“A Mountain for President is a space hymn with Martians on Juno synths, Jupitarians at the mixing desk and the cosmic prophet Sebastien Tellier on vocoder. Killer 80’s sounding italo-electro.” A Montain for President is a track from Principles of Geometry’s album Lazare. Principles of Geometry will be playing at la Bellevilloise on Valentine’s night.

Mash-up artist Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, will be filling up the air with his awesome remixes at La Maroquinerie next month. Trying to identify where each one of his hundreds of sample come from—anywhere from Grizzly Bear to OutKast—is the new game. You will travel in time and in space!
