Botchit & Scarper on MUZU

Hey Buddies! it’s time to finish 2009, pfffiou… Very happy to start a nu year to be honnest….

But 2009 ends up in a good way! Director Claudia Gomez has offered us to edit her film “Us” as a video for FEEL ME. And believe me, the result is HOT HOT HOT!
Already more than 4800 views in only a week! Filmannex reviewed it as “A highly imaginative and sensual music video”.

3 minutes of pure excitement, you better not be alone after watching it ;-)

To celebrate this good news, Botchit & Scarper are offering 5 copies of Feel me, so you better check here

And of course, if you want to buy or offer a copy, here are the ways to go: digital or vinyl

See you next year!!

Few days ago, Affie Yusuf discovered old DATs with tunes he & Trevor Loveys did few years ago… And he’s so kind he wants to  share  it with people!

so here they are:

Hey people,

hope you’re good in this very cold moment of the year!! Was a sad day yesterday, had to throw 7 green plants away, all bloody frozen :((
But it’s not to talk about my problems i’m here :D
I’ve been working on a video for a cover Shunda & I did, of Gary Numan’s “Cars”. This tune will be released by march/april, with my album, on Botchit & Scarper.
Directors are a crew of 3 guys called Lightgraff.org. They’re from Lyon & they’ve really pushed the lightgraff things a lot further!!! They are freaking talented!!
So we’ve spent some nights shooting scenes from da video.
Here are some rough takes, just to show you how things work. This is an image per image thing, so it’s a long process, but so inspiring!

Here we go:

First scene, 2 takes:

Here’s the result:

Here’s a very early preview of a sequence we shot yesterday night:

If you want they are also some pics on Twitpic.

time to move, for more shootings today!!
i’ll keep you posted

Hehe, me again :)

sorry, it looks a bit egocentric to only write about me lately, i was awat for so long no i need to recover the missing times ehehe

So, what to say ? that my second ep taken from my forthcoming album RAW is out now on beatport!!

Early supports were really good! It’s already single of the month on both Mixmag & M8 mag, & has recieved wicked feedbacks from Orbital (!!!!), The Stereo MCs (who were big fans of the first ep too ;-), Plump djs, Daniel Haaksman, Mikix the Cat, Solo…

Espect some very ecclectic music in there…

First, we have Feel Me, a dancehall track featuring Shunda K, who’s showing another face of her talent. A video is on its way for this track ;-)

Then, you have a wicked Peo de Pitte remix, a proper breaks hit, which already smashed dancefloors in da UK!

On the flip, you’ll be able to listen to FDB, a very savage baltimore/miami bass track. This one is not for the kids :) On the mic, Shunda K & Flyy Git.

And to end up in a very good way, we have a dubstep remix of FDB from Caper, a nu signature to Studio Rockers, the dubstep sister label of Botchit & Scarper.

We’re waiting for more news, as Sonia, the press agent at Botchit, is on holidays (lucky girl!!).

So you’ll hear more about that soon ;-)

If you want to listen to the tracks:

The Feel ep – out mid december by flore

& if you want to buy the tracks:

Speak soon ladies & gentlemen!!

Hey friends !!

long time no speak, been quite busy lately.

So you want fresh news ?

ok, a good one :)

You can now purchase the Ku Bo remixes pack, which has recieved massive supports from Sinden , Dj Yoda & Oh Snap! to name a few.

A very ecclectic package, featuring tracks from DJ Manaia, Batida, Daniel Haaksman, Robot Koch, Bert On Beats, Lazy Ants, Caski and…. me LOL.

you can listen to my remix here.

To celebrate that, Daniel Haaksman is giving his remix for free

Hey everybody!

Botchit & Scarper have just signed a new artist: SON OF KICK! This one is not new in the scene cos he has already released stuff on the Stanton Warriors’ label “BEATZ” & remixed Kotchy & few others… His EP, BYRDKICK, is a collaboration between him and Crunchtime’s Arabyrd & is due for november this year. This ep also features a remix from Austria’s Stereotyp that has already creeped into playlists across the likes of Diplo’s dance-floors.

Hailing from electro to dub-step, break-beat to hip hop, SON OF KICK has reached all across working with those such as Blu Rum 13 (Beat Infusion, USA), Jenna G (1Xtra, UK), N’fa (1200 Techniques/Inertia Music, AUS), Two Tokez (Death By Records, UK) and RQM (Exploited, USA).

To celebrate all this good news, he gave me his own interpretation of the Test… expect filthy crazy bassline in there :D

I try to visit blogs as much as i can…. & one of my favorite is http://www.seen-site.com/

Through this blog i’ve discovered a german dj, Tim Turbo, he’s one of the blog co-runner. I think we have the same taste or at least, roots in music…. he djs loads of different styles, from dancehall to fidget, dubstep, breakbeats… If you like all dis, you should visit his blog frequently, & listen to his TIM TURBO’s THURSDAYS – every thursday, there’s a nu mix to download, with loads of exclusives & infos.

He’s now giving for free a remix he did of Daniel Haaksman’s KID KONGA, & you better downloading it ;-)

I know Niark for a while now… he’s not like a close friend, but we’ve worked together while i was co-promoting gigs in Paris at le Baotfar few years ago.

This guy is dope: he has his own style, drawing these weird UFOs & strange creatures… i love this crazyness & freshness in his work, it’s always different, colorfull & vivid.

He know runs his own blog, so i wanted to share few pics with you…
