Mas Fuego

Zingone. They´re called Zingone, and they look like fucking circus clowns. My girlfriend LOVES Tektonik. She was talking some shit about how the arm movements are really gracefull. It reminds me more of those funny trance moves that people used to do to Brandon Blocks Power of Love remix in Gatecrasher at the end of the 90´s. It´s totally a movement, but it´s not a subculture. Tektonik is fashion. Just like ponytails on guys were in the early 90´s.
I don´t really want to talk about the tektonik stuff anyway. I meant to say that this type of distorted bass kick/ handclap electro is like garage rock. Digitialism and Justice and Yelle have spawned a black tide of boy girl, boy boy, (but not girl girl yet) outfits that are chirping away like the fillament of a streetlight outside your window at 4 in the morning and just as annoying. Like when you couldn´t go into a club in london without some platinum blonde girl in leopard print tights telling you about how her ex boyfriend shared a joint with Pete once, now i guess people in this scene talk in hushed french tones about their friends of friends who had a track on a kitsune compilation. I never realised i felt so strongly about all of this until just now. What´s my problem with the french? Maybe it comes down to the sheer audacity of having so many fucking bikes in a city as mountainous as paris. And then they put their pretty wispy girlfriends on the handlebars like it´s 1945 or something. No. This isn´t it. That´s not a reason to hate, What´s going on with this article. All i wanted to say was that Zingone have a shitty name, they look insufferable, Their anti fashion stance just makes them look trendy and yet, and yet THEY WRITE GOOD QUIRKY COMPLEX DANCEFLOOR BANGERS WHICH I LIKE. that´s all, and now i´ve gone and fucked it.
