New York's Low Life Inc. has teamed with French label Boxon to usher Turkish dance goliaths Gooseflesh here to the states, probably the most promising collaboration between the West and the former Ottoman empire since the Treaty of Lausanne.

Ulas Pakkan (aka Jackdied) and Volkan Akaalp (aka Jasko) have built fair stateside cred by way of remixes for both Tiga and Digitalism, but a sustainable DJ crew is only as good as their original compositions- like a killer studio band that can't play live. As evidenced on the below "Still Wild", Gooseflesh certainly bangs with the same confidence of their dance floor demolition crew contemporaries. The group shines however where others go dark, flexing a positive, hook-friendly brand of roof raising; hiding the hammers behind their backs with big grins.

No wonder the French are eating this stuff up.
