are you feeling otherworldly on this friday morning/afternoon/evening? if so, youve come to the right place, because we have a real otherworldly song for you today, courtesy of germanys own boys noize, alias of alex ridha. his latest album “power”was released earlier this week and unfortunatly for us there dont seem to be many american tour dates save a few on the west coast coming up any time soon. based on the videos on his myspace page, the shows look pretty bangin. and as usual im jealous because hes only a year older than me but is a world famous dj whos been at it for over a decade.

i havent heard the album yet, but its hard to imagine that “gax” is not one of the highlights, and if its not, then all i can say is “damn gina!” this track seems to carry you away into a parallel universe, one that is full of heavy beats and a beautiful driving melody (make sure to hang on at least until after the first minute when the beat comes in). and the title reminds me a bit of childhood as well, since it conjures up images of nickelodeons gak, not to be confused with the slightly less popular floam. man, that stuff was pretty nasty now that i think about it. it was wet, but it wasnt. anyway, jon, you can go ahead and throw this one into your next mix too, i feel like it will be a crowd pleaser among our friends of fun cohort.
