If you enjoyed the absolutely delirious track ‘I love my Daft Punk’ posted earlier, some more joy has come the way of the universe of pre-shrunk jeans. The artiste Eluusif, demonstrates some serious ‘Space Balls’ in the form of his imaginatively titled EP ‘Aliens do it Better’. The sound is danceworthy dubstep, vocals are cheesy, and the lyrics follow the same nonsensically brilliant pattern which probed our ‘senses’ and stirred our imaginations in the previous single. Without further ado, a couple of top picks form the EP:

Karan Khurana
Karan Khurana ( Born in 1982, Mumbai, India) makes photos and mixed media artworks. By using popular themes such as pointlessness, old monuments and nightlife, Khurana creates intense personal moments by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.
His photos don’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations.
His works are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, he makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of consumer-oriented superabundance and marketing.
His works often refer to pop and mass culture. Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created.
Karan Khurana currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany!
