Ellen Allien “Our Eutopie” (Video)

Has it really been over half a decade since Ellen Allien appeared on the cover of URB with fellow Berliners Richie Hawtin and Miss Kittin? Besides making me feel old (I could never again fly from LA to NYC to Berlin and back in 72 hours, without sleeping, just to get a story—ok, maybe…) this new clip from Ellen is a reminder of exactly why we were so psyched on her back then, and why we still perk up when news of a new Ellen Allien record comes our way. Although frustratingly short, “Our Eutopie” is a great example of the minimal techno-pop that has always been Allien’s specialty on wax. The new album, Dust, comes forth next week.

BatBox

Released by nobody's bizzness


They would have
you believe this album represents a new
darker side for Miss Kittin. As Miss Herv'
herself puts it, 'I was saying goodbye to old
ghosts...' From the Gothic artwork by Emily
the Strange creator Rob Reger to the typically
over-affected vocals that are Kittin's
trademark it all comes off as more than a
little twee, sort of Goth by Sanrio. As a concept
the album fails miserably, but taken as
individual tracks there are some that transcend'
the brooding 'Lightmaker' or the
nicely melodic DJ friendly ...

New Miss Kittin music (MP3)

It’s been more than a minute since we had some new Miss Kittin music to talk about. Missingtoof is reporting on the imminently release of a new full-length, Bat Box, and has MP3s of the first single, “Kittin is High” along with remixes by Norwegian producer Black Labelle and East London’s JoJo De Freq. There’s also a new b-side track, “Barefoot Tonight.”

It’s all classic Kittin, with “Kittin is High” pairing her well known vocal tone with some 16th-note bass and ethereal backing vox that are part shoegazer, part trance. The remixes are more usual European techno for ‘08 while “Barefoot Tonight” will take you right back to 2002 when stealthy electro
