Hi hi hi rainy summer Shanghai !!

You know them, they are two crazy kids with a robot friend, sometimes dressed as animals, they design their flyers in the bus to school with a fat pen on a used page of gambol notebook.

They carry happiness and tons of tunes wherever they go, so we can dance, rap, jump, badbreakdance, slurp baijiu, too much baijiu, too much dance, too much jump… rap! baijiu!

Maumau and Heatwolves are playing in LOgO tonite, if you haven’t experienced their set yet, do a nice favor to your body and soul.

All you have to do is step outside, grab a taxi and scream xingfulu fahuazhen lu. Then EVERYthing will be just fine.

Crazy and fine.

Time to ask Mau Mau what special record he’d love to share with us a the moment.
Definitely love his pick, please find it, and listen…

Dosh - Wolves and wishes
(martin luther king chavez) dosh is a percussion mastermind from minnesota who makes gloriously strange music out of a sampler and all the instruments he has lying around. he’s been touring with andrew bird for a while, who has guest credits on Wolves and Wishes

this is dosh’s fourth album, and the tracks have a more melodic, jazzier upbeat style than previous efforts, which pushed more towards spaced-out glitch. things are still chopped and rearranged in bizarre and happy ways, though, and i’d put the whole thing on a level with his previous best, Pure Trash

2 intense pleasures of listening to dosh: one = unpredictability… for someone who spends a lot of time listening to formulaic dance music, it’s some kind of island vacation to hear something that takes all sorts of unanticipated turns, stutter-steps and sudden explosions, in ways that still build towards one big sound. in one interview, talking about his jamming/sampling habits, he says that it’s often the mistakes in recording sessions that he finds most interesting, will chop out and loop up and layer over.

two = the sheer range of different noises he works with and recombines — each album is like the sounds of a different country — though somehow you can always still tell it’s dosh.

i give it twelve bottles of baijiu.
