It's almost as if I'm reliving all my fall concerts all over again. Last night Victor and I went to the Robot Rock concert at the Mezzanine, featuring Guns 'n' Bombs and Digitalism. We arrived around 10:30 and the dance floor was hardly occupied so we headed up to the second floor and snagged a nice place to sit down and sip our Coronas. The Guns 'n' Bombs set made for some bumping background music, but we both knew we were waiting for Digitalism to snag us over to dance.

We managed to weave our way up to the front of the stage and the show was j ust as good as it was before. Victor, who attended the Justice/Diplo MySpace party at the SF Concourse last week with me, commented that within the first few minutes Digitalism had already managed to trump Justice. I couldn't agree with him more. The duo that is Ditialism (Jens "Jence" Moelle and İsmail "Isi" Tüfekçi) have an incredible energy between each other and the crowd that Justice can't touch with their leather jackets and cigarettes. Jens owned the vocals when he danced with the mic stand, and Ismail always kept the beat up.

Altogether, an awesome show! Here's their music video to get your sneakers jumping:

In other news, a super special thanks to Muppet for hooking me up with the ultimate mix from the Winter Music Conference sampler. Listening to it now and loving it!

I'm pretty sure seeing Diplo on New Years Eve will probably not be anything remotely similar to Matthew Wilder's performance of Break My Stride on VH1. Then again, I will be disappointed if I don't see an attendee or two wearing something sequined/shiny/spandexey like his back up dancers, and I can only hope that I'll say goodbye to 2007 on with the same cheerful high I get after listening to this song.

 

What can I say. All this time when I thought I had such a firm grasp on all activities associated with the hipster lifestyle, DJ Tepr had to remix Yelle's A Cause de Garçon and some well groomed pseudo-mulleted triad had to frolick around in candy-colored high-tops all dancey and whatnot. I can't even being to wrap my brain around this choreography.

Need a kick in the brain?(its 3:00, time to rev up the brain machine again!)
Dansu dansu dansu! (The hot dog and the toasts are my favorite.  Also the 'Get Naked!' part. EEee :D)
