911

In Australia there are three numbers that you can dial EVEN IF YOUR PHONE IS LOCKED! When I found this out I was astounded. The first one is obvious - 000, the Australian emergency number. The 2nd one is 112, which, besides being an RNB group, is apparently an international emergency number which connects you to the nearest telephone signal when out of range. Seems logical enough. The 3rd one however, is 911. zomgwtfsrsly. Are we that Americanized that if we happen to be in an emergency, the first number we think to dial would be 9-1-1? Not only is it HARDER to dial (having to reach from 9 down the bottom all the way to 1 on the top of the pad wastes precious nanoseconds compared to pounding 0 three times), it is NOT the emergency number.

Anyway, French producer Danger has moved into remixing with his reworking of American Boys by Estelle feat. Kanye. Now this is the type of crossover that makes sense to me - from London to Cali to Paris. I bet they don't use 911 in France. Maverick will like this one, he's gangsta if you didn't know.

OMG

This picture is an exact recreation of what we here at Gee Wizz looked liked when we found out that Danger is playing this Friday night at Fashion Keyboard in Melbourne .

The only thing that would have been cooler is if we were playing as well but i doubt we will ever get asked to dj there again!

I have to work on Saturday but there is no way I'm letting that ruin what will be a great night, so come on down to 189 Lonsdale St this Friday, its free entry and cheeaaapp drinks, and if you have to work on Saturday as well i might just buy you a drink and slap you a high 5. Woo!

Danger - 14h54

Macho shit

As Jesse so eloquently put it, yes our first single is on its way, entitled 'Cunt Eyes', which was the name we somehow came to agree on making our way home one early morning. A tale of lost love and found loathing with a fond foul mouthed twist, it shan't be long.

To get the ball rolling here, I thought I would post up a couple of tracks. The first is a demo from Danger, a badass Frenchy in the same vein as Kavinsky without the whole "Ooh look at me I'm a dead guy that for some fucked up reason ended up making music". (Although is also a cartoon). The demo is 11h30, and has also been remixed by datA.

Now for the second song. I saw a preview for the new Iron Man movie, and being a Marvel fan I hope that homo Robert Downey Jr does a good job, although I never really liked Iron Man anyway, he got his powers by making an armored suit because he was a rich douche.. lame. Anyway in the preview I recognised the riff of the old Black Sabbath song Iron Man, which is fucking great. Here is a weird macho-funk version by German electronic group Lotterboys from a year or so back... it's fun..
