Poutine is a typical Canadian dish consisting of fries made in duck lard, topped with chicken gravy and cheese. For the german speaking population, this is what austrian newspaper Der Standard says about it:

The one to your left was last seen in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on December 19th 2009.

There's even a track about it! Check out Poutine by Vertual Vertigo HERE. Moizeit!

Lately i stumbled over "Berry Weight". A Canadian/Swiss duo consisting of "Apework & Stab" accompanied by Danish singer "Astrid Engberg" and French clarinetist "Kledsy Jy". They dropped their last album "Music for Imaginary Movies" about one week ago. Vinyl friends still have to wait for the vinyl to be released.

As far as i can say, the music is some kind of mixture of Wax Tailor, Prefuse 73, Birdy Nam Nam, Feist & Berry Weight with harmonizing storybook-like melodies and cinematic atmospheres - which you will find out, if you listen through. Very nice one, especially for listening friends. Don't expect this to be a Dj-Tool.

Last but not least: on their website they offer some nice packages with either cd or vinyl and shirt or ltd edition skateboard, print, ... and so on. check it out, put the needle to the groove, kick back, relax and watch your imaginary movie. nice work and whole package.

... plant your roots in the ground! it's been a long time since i dropped the last mixtape. some records were already waiting while others were still coming in.

you will find "old" ones, new ones, concious ones, other ones, experimental ones, straight ones, synthetic ones, deep ones, souly ones, ...... beloved ones.

When your life is looking down?
Be true to yourself ...
Plant your roots in the ground.“ (Rubix)

Or a post called: Rotaug goes Alternative... Just came back from legendary viennese club Flex, where we celebrated the vinyl-release of "Hybrid" by our friends austrian newcomer band "Das trojanische Pferd".

"Hybrid" actually is a Remix-EP from their latest full-length Album featuring a superdope version of a tune called "Popsong" by our very own DiscJockey Kompact. Go get this!

i am here to welcome 2010 with the no_06 of my "untitled in case" series. instant photographs of the urban space, it's function, architecture and mystic.
this time i have chosen to work with an already existing loop-based piece of music called "hold up" by rotaug's very own dj kompact.
on the paint: kryot. reflecting his surroundings - a savaged drainage ditch in the suburb of vienna. enjoy and sry for the wait. no_07 is coming soon.
