing what ever he feels like playing, and he's doing it with our friend DJ Huhtasheikki. So see you there!

Song For a Grey Day

Thought I'd kick this shit on for good by posting a song for you guys. It's not the latest tune around, but suits me brilliantly on such a grey and dull day. James Yuill made an album earlier this summer and I absolutely love it although I think it may contain some of the same cheesiness David Grey had on his albums some years ago.

Anyway, Prins Thomas honoured the song This Sweet Love with something he calls a re-edit or what ever. The result is pure magic that is guaranteed to work on days like these when you feel the autumn slowly replacing the summer.



Hope you like it as much as I do.
