Lazy Fat People are a musical duo on the rise, made up of Swiss DJ/Producers Ripperton and Mirko Loko. Now, you may be thinking Switzerland has more of a name for making top-quality time pieces than pushing back the boundaries of dance music, however things are swinging around a little in recent times.

Swiss/Chilean DJ and Producer Luciano has hit the big time as a poster boy of Minimal Techno along with Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin (possibly with more substance?). His effort for the Sci-Fi-Hi-Fi mix CD series endeared many listeners to his style in 2006, gained wide critical acclaim and cemented his A-List status in the electronic music world among the masses.

Lazy Fat People are coming up fast on their compatriot's heels however. Despite the duo's name they had a positively hectic 2006 with much celebrated single and EP releases on various big name labels (See this post on Ronan's Blog last February). They have also been under a heavy touring schedule showcasing their talented live performance and tag-team DJ antics around Europe's top techno clubs.

You know how it is on a long lazy summery weekend like we have in store. You don't want the bother of constantly reaching to change tracks however you decide to lounge your way through the weekend.

So, for your delectation here is a 3:15 (yes that's 3 hours and 15 minutes) mp3 of a recent show(Jan 6th) Lazy Fat People did on their home turf of Lusanne's Loft Club, incorporating live performance and DJing.

It's a top notch set of atmospheric electronic bumps and beats ranging from lush deep house hooks to more fortifying straight techno instanity. What makes the mix stand out for me is there are lots of quirky sounding elements woven here and there throughout the mix, kaleidoscope like, that really catch your attention. Now, if you'll just hand me that cocktail...

Have a good weekend!
