RJD2 as The Insane Warrior – The Water Wheel
Vinyl archaeologist and all-around badass DJ/producer RJD2 has a new side project, The Insane Warrior. His new album, We Are the Doorways has it’s own website, and you can listen to the album at Spinner.com.
The album was influenced by John Carpenter (you can feel that dark ‘n trippy Assault on Precinct 13 flavor) and Brian Eno, and it features spatial instrumentals with a heavy sci-fi-synthy horror film vibe.
RJD2 fans will appreciate the break-heavy, cinematic feel that Ramble John Krohn always brings to the table. There’s a little more moodiness to this album, but it’s another solid effort from a producer who’s not afraid to take risks and show some range.
Check out the video for The Water Wheel:

Boney M Videos
It’s Friday! Why not enjoy some random Boney M vids? If you need some inspiration to get you through this final day of the week, check out Bobby Farrell’s dance moves in these videos. The guy passed away last month, but damn, he sure could move.
Boney M was the brainchild of German record producer Frank Farian. He basically got a bunch of dancers together, called ‘em a group and recorded most of the vocals himself (with the band members lip-syncing on stage while showing off their dancing skills). Farian would go on to repeat the same formula with Milli Vanilli in the late 80s/early 90s.
Anyway, the vocals may come from a dodgy German, but those dance moves are 100 percent authentic. Check it out:
