“Say Whoa” Single Is Out!
Sure sure it’s on Kitsune but it’s my single goddammit and we put the Fool’s Gold logo on there! So I’m putting this on this-here blog.
Sooooooo I have a track called “Say Whoa”, you probably heard it on my “Running Man” record (or at least on the snippets if your lazy arse didn’t purchase it) and now it’s out as a single! You also get remixes by Sinden (pounding!) and Boys Noize (paranoia-inducing!) and best of all, my very own Kitsune head drawering.
Buy it on:
iTunes
Beatport
Turntable Lab (vinyl)
…and many other reputable retailers!
Das Glow sheds some light on the History of Life

No more than once or twice a year, something makes you realize how much you love this job.
My last five were: Para One getting a shot at remixing Daft Punk (and BOY what a remix), taking the train all the way to Belgium with half of the Institubes family to see Daft Punk play live two years ago (no names, but some of us were literally crying by the end of the show), Thomas Bangalter playing at Institubes & Ed Banger’s 2006 Xmas party (although his set was somehow ruined by us acting crazy stupid / drunked out of our minds / operating no less that 4 bullhorns - you get the picture, if not check it on YouTube), Surkin’s set at his own release party (playing at least 4 songs simultaneously at every point of it, with ALL our french comrades shaking the booth like it was some kind of car-sized maraca), and finally Cuizinier & Orgasmic opening for Clipse in Paris this summer.
You can tell things are pretty busy schedule-wise when you reach the point where you’re promoting songs you haven’t heard in their entirety.
So: last Tuesday I’m uploading Das Glow’s new single on Institubes.com and halfway thru “LITE BRITE” it’s getting obvious that not only this version of the track is totally new to my ears, but it’s one of THESE moments, a new entry in the pattern that only reveals itself once a year. All planets aligned, the office reaches perfect temperature, the sound of birds and traffic in the streets fades out, caffeine+taurine abuse and sleep deprivation hug each other in harmony. The bass line enters and everything since the apparition of the very first microbe on Earth to this very second has an evident purpose, the entire History of Evolution plays before your eyes as a Ghibli-animated short, Charles Darwin ressucitates so he gets a chance to bitchslap Sarah Palin for a minute of two, and your imagination draws a picture of an immense crowd made of all your friends and co-workers standing ready for war like one of these cool posters with every Marvel Comics hero and villain on it.
The other track on this single is “SUNBURNT”. It’s been around for a while, most notably on Boys Noize’s “Bugged Out” mixed compilation. This one is a club thing, with its own Das Glow touches (some of them involving the engineer of the first mastering session throbbing every knob with disbelief for 15 minutes until he realized it was entirely produced and mixed in mono).
“LITE BRITE” is definitely not a dance cut, and even Das Glow doesn’t know how to label it. So let’s file this one under SENSE-MAKING if you will.
