| The confusing clouds around Dusty Kid Posted: 19 May 2009 05:56 AM PDT Confusion circles Dusty Kid like a dark cloud. Broken English spews from his Sardinian mouth, as disjointed as his musical background. As a former classicist turned techno producer, Paolo Alberto Lodde stands on the divide, one foot in the past, one foot in the future. His debut album 'A Raver's Diary' is equally perplexing, swirling from memorable song-based techno to solid dancefloor tools. And, he also insists, he is a girl. "I'm a girl in a man's body," says Dusty Kid, who sometimes wears a tshirt that reads 'I'm not gay, I'm a girl'. Dusty is obsessed by shoes, like "all normal girls in this world are shoe addicted", and his dream is to see America's Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, because a friend once told him that "in a previous life I was a hippy's son living with indians". Dusty Kid's quirkiness also extends to his longplayer, which boldly manages to capture a clubbing night out musically. "A Raver's Diary was conceived as a concept album, and I was trying to describe my vision of a rave trip, from the beginning, when you meet your friends and you start the journey, to the rave via a car journey, till the end when you come back home to the sunrise," explains Dusty Kid in this in-depth interview from his home on the secluded island of Sardinia, Italy. |

You can listen to all the remixes, and give feedback to all the producers behind them here. There's also a genre filter, so you can filter the remixes by genre which comes in handy. |
