L.A. production tandem Guns N Bombs beat the bloghaus types to the punch by
signing with trés chic French label Kitsuné late in 2006 (and on a MySpace
message no less). Their rip-snorting "Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere" shredded
U.S. dancefloors throughout 2007, with its desperate robot vocals and a sawtooth
router bit. Formed by Ima Robot bassist Filip Turbotito and Chicago DJ Johnny Love,
they have already remixed tracks from Klaxons and Chromeo. A forthcoming album,
not picked up by a label so far, should make a serious impact on the culture of
U.S.-bred dance music. Of course, neither Love nor Turbotito were born inside our
borders (Italy and Denmark, respectively).

Unpretentious and unforgivingly badass, L.A.'s Guns 'n' Bombs (including
an Ima Robot and ex-Junior Senior member) single-handedly put the United States
outside New York back on my techno map, blow current German electro
standards out of the water and give Paris’s New French Touch a run for its money.
