James Yuill

This time is turn for James Yuill, an interesting artist which brings folk/pop and electronic music together with a fresh proposal, he had his debut album "Turning Down Water for Air" out on Moshi Moshi Records on 2008 which has received nothing but good critics. This year he got lucky to be picked and edited by Balearic master Prins Thomas."This Sweet Love" was the chosen one and I have listened to it several time but the truth is that while I was stucked in the traffic jam and it just pop up in my stereo I just realize the greatness of it, that's why I want you to listen to it and be embraced by it as I was this very morning.

You can find it on the Kitsune Maison Compilation #7 or mixed in the Live at Robert Johnson Vol. 2 by Prins Thomas. Go out there and buy the records! hope that you enjoy this as much as theneonrider does.

Icasol

Last week was kind of busy for me, I was feeling all stressed out and I was looking for something to calm me down, make me feel comfortable and looking through my music I found the perfect formula for what I needed, a track that has been for a while in theneonrider music library but that I haven't heard in months. This track released November last year on the high quality label Claremont 56 is called "Ongou" by Icasol and it's remixed by one of the finest acts out there, Idjut Boys.

I don't want to bore you with too much information, I just want to let you know that this track is pure beauty, a work of art for you to close your eyes, relax and then fly off to your favorite destination.

DISTRICT 9

One of my first posts for The Neon Rider, was about one of my favorite directors out there, Neil Blomkamp. The trailer of his new feature film "District 9" produced by Peter Jackson is out, and it looks amazing, it just leaves you wanting more. If your familiar with his work, you'll notice that the storyline is pretty similar of Alive in Joberg.

I hope you enjoy it and if you want to go back in time and check my Neil's post go here.

Work it out with Little Boots

Our friends from Heads We Dance, just sent us their latest b-side work of their latest single featuring the one and only lady of the moment, Little Boots. The Single "When The Sirens Sound" comes out on May 18th, and as you know of what we've posted before this band is getting bigger and bigger every minute, literally. Oh and did we mention it includes Don Diablo, Russ Chimes & Hot Pink Delorean Remixes?



This rock/pop song with its' dancey drums and synth lines will probably make you dance and headbang singing along with the guys and the characteristic voice of Little Boots.

As always you'll be the judge, so get the song give them some love on their new website and myspace, and get their album when it comes out

Their latest album is called 'Love Technology' and will be available from 1st June - though you can pre-order it now by following this link: http://shop.thisisfakediy.co.uk/heads-we-dance-love-technology.html.

We Got Time

Maybe it's too early to show you another video but I was blown away by the Moray McLaren video of "We Got Time".

It's all about the "back to basics", the techinque David Wilson masters it's so great and he takes it to another level. The blending of the music with the visuals, help the story telling really well and it seems the visuals take over the song but at the end its a perfect blend of art. I really love pre-cinema optical toys - kinetoscopes, zoetropes, magic lanterns, and the praxinoscopes (featured on the video).

Everything was made in camera, believe it or not. Please watch in on HD, and I'll leave the making of video too. (go to the youtube link beacuse is on wide screen and you might been missing the right side of the frame)

Visual Again

I haven't post any motion graphics in a while, but today I found something worth posting.

Masa Nakamura is a multidisciplinary designer and animator who doesn’t pigeon hole himself into a single approach to solving his creative problems. Whether it be traditional 2d graphics, stop motion puppetry or painting on glass, Masa is willing to explore any medium necessary to get his message across.

This piece was created by Masayoshi Nakamura and Magico Nakamura created for the Adobe Records video competition. Great way of combining different technics, to entertain and show something beautiful. Watch it on HD if you can.




And as a double gift I'm going to leave you with a great old tune from 1976 by the great Boney M. a track that will make you dream as an 8 mm film.

Ma Baker - Boney M.

Woolfy

Long time no see, I know that and I'm sorry but I'm bringing you a lot of goodies from the neon stereo, some of them old and some new but all of them of great quality. We have talked about some of the artists from Rong Music Records, but know is time for Woolfy. D-Hastie and Simon "Woolfy" James met in 1999 in a bar in L.A., it all started with a beer and having something in common, making top of the line funky, dubbed disco, spaced out house and beared rock music.

These guys also have another project called Woolfy v.s. Projections which has a more melodic sound, a bit more calmed but still amazing, this other project had its release on Permanent Vacation Records and it has been on a heavy rotation among some of the best disco warriors out there such as James Murphy and Tim Sweeney.

Their last release Oh Missy is out now with a collaboration between Rong and DFA Records, is a really great track with exquisite guitar riffs and an amazing beat that just makes you want to dance. Again I'll let you be the judge on these tracks, please go to Juno, Emusic, Beatport or your favorite music store and get your hands on all of Woolfy's material, they have some incredible remixes. I'm only giving you some of the tracks because we want you to spend some bucks and support the artists as The Neon Rider does, remember gems are not for free.

Finally, the gifts:


Woolfy - The Warehouse (Lee Douglas Remix)


Woolfy - Odissey


Woolfy - Oh Missy (Extended Mix)


Woolfy vs Projections - The Return of Starlight (Original Mix)


Woolfy vs Projections - Absynth (Marcus Worgull Remix)

Stereo MC's

Remember "connected" by the Stereo MCs (1992)? Last night I heard it on the street! I decided to checkout if those guys were still producing music.. and well, they recently released a new album titled "Double Bubble". Found a song that has the most incredible first 3 minutes, but the rest turns into something unexpected. The first 3 minutes are just great, pure piano house. It is something like hearing the sound of Ian Brown's voice combined with Hot Chip music. The other 3 minutes..... you will be the judge.

Tokyo

TOKYO! is an anthology of three short films by directors Michel Gondry (France), Leos Carax (France) and Joon-ho Bong (Korea), each of whom offers an imaginative and transnatural/supernatural glimpse into the Tokyo Megapolis. In the same fashion the internationally released collections of Three (2002) and Three Extreme (2004) consist of similarly-themed triptychs by well-known (Asian) directors, TOKYO! takes things two steps further. First, this anthology deals solely with Japan. Each short film's setting is in Tokyo, the primary language is Japanese, and the cast of each features predominantly Japanese actors, many of whom J-Film fans will recognize. Second, two of the three directors are Western (French). Here's the trailer, it looks visually stunning, check the trailer out, go to a theater near you although it might not have a wide destribution) when is out.




And the music of course is by Tokyo Police Club "Be Good"

Enjoy.
