Dr Strangelove

We have recently signed a wicked EP from Dr Strangelove! This may be the first you've heard of Dr Strangelove but it won't be the last. Here's the press release with a special free mix we're giving away as well!!

Gung Ho! Recordings is extreamely proud to be releasing the Debut EP from Dr Strangelove. With two heavy tech laden tracks 'Photograph' and Banshee' it sits proudly in a strong stable of underground releases following from Tom Maddicott's Ravor EP and Disco Of Dooms 'In Effect'EP amongst others.

Dr Strangelove is a heady collaboration between DJ Lottie (Charlotte Jones) and Pete Martin (Colburn / Cass and Slide). Coburn found success with the single 'We Interrupt this Program', gathering support from Music Week (dance album of the year) and XFM (act to watch) along the way. Lottie needs little in the way of introduction - she's a beautiful DJ legend. The partnership formed when Lottie remixed "Lost Life" for Cass and Slide - the result pushed all the right button and the pair went on to do more remixes including tracks for A-Human, City of Light, The Infadels and David Guetta.

Dr. Strangelove have since started making their own music - "Photograph" has been described by Guy Williams as "a low slung sexy beast that grabs you by the ghoulies and wont let you go, Bravo!" and it has been heralded by by Justan Robertson in his podcast as "an electric builder thats been tearing it up for me, grabs you and shakes you about like a frisky puppy!". Banshee meanwhile is Ocelots favorite, saying "We Love this track. One of the most energetic tunes we've heard this year."

Regarding the name Dr Strangelove.... DJ Lottie says "Every time I watch that film it gets better and better, its the one where Peter Sellers plays three different characters. it's a Kubrick film made in the '60s but is so relevant still now it could've been made a few years ago when the American Government was at it's trigger happy worst." BOOM !

The Japs vs The Killers MASH UP!

Mash ups are a funny thing in the world of electronic music. Putting together 2 totally separate pieces of music and creating something that sound good is a dangerous game to play. But occasionally it can be pulled off!! Thanks to the Disfunc mash up boys for putting this together. This mash up is of the new release from the The Japanese Popstars 'B.C.T.T' and the brilliant Killers tune 'Human'

A Cut Above The Rest

Here's the mighty Andrew Curley from ITB who is the live agent for many major artists including Gung Ho's The Japanese Popstars, Burn The Negative and Disco of Doom! Curley is here showing off his new haircut from the legendary barber Mr Ducktail. Dashing is the only word that come to mind.

(not sure what the oven gloves are used for in the office but i assume its for handling all the hot shit we send him!)

New Japanese Popstars live footage.

The Japstars have been all over the show performing live recently! On top of touring they are having to put together a second album which is starting to take shape. The best way to get a taste of what is to come is by seeing them live. At a recent show in Belfast someone caught on camera the new opening sequence to their live set and a track that could well be on the new album.

The sound quality in the clip is pretty shoddy but you get a the picture..... The name of this new weap is aptly named "Staring Steven Seagal"
