R.E.S.P.E.C.T.: The Dukes' new mixtape

They've talking about it for months, but here it is: "It Tastes Like Brussels Sprouts, Only Better", the new mix of The Dukes. Tons of great tracks, a nice blend of rock, elektro and even bits of mainstream beats from the time David Hasselhoff was chasing big boobed chicks on the Californian beaches! With this mix, The Dukes almost remind of my ultimate mashup - heroes The Cut Up Boys, but they'll have to eat some more sprouts to compete with them ;-) 

Nevertheless: great piece of work, guys!

Report: Justice @ AB, Brussel - Elektro is the new Rock N' Roll

Yesterday evening, it became crystalclear to me: elektro is the new rock n' roll. Or at least a perfect cross-over. The cross of Justice between a massive wall of Marshall - amplifiers, tracks of Rage ('Killing In The Name'), Rammstein ('Du Hast') and Metallica ('Master Of Puppets') in the mix, a crowd that loves to rock on the unique sound of Ed Banger's biggest. It was the fourth time I was at a Justice-show, and it must have been the best. They turned the (hot!) Ancienne Belgique upside down with their classics, came up with some suprising mash-ups ('We are your friends' vs Rammstein, see the video below) and both Gaspard and Xavier definately had fun watching the crowd go wild. Only negative point: the show was too short: 75 minutes? This can be better!

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed yesterday's show! For the festivalpeople: check them out at Pinkpop or Rock Werchter!
