Are you Sure Mr Oizo?
What a blow. Tonights show has been slashed! Yes, Mr. Oizo is stuck in L.A. and has cancelled his Chicago appearance. Maybe it is best, as my mood is quite sour. To the people that undermine the value of graphic designers, FUCK YOU!! Carry on.
Yes I am sure that the mustache faced Frenchies will continue to invade and destabilize us. I don’t mind, please bring the brie. I am quite thrilled about French music producer, ‘Quentin Dupieux,’ known to most as Mr. Oizo, (pronounced “wah-zoh,” not “oy-zoh”) making his Chicago debut – playing a 2 hour set, Friday, July 13 at Metro!!!!
I’m going to make this brief, as “Wah-zo” needs no intro! An integral part of the French music scene, Mr. Oizo is best known for his minimal electro loopy track, ‘Flatbeat.’ He has released several albums – Analog Worms (1999), Moustache (Half a Scissor) (2005), and a recent short album, Transexual (2007). He has done remixes for the likes of Kavinsky, Jamelia, Cassius, Scissor Sisters, production for Uffie, and his first feature film, Steak, which is about milk and plastic surgery. Mr. Oizo remains trashy, bassy and twisted, just like we like him.
I leave you with a tasty little treat given to us from Dj Zebo, who will open up for Mr. Oizo, and kindly give his Grown Mix CD’s away! It’s a combination of older music, pre-house era, splashed with a couple of new tunes, and he tells me that no one has it, not even his friends. So I guess that makes us pretty fucking special! (Or we’re just 2 days ahead) Enjoy!

Disaster and I went to the L.A. show. It was aiight. Too many backspins and not enough ‘mixing’. Great producer tho.
