Not content with running two festivals, / founder Ben Robinson is also part of long-running collaborative act Hello Cosmos, a long-running recording project with a huge cast of collaborators and an accompanying collection of remixes from electronic artists that Robinson has worked with over his career. First remix ‘Raise The Dawn’ acts as an exciting precursor to a remix album due out later this year, which will represent Robinson’s fascination with the collision between indie-rock and dance influences, and his desire to bring them together. ‘Raise The Dawn’ comes on like The Fall produced by DFA Records, a lost B-side with a brazen battle cry against mediocrity scrapping with frantic piano and an infectious dance-rock groove. For this first remix, Robinson enlisted veteran producer Joe Thompson, known for ghost producing in the late 90s and early 00's for international DJs, and having records regularly playlisted by such EDM trailblazers as Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk and Ferry Corsten. Speaking about the project Robinson said, “Hello Cosmos has been an ever-evolving project and this feels a natural time to let people hear what we have been up to. Between running festivals and creating and performing music over the last couple of decades I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with some incredible people. The release of Hello Cosmos and getting back out performing live is the start of a new chapter that I hope people connect with and join the ride.” After a decade in the shadows running two UK festival mainstays, Ben Robinson is stepping out into the live arena in his own right with Hello Cosmos. The live band debuted at Manchester’s CWNINE Festival in May at the request of Tim Burgess and will follow that with sets Robinson’s own festivals later this summer. Check out ‘Raise The Dawn’ below. Hello Project Battle Festival [ハロープロジェクト! バトルフェスティバル] is one of the coolest Fighter Maker 95 games that most have probably never heard of before (and I couldn't fit the whole title), but it's been around for at least a good four years. It uses a mostly simple fighting system that allows for a limited amount of combos and technical moves, more akin to an old-school fighter with a greater degree of character balance. Considering it uses the FM95 engine, it features lots of characters (to this day, it seems the author has yet to implement four characters), twenty stages, and large sprites with nice animations (not unlike Takase's 'Arm Joe'). It seems fairly close to completion and is based on 'Morning Musume'. The thing I like about the characters in this game most is that they are, for the most part, fairly original. Even the 'Michael Jackson' female has strange attacks you wouldn't expect like turning into a soccer player or carrying you off into space and crashing you down like a meteor. How many games can you honestly fight with a janitor lady who is also semi-attractive, slams a train into you, does a martial arts super counter move, or does a costume combo (solo concert) and strikes you as a magical girl home-run star?
