Live Review: Uffie @ Cinespace in LA (03.16.10)

The sidewalk outside Cinespace in Hollywood was a chaos with people trying to get in 3 different lines for the sold out show. Uffie (Anna-Catherine Hartley) was back in town, performing for the first time in over a year and a half, and back where her American hype started. This was a night of leather jackets and mustaches, feminists (of both sexes) and hip hop kids. There was celebrity-spotting in the house, Steve Aoki himself and and Apl.de.ap with an entourage. Them Jeans warmed up the hipster crowd with Kid Cudi tracks that everybody sang along to.

Uffie finally hit the stage at 12:30, and she had a new DJ backing her. Uffie looked part Euro and part American Apparel, which makes sense being Miami-born, Hong Kong-raised and Paris-based. She invited the crowd to storm the stage, and her almost overly enthusiastic fans did not hesitate. Maybe this was a move to hide the lack of performance, to cover it up with fan frenzy on stage. …MORE

Exclusive: The Electro Wars Trailer (Video)

Steve Aoki, A-Trak, DJ Premier and more appear in upcoming documentary 

People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”

Kid Sister vs. Moving Units “Don’t You Want Me” Red Bull Soundclash (Video)

A couple years ago, Heineken presented Amsterjam, a day long live mash-up festival in NYC that featured huge acts like Snoop Dogg, Garbage and 311 performing together in various configurations. The event was widely panned, but apparently it was simply before it’s time. Red Bull has taken the concept and run with it, adding the twist of an old school Jamaican soundclash where the artists actually perform on opposing stages, with the audience pulling 180s mid-song. Last night brough Moving Units and Kid Sister together. They went back and forth on several MU and KS cuts, before finally joining for a version of the Human League classic “Don’t You Want Me” (thank STS for the vid).
