Strut to the Stuff
Fresh from DJing shows at last week’s Festival Mode and Design, The Tanuki Project has launched its trippin’ debut album.
During live shows, the Montreal-based electro-rock band creates an intense audio-visual experience with a video director projecting visual images set to the hypnotic live music. Now we can recreate the experience at home with Playground for Everyone that includes 52 minutes of downloadable visual material.
The rhythmic drumming and trip-hop beats had us strutting around the house like it was our very own catwalk.$7.99 on iTunes.

Mistress of Music
Those days of waiting until 4 a.m. to catch the latest hot DJ set have lost their appeal.
Thankfully our favorite Montreal turntablist Misstress Barbara has come out from behind her mixers with I’m No Human. This debut album blends her signature synth sounds with drums, bass and actual (gasp) lyrics. We love the catchy "I’m Running" single with Sam Roberts, the electro version of Leonard Cohen’s "Dance Me to the End of Love" and the newly released remix of "Four on the Floor," sung in English, French and Italian. She performs with her band Girls On A Ducati tomorrow night at the very civilized hour of 9 p.m.
February 4, 9 p.m. Club Soda, 1225 St-Laurent Blvd., Montreal, tickets from $20, 514-908-9090, www.geg.ca
I’m No Human, $7.99 on iTunes.
