Austria: Darius & Finlay "Do It All Night" In Comedic New Clip
Austrian duo Darius and Finlay are back with another cheeky video. A few days ago the producers dropped this fun (and funny, if you're Austrian, we guess) clip for "Do It All Night 2k12" which is a tweaked/updated version of their 2009 offering of the same name (the Michael Mind edit of that was popular). This brand new take on the tune is better, however, and features a rap from Germany's Carlprit. The two main characters in the clip are Darius & Finlay. Nicco does not appear in the promo, yet his voice is the main vocal hook. Just the latest in a long line of crazy videos from these two, who have a penchant for exotic locations (they must like to travel and/or be wealthy as this video was filmed on an island in Spain...Punto de Jandia). Check it.
Awe-Inspiring Austrian Electropop: AG Trio's Excellent "Countably Infinite"
God damn this is good. Austria's AG Trio are back and back in a big way with this brand new video for their "Countably Infinite." Linz-based video production team Las Gafas, whom we've written about before on this blog, are responsible for the slick-looking clip. But the real star here is the song, which is just beyond special. Wrote about this act in 2010 and seriously might have to buy their new disc Action, no matter what the cost (we still like to get actual discs every now and then, especially to support artists we like). Check out the new promo below. Big like.
Austrian Swiss House/Pop Hybrid Time With Vera Böhnisch & Tom Novy ("Right Time")
Guess who's back? Swiss DJ Tom Novy and Vienna-born vocalist Vera Katharina Böhnisch. The pair made an appearance on this blog back in Feburary via a great remix of their 2011 hit "Thelma & Louise." But this new offering of theirs is just as good and really grows on you, especially if you're a fan of mainstream Euro-house. Vera lives in Mannheim now and for a white girl from Austria she holds it down nicely on "The Right Time." The single is taken from Tom Novy's label compilation Nouveau Niveau Vol. 2 -- Good Morning Bitches due out on May 4th. The video you'll see below (debuted today) was shot in Miami in March. Check it below.
Austria: Dirty Impact & Sunny Marleen Hit London For New "One Love" Clip
Guten Morgen, Austria. What's about to "impact" at radio and in clubs this month? Dirty Impact's and Sunny Marleen's new single "One Love," their label, Universal Austria, hopes, anyway. Dirty Impact are three guys, all DJs in their own right and they also do remixes/play live dates/parties in Germany and their own country. It's like Swedish House Mafia for Vienna party people, or something, and the trio decided to take a trip to London for their just released promo. Their last single, a dance cover version of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner," made it to # 23 on Danish sales charts, according to the act. We mostly just like the fact that one of these guys is named Wolf Le Funk. Check out the new clip below followed by their 2011 rework of "Tom's Diner."
Introducing Austria's Next Superstar: Meet Elija (New "Out Of Use" Video)
So there's this new-ish pop singer in Vienna named Elija. In 2009, he won the Austrian Newcomer Award. Last year, he got a phone call from the people behind Austria's österreichischen music fund without a record label deal. Now, he has a new single/video out that's really quite good. "Out Of Use" was officially released today in Austria and it's in English, luckily for us. Elija writes his own music and says on his Facebook page: "There are a few great artists - such as Prince, Lenny Kravitz and Bruno Mars - who are also not only musicians but also produce themselves. I have always greatly admired [them]. This album is just in every way my baby. And if every chord, every line, every minute of your own work at the mixer, then that's quite cool." Check out his latest below.
