Brooklyn, NY based Tiny Masters Of Today release a new single, “Hey, Mr. DJ” on Mute - out on the 24th September 2007.
Available on CD, 7” and download, the track is a gritty and funky call to arms, a demand for equal access to the airwaves with the plea "Hey, Mr. DJ, Turn up the music." On board to spice things up are Brazilian punk/funk sensations Cansei de ser Sexy (CSS) and label mates Liars, both with brilliant remixes of the title track.
The pairing of CSS and Tiny Masters Of Today is a typically improbable one; the bands have never met in real life but became friends via MySpace, corresponding for over a year before finally coming up with an appropriate project to collaborate on.
Adriano Cintra from CSS explains, "I first heard of Tiny Masters on MySpace. I got really crazy about them; I wanted to have younger brother and sister like them. Kinda of, hey, let's make party songs for when we get older... now I am older and I'm glad I got Tiny Masters as friends!"
The remix strips away the fuzz guitar stomp and re-invents the song as an electro-pop classic that you can imagine hearing blaring from boomboxes and car stereos... on other planets.
Label mates Liars take a more deconstructionist approach, creating a hypnotic and apocalyptic dub soundscape that is, frankly, kind of scary. In retribution, Tiny Masters of Today took a crack at remixing "Clear Island" from Liars’ new album; the "Tiny Liars of Today" mix will appear the next Liars single release.
The youthful sibling duo with an average age 12 have been making waves internationally with their distinctive and energetic sound. Ivan (age 13) and Ada (age 11) have been tearing it up in the UK with sold-out singles, rave reviews, BBC and XFM airplay and none other than David Bowie declaring their first single to be “Genius.” |
