You may remember a certain degree of splooging over a band called So I'm Jo last year on this very blog. aBillion is the rising electronic phoenix to emerge from the dissolution of So I'm Jo, and I've been informed by a good chum that there's brand new material coming very shortly that will shake you harder than an irritated meth-head looking for change. In the meantime, enjoy this full EP stream - Soldiers is phenomenal: aBillion - EP by aBillion [...]
The best thing about coming across some quality, lesser known artists, is that there is a good chance that they have friends who are also quality, lesser known artists. My previous post today was on Sydney's Frames, and as I cast my eye down his facebook wall, I noticed a little plug for two piece production outfit aBillion. Clicking through the taglink it became apparent that I had already 'liked' these guys some time ago and then clearly proceeded to do nothing about it - typical. aBillion have an impressive ep up on Soundcloud/Bandcamp - a bonfire of [...]
Flavour of today's post is looking local at some up and coming Sydney producers. First up is aBillion who are riding the chill-wave buzz with some impeccably clean and remarkably well produced tunes. Slow-Mo Lo-Fi house with enough funk in the bass line to knock up the girl next door. The perfect soundtrack for slammin beers on a hot summers day and/or other related activities. You'll dig if you like the sounds of Oriol , Toro Y Moi , and even some of the [...]
We had some server issues our first go around with Music Alliance Pact this month, but technology be damned - we're ready to unleash February's MAP of 2011!

Turn up the mother fucking ambiance. New Sydney band 'abillion' are back with their next single, and it's good. If you missed my post on them last week, then google it. We are young is light on everything but heavy on the verb. Swirling synth sweeps, clicks, horns, guitar and bells fill the void between start to finish in an elegant manner. Think Toro Y moi on some hectic hectic gear, only the hectic gear made him mellow out and buy a vocoder. This baddy is available for the bargain basement bin price of $1 from [...]

The 15th of the month = Music Alliance Pact day. It's the day that The Pop Cop takes full advantage of its tartan-tinted view of life to foist a musically-gifted so-and-so from Scotland upon the readers of music websites all across the world, and each of our MAP counterparts do likewise. Today's choice is REVERIE , you should get to know her... To download all 33 songs in one file click here [...]

Este mês, no M.A.P., Portugal traz um artista mas também um projecto de um português. Com um espírito algo semelhante ao do Music Alliance Pact, a divulgação intercultural de artistas locais mas com a adicional tarefa de colocar músicos, de Portugal, Macau e Hong Kong, a colaborar conjuntamente, foi a ideia de David Valentim, para a compilação "T(h)ree". Esta, que é a primeira compilação de outras que se adivinham, com o mesmo objectivo, do lado português, teve a participação de: The Allstar Project, A Naifa, AbztraQt Sir QBalla, Bernado Devlin, [ch'os], Erro!, [...]
Luna asta vă propunem o trupă care deja şi-o construit un nume destul de mare pe scena românească, atât prin concerte dar şi prin mult lăudatul album de debut. Vorbesc de White Walls și al lor Mad Man Circus . Chiar daca muzica e mai agresivă decât ce-am avut pe aici în ultima vreme, e foarte bună, iar puţin metal nu strică niciodată.

Jälle käes kuu viieteistkümnes kuupäeva ja aeg Music Alliance Pactiks. Kuna mina ja Lõuna-Aafrika esindaja oleme viimasel kuul liighõivatud olnud ja pole jõudnud MAPile omapoolseid lugusid seekord valida, tuleb leppida sedapuhku vaid 33 looga, aga järgmisel kuul olema taas tagasi. Venetsueelal ja Norral on sellest kuust alates uued esindajablogid, visake silm peale. Ja kuna ma olen tõesti päris hõivatud olnud, on MAP seekord tõlkimata, harjutagem inglist. Ja nüüd kuulama.
