Immediately after watching this video, two things came to mind. First, Thieves Like Us like any group off of Kitsune Maison are known to produce really good music. And second, this video is the BEST tribute to Tron ever. Program of the First is the first single to an upcoming album, Play Music… Off topic, anyone remember playing Tron on the Atari 2600? Moni?

Production tandem Guns N Bombs beat the bloghaus types to the punch by
signing with trés chic French label Kitsuné late in 2006 (and on a MySpace
message no less). Their rip-snorting “Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere” shredded U.S. dancefloors throughout 2007, with its desperate robot vocals and a sawtooth router bit. Formed by Ima Robot bassist Filip Turbotito and Chicago DJ Johnny Love, they have already remixed tracks from Klaxons and Chromeo. A forthcoming album, not picked up by a label so far, should make a serious impact on the culture of U.S.-bred dance music. Of course, neither Love nor Turbotito were born inside our borders (Italy and Denmark, respectively).
-Pitchfork Media, Sept. 28, 2007Unpretentious and unforgivingly badass, L.A.’s Guns ‘n’ Bombs (including
an Ima Robot member) single-handedly put the United States outside New York back on my techno map, blow current German electro standards out of the water and give Paris’s New French Touch a run for its money.
-Montreal Mirror
I was wondering when these guys will make an east coast appearance. I first discovered Guns N’ Bombs from listening to Kitsune Maison’s podcast. Johnny “Guns” Love was hosting Kitsune’s 4th compilation mixtape. Not only did I get my first taste of what Kitsune is all about, I was entertained by Johnny Love’s comments. Anyway, they’ll be headlining for Tax Lo’s return to Sonar. Be there. I highly recommend going to see these guys perform. If you live in VA or DC, the drive may be a bit far. Keep this in mind though, an $8 dollars cover for Guns N’ Bombs along with resident djs Dave Nada, Simon Phoenix, Cullen Stalin and Chris O. That sure beats paying $20, suffer high dollar drinks and a dress code to see Steve Aoki at DC’s own Lotus Lounge. No hate on Steve Aoki, just wish he threw down at Rock and Roll Hotel instead.

When I saw this mix on Kidz By Colette, it was a no brainer dl. Kitsune Maison, Ed Banger and DFA and mixed by both Digitalism and Cajuan? The Hercules and Love Affair track also helped seal the deal. Listen to the mix below and dl it here. Also, a track listing is on the back side. Off topic, I’m curious as to why hasn’t SebastiAn given a name to his new track yet.
