WOODKID AKA YOANN LEMOINE

OK, so the sound of this doesn't really fit on the usual Coco Electro bill but as an aficionado of all forms of creativity I feel overwhelmed to share with you these mind-blowing videos from Woodkid.

Here's the good bit... Woodkid is in fact not only the singer and songwriter but also the director of these videos. His name is Yoann Lemoine and he was responsible for bringing us Lana Del Rey's incredible Born to Die and Blue Jeans videos and that infamous aids-awareness video of the rampant public toilet graffiti.

Yoann says that his creations are "related to subjects such as childhood, absence, nostalgia, sexuality, fashion, symbolism, and of course that patchwork, that collision between different worlds and techniques, which is what I’m made from, I guess."

My oh my, this Yoann is one talented man....and I think I'm in love with him.

Happy watching!

TNGHT - HIGHER GROUND

Don't think I care too much for this video... bit of a cop out. Nevertheless, this track "Higher Ground" is insane!

"Higher Ground" comes from the much anticipated EP from TNGHT, the collab between the scottish don Hudson Mohawke and Lucky Me's bass genius Lunice.

The 5 tracks of madness that collate to make the TNGHT EP is out now on Warp.

LV FT. OKMALUMKOOLKAT - GET A GRIP EP

Oh damn. LV is BRINGIN IT  with the Get A Grip EP released today on Hyperdub.

Yeah I've got time for those strong deep synth chords and the tiptoeing beat in "Sebenza" along with that sexy zulu drawl of "Zulu Compurar" but I think I'm rating "Get A Grip ft. Mumdance" the most.. ooosh its good

Here's the video for "Sebenza" filmed by Chris Saunders in Johannesburg, the hometown of the track's vocalist.

dÉbruit - MEGA WAGNA - VIDEO

After a slew of impressive genre-bending EP's bringing you big tracks like Nigeria What, dÉbruit now brings us Mega Wagna from his debut album From the Horizon.

It was released on 4th June with my good friends at Civil Music, and you can get it on a scrumptious 12" GOLD vinyl. Dang.

It's available digitally as well. What a treat.
