Why don't we have a non (or not yet?) Institubes-related post for a change? Siriusmo is not signed to Institubes. Siriusmo is a Berlin-based electronic artist who got introduced to the world via a series of singles on various labels and a remix on Modeselektor's last remix EP. Siriusmo's music is not an easy thing to describe, with one foot in vaguely hiphoppish electro, and the other in semi-happy filtered house... I think the only point of reference that comes to mind is Modeselektor's versatility and obvious need to stay away from anything affiliated to early 2000 electroclash and minimal-techno-isms. But i guess his stuff is less "dancehall rave terrorist" and more "2007 groove is in the heart" than Modeselektor. His myspace page has just been updated with a series of awesome disco-ish tracks. He also has a very dope side project with german singer Dana, who's a pro at making the german language sound sexy. Their song "Lieeebemachn" (from their myspace ) is a little piece of happiness wrapped in a kinder surprise bought in a gas station on the side of the autobahn. It's just too short and when i asked Siriusmo for a longer version he said he lost the files or something.
