Beats Antique

So, this is EDM for the middle eastern set?  Do any of you remember Bend it Like Beckham?  We liked that movie around the house because the Mrs. played herself some serious soccer action.  So, we also somehow ended up with that soundtrack, which had some good tunes on it here and there, some terrible Spice Girls solo songs, and then some Punjabi MC.  This stuff right here makes me think of Punjabi MC - an americanized version of EDM instead of rap.  They also make super freaking weird videos - this one has horsehead guy checking out the show inside a lady's tummy, who then re-animates and gets her belly dance on in a major way.


This next video is some weird, trippy shit with sheep lobster guys wanting to go to space in their DIY, Rube Goldberg machine with lots of keys.  Or maybe they are watching videos of circuses and atomic bombs and music monkeys through their machine?  I'm so intrigued I forgot to listen to the music.  And they have one key left.  Woah, heavy.


I do not like this music.  Feels like someone wanted to hit a marketing demographic so they combined EDM (co current!  so hip!) with middle eastern sounds (think of the huge market out there!).  Maybe I'm wrong and these guys are legitimately into this music meld.  But, I'm out.
