the background story of this frowning tape might seem unbelievable but it's the pure intangible truth... read it over at UNCLE T... but be prepared, this one ain't for the tender minded. i share a weird and frightening mood due to contributing in the processing and distribution of this sinister creation of unkown origin, so please notice everyone: LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK.
the new ultimate urge in life: boundless, unreserved, corybanting, affectionate partying like the guys in the beginning of this bitchin' video. maximum respect.
today was a cold, rainy and dark day and while doing my running routine in the park, listening to bitchin' tunes from L.A.'s LONDON on my sony walkman, a feeling of sudden change came up. when i noticed a bat circling above my head for several minutes (true story), i saw it clearly...
CREEP SEASON IS ON!
here's a matching song by cute TUESDAY KNIGHT to embrace and welcome these upcoming spooky and shady days that lie ahead...
today i'm proudly presenting a rare and unknown gem of the action genre from 1979. SEVEN - DEATH IS THEIR WAY OF LIFE!.
this is pure montage of one-liners, hawaiian landscapes and beaches, bikini & topless playboy foxes, moustached daredevils, corvettes, carreras and aviators, mindless action and all of it told at a very high pace... a blonde moustached midget hitman on a skateboard is just one cool outstanding detail in this movie, but i'm not gonna spoil anything more. just look at the cover for some seconds and let it take effect, then watch this trailer. pick up this vhs, seriously. the more you dig this movie, the cooler you are!
GAMES can't be honored enough i guess. their style and talent of sampling and mashing up weird old material into more weird new material is avant-garde, nothing less.
this song and video are bliss in its purest form. enjoy, relax, and make this audiovisual dream of a fun and party life come true... make sure to order the new 12'' here - highly anticipated by the hyperthrust chapter and also including this hymn of happiness and delight.
so now that the claimant for record of the year by THE OUTRUNNERS has finally been released and exceeded all your wildest expectations by far, there's not a second to rest and mellow down for all the disciples to the VALERIE camp...
RUSS CHIMES just dropped the ultimate dance bomb with his MIDNIGHT CLUB EP (to be released digitally soon) - check out the videos especially designed for this shattering EP... these 3 songs are his finest work to date and this guy already defined a groundbreakingly new distinct sound as we all know. if this is the future of disco, nostalgia becomes obsolete.
and be sure to check out his live sets. i was lucky to witness this guy live a few weeks ago and there's nothing like it, just like his new songs, mindblowing, ecstatic non-stop power & action! the path of endless fame and success should finally be paved for this young lad by this release...
in praise of today's final release of this year's most anticipated record, the "running for love and money" ep by the infamous outerspace androids THE OUTRUNNERS, here is a preview to this audiopsychic trip to a place of no return... those two french masterminds accomplished to merge the maximum terrestrial coolness of sonny and rico onto a chill round magical piece of vinyl. if you dare, don't hold off and order this masterpiece HERE!
... and while waiting for this auricular trip to a world of fast italian sportscars, easy bubblepermed bikini girls and brightly reflecting drinks by a mystically moonlit poolside silhouette, take a trip to space with another mysterious teledisco outlet from france called PROGRAMAS.
movie recommendation of the month: NEAR DARK. a timeless classic vampire movie that's got the perfect moods, characters, thrills, music and story. in our senseless errant present time, there seems to be some hype about vampire movies about romantic rouged skinny pansies, a heartless uninspired mainstream product designed for the typical square lowbrow female. NEAR DARK is the exact opposite and hence even more currently relevant. after watching this movie you must always remember: a vampire that doesn't get burned by the shafts of sunlight is likely to be just a soft poncey, a poor copy jerk dressed up in goth clothing bought from a supermarket. death to fake vampires.
whether you are a discjockey, or a singer, or ideally both, see this video of balls out partying as a guide, MARZIO DANCE exhibits how you can do it. the success of the party is your responsibility, see the moves, the lights, the disco fog, the magic, learn, live.
appreciation for the MOBILE ARMORED STRIKE COMMAND, for this era when children's cartoons where all about fast and beautiful sportscars turning into armored war vehicles, filled with action and suspense, and morals that exposed terrorists for what they truly are: evil. no holds barred. remember: the weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon.
the most iconic car for everybody, and this status is well-earned, hands down, seems to be the timetraveling, flux capacitor equipped flying delorean from BACK TO THE FUTURE. but how about a '84 camaro in sportsred, with double winged doors, that can transform into a flying, laser-blasting bomber of freedom and peace, that goes by the epic name of THUNDERHAWK? creator of this and many other epic cartoon intros is israeli mastermind SHUKI LEVY, maximum respect to this legendary man. the hyperthrust chapter is proud to present the very rare extended theme song in high quality!
i don't know what unearthly depths of mind this audiovisual dreamscape arose from, but apparently synth jazzers and dreamweavers ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER and GAMES have been involved. it's stunning how the redundance and minimalistic disturbing overlays of this video vision can give chill and thrill at the same time, feels like a déjà vu of another time dimension, where world and mind are in a postapocalyptic state, which doesn't have to be a worse scenario than present reality...
the ultimate summer feeling is sleeping late, wakened by shafts of sunlight, spending all day at the sea with your friends until the sun sets for a real hot summer night... the night is so hot, it's tennis shorts, tanktops, airy blouses, sandals and espadrilles for everybody on your way to the phenomenally hot magical disco night of your life... are you ready? cos i'm ready!
the peak of this party got to be the discjockey playing LOVE CLUB's anthem of hotness, listen to the beat and feel the summer heat!
the 12'' record of this magically dramatic song sold on ebay for more than 2000$. reason enough to be featured on the thrust! this one's rather to be played when having the blues, but nevermind, sunnyboys have emotions too. funny detail, the last scene of the music video is the cover of the record.
VINCE DICOLA, the mastermind well known for his epic soundtrack for ROCKY IV, was also responsible for the soundtrack to the ultimate cyber adventure one year later. several pieces of this soundtrack have been hyperthrusted into one hard as nails medley, presented below. enjoy.
there are many striking qualities of this song: the main synth theme, exotic drum sounds, lovely bassline, a refrain that goes "oh-oh-oh-ah this is just a dream", nothing really fits together but the song sounds like pure harmony though. kinda like a dream: first you live in a british telephone box right by the stone henge, now you ride a renault r20 from a moony french village to the italian sea in your holidays, next you're an owl living in a lighthouse at the adria shores, then transmuting to a stranger in the night, passing a magic spell to a lovely girl in the disco. in the end it all makes sense.
even if you've been hooked and booked and took, been forgotten and then pushed aside, like italo electro icon KANO, you still shouldn't be afraid to take a sunset ride!
as summer holidays draw nearer, the temperature's rising and you feel more and more attracted to your sexy teacher. you can't stand the heat anymore and rack your brains of how to finally accomplish to seduce this one hot sexy teacher after all... nevermind, here's the 101!
on top of that, just seconds before heavily and unrestrainedly making out with your sexy teacher in front of all the class, start playing this song right here and hyperthrust guarantees, your sexy teacher will finally let her hair down, completely unhibited!
WALKING LIKE IN A DOLCE VITA - a very common dream for every sunnboy and girl of all age! this one song is more than a hymn of the summer, it's a hymn for EVERY summer, even in winter.
just look at the video closely, it's surely your best dream come true, everything's just so right as it can get... summer, beautiful synths, heavenly girls that have the best style and moves, moustaches and sunglasses getting it right this time, everything accompanied by a singer who shows you exactly how it's done if you want to walk like in a dolce vita, bringing the easygoing vibes of the adria straightly to the riverbanks of the seine in the city of love... perfect styles, moves and voice, RYAN PARIS aka FABIO ROSCIOLI delivers and spreads the message of the dolce vita more authentically than every singer that will try to follow his path of delight in the future. always play this tune in your head and you'll never have to worry again, this song and feeling should last forever.
the semi-rare disco version that hyperthrust is delivering here is not only about 4 minutes longer, it's also got a hard as nails synth breakdown with crazy bassline right in the middle, perfect for wild freestyle disco dance, a short escape from the paradise that is the DOLCE VITA.
there's some very special italo that touches your ears and you just can't help it but move. wherever you'd hear this song, be it on your walkman in the subway or in your favorite ice cream palor on a sunny day enjoying some malaga and stracciatella... as the beat starts you jump up, throw your head around and start grooving your guts out. the odds are that this gem of discotheque delight is produced by stefano zito and carlo favilli, the masterminds that are also responsible for some of the hardest banging disco tunes ever made, i.e. BWH's STOP. enjoy and remember... disco is not a passing phase, it is a lifetime commitment.
it's a long wait for the summer this year, your mind and skin is longing for some hot nights and chilling tan - here's a holiday tune to bring some sunny solace to these rainy days!
only a few days ago, more precisely right HERE, i featured a pretty uncommon phenomenon, namely the art of changing creepy, awesome, deeply tempered synth anthems into bodyshaking, discobanging but still moody and dark dance tunes. last night, haunted by terror visions caused by watching another episode of DARKPLACE, i stumbled upon this masterpiece of swedish italo disciples JACKPOT. they somehow managed to make a supreme piece of TANGERINE DREAM soundtrack for 1983 luscious nazi-horror movie THE KEEP by MICHAEL MANN ready for disco rotation. too many superlatives at a single blow? watch this EPIC movie scene closely, feel the shivering synths and images, before the swedish italian beats shake you back from this dream.
this hypnotizing tune can't be found on the OST for THE KEEP, however french companions VALERIE posted the track long ago right HERE on their old blog, unfortunately it's now offline. JACKPOT released their vision of the tune on this record HERE which is not available anymore either, but highly recommended by the hyperthrust realm though, just as all their other releases which are to be found HERE.
my currently favorite tv-series and recommendation for every balls to the wall horror fan is called DARK PLACE, which caught my attention via visual web-magician TOMMY BOY's blog entry on arawa.fm last halloween. here's the trailer but notice: this one's not for the sensitive mind!
for more info on the series and dreamweaving mastermind GARTH MARENGHI visit his website:
the following video and song could give a wrong impression of what this dreary evil broadcast is really about. this romantic intermezzo is the only harmonic moment in a sequence of mad and disturbing supernatural drama, no holds barred...
this emotional moving, serious song is quite nontypical to hyperthrust's universe of unconditional delight and happiness, but it just has to come with a posting about one of the best mystery tv-series ever made!
it takes a lot to change a creepy slowed-down synth anthem by JOHN CARPENTER, originally designed for a movie badass like SNAKE PLISSKEN, into a smashing, bass-driven dancefloor tune while keeping all of it's mysterious and dark vibes. germany's very own THE SPLASH BAND's gone it alone. from the depths of the alleys of a post-apocalyptic mass-prison NYC to the shores and discotheques of st. tropez and rimini, this is absolute complete musical italization, mission accomplished:
this record of powerful synthesized electronic magic is hyperthrust's recommendation of the month! get it HERE. a perfect blend of rimini melody, moustache vocoder, no-style-dutch vocals and legshaking basslines - now feel the magic electronic!
you can check out the full e.p. with the incredible extended vocoder mix by mastermind FLEMMING DALUM and learn all about the origin of this mysterious electronic tune on BODY ELECTRIC'S myspace site HERE.
spending your holidays in a new built metropolis on a foreign planet. a dream that's still supposed to become true. the synths on this track take you on the train to nowhere - destination: future.
another night out. you're on the ball and completely set to party your heart out. but you're not living in ibiza or rimini and it's not the early 80's - you're forced to go to the usual urban party: students, indie music or even worse, minimal techno. no passion, no heart, no fun, nothing seems right. fuck 'em all. you're STILL about to do it big time. press stop for all skinny indie hipsters, fat student girls, people with glasses and minimal techno drugheads acting like they enjoy the drowsy endlessly weak minimal beats or the annoying whiny skirls of another mayfly replacable indie hype. FUCK THEM ALL! blank it all out and press play in your head to just celebrate as if you were on THIS party from now on:
ANGEL'S DISCOTHEQUE, IBIZA. the ultimate place, the ultimate party. karl dall and his friends show you all how it's done. 6 vodka tonic, topless guys and girls, italo sunshine through your heart and you'll party all the above mentioned away!
which other timeless classic summer party tune would fit this post better than this one?
read the 1983 issue of BREAKIN MAGAZINE right HERE and you'll always keep in heart: FUCK ALL RAP AND HIPHOP AFTER 1984!
this scene is from 1984 documentation BREAKIN' 'N ENTERIN' about the L.A. breakdance and electro rap scene. must-see for everybody who loves tunes like this - quality is worst of the worst but it seems there is nothing better:
everybody knows that by the end of the century, the world is not supposed to be dominated by communists or allah. humans and friendly robots will share work and leisure: robots handle our housework and may even program our music like the one above, men will enjoy pure leisure drinking colorful cocktails by the pool or travel to other planets for holidays.
the skills of this italian stranger of the night is incroyable: CLAUDIO PEDRINI has the amazing ability to crush you down with one stare, clap his hands, raise his fist, bang his head and meanwhile hit the keys of his korg, synthesizing the most obscure and luscious tunes - AT ONCE! how many moustached humans can do this without wearing sunglasses?
you get it - maybe clay was not a human. after delivering this sensational video and thrilling song, he disappeared into eternity and never came back. maybe he's just a kind of android lifeform in disguise, a creature of the night, never meant to stay amongst us. don't turn of your lights at night - he might visit you in a new dream, now that you've seen and heard him...
