I LV MSTRKRFT
December 12th, 2008
I’ve been listening to this Canadian duo all the time this year. They’re called MSTRKRFT and are composed of Al-P and JFK.
JFK is formerly from the group Death From Above 1979 that did the brilliant DFA Remix of the Gorillaz ‘Dare’ which is on their new album D-Sides.
Some people have rather unkindly written them off as just a low rent Daft Punk but I think they have quite a unique sound that is a mix of punk-rock, house and hip-hop. Below is their remix of another great song, Australian trio, Wolfmother’s ‘Woman’.
Look around for MSRKRFT’s live set for BBC Radio One, on the internet. Definitely worth a listen.
Here’s Wolfmother performing the original on Letterman.
