Carte Blanche x Kid Sister x Fafi x Yué video
This song was originally featured on Dirty South Dance 2 and on Carte Blanche’s Black Billionaires EP (Ed Banger). There’s a Laidback Luke remix coming out next week, and now here is the video, directed by our homegirl Fafi and Yué. Do that dance.
Late pass: DJ Hero 2 and Hennessy Blending of Art
I’m late on announcing my contribution to 2 projects…
First of all I’m in the new DJ Hero 2 video game.
Apparently this is what my section looks like. I don’t know why I’m in Vegas!
I made 2 “mixes” for the game (which you can preview on the youtubes below) and they also used a few of my other tracks elsewhere, like “Say Whoa” and my remixes for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MSTRKRFT.
The way this worked is, I had to pick songs from a pre-cleared list and figure out ways to flip them, whether it be as a remix or some sort of mashup. I wanted to go for songs that already stood the test of time… party classics. Compared to the first DJ Hero game which to me didn’t always reflect what DJs are playing, I like the fact that this new one is more focused on electronic music and hip hop. Although to be honest I haven’t properly played the new one yet. I don’t even play video games! But I’m glad I got a chance to be a part of this.
Also, Hennessy recently launched a project called Blending Of Art where they paired a couple musicians with graphic artists and had them make their own customized version of a Henny bottle. I worked with Dust La Rock on one, and Kid Sister also made one with Fafi. Now pour it up…

Fafi x Adidas sneak(er) peak
My good friend Fafi has been designing a collaborative collection with Adidas and just gave us a sneak preview of the HONEY MID shoe on the Cool Cats blog. Did she draw this while living at my apartment last fall? Probably not but one can always ask.

Is everyone excited to be back at work? Would it piss you off if I told you that I’m in Sydney where it’s summertime? No, right? OK cool, you guys are good friends. Now let’s go over the last couple of weeks, shall we? So umm… I don’t even know where to start. Christmas/Hannukah time was a bit hectic for me because it’s deadline o’clock and I’m at the finish line for my Sebastien Tellier remix and this mix CD. (The former goes on the latter). As you may recall in my last post, we had that Fool’s Gold holiday party with the legendary DJ Premier and Cipha Sounds. Our sponsors Pepsi decorated the space heavily with Christmas trees and snow flakes. It was a bit more festive (in a family sort of way) than expected, but I think that just brought everyone together even more. Since practically everyone on Fool’s Gold was in town for the weekend, I had a little get-together at my house the next day and we sipped on egg-nog while listening to Catchdini’s tall tales of grimy New York hip hop. He’s an even better storyteller than Abe Simpson.

Last week I came back from a weekend of shows with a cold and a busted computer and hard drive, determined to get things straightened out. So I went to this Apple service center here in Paris (they don’t have official Apple stores) and they told me it would take 10 to 15 days to swap my motherboard. I thought “I’ll show YOU a motherboard” (I don’t know what that means) and I said “non merci.” For a minute I even considered going to London to get it fixed. Thank goodness I know a few people at Apple in the US and they got me in the right hands in Paris. That simplified things quite a bit.

Last week I finally arrived in Paris to settle in for my six week stay here. I’m doing a house swap with the DJ Mehdi & Fafi household. They’ve already been living at my spot in BK for a few weeks while I was finishing up these tours, which made me homeless for a hot second. Right as I landed from Japan I got an invitation to dinner with my favorite living-dead (and new neighbor) Kavinsky, permanent dresser-in-black Sebastian and their respective female companions. A swift reminder that Parisians are prone to social meals and, as the food was served, that this is a great destination for a fine palate like myself. I walked home seemingly ready for a good night’s rest after essentially circling the globe. Hah. I guess I underestimated the formidable power of jetlag. 6am monday morning, I was up.
