Our new free download is ready for the taking—and, as always, it’s 100-percent DRM-free.This month we’re offering a track by Stereo Total, the greatest musical export of the coolest city on earth, Berlin. The track was remixed by the band, and it’s not available anywhere else in North America except at playboy.com/magazine/cds.
This girl-boy duo’s latest LP, Paris-Berlin, out now on Kill Rock Stars, showcases their eclectic tastes and zany sensibility. The Stereos take in everything from surf, punk, and rockabilly to French 1960s pop (ala Brigitte Bardot, Jacques Dutronc and Serge Gainsbourg), British Invasion yeah-yeah-yeah rave-ups, and even vintage hip-hop and electro—then they run it all through an array of tech effects. The result is, like the Berlin arts scene, almost dizzyingly kaleidoscopic, but also, like the city’s club scene, imbued with an incredibly propulsive energy. If you want to know what the Berlin buzz is all about, this is the place to start.
