GET YOUR “FIX”
THE UPCOMING SINGLE FROM AUSTIN’S
ELECTRONIC-PUNK BAND, POSR TO BE RELEASED June 2, 2010
Austin-based POSR knows what you want and desire. They have just what you need to get on the dance floor and shake it all night. The band that brought you “Cocaine Nose Job” is back and is bringing you a taste of the good stuff with their release, “FIX,” the latest single off their forthcoming album Known Unknown, to be released by Houston’s Tierra Studios in summer 2010.
POSR, the latest musical brainchild of world renowned dance music producer Jake Childs, showcases Childs’ edgy post-punk vocals riding over a wave of pulsating, driving beats, with support by Illson and Chris Casual on basses, and Adam Warped programming keys and synths.
“Who knew that Oklahoma City was busy releasing the biggest bangers?” asks blogger discoworkout. Well, we all know now! “FIX” features remix work by the Midwest duo Kids At The Bar. Kids At The Bar have been busy making a name for themselves in the dance scene with numerous club-banger remixes filled with up-beat drums and dirty, thrashing synthesizers. Their remix of “FIX” is no exception and it fuses high energy beats with dark, throbbing synth’s. “FIX” will be in DJ crates and heard on dance-floors worldwide.
As if that wasn’t enough, POSR has also tapped Japanese producer Kaz Nishimura for his re-envisioning of “FIX.” Hailing from the Land of the Rising Sun, Kaz blends choppy synth’s with an early 90’s breaks feel. This track will get your heart pumping and your butt moving!
“FIX is definitely a hard hitter in my life,” says Jake Childs. “It’s about the circle of nonfulfillment of want. We are always tricking ourselves with the ‘the grass is greener’ syndrome, and that vicious cycle leads us down the path of nonfulfillment and discontent. It’s like filling a void with even more void. ‘FIX’ reminds me to be content in what I do.”
“For remixing, I wanted to call on some rising stars and it HAD to be Kids At The Bar and Kaz Nishimura,” says Childs, “Their remixes are just hot! Definitely ones to watch out for!”
“FIX” is available exclusively on Beatport until June 1, 2010. “FIX” will be available on iTunes, Amazon and all your favorite online retailers on June 2, 2010. You may also preview songs from the album at http://weareposr.com

illson:
Cool. You’re here with illson from your favorite band, POSR, spending time with the people that you really love to listen to. Right now I’m here with Designer Drugs. Why don’t you introduce yourselves, guys?
Theo:
I’m Theo.
Michael:
What’s up; I’m Michael.
illson:
They’re here to play this giant party called Mega Buzz this Thanksgiving weekend. It’s thrown by Massive Intent; you guys should keep an eye out for whatever they’re doing. So guys, we’ve got one hot minute in here and I just have a handful of questions to ask you…
Michael:
Sure.
illson:
… the first of which is: in your interviews, I’ve seen that back in the day you’ve run into some raves and listened to some rave music. From those early days, do you remember any kind of artist that kind of like, struck you, that you guys can mention?
Theo:
Bad Company. Drum ‘n Bass.
Michael:
Yeah, yeah, Bad Company was really good. They were awesome.
Theo:
Paul Oakenfold. Always. Umm… All the big drum ‘n bass d.j.’s. We used to both be really into drum ‘n bass.
Michael:
Like Dillinja, Bad Company and …
Theo:
Techtronics. Fresh from Bad Company. Adam Meth. Dieselboy, we we’re really into him, really early on…
illson:
He’s from your side of town, right?
Theo:
Yeah, yeah, yup. Just all those guys out there, especially the U.K. guys.
illson:
Does punk really figure into your music, or is that just something easy to say?
Theo:
Not from my perspective, no. Not much of an influence on me.
Michael:
Yeah, I think I listen to it more than he does. Some of the new tracks, though, are pretty heavy. They have more of punk rock vocals and stuff.
Theo:
I think a lot of it is we like a lot of high-energy stuff, and a lot of punk is high-energy. They’re kind of like a parallel universe.
Michael:
A lot of distortion and stuff, too.
illson:
I’d like to know how your original music is developing; not your remixes, but the music you guys make yourselves, and what should the public be expecting in your upcoming releases?
Michael:
It’s coming along really good, actually. I’m really happy … I’m more happy doing the originals than the remixes, so we’re cutting back on the remixes a lot, and doing original stuff. The new originals, they’re very diverse. We have some really pretty songs, and we have some really punk rock songs – some really heavy, nasty distorted stuff, but we also have some really pretty songs with some singing, and rapping, and …
Theo:
We have some slow, uh …
Michael:
(laughing) … love songs!
Theo:
Yeah, we got some love songs! We got some poppier stuff. We got some, uh … just a little bit of everything for everybody, I think. As far as developing, our production skills are getting better, we’re buying new stuff. We’re just learning a lot from listening to other people’s music, and we’re trying to make everybody happy and still lean towards better quality product for everybody.
illson:
Always growing in technique, I’m assuming?
Theo:
Yeah. Always learning; for sure.
illson:
We’re all looking forward to those originals.
Michael:
There’s actually a lot more real instruments. We recorded drums for some songs, we recorded guitars, vocals; more analog stuff going on.
illson:
You’re playing piano again on it?
Michael:
Uh, yeah, yeah! We’re always playing piano.
Theo:
(laughing) Always playing piano.
illson:
Is there a song of yours that you two felt really good about, where you said, ‘hey, we did a really good job at this.’ Is there a song that holds a special place in your hearts, that you guys made?
Michael:
We just shot a music video for this one called ‘Through the Prism,’ which really came together really quick. I think it’s really fresh sounding and it’s a uh, I think it’s a really solid song. I like it a lot. I feel the integrity of it is pretty good. Yeah. A lot of the new stuff I feel pretty happy about.
Theo:
Yeah. Some of the stuff that nobody’s heard of yet I feel pretty happy with. If I was gonna go back, I would say I really liked ‘Drop Down’ a lot; that was a good one.
Michael:
Yeah, ‘Drop Down’ is really good.
Theo:
It was a hard one.
illson:
We’ve looked at your discography a little and we can go back all the way to 2008. Amazing, isn’t it? We saw an early track from Warner Bros. How was that for you guys, since it was so early in your career and you were dealing with a major label, and how does that compare to being in a small, boutique label now? Working with I Heart Comix, of course.
Theo:
Right.
Michael:
It was cool for us; we were excited, you know? Because we always want to do big stuff, so it was cool to work with a big label, you know?
Theo:
It was our first experience with a major label, but most of our remixes are attached with a certain label; some are bigger than others, We’ve done stuff with, I don’t know – twenty other labels, maybe? I don’t know. A lot of labels.
Michael:
Maybe ten.
Theo:
Yeah, maybe ten, something like that. A lot of labels.
Michael:
Mostly smaller ones. They’ve all been cool. Everything’s been … good working with them.
illson:
And finally: Wes Anderson or Wes Craven?
(silence)
Theo:
(laughing) Who?
Michael:
(laughing)
Theo:
Wes Anderson? (laughing) Who’s Wes Anderson?
Michael:
Is that Diplo?
illson:
Rushmore.
Michael:
I don’t know, man. Honestly, I’m not familiar with either.
illson:
Ok. Finally …
Michael:
We’re more … I don’t know … what kind of movies? Oh, I like uh … Greg Araki’s movies.
illson:
Oh, cool! Yeah, ‘Doom Generation’!
Michael:
Yeah, been watching him a lot lately, actually.
illson:
He’s a favorite of mine, too.
Michael:
I like ‘Nowhere,’ too. ‘Nowhere’ is a really good one.
Theo:
Never seen him (laughing).
Michael:
Really? I think you might have seen some …
Theo:
Really? I don’t know.
illson:
You should try ‘Doom Generation.’
Theo:
I’d love to.
illson:
It’s a hot one.
Theo:
Sounds cool.
illson:
Well kids, that’s it! That’s a hot minute with Designer Drugs. Good luck with your set tonight. Four a.m., right?
Theo:
Four to five.
Michael:
Stay up.
illson:
Always good advice. Good night!
Review: Learning Secrets 6 Year Anniversary at Beauty Bar with CLASSIXX & WOOLFY 1/22/10
February 3, 2010 by adamwarped
Filed under Blog, Reviews/Mixtapes
I was psyched when I first heard that Learning Secrets had booked Classixx and Woolfy for their six year anniversary party. It seems that Ian Orth & Jeremy are kindred spirits with me when it comes to all things disco, italo, & boogie.
Unfortunately while arriving fashionably late we missed the opening dj’s sets as well as Woolfy’s performance. Beauty Bar had the back parking lot fenced off where they had set up a tent and were having several bands play. We entered thru the rear gate and quickly rushed past the band playing outside(sorry guys). I was in a hurry and had been anxiously anticipating this night for quite a while and no one could stop me now. We could hear the enticing pulse of the bass and the sweet sounds of synth arpeggios in the air.
It was actually kind of hard to squeeze into the back door just past the men’s bathroom as the building was entirely rammed full of people. Wow, I hadn’t seen Beauty Bar this crazy since SXSW ’09. Classixx was already mid-set and fully rocking out dropping nu-disco bombs and classic deep house gems to a writhing throng of super sexy and up for it party people. The boys mixes were spot on and their programming was tight. Even though you almost needed a shoehorn to maneuver your way through the thick sweaty crowd everyone seemed quite gracious and in a pleasant yet festive mood.
We eventually worked our way onto the dance floor and wiggled for a few before heading to the bar to grab some drinks. It was quite a night, I ran into friends from all kinds of scenes, all the way from goths to ravers. Great job guys, happy anniversary, and cheers to another 6 years! -Adam Warped
Here are a few train-spots from Classixx’s set…
Lindstrom & Christabelle- “Baby Can’t Stop” Aeroplane Dub
Phoenix – Lisztomania (Classixx Version)
Chicken Lips-”Blank Tape”

Captains Log . The journey for a free good time. (Franki Chan Night Out)
February 3, 2010 by Jake Childs
Filed under Blog, Reviews/Mixtapes
It was a cold and miserable night for me i felt like i went threw hell these last couple days(literally i have) but anyways…, So me and the infamous Adam Warped decided to journey into the night to frolic amongst the red river crowd..crowd i say… i wish there was .. we arrived at the scene about 11ish thinking it would be packed to the gills, surprisingly there were like 3 or 4 people in the whole place. We both kinda scratched our heads and decided to hop to the next room of sex and alcohol.
As we entered the next room of pleasures, i was greeted by one of my favorite people at plush, John! (love this guy) anyways as i knocked down a couple of club sodas and heard a few beats from ram-z and crew we decided to head back to Barbarella(a young lady informed Adam that Frankis status on FB said he had landed and was on way) so naturally we headed back thinking it should have picked up.Well it didn’t, but none the less we saw one of our fav DJ, Simon, aka Prepmode and we started chatting him up to kill the time, there was a really good dj on called Hoddie Allen that was grinding it.. not bad not bad..
So as I’m in my usual position of staring at a screen and typing a way i look up and see no other than my Richard Henry and Franki Chan enter the building, amongst other . So i naturally greeted my homie Richard and said a quick hello to Franki and informed him that the interview that we had done before hand at beauty bar was basically no good cause the mic was bad, but we did transcribe it as best as we could ..(seems like i went threw hell trying to get an interview with Franki i even had a person in LA but the film guy flaked on us,,,, ugg so embarrassing .. anyways as he got on the decks more people started to com in and it started to actually fill up a bit.. over all it cheered up my night and Franki threw down some nice beats.. and the crowd was small and intimate couldn’t have asked for a better night to put a smile on my face..
2 thumbs up for Barbarella and Franki Chan!
