HESS IS MORE

Hess Is More is Danish mastermind Mikkel Hess, a drummer from Denmark putting forth his soul through a foggy, synthesized filter. Mikkel's music is like taking an orchestra and replacing all the violins with synths, all the percussions with Rolands, and all of the flutes with whistles and whispers.

I highly recommend walzing on over to his website and checking out the nitty gritty. Until then, here's my personal favorite song of his.

They are not only excellent producers, but also brilliant djs. I love all their stuff… they play really hard!

6 What was your greatest party experience?
Honestly, there is so many… If there is one to keep… hum… Not necessarily the biggest. Probably "Nu-Rockers-Party" in Brussels - Belgium last year. It was my birthday. All my pals from Paris came to party. The club was full of hysterical kids. The dj booth was inside a cage. Mad max style… The club kids climbed on top of the cage then jumped on the crowd in awesome stage diving… incredible!!! Insane clubkids, hot chicks, wicked sound system… Everything for a perfect party…

This track is simply the ultimate…

Dance Area - "AA 24/7",awesome hook, always in my head.
And also my ringtone : Homer Simpsons spiderpig

11 Fill in the blank: I would die happy if ______
I produce the next Michal Jackson record…

12 What's next?
Too many exciting projects:
Two new tracks: for a discobelle compilation and for a fluokids compilation too.
Also two remixes for Dada Life and for Designer Drugs.
And, of course, touring again and again, with stops at Miami WMC and SXSW. I will tour across North America, Australia, France, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Then, when I’ll come back home, I’ll focus on my next EP, which should be released this summer…Anyway I’ll try. Stay tuned.
And have fun, push people to get crazy as me, keep enjoying touring, meet peoples, kids, make the best music as possible, try to step it up…

BUZZ BANDS @ CHEERS

If you're in L.A. this month check out the free lineup hosted by Buzz Bands. These are one of those situations that make me want to live in California. :)

Noon: The Donkeys — Sweet harmonies and laid-back indie from the San Diego quartet whose latest album “Living on the Other Side” came out in September on Dead Oceans.

1 p.m.: The Mother Hips — A heavenly marriage of the Byrds, the Band and the Beach Boys, the Bay Area quartet is working on a follow-up to 2007’s “Kiss the Grizzly Bear.”

2 p.m.: Adam Stephens — Sublime low-fi folk from half of the Bay Area duo Two Gallants. Adam will be playing his music with a quartet at SXSW.

3 p.m.: The Shys — On last year’s “You’ll Never Understand This Band the Way That I Do,” this SoCal quintet hit the mark with its high-energy take on classic psychedelia and blues.

4 p.m.: The Local Natives — Fusing three-part harmonies, tribal beats and shout-along choruses, the L.A. quintet is gearing up for the release of its debut album, “Gorilla Manor.”

5 p.m.: Red Cortez — Dynamic L.A. quartet, fresh off tour dates with Morrissey, brings rock ‘n’ roll that has the heart of a beat poet and the soul of a bluesman.

6 p.m. Harlem Shakes — Exuberant New Yorkers (OK, they’re honorary Californians on this afternoon) will unveil their triumphant pop debut “Technicolor Health” on March 24.
