Ed Banger Records, with artists like Justice, Uffie and DJ Mehdi are further ensuring electro continues to be the most exciting musical genre in '06, and SebastiAn from that said label is making some of the best. Ross Ross Ross is the title of the French artists new E.P., following on from 2005's Smoking Kills which upon listening to cuts from it, it just might be one of the best releases of the year. These tracks 'Ross Ross Ross' and 'Walkman' are glitchy, edgy and slightly dirty which cut and diverge spilling blood and sweat over everything they touch. Plus they possess an impossible to deny invocation to rise from your chair and dance stiff-legged across the floor.

I (almost)totally neglected to note the 10 year anniversary of the death of probabaly the most influential figures of the 1990's, Tupac Amaru Shakur, which occured last week (edit: He died 10 years ago today, he was shot 10 years ago last week). No matter what you thought of him, there is no denying how incredible his music was (and somehow still is being released) and the contribution he made. I was only 9 years old when he died, but after his death I became a life long fan.
