ZZT - Nickel Und Dime (video)

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

The answer is: a fucking huge mountain of work (so many electronic music news this summer... Shit!). Now this is like when you wake up from a dream, crowded of naked chicks and you realize that that was only a dream and you have things to do (things sucks), something like that metaphor was the summer of the NoizeBusters team.

So, what we are going to do? for the moment, let's start with the last job of ZZT. And, maybe, in the future we make a post of random music on a compilation of this summer best tracks for you bitches, bitches love random music.

The cut and paste hybrid of dance and hip-hop that is Nickel Und Dime has actually been around since last November. To mark the recent release of the Partys Over Earth remix album, which features reworkings by the likes of Julio Bashmore, Erol Alkan and Justice, the duo commissioned the brilliantly named Femme de $arkozy to make a video for Nickel Und Dime to help "raise it out of cult obscurity". The resulting vaguely NSFW video features heavily edited clips taken from the Bob Fosse-directed 1983 thriller Star 80, a film based on the true story of murdered Playboy model Dorothy Stratten and seems to perfectly encapsulate the song's slightly menacing seediness.

ZZT -The Worm (Erol Alkan Extended Rework)

Have you heard the one about Erol Alkan? The humble 12 year old maestro-in-the-making who sneaks out the window of his parents flat to play gigs for a tenner? About the bearded studio-sorcerer worshipped by bands and DJ’s half his age as a living electronic idol? About the kid in his early 20s who’s founded that Trash night in London where they’re playing Bowie and basslines at the same time?

I heard that he invented the mash-up. I heard that he created the second coming of French Touch just by remixing Justice’s “Waters Of Nazareth”. I heard he brought guitar music back from the grave. No, it was electronic music. Or was it reggae? I heard he once revived a Roland 303 just by looking at it. Didn’t you hear? He’s bringing psychedelia back? Wait – I heard he’s bringing Disco back? Didn’t you hear?

Fuck yes! everything said about this english DJ is true! this expert in re-edits, which has since 1994 in the office surprises us with his latest work.



But that's not all, not too long ago we could listen the full remix of "Justice - Canon" wich is totally sick!! And a few days ago Gesaffelstein gave a big present to everybody with this remix of Erol and Boys Noize. Check it out!

Turbo LP 033 - ZZT - Partys Over Earth

Tiga and Zombie Nation have joined forces to create the most potent dance record of the year. Apocalyptic tension. Panic-fueled fundowns. 2012 is approaching. THE HEAT IS NOW – PARTYS OVER EARTH!

Having both rocked remarkably long and prolific careers, the members of ZZT possess uncanny staying power in an industry where hype ends faster than it begins. Zombie Nation's production credentials are impeccable, and his reputation as a live performer has made him a permanent fixture on Europe's main stages. Meanwhile, Tiga's vocal hooks, sampling know-how-to, DJ sets and impressive work as a label boss have all kept him perched atop the electro-pyramid. These are two major players in the indie-dance world, but together, they are something else entirely.

ZZT first established themselves as Paradigm Wreckas back in 2007 with 'Lower State of Consciousness,' upping the ante on how 'crazy' a crazy club record needs to be. Dazed & Confused named it their 'Electronica Single of the Year,' while Rough Trade likened it to "hearing Da Funk for the first time… getting Justice to turn it inside out is a master stroke. Tune of the Year."

Granting no interviews, doing no remixes, and going so far as to phonetically transcribe the track's beats and bleeps as the only PR communication for the record ensured that it would live its life in the underground, gradually developing a cult of followers who eagerly awaited 2008's follow-up 'The Worm,' which Erol Alkan reworked to equally devastating effect. Flash-forward to 2010 and 'ZZAfrika' drops as the much-anticipated 100th release on Turbo Recordings, with a massive remix pack featuring Gesaffelstein, Afrojack, Julio Bashmore and more.

PARTYS OVER EARTH is relentless, uncompromising Combat Funk. If the new ZZT were a drug, it would be DZZMT. Not the stuff some loser shaman huffs behind the village gas station, but a new-school cut of Freebase Free-Bass that tears out your central nervous system and forces it to dance with the hottest elf you've ever seen.



The album has no weakness. Twelve tracks for End Times. Find a car. Find a ditch. Start a fire. THEN play this record. Don't even try to "share" it. Save your generosity for when you're reduced to eating Mayan Calendars to survive.

It's time to get real real, real fast: the Past is Not the Future. We're not trying to shit you around the block here. The singularity approaches. PARTYS OVER EARTH!
