Benn Jordan, i.e. The Flashbulb

Insomniatic drill'n'bass from a bipolar Englishman.

The "drill" being the incredibly tight snare rolls in the drum programming. I don't know how much is real and how much is edited afterwards. I think that's why I like it.


It is good music to listen to while making progress, I guess.
This is a really good song.

Ferry Corsten, working off of Fun Fun

Fun Fun.
Italo Disco.
1983.



Dead guys being danced around by a suited man while two italian ladies (one of them out-of-time-period attractive, actually [guess which one!]) in sweatshirts dance listlessly.

I am, of course, enamored.

More importantly, Ferry Corsten asked them if he could use the musical theme but in a more modern vein.

And more importantly still, he made a video that appeals directly to my highly refined tastes of spacey european progressive trance and HOT DANCING GIRLS IN SHINY METALLIC BIKINIS.

Slathered in icecream? Check.
Stripping on a copier? Check.

Blasting through space and/or in an 80's workout and/or playing keytar?


CHECK

Also, I actually really like asymmetrical eye makeup.
