Electro wonder kids

July 7, 2009

With his voice from the afterlife, Ben Duffy –one of the Fenech-Soler brothers– sings to us with what the biggest musical newspapers and magazines in country have called the next big promise, the future in the world of electro-pop. Big words. In a more brick and mortar way, I’ll tell you that for me they make just the perfect kind of music to enjoy like a child on the dance floor with the last disco dance steps and choreographies you learned in your spare time on Youtube. So, what are you waiting for? Take off your slippers right now or –better­– come with them on!

They say one of Fenech Soler’s biggest influences is the late 1960s R&B-dance vocal group from L.A., The Whispers.

But their sound is more glam, pompous and tight. And a little bit gay, if someone asked me. And the thing about the milk –at least we think it’s milk– over your hair (see next video) doesn’t help. Guys, you should know that doesn’t flatter you. Someone had to tell you.

On stage, Fenech-Soler play live with real instruments rather than relying on laptops and gimmicks. If you need more references, musical know-it-alls compare them to Vitalic, Phoenix or –just for their supposed upcoming fame­– to Justin Timberlake. Their song “The Cult Of Romance” is meant to be a winner, a radio hit. So, try to catch them live before a wave of screaming teenagers invade all their venues.

They’ll be performing at 10pm on Friday the 10th alongside David Sugar’s rave-pop, and DJ’s Tommie Sunshine, Discobelle DJs and Tronik Youth.

Public Displays of iPod Affection.

July 6, 2009

Free Fridays are always personal affairs for the Cargo crew. It’s like putting your own iPod on at a party, it’s a nerve racking, soul exposing feeling but ultimately a rewarding experience. We just put on the acts that we like listening to and blindly hope everyone else likes them too. This Friday we have a classic case of ‘music we wanted to see played in a club, so we booked it in ours’

tommiesunshineTommie Sunshine. This man’s drums have that compressed to fuck sound that make your head a little smaller than it was before the song started. We’ve been playing his Major Lazer acid reggae remix a little too much than is good for us. Check www.tommiesunshine.com.

davidsugar David E. Sugar played at our first ever Cargo Yard Party where me and 30 other people when nuts to him at 1.30am on a Wednesday morning. He’s been lodged in our hearts since then. He’s on a mission to produce a song a week for a year. Check www.davidsugar.com



Fenech-SolerFenech Soler are on Alan Braxe’s new imprint and first turned our heads with their single “The Cult Of Romance” and the blissed out, stretched remix by Braxe himself but now prefer their ‘Airbrushed’ tune. www.myspace.com/fenechsoler



As normal, Cargo prescribes getting down early and leaving late. The piece of information is free. As is the night itself.
