The "electroclash" movement was basically a revival of the dance-punk style of the new wave. It was New York dj Lawrence "Larry Tee" who coined the term, and the first Electroclash Festival was held in that city in 2001. However, the movement had its origins on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. One could argue that electroclash was born with Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997), released by Belgian dj Ferenc van der Sluijs under the moniker I-f. At about the same time German house dj Helmut-Josef "DJ Hell" Geier was promoting a scene in Berlin that was basically electroclash. Another forerunner was French dj Caroline "Miss Kittin" Herve', who had recorded the EP Champagne (1998), a collaboration with Michael "The Hacker" Amato that included the pioneering hit 1982. The duo joined the fad that they had pioneered with First Album (2001). Britain was first exposed to electroclash when Liverpool's Ladytron released He Took Her To A Movie (1999), that was basically a cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. Next came Liverpool's Robots In Disguise with the EP Mix Up Words and Sounds (2000).

  • Girl Talk Announces First North American Tour in Eight Years
    February 10, 2020 For Immediate Release Girl Talk Announces First North American Tour in Eight Years Photo Credit - Joey Kennedy Girl Talk, aka Pittsburgh’s Gregg Gillis, is excited to announce his first North American tour ​ ​ ​ ​ in eight years. Throughout the past two decades, Girl Talk has been known for his wholly ​ energetic, sweat soaked, confetti-covered live shows and festival performances. Once again, he will bring this exuberance across the states, playing Chicago’s Metro, Los Angeles’ ​ ​ Echoplex, the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and more. A full list of dates can be found below ​ ​ ​ and tickets go on sale later this week. Gillis built his reputation from his meticulous construction of sample-based music and specific style of genre-smashing, breakneck-paced party jams. With each Girl Talk album, from his breakout Night Ripper (2006) to Feed The Animals (2008) and his last, All Day (2010), ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ his work has become increasingly detailed and complex. The last several years have seen Gillis focusing on collaborative work producing hip hop for some of his favorite rap artists. In 2014, he and Philadelphia’s Freeway released the "Broken Ankles” EP, and since then, Gillis ​ ​ ​ ​ has steadily earned an impressive list of production credits and collaborations with his artistic contemporaries, including Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Tory Lanez, Young Nudy, Bas, Cozz, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Erick The Architect (from Flatbush Zombies), Smoke DZA, and Don Q. As Noisey so aptly ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ describes him, "The tracks he's released over the last year show, more than anything, that Gillis ​ ​ is adaptable as a producer. The people he's worked with are about as different as you can get in the wider rap world, but no matter the circumstance, he's been able to find palettes that work for each of their voices.
