Well Funky Brazilian Beats

Here's the new remix by the Rio duo The Twelves, Hurricane Jane by the Black Kids.  If you're a fan of Fred Falke you'll absolutely love these guys.   They make funky, groovy electronic music, epitomizing down tempo, "late night" dance tracks.  A lot of their music is available for free download off their myspace but here's an original that isn't, I Feel Fine, probably my favourite original Twelve's composition.  I'll also post below a video of a live session recorded for a Brazilian television station.  They have a unique live show; performing original pieces, doing on the fly remixes, and mixing in the traditional sense.  This video features their remix of New Young Pony Club's Get Lucky and a class unreleased remix of Radiohead's There, There.  Enjoy. 




Seeing as I've been watching a lot of the Mighty Boosh lately, I had to post a clip from one of their earlier episodes.  For those of you unfamiliar with the program, it's a cult classic in the UK, featuring Noel Fielding and the ruddy genius Julian Barratt (the one with the mustache).  Each episode is practically a fairy tale; a bizarre adventure featuring two ex-zoo keepers, shamans, a talking gorilla who moonlights as a DJ, and many more outlandish characters.  You can find full episodes on the internet so if you're as sick as I am with north american television, look no further, watch the Boosh.
