Do The Dada

“We are Dada Life.

Destroy dance music and have fun. Don’t look back in the past. Always go forward. Don’t think too much. Always follow the money.

Do the Dada.

The result? Big tunes, no frills.”

I think I’m slightly frightened of them in these pictures, but here are Swedish duo Stefan Engblom & Olle Corneér, who are Dada Life, and have been heavy on the European dance scene since their first record on Mylo’s label Breastfed in 2006, touring with Tiësto and the big boys ever since.

Two things I love about them are:
1. Their ‘Guerilla Farts’ website, where they allow free downloads of their edits for their live shows, which must be pretty spectacular as they include all-time-greats such as Boys Noize – Lava Lava.
2. Another example of a share-and-share-alike mentality; their sample and remix packages, all up on their website, along with Top 10 fan remix charts. They simply say “We know that you can do it too. Maybe even better.” We like it.

Here are some very nice examples of their work:
Dada Life – Happy Hands and Happy Feet
Dada Life January Mix 2010, described by the duo as “raw chicken with extra whipped cream. Go lick it!”

They’ve also remixed the excellent MvsevmFrench Jeans; the first release from Discobelle Records.
Mvsevm – French Jeans (Dada Life Remix)

Their album Do The Dada is out The Hours records, and there are LOADS more mixes on their Fairtilizer page.
