TWO FOR THE ROAD…

Hey hey,

Sorry that it’s been a minute.  Readjusting to civilian life.

Here’s a couple little bits to keep you going.

First, here’s a video from my show at Check Yo Ponytail 2.  No live audio, but if you wanna see what it looked like, here’s your shot!

CYP2 presents: Analog Chic from IHEARTCOMIX Records on Vimeo.

Also from time to time I like to share little bits from friends who are doing good things.  So in that spirit, here is a wonderful remix of a Zowie track from a good friend, AKA JK

Be good y’all, speak soon!

PHOTOS FROM LA CITA (LOS ANGELES)

Back on the east coast now with no shows for a bit, so I’ve got to time to put some photos up now.  These are from the show I did at Dance Right! at La Cita in downtown Los Angeles. 

It was a great show, probably my favorite of the whole trip.  Great crowd, great music, great atmosphere!  Big thanks to Matt Goldman, Paul Devro & the rest of the crew for having me!  And as usual, a big thanks to my lovely fiancee Vivian for the photos (check her “field trips” blog out at http://vivijean.wordpress.com).

Enjoy!

SOCIAL CLUB LIVE VIDEO/PARIS PHOTOS… EN BOUILLABAISSE

PARIS WAS A BLAST.  We were there for just under a week.  I got to do so much cool sh*t and see so many wonderful things, see friends, play a concert at the beautiful Social Club, do a performance on the radio… It was the best.  Truly a wonderful time and I’m so thankful for the opportunity.  I’ll be back!  Below are some videos from the gig at Social Club…

AND HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS… around Montmartre, at the Louvre, at Social Club, at the Eiffel Tower… A little bit of everything, all photos as usual taken by my beautiful fiancee, Vivian Corado…

LIVE ACOUSTIC SET ON LE MOUV RADIO…

This past Monday I did a live acoustic set on the Laura Leishman Project on Le Mouv Radio (France).  It was a really great time and a wonderful opportunity and I thank them for it.  It was just me and a guitar player (the wonderful Bogue, for those of you who want to know).  We did 3 songs.

If you want to hear the whole thing with interviews and all you can go to this link, and scroll into about the 1 hour mark and that’s where my segment begins:

Just wanted to share a few quick little bits with you…

First up, announcing a couple of last minute shows coming up next week… Girls & Boys (the wonderful Friday night party here in NYC) is headed down south, with new monthlies starting up in Charlotte and Miami, and they’ve asked me and Dances With White Girls to come and christen the events.  So I will be performing live sets on Wednesday night in Charlotte, NC (@ Butter Charlotte) and Friday night in Miami (@ EVE).  Come out, I think it’s free with RSVP, you can check the events out here…

Miami = http://www.facebook.com/alexenglishhh#!/event.php?eid=143853149008985

In other news, Annie Mac played “Is That Your Girl?” on the Annie Mac Mashup last night (Friday) on BBC Radio 1.  You can listen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wqdc

She had this to say about the track: “Punk Techno… So the singer is Mattie Safer used to be the bass player and singer of The Rapture and it’s produced by him as well [ED NOTE:Dances With White Girls co wrote and co-produced and the track features Telli from Ninjasonik]… Definitely a standout track for me ”

Thanks Ms. Mac!  Super “chuffed” about that one.  Or as Dances put it, “cross another thing off my list.”

Oh, on a side note, I don’t know if this is a screw up or not, but it appears that the compilation (and my track along with it) is now for sale?  Go buy it here: http://digital.turntablelab.com/search/release.php?ALBUM_ID=12542

Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet, but I thought it was pretty cool, a little mini site for LTCT, be sure to read the Busy P interviews… http://www.edbangerrecords.com/ltct/index.html There’s one with this little handsome devil:

Other than that just been hard at work on this “Future Gospel Sound” mixtape!  Should be done soon, you’ll see it here first!!!

That’s all for now!

NEW MUSIC!!! “IS THAT YOUR GIRL?” AUDIO CLIP

So, someone asked me the other day, “Mattie, why don’t you put ‘Is That Your Girl?’ up on the site so that the people can hear it?”

I asked the big boss man Pedro if I could and he said “Yes yes yes but how about just a 2 minute sample?”

Ok.

So here it is, a 2 minute snippet from “Is That Your Girl?”  Enjoy, share, anticipate!  ITYG comes out on the Ed Banger mix compilation “Let The Children Techno” on February 14th (Valentine’s Day) cuz we know you’re gonna LOVE it.

And once again, here is a live video clip of the track from the show I did recently at Le Bain

FREE SHOW IN NYC FEBRUARY 10TH!!!!

So the good people at GBH and Socialight have put together this nice event in NYC.  It’s at Tammany Hall (which used to be the Annex, which used to be Bar Eleven), which is supposed to be a real nice venue.  It’ll be nice to do something a little longer for y’all, my first show on a “real” stage, so please come through!  RSVP at http://newyork.going.com/makeoutmattie

See you there!!!!!
