Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is a Pop group out of Camden, London. These guys were first put on my radar when Tiesto released a house remix of “These New Knights”. Since then, they’ve been remixed by others such as Armand Van Helden and even tapped on to open for La Roux in early 2010.

Mochipet is a Glitch-hop producer out of the San Francisco Bay area. When he released his first album, he took time to personally mail it to anyone and everyone who requested it. Since then, he’s gained an outpour of support and toured with everyone from Big Boi to Rusko. We recently sat down with David and asked him a few questions.

Who’s on your playlist right now?

Well I actually mostly just listen to the things I’m sent on Soundcloud. It’s hard to put a spotlight on one particular artist when there are so many out there. Psymbionic has been sending me some great things lately.

What ingredients would you say led to your success?

Am I successful? (pause) Well I guess as long as I’m still making music and traveling, then I am. I think all of my songs are unique because they’re influenced by all kinds of different things. Sticking to my music and putting out a variety of things were major factors. Through that, people in the scene realized that I was going to be around for a while and started reaching out to me.

From idea to distribution, How long does a song//remix take?

Hmm.. Well it depends really, sometimes I sit down and things just fall into place. Other times, I become obsessed with a sound and it’ll take way longer. So I’d say it’s different from track to track.

The definition of “Mochi” is a type of Japanese rice cake molded into shape and a “pet” is a domesticated animal kept for companionship. Do you consider yourself a Domesticated Japanese Rice Cake kept for companionship?

Um… well I wouldn’t say I’m domesticated, just ask my ex-girlfriend, hah. On the hand I guess I’d consider myself a rice cake.

Did some of your friends star in the movie Jurassic Park? If so, anybody we might know?

I wish. I heard the T-Rex from the movie tried to crash one of my parties one time but security tossed him out before he could cause any real damage.

(Laughs) You know it’s funny, I don’t even know how this whole dinosaur thing got started. I wore the outfit to a show once and it just snowballed from there. Fast forward to today and I have posts on my wall for dinosaur shoes, backpacks, and things like that.

I need to ask you something for the sake of my curious female dinosaur readers, are you single?

Uh, Yes I am.

What are your thoughts on Britney Spears bringing Dub-step to kiss FM and other mainstream outlets?

I think it’s great. I’ve toured with Rusko and I gave him shit about it but put in his position, I’d do the same thing. I heard her single not too long ago and it’s a really well produced track.

What’s your setup like and are you more software or hardware based?

I used to be more hardware based when I started. But since then, I’ve kinda evolved and now lean more towards the software side of things. My setup is constantly changing.

Do you produce your music in the dinosaur outfit?

No, uh.. I actually do in my boxers usually. That or naked. (laughs) I mean I get in that mode where I just don’t leave the house for days and only focus on whatever I’m working on at the time. Right? If I don’t have to get out of my house why bother. Haha.

Favorite Sound you’ve created to date?

Um… Rawr? Haha.

Mochipet has a remix of Samples – “Drop Bombs” you can pick up over at Addictech or you can wait for it to hit other the outlets on the 22nd of next month courtesy of Daly City Records.

AWOLNATION is a refreshing new electronic band that released their “Back From Earth” EP in May of twenty ten. The album does a fantastic job of including soul-felt vocals that are often absent in electronic music. Sometimes, the expectations of the ones you love can be overwhelming and it seems impossible to shake the fear of not being able to deliver, thus “Sail” was born…

Automatic Toys is an electro rock band out of Toronto, Canada. The wobblicious “Deep Sleep” is filled with plenty of harmonic synths and the rock vocals simply set it off. These guys just posted a few new tracks on their myspace which can be heard here. Can’t wait to what these guys do next.

I recently got an email from my friends, Mitten, letting me know that their new EP “See You Bye” is finally finished. This is the first time in awhile I’ve had a hard time deciding which song to post.

I instantly fell in love with the electro pop elements found in “All That I’ve Got”. Then the second song kicked in and I couldn’t help think, “If the Silversun Pickups had a female vocalist, you’d have “Cavalcade”. I always look forward to well rounded albums, so thank you Mitten for delivering.

Mitten – All That I’ve Got

From her seventh studio album, here’s the new Britney Spears single “Hold It Against Me”. She collaborated with Rusko on this album so you can expect plenty of wobble wobbles and gated leads. The album will be released in March of this year. Enjoy.

This is very exciting for anyone who likes dub-step. I’ve talked in the past about the genre breaking into the mainstream market and here it is. With world wide reach and an enormous budget for marketing, this is it. Weather you like “Hold It Against Me” or not, the big picture is that Britney is a “safe artist”.

What I mean… Kiss FM isn’t exactly running any risk to themselves by playing any of Britney Spear’s music.

What the big picture means… if received well, other dub-step artists will now have a path to follow.

Gregor Fletcher a.k.a. Farfletched is an electro producer out of Dundee, UK who’s bringing us a remix of Underworld’s – “Bird1″.

…and I thought I was the only one that found TRON disappointing but there are others. Turns out Dave from Chromeo was spotted passed out at a screening. I love the people in the background like, “That’s that fucking dude! Take a picture!”

Why was Jeff Bridges “The Dude” in some parts?

Then there are scenes that are “OMFG PAY ATTENTION THIS IS FORESHADOWING…. PSYCH! I FUCKING GOT YOU… LOLZ YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE”… scenes.

Michael Sheen’s character is the only one who has any energy and but his scenes just awkward… Everyone else is just kinda walking around like, “Damn dude, I’m so bad ass… look at these fucking visual FX.”

@OhhSoFamous

First of all, happy fucking new year. I hope yours has been as great as mine so far. If not don’t worry, we’re only three days in.

Second, we have some super secret things in the works to make the Ohh! So Famous! listening experience more enjoyable. As we launch these features we want you to email us with your feedback.

Third, I have a great dub-step remix out of Blackmill to throw up here. This dude is looking to use the proceeds of his music to buy an old house he grew up in with his Grandparents and if his remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Your Song” is a measure of what’s to come… this may happen sooner rather than later.
