Redshape – The man in the red mask
Just been speaking to my friend Gareth via F’book who is always a great person to speak to for new music or reccomendations and he’s pointed me in the direction of Redshape, whom he saw live the other week alongside Shackleton.
He’s pointed me in the direction of a mix by him up at Shaped World [...]
Dave Gahan “Saw Something/Deeper and Deeper” – Remixes by Skream, Juan McClean and T Raumschmiere
Dave Gahan, that legend. The one and only lead singer of Depeche Mode, one of my favourite bands released his new single from the Hourglass album on the 20th. The CD Maxi has a slew of remixes from big big names in the electronic genre.
My favourite is the Skream remix which is the typical Skream [...]
Caspa – Pitch Black EP
Fresh from mixing the latest Fabric 37 CD with Rusko, this 12” is further proof that Caspa is slaying dancefloors across the globe. A blend of dark, depressing beats paired with rolling low end bass, these slabs of dubstep pleasure will have you beaming whether you’re sitting in a darkened room or skanking out in [...]
Whitest Boy Alive – Burning
I’ve been a bit slow up on the uptake with Whitest Boy Alive, one of Erland Oye’s sideprojects, who have recently signed to Modular Records
Missed their show at the Hoxton Bar and Grill this year, but hope to catch up with them at the Electric Ballroom in February – I can’t miss this one! [...]
New Ed Banger signing – DSL
DSL are the new French hip-hoppers on Ed Banger Records. They have some pretty good tracks on their myspace.
I like the sound of “Invaders”. I don’t really understand French Hip Hop too well, but they always sound good, the tracks that is. They remind me of TTC a little in the fact that [...]
Navid Tahernia – MyLikeStyle (Kompakt Speicher 56)
Old heroes never die. After years of being laid back and relaxed ex-minmal-trance-preacher Navid Tahernia, also Kompakt employee, is back on the musical scene. And back realy means back cause ‘Mylikestyle’ is purest oldschool.
Those of us, who are long enough involved into this music know the feeling, when we are listening to some all time [...]
Guido Schneider vs Jay Haze – Acai Force (Fuckpony Dark Passenger Mix)
Guido Schneider has cemented his reputation as one of the most consistent producers in 00s house and techno with releases on Pokerflat, Get Physical, Raum…musik, and Moon Harbour. his return to Tuning Spork after 2005’s “earth browser” is something to get excited about, but Guido isn’t flying solo this time around. instead, he’s teamed up [...]
Gui Boratto – Shebang
Gui Boratto, the Brazilian master producer who releases on Kompakt along side a few other labels is one of my heroes. From the moment I saw him DJ at one of the Kompakt nights at Plastic People this year he pretty much has stuck on my daily play in Itunes ever since.
Shebang is a bleeping, [...]
Burial – Archangel
Yes, im behind the times, and yes, this has been blogged about a million times, but who cares when the track is just that GOOD. Spooky, haunting and dark, yet makes me smile..how does that work?
From the interview with Burial on Wire:
Wire: …When I listen to the record, I can’t work out whether the vocals [...]
Bjork X Michel Gondry – Declare Independence
The newest track Bjork, Declare Indepence is a military state of affairs.
“Menacing” doesn’t even begin to describe the sound of this: LOUD drums, buzzing synths, distortion, and screaming vocals turn this into something quite militant in sound. Simple lyrics, worm their way into your head and before you know it you’ll be chanting along. See [...]
