Giorgio Moroder – E=MC2 (+VAT Relativity Mix) [Buy on Juno]

+VAT might be a new act in theory, but behind the alias you’ll find APC founder Simon Iddol and his good friend mango. Simon’s got a track record that would keep both me and you busy until next weeek.  In the past he’s been a TV-show host, DJ, producer, designer and what not. But since his reincarnation as Simon Iddol, you’re probably most familiar with his relentless exploration of the musical mash-up culture, which he’s been not only curating but also promoting extensively the past few years. Not least here on AudioPorn Central.

mango is one of the founding members of the legendary rap posse Gimmeshot, one of the most popular DJs of Hungary and he also makes his wobbly glitchy originals as modul. +VAT is their commom remix/ DJ project and they just made a remix for for APC’s Digital Cuvée project as well as played several festival and club gigs (with Glitch Mob for example). Put simply, it’s the ultimate super group – or duo, at least.

Take the jump and check out our interview with the boys!

cold and dark vibe for a cold and dark season
deeper and more minimal than my usual sets
an hour long trippy, airy, spacey ride

2011 was rock solid
we teamed up with MB Disco to tribute the one and only Giorgio Moroder
we started our radio show on Big City Beats
we had many events, parties, funnnn like:
Illegal Sundays @ WAMP, gigs with The Glitch Mob and Ulrich Schnauss
and millions ‘n millions of you loved us madly

THANK YOU
SEE YOU HERE IN 2012 !!!
