A SAFE NU YEAR!

2011-01-02T12:10:00.000-08:00

This track has got this girl crackin' up like all the time. I'm sure you've heard it already? I believe from every negative must come a positive. This messed up incident inspired some musical boyz to use the original news broadcast and remix it into a hooky jam. It was released on itunes and had over 100,000 downloadz!!! They split the income 50/50 wit sweet Antoine Dodson and his sis Kelly here. [Aside - I hope they BUST that DOINK!]

Here's to a SAFE 2011 with no more TRAGIC NATURAL DISASTERS PLEASE! NO hurricanes, NO floods, NO earthquakes, & NO golf-ball size hailstorms etc. etc. Last year broke my heart on so many levelz.

AD BOURKE! Yourz truly on vocal duty...

2010-11-22T16:57:00.000-08:00

LISTEN HERE NOW!

Massively anticipated new CITINITE release from an artist that's been getting props from guys as diverse as Anthonhy Shakir, Dam-Funk, Marco Passarani and Radio 1's Benji B.

Ya'll know i'm gonna bombard you with DOPE muze. I am SUPA proud of my Italian bro AD BOURKE. Reminiscin' about when I first heard his FUNK on DOMU's label. Now he's on one of the most RESPECTABLE labelz on this planet CITINITE.

Mirage is the first Citinite EP from the Rome-based producer, AD Bourke. Combining soul chords, hip hop beats and funk phrasing, he invites us on a trip full of light and expansion.

The track which begins our journey, ‘Cosmic Connection', is the perfect introduction to Bourke's cosmic boogie style, with its relaxed rhythms overlayed by fizzing funk synthwork. It's perhaps worth pointing out right from the start that Bourke's music studio has only one window, and it looks straight up into the sky. ‘100' then drops with heavier, more club oriented beats. This was the track that first came to our attention via Benji B's Deviation show and which motivated us to sign Bourke. ‘Solar Commuter' with its fun acid bass is the newest track of the set, and along with the title track ‘Mirage' which opens side B, is more uptempo. ‘Diff Star' was recorded whilst Bourke was living in Brooklyn (and ‘One For Me' and ‘100' were recorded shortly after his return to Rome) and you can hear how that Brooklyn summer spirit left its mark. ‘Mirage' and ‘Light Echoes' were both written just after Bourke had agreed to work with us and both tracks are full of positive energy.

The last track is the incredible vocal version of ‘Cosmic Connection' featuring Stockholm-based singer Amalia. With great attitude and a dynamic delivery she steals the track and makes it her own. We're truly excited to be able to introduce Bourke's music to a wider audience and hope he takes his place at the forefront of the new funk sound.

AGAR AGAR

2010-05-20T14:44:00.000-07:00

"Agar or agar agar is a gelatinous substance derived from red algae. Historically and in a modern context, it is chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also in the past century has found extensive use as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work. The gelling agent is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from the genera Gelidium and Gracilaria, or seaweed (Sphaerococcus euchema). Commercially it is derived primarily from Gelidium amansii."

More importantly, just take a look at em wigglies! I made coconut and lime ones tonite, but these just FUNK it up on a wayyyy higher level!!! I think this will be my Summer Art Experiment. I can do a little cubism, surrealism, pointillism, hehe. Heck why paint, when you can eat something that looks supa pretty? ;-D

Just an EXTRAordinary day in Stockholm...

2010-05-14T16:53:00.000-07:00

CIRKUS 2010

Last nite a DRAG QUEEN saved my life, last nite a DRAG QUEEN saved my life from a broken heart... ;-P

MR. FLASH

2010-05-02T06:21:00.000-07:00

I don't know what it is with FRANCE!!! Something in that Evian water methinks?! TOO MUCH ART oozin' from every pore.

Take a listen to MR. FLASH's EPIC muze. So BANG ON it almost makes ya tear up, but don't expect his tunes to all sound the same, he is so DAMNNNN VERSATILE, a little schizo - I like it when artists can throw me a curve ball. ;-) He kinda reminds me of my boy, oh and of Kurt Russell's character in Death Proof! hehe

I AM IN LOVE WITH A GIRL WHO BUILDS ROBOTS!!!

2010-04-28T14:08:00.000-07:00

I met VALERIA MONTTI-COLQUE my second trip to Stockholm after already being a FAN of her artwork online. We actually recognized one another in the crowd!!! ;-D This Saturday May 1st, SWOP ART is hosting her video performance THE JOKER! I really really hope I can COLLABORATE with her soOOOn!

So Far, So GOUDE!

2010-04-19T15:23:00.000-07:00

Behind every successful woman is a strong man - I had to find out who had influenced Grace, meet French photographer/illustrator Jean-Paul Goude! Remember her craZy creative LP covers? He was the conceptual artist. She, his muse!!! ;-)

GRACE JONES VORTEX

2010-04-18T07:15:00.000-07:00

She always inspires me with her WIT, intelligence, seXuality, CREATIVITY, and most importantly her childlike PLAYFULLNESS! I watched a whole BUMCH, whoops I mean BUNCH, of interviews spanning 25 years with Grace last nite and I couldn't help but notice the undeniable similarities she has with my bestfriend ZENOBIA! Similar mannerisms, oh and the sassiness! ZEN I MISS U!!!

Autechre LCC reverberating my brain...

2010-04-17T08:08:00.000-07:00

Read on Autechre's latest OVERSTEPS here!

Miz Fuze is regretting that she didn't go see em in Gothenburg. Gotta go go go, something magical musically happening there.

WACK MIX TAPES

2010-03-28T12:35:00.000-07:00

What do all these songs possibly have in common?

They all use a vocoder or a talkbox, AND I heard em all today while wiggling at a cafe on Götgaten. Well, technically 'O Superman' was playing from an iphone - experimental performance artist and musical pioneer Laurie Anderson's mustached face is splattered all over the city. She's comin' here next month and up till now I've been thinking she was a dude!!! The tune reminds me a little of "I, I, I, I, I, I WANT U, U, U..."

Miz Fuze remembers when she used to make WACK mix tapes. WACK meaning a little off-beat. Like Sir Mix-A-Lot after Miles Davis! ;-P

EMEK

2010-03-19T06:42:00.001-07:00

I am feelin' Erykah's NU album ART for RETURN OF THE ANKH by Israeli-American-Portland-based EMEK, The Thinking Man's Poster Artist!

An ethereal coral garden underwater, 3 moons, 3 children, metal armor = protection, keepin' the junk out, escape from the mind, tree of knowledge, fertile and free!!!

Emek's been toted as the man who revived the POSTER ART SCENE. The genius of visual content to go along with the muze!!! Remember all em psychedelic posters Bill Graham had done for the Fillmore circa 1960's in Frisco. Oh those Jimi Hendrix ones were KILLA! Check it!

I have ALWAYS felt so strongly about an artist's visuals being just as strong if not stronger than the muze. Our eyes are far more developed than our ears yeh?

Miz Fuze needs to find a craZy illustrator!!!

INSPIRATION: The Platform

2010-03-15T18:56:00.000-07:00

Can ya believe that Courtesans skipped around in these sculptures back in 15th Century Venice? Some women tottered along on 22 inch CHOPINES until a maximum height of 11 inches was mandated by law. In a time when streets frequently doubled as sewers, platform shoes made imminent sense from keeping the CRAP away, but low and behold some of these stilts look a little like long turds!!! haha

Miz Fuze now realizes her platforms are NOT high enuf!

embrace the girl in YOU!

2010-03-08T13:46:00.001-08:00

When Jackie appeared on American Bandstand, he was dressed as a woman, and Dick Clark never even knew! Today, he wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but in 1963, an effeminate black man in spangles, makeup and eye shadow was quite the freak show in the eyes of the mainstream public.

JAMIE LIDELL NU ALBUM SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-03-05T10:11:00.000-08:00

Miz Fuze loOoves watching behind the scenes footage of albums being made, altho ya wouldn't want to see hers, it would just be a whole load of EMOTIONAL FITS, "OH SHITZ", hair not being combed for dayz, stinky armpitz, recording in platform shoez in order to feel the FUNK, and um wine, AND weird chocolate! Flavor of the week - dark chocolate with cherry tomato and salt. haha ;-P

NEW JACK SWING REVIVAL NOW I SAY!

2010-02-28T11:15:00.000-08:00

Since we're stuck in the 80's with all these Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush wannabees, why don't we just move on over to some good ol' NEW JACK SWING!!! CHECK BABY, CHECK BABY, 1234, CHECK BABY, CHECK BABY, 123!

Choreographed a dance routine for a 3 LEVEL TOWNHOUSE FULL of kidz on my 13th bday. THE TRACK - RUMPSHAKER! We used the walls for support. The HOUSE SHOOK!!! YAYAYA!

PixCell Elk by Japanese artist KOHEI NAWA. Quite remarkable how every glass bubble magnifies and intensifies the shape. A little bit like Damien Hirst but cuter I guess? Hmmm. Thanx to Princess Freesia for challenging my mind and heart with this one.

Miz Fuze mourns the loss of His Royal HIGH-ARTness. The darkness shimmering within. Why? She only desired to be famous so perhaps one magical day she could wear one of SINISTER creations. ;-( Sir. Philip Treacy holds everything for her now...

Dimlite – Roo (A dedication) from Ehstrawlogy Produkte on Vimeo.

This short piece from 2007 is/was a part of Dimlite's aborted 3rd album «Prismic Valuta Rising». Parts of named album will be released by Now-Again records in shape of the «Prismic Tops» EP in 2010, followed by an all-new album, later the same year.

This clip is NOT a digital animation. It was shot in real space, approximately 908'000 miles to the left of planet earth (PM for exact coordinates, it's a lovely place to spend holidays on your own). To achieve the original special quality of the images, a custom-built camera was used, made of spider eyes and straws.

Edit: If you WANT this track, it is available here:
dimlite.bandcamp.com/

thou shan't be released.

SEKOYA DALAWA

2010-02-02T15:04:00.000-08:00

SEKOYA - DALAWA LP by mizfuzemuze

Once upon a time, not too long ago, well like 4 yearz ago, 3 NERDZ put everything they had into an album by the name of DALAWA. It never saw the light of day on Canadian soil after getting high praise for their debut album 2 years before. [Yep had a whackload of CDs stored in my bedroom closet for a while!] Too abstract, not jazzy enuf, not commercial, um... Nevertheless a brave Japanese label by the name of CIRCULATIONS exclusively distributed it in 2007. Alas, available digitally via ITUNES and CDBABY!

Art wizardry by the one and only omniscient Spencer Keala Bowden.

Miz Fuze is extremely PROUD of this baby. The opening distorted guitar was a poke at Canada being a ROCK infested nation and how jazz muze could be wayyyyyyyy HEAVIER!!!

ALBUM DONE! NOW MIXDOWN!

2010-01-31T15:36:00.000-08:00

Yep I've been bizweeeeee. I have been so nervous, frustrated, MAD, joyous, impatient, AND craZily in love wit releasing to ya what I've been up to. Here's how I feel...

Miz Fuze thinks Gaga's muze probably demonstrates the ingenuity of her couture appearance in an alternate universe, BUT not on this one...owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

turn off the lights, light a candle...

2010-01-16T08:30:00.000-08:00

for peace.

I am overwhelmed with joy, sadness, um...blankness...sometimes. I have this problem/blessing of feeling life too intensely.

Haiti is laying heavily on my shoulders let alone the aftermath of the tropical storms that hit my fam in the Philippines. Focus on the love.

Let's pray for the living. Help those find each other...family and friends...and children...that are lost...that they be rescued...and are safe.

Miz Fuze is playin' Teddy to help her soul feel at ease.
