The Show: This is the other side, I’m crying

Starting today with one of our favourite Cabaret Voltaire songs “Yashar“, the first of their tunes to use the “70 billion people of Earth, where are they hiding?” Outer Limits sample.

It was later re-purposed for a 90’s electronica compilation, “Happy Land” culminating, this week, in bewilderment for one or two unsuspecting Taylor Swift fans…

 

The online world needs little excuse for a mash-up, so the Cabaret Voltaylors have already begun.

And on with the show…

The Show: The tray four is 11 by 17, and that’s how you load the paper!

The blog title this week was inspired by the track “Xerox” from Melbourne’s mnttaB. As label boss Dik Detonic says, “Whatever the opposite of minimal is they’re doing it again… but louder.”
