The young Size Records duo responsible for " Troll " is back with their most impressive production since joining Steve Angello's squad. Tiesto premiered Qulinez's remix of The Joy Formidable's "A Heavy Abacus" at UMF and used the track to help craft one of the biggest sets of the weekend . As rips of the track hit the web, it became clear that Qulinez has a giant summer anthems on their hands — a monster that just might top "Troll." Their expert use of those signature synths creates a big room sound that can not be contained in a [...]
Orange County, CA punk/hardcore band Ignite has announced a string of dates on the east coast this December. The band released Our Darkest Days in 2006 on Abacus Recordings .
Os galeses do The Joy Formidable lançaram essa semana mais um clipe de divulgação de seu ótimo álbum de estreia, The Big Roar , lançado em janeiro desse ano. Novamente dirigido por Christopher Mills , responsável pelo segundo clipe de Whirring ( assista aqui ), o clipe dá uma repaginada no conceito de vídeo usando bastidores da banda. Para isso, o diretor usou uns filtros bem bacanas que dão um ar de animação (ou quadrinhos) ao video. Eis uma parceria que deu certo: Leia [...]

I've been mainlining The Joy Formidable's The Big Roar for months, and I still can't get enough. Initially I was completely attached to "Whirring," but it didn't take long for the other tracks to start twisting through my veins. "A Heavy Abacus" is an equally fierce coup for the Welsh outfit, all delicious electronica and bellowing guitar riffs, providing the perfect bed for Ritzy Bryan's gorgeous vocals to wallow in. Today they released the official video for "A Heavy Abacus". Check it: Follow The Joy Formidable [...]

Botany ~ "Agave"(mp3 download via stereogum ) Botany , aka Spencer Stephenson, is releasing the EP Feeling Today on November 9th with the full album due spring 2011. Everything I have heard is pretty hypnotic, floaty, and all the way rad. Botany will be playing some CMJ shows on 10/20, so try to check 'em out if you are going to CMJ. Bonus: Botany ~ "Waterparker" ( mp3 download via pitchfork ) [...]
Spencer Stephenson aka ex- Abacus devient à ce jour Botany et signe chez Western Vinyl qui proposera son Ep « Feeling Today » le 09 novembre. (Titre que je vous avais déjà proposé par ici ). Mais si tout cela n'était qu'à retenir, je ne vous parlerai point de Spencer dans Sunnybrook et de Sleep Whale . Et encore moins de son LP à paraitre au printemps 2011. Alors pour vous y retrouver, j'utilise, comme la majorité des internautes Google Maps en cherchant Abacus et Botany. [...]

For some traditional sounding but fresh and free UK Hip Hop hop over to the Megaformz Bandcamp site for a couple of downloads. 'Jazzy Ways' samples THAT quote from Slick Rick (the most succesful UK rapper ever? (just a thought)) and the beat is by Funky DL. Otee, Abacus, Dreadmaster Flex, Sharlene and Dan Dappa all have some creative input on this one - good to hear both male and female vocals together on a track. 'Life' features [...]
Sigh. All my horses that I had in the race have failed me. The World Cup is kind of meaningless for me, but I'm going to make an honest effort to make it to Brazil in 2014. You know what really grinds my gears, the debacle over in Cleveland. I understand that "King James" has a brand he wants to nurture, but it doesn't involve winning a championship where all the pressure lies on his shoulders. I hope he gets what coming to him and the "Cleveland Curse" is taken down South. [...]

Enjoy this new jam from producer Spencer Stephenson, aka Abacus . "Feeling Today" is slated to appear on Stephenson's full-length debut, which should see release either at the end of this year or the beginning of 2011. It's a really cool track to set you sailing into your weekend. [via Pitchfork ] [...]
Lushlife- "Meridian Sound Part 23 (Abacus Remix) Lushlife - "Meridian Sound Part 23 (Abacus Remix) taken from Leisure Class/Stick-Up Kids which will be out digitally 12/14 on Rapster. Bio: Part of what makes Lushlife's music so dynamic is the Philly producer/emcee's love of subverting notions of what flies within the hip-hop idiom. Live mandolin overdubs? Rapping over an Ariel Pink sample? It would sound chancy if it didn't work so well. So when the idea surfaced of assembling a remix collection for his [...]
Sleep Whale is a veritable Super Group, with at least three separate outcroppings of the band now finding success in Abacus , Sunnybrook and Melting Season - and further mélange in Motherly and Northern . Sleep Whale look like a jam band and play like an orchestra. If krautrock was the colorful, peculiar German uncle, Sleep Whale is the mellower American nephew that could only have been born after 90s shoegaze. Even moreso I hear Another Green World influenced in their music which is never a bad album to [...]
