[deleted] Remixes by ADA and MIA. "After the remixes of 'Get Paid' by Ladytron, Robots In Disguise/ I Am X and Sugar (Buffalo Daughter) have already given a great impulse on the dancefloors of the clubs, we finally provide you with the blinding title track of the album I Am Disco. Still all remixes of the album are strictly female biz and so we are proud and happy to present remixers from the top of our wishlist. ADA from Areal Records whose debut album Blondie (www.areal-records.de) was one of the consensus-albums of the year 2004 turns the original into an oscillating, moving sound landscape. She lets snares dance nice and hectically before the sounds merge together and make the dancefloor move. M.I.A. runs the label 'Substatic' together with Falko Brocksieper. Besides that she is also DJ and producer and her album Schwarzweiss appeared in all the playlists of 2004. She chases the original until it starts to rave and hides it before it finally faces the ultimate ravesignal. Rhythm King and Her Friends themselves say: let's go 'Discontent' and dress 'I Am Disco' into some nervous electronica with a shot of acid.

[deleted] "The first album of Rhythm King And Her Friends.. Linda Wölfel, Pauline Boudry und Sara John founded the band in 2000. They developed their own special music style and complex texts, which shows that they pay a lot of attention on the traps and contradictions of society. Queer electronica, marvelous pop melodies with corners and edges, combine sampled rhythms and a playful use of different instruments and singing (in several languages, English, French and Bulgarian). Rhythm King and her Friends have something else in their mind. Instruments such as samplers, drumcomputers, guitar, bass and xylophone are used, in order to make music, embodied in the field of queer and gender politics. 'I know I need some vacation from my boyish closet'. Meanings are transported by the means of quotations, an appropriate performance and a free, but stylish handling of popsong-structures. The attitude and general atmosphere of Rhythm King and her Friends reminds one of casual but non-conformist bands like Liliput, The Slits, Au Pair, Peaches and Stereo Total. With Le Tigre, they share the creativity that is fused within queer and gender discourse. With Luscious Jackson they share the easiness of working with different styles."
