Oizo // Cryptonites.

Spot the odd one out — one of these dude’s drops electro-bombs of nuclear proportions… the other just wishes he did. But seriously, facial hair hilarity aside, Mr Oizo’s new single ‘Z’ has been getting reviews all over the internets so I’m sure intrepid readers will have already checked it out. Personally, I’m more interested in this guy’s cinematography and soundtrack work. Steak blew me away, and although like Toof I can’t understand French, I always appreciate a good soundtrack, especially when it’s collaborative.

Also, frequent Alblog fodder Cryptonites (myspace) have finally seen electronic release of their debut EP Hands of God. To celebrate, they’ve sent bloggers a remix of Coldplay’s ‘Violet Hill’, which is more than decent. Get the EP on beatport or itunes, the album art alone would be worth a 12″ copy (if only I could find one).

Track: Coldplay – Violet Hill (Cryptonites Remix) (listen).

Cryptonites new EP.

How can I do another post on Cryptonites less than four days later? Possibly because in a post titled ‘Cryptonites new EP’ I totally forgot to mention the record at all! While I got carried away with their January mix, I neglected to mention that the Hands of God EP will be out on Destruction Music (myspace) in April. Tracklist a little bit like this:

1. Hands of God
2. Zodiac
3. Cruzaders

Track: Cryptonites – Glow (listen).
