CELERY MOON - Good Morning Stardust V mix

I don't know who Celery Moon is or what his/her story is, but the new "Good Morning Stardust V" mix is off the hook! Celery Moon has something to do with Misshapes, as his/her blog is hosted on their site. He/She has incredible taste in dance music, as this mix features seamless transitions between great artists like Ladyhawke, Bjork, The Black Ghosts, Lykke Li, Simian Mobile Disco, Felix da Housecat, Kleerup, Cut Copy, Moby, and In Flagranti, with remixed efforts by talent such as Hercules & Love Affair, Calvin Harris, Holy Ghost, Alan Braxe, and (again) Cut Copy.

At press time, whilst in the pursuit of knowledge about Celery Moon, we were only told he/she was currently shooting on location in Hawaii. I have no idea. More info (or the lack of such) at Celery Moon's blog.

Now get the goods...

NEW RAVE?

Despite the sudden controversy over NME reporting the birth of 'New Rave', I am hooked on the new acts associated with the ill-fated new genre title.

The thought of such a genre conjures the memory of 'Electroclash' in the early Y2K's. Music snobs around the globe find a subtle terror in the phrasing of a, well, let's face it - a hipster music scene. But for one second, cast all pretentions aside and enjoy the music. New artists like Le Castle Vania, Simian Mobile Disco, Lo-Fi Fnk, Klaxons, The Black Ghosts, Klanguage, and even Brazilian electro-unit CSS are expanding upon electronic music's founding elements to further the sound into the modern atmosphere.

Yes, the term 'New Rave' is nauseating. But the music is solid, fresh, and inspiring. Even more important, it is fucking fun! Let's focus on that. Rather than killing a sound before it gets on its feet.
