DA KING comes as a wave synth-disco freak show immersed in the world of fairground kitsch and circus glamour. The Radio Mix is also available on the FM4 Sound Selection 20 (feat. MGMT, Animal Collective, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, etc.) and peaked #5 at the official Austrian compilation charts.
Further remixes:
"DJ Stingray Mix" by Sherard Ingram (aka DJ Stingray) is a deep, almost industrial down-tempo electro spider from the Motor City. Ingram is well known for his collaborations with Drexciya (as the official Drexciya DJ) and his works with Carl Craig on Retroactive and Planet E as Urban Tribe. His career spans almost two decades of relentless Detroit techno, house, down-tempo and more recent releases since he began as a DJ with his friend Kenny Dixon Jr. in Detroit’s legendary Motorcycle Club. With "Flying King Mash Up Mix", King Electric pull out of the hat their 2003 club hit, "Flying Carpet", and fuse it with Vocoders and vocals of the Radio Edit into an "uplifting" four-to-the floor dub version. The old master, Cristian Vogel, has given a massive injection of extra punch to the "deep house track with a great deal of understated funk and shuffling beats to perfection (DE:BUG)" in the re-mastering. Get on board!
The official Video Clip (by
Mingo.TV) comes highly recommended!
The trashy video clip with the two clowns was even presented as part of the following film festivals: Diagonale 2010 (Festival of Austrian Film), Alpine Kurzfilmfestival Nenzing and frameout - digital film festival. Watch out for the electric clowns in space!
