After my little teaser previewing French DJ group Birdy Nam Nam, I thought I’d share some of their 2009 album entitled Manual For Successful Rioting. The group’s comprised of four forward thinking DJs: Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need, and Little Mike. These guys are about as avant-gardes as it comes (if you couldn’t already tell from the “Parachute Ending” video posted earlier). Recently they tasted some fame when their song “Train Bolougne Express” was featured in Transporter 3.
Their music’s a high energy digital sound that often reminds me of MSTRKRFT…on wayyy too much speed and a serious dose of acid. I hate to compare them to another group, if any at all, because they are such an avant-gardes feeling and original group, but those serious digital pop chords like in “Train Bolougne Express” brings MSTRKRFT to mind. One of the main differences I can tell is that Birdy Nam Nam goes pretty light on the lyrics in their mixes compared to MSTRKRFT. If you’re into electro, you need to be listening to these guys. Check out some tracks from their 2009 album Manual For Successful Rioting below:
