Be Brave Benjamin – Error! Lo-Fi Recordings

Be Brave Benjamin makes compact indie-pop songs with childlike instrumentation and lowest of lo-fi production (read: simple, not noisy). But the aforementioned Benjamin is nothing akin to a pussy, wussy or wimp. Instead, his songs have a surprising toughness, a kind of Calvin Johnson-esque baritone without an ounce of the dreaded “lilt”.

Minimalistic pop songs.

DjCode – Música Vermella

DjCode from Barcelona, Spain plays the electro funk. At the age of 17 he was Catalunya’s DMC Subchampion for 2001. A year later he became Spain’s DMC Subchampion for 2002. A real fierce turntablist. He is also a producer that works for funk and hip hop related bands, with whom he also tours often. He’s also dj’ed at Sonar Festival in two occasions. A really solid background for this young and talented dj and producer coming outta sunny Maresme.

Shake the electro funk.
