Jetpilot Music Reviews

Apologies for the extended hiatus but it seems neither of your hosts have felt particularly willing or able to post about the music that moves and excites us. For my own sins I’m afraid I’ve been suffering under the tyranny of choice what with all the new and not-altogether-official releases that have sprouted from the blogosphere undergrowth and onto my ipod. How do you choose between hot tracks that suit the summer we’re currently living through here in the Antipodean South Pacific? How do you move beyond Daft Punk after gazing upon the electronic pyramid and its many-splendoured light show?

And so here we are. Yes. Hmm.

Ok!

The Kids from Trashbags scored quite the coup by bringing French DJ (and future father of my children) Danger over for a few live sets in Sydney this week. Although Sydney seems so close, it turns out my less than prudent fiscal ways meant Sydney was so very very far away. Ladies and gentlemen, dear readers, I am afraid I wasn’t able to sort my shit out in time to make it across to see the masked man drop his tunes, blow my mind and break my body.

Thankfully the internet has come to the rescue with those brave boys and girls (I assume their group is heterogendered, and no I don’t know if that is a real word) at Trashbags popping out from their virtual womb a recording of his live set at last weekend’s Trashbags. This set is 58 minutes of deliciousness and you really don’t know how difficult it is for me to sit here and type with it blasting in the background.

Head here to grab his live set, and while it is downloading you really should head here to read all about the night he made Sydney his own.

To tide you over in the time it takes you to download the live set, and for those who have yet to fall in irrational aural lust with Danger, here is the better known of his time-coded tracks 11H30…

… but I would argue that 14H54 is the best of the songs he has released thus far.

Hat-tip and hella thanks to the Kids from Trashbags for bringing the man over and sharing the Danger love with those of us who couldn’t quite make it to see him live.

UPDATE : It seems Danger is making a one night only appearance in my favourite Australian city, Melbourne, so head on over to Fashion Keyboard this Friday night. The flyer looks fairly budge(t) but hey, it’s Danger!
