About FC Kahuna
Dan and John Kahuna were a hot property throughout the 90's, bringing the big beat sound with an unstoppable combination of the former's DJing skills and the latter's business sense. Along with the Chemical Brothers, they really defined the idea of big beat and gained followers as dedicated and famous as London club mainstay-turned-big beat fanatic Fatboy Slim. And in true Sex Pistols fashion, the two brothers cut their own career short when they were on the verge of breaking into the mainstream. The two didn't make a full album at the time, and their potential was often mourned. They finally quit living the hedonistic swinging lifestyle they had developed through owning the Big Kahuna Burger club and got back to business, starting with remixes and a tour with the Charlatons UK. Recording with a few guest musicians and combining their two influences, FC Kahuna (as they called themselves) debuted in 2002 with Machine Says Yes. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

Kids MGMT |
| With 2005's "Time To Pretend" MGMT created a musical moment that would resonate for the next three years, putting it amongst the creme de la creme of new millennium indie anthems. With latest single, "Kids", MGMT fail to scale the heights they did with their first single, but still deliver a track that has met with strong approval from such critical sources as Pitchfork media, Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, dance music bible Mixmag who cited it as one of their "tunes of the year". Sporting an overridingly childlike melody that shimmers due to the interesting use of a distorted stylophone, the track washes over the listener thanks to the great use of a Gary Numan-esque synth line. This is all brought to the fore on the new remix by Belgian dance maestros Soulwax, who turn the muted indie cool of the original into an irrepressible club monster. If any evidence is needed, here is a clip of Erol Alkan playing the track at the recent Pukkelpop festival. Quite simply, amazing! | |
