Music as Heard Through Turntables


Birdy Nam Nam. Un-fucking-real. Do check them out.

Birdy Nam Nam are a DJ crew from France whose members are Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need, and Little Mike. Birdy Nam Nam have won several prizes throughout their career including the DMC Technics 2002 World TEAM Championships. Birdy Nam Nam's goal is to use the turntable player as an actual musical instrument. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2006 on Uncivilized World Records, and in March of that year, they performed at the internationally-renowned music conference SXSW. The group's name is taken from a line in the 1968 Peter Sellers film The Party, directed by Blake Edwards[1].

They gain their music from friends, owned albums, and press beats and patterns into vinyl to assemble their music live.

Flip your wig and check this out.




Hat tip to my brother, the Left Coast Penn.
