EDJ Guest mix Vol. 25 - Pattern We all know Manchester is a hotbed of contemporary electronic musical talent right now. Talent that spreads itself comfortably across the divides of previously genre binding constrictions. The latest affiliate of these ranks is Pattern. Also known as Bane, those local to Manchester may know him from cross-counter encounters at Eastern Bloc Records. He's certainly struck a chord with EDJ favourite and general Manc legend Marcus Intalex who has hand-picked him as a resident at Soul:tion's regular nights up north under his Bane alias. The latest [...]
EDJ Guest mix Vol. 25 - Pattern We all know Manchester is a hotbed of contemporary electronic musical talent right now. Talent that spreads itself comfortably across the divides of previously genre binding constrictions. The latest affiliate of these ranks is Pattern. Also known as Bane, he has been doing his thing for a few years now. Those local to Manchester may know him from cross-counter encounters at Eastern Bloc Records. He's certainly struck a chord with EDJ favourite and general Manc legend, Marcus Intalex who has hand-picked him as a resident at [...]
We don't know anything about Form & Shapes , which makes an Introducing post a little difficult to say the least. There isn't any blurb on his Bandcamp page or even a Facebook page at all, we just have one small tidbit from his .com site, which simply states; // ethereal feelings beat tapes by calvin hansen // Whoever Calvin Hansen is, the music of Form & Shape is stunning; most definitely ethereal and certainly primed to evoke feelings. Latest release, My Conquest Is The Sea Of [...]
Between the music studies and the day job creating flower arrangements (for Valentine's Day, miss Valentine even held a flower bouquet stand at the Maison Kitsuné Paris boutique!), classically trained Alison Valentine crafts feminine laptop pop just like the delectable and tropical "Circles and Triangles" featured on the new Kitsuné AMERICA 2 compilation! We asked [...]
Words by Sammy Maine Over the past few months, it seems like we've been swimming in a sea of nostalgia. There's been an explosion of bands desperate to regain the 'guitar-glory days,' with overzealous nods to Brit-pop, shoegaze and the like. It's all very well but the influx of these bands has caused the genre to feel a little thin. Thankfully, Mazes are a band that have been able to keep afloat since their early singles and brilliant debut LP, ' A Thousand Heys ' (2011); an album full of lo-fi poppy offerings, their [...]
When your name (I presume, anyway) references a Nick Drake record, it's almost expected that your music will carry a sense of quiet affection and restraint along with it and thankfully that's exactly, and brilliantly, the case with Melbourne duo Brighter Later. Come And Go is their new single; the last to be released before their The Wolves LP is unleashed this coming March. Elegantly constructed and beautifully layered, Come And Go is a subtle ode to changing seasons and changing times. Stream it below; [...]
The Pets Recordings family brings you a taste from their upcoming compilation Pets Will Carry You Home Too . Daniel Pearce aka Eats Everything brings us this gloriously disheveled tweedy makeover of Catz 'n Dogz ' "Mass Confusion". The collection is scheduled to be released digitally on February 4th 2013 and physically on the 18th of March. Keep your eyes peeled for our Eats Everything interview, which will be up on Monday for your viewing pleasure. Bless, Rader [...]
Dauwd is finally back with some new material. His upcoming EP, titled ‘Heat Division’, is the first new material we've heard from Dauwd in close to a year. It is a bit different from his usual sound, and is describe as "uniquely poised between the mechanical automations found in contemporary techno and the warm and texturally organic compositions we have come to expect from [ Dauwd ]." Check out his track 'And,' below. Heat Division will see the light of day on March 12th.
Words by Sammy Maine It’s incredibly easy to hate Foxygen . They unashamedly showcase their influences in a way that would make most high-and-mighty fans of 60’s and 70’s rock turn up their noise. Yes, vocalist Sam France does sound a bit like Mick Jagger; yes, they do sound a bit like The Kinks/ The Beatles / early David Bowie and yes, on first inspection they look like they stepped straight out of a Wes Anderson slo-mo scene but delve a little deeper and you may just fall a little bit in love. [...]
Words by Sammy Maine With all the back-to-work blues hanging around, it's time for some escapism. Thankfully, New Yorkers Life & Limb have just the thing to help ease those January woes. This latest track ' Cage Seeks Bird ' is the third single from their self-titled album which was released back on 20th November on Enclaves . The band are made up of Italian born Andrea Mangia and New Yorker Mike McGuire, who met back in 2006 after discovering each other's solo work online. There couldn't have been a better fitting, as [...]

I've always been a big fan of remixes that draw you in with subtle nuances before suddenly turning bat-shit crazy and firing you down a road you didn't even catch a glimpse of, let alone consider walking down. Doss is the latest signing to Acephalé and this track is a bizarre and inspired re-working of HTDW's most pure pop moment to-date and we've fallen pretty hard for it. (There's also something very endearing about someone who refuses to play the PR game; head over The Fader to see the 'press [...]
“I was on the verge to scream, when you wouldn’t scream about anything.” Three-piece On an On are the creators of this beautiful lull called “Ghosts” and quite honestly, I can’t think of a single reason you shouldn’t give this a listen. Similar in that staccato rythmatical pattern trademarked by Interpol for the better part of ten years; it tugs at you for the first half of the song, before letting you float away as the music eventually breaks up within itself. There is nothing neither complex nor clever about it. Just close your [...]
Image by Panta Rhei [AnD] Mancunian duo AnD have quickly become a cult name in techno circles, delivering solid, purist-leaning, and on occasion downright brutal 123s with increasing regularity over the past couple of years. Following a slick 2011 Idle Hands release with much rougher fare on Horizontal Ground, Black Sun, and Hidden Hawaii, here they ably continue the more violent end of their trajectory with this bestial swine of a slab. [...]
Life & Limb is the collaborative epithet of Italian Andrea Mangia and Mike McGuire of New York. Their new, self-titled, LP is set to drop later this month - courtesy of Bristol-via-Brooklyn label Enclaves - and we're very pleased to bring you an exclusive download from said record in the form of the short, but wonderfully sweet, Carry On . Though only two-and-a-half minutes in length, the track does more than enough to stick around in your consciousness for far longer than its running time. Laid back summer vibes [...]
Emerging from the blossoming new folk scene in Calgary, Reuben Bullock has the type of transient voice that lulls you into a cottony state of calm, instantly transporting you away from whatever grimy hole you're squatting in too the most serene corners of your mind..... So it's not surprising that he and his Dark - a Canadian quartet - were discovered under rather surreal circumstances when Florence and the Machine manager Mairead Nash walked past a beach front cafe in Mexico playing their music, loved what she heard, inquired about [...]
Words by Tom Dickinson On October the 22nd, Jonathan Abramson, or Between You and Me as he is better known, drops ‘ Crystal Aquarium ’, a four track EP that couldn’t sound more like it’s title if it was a giant glistening fishbowl. Abramson's efforts on this album are very evocative of the Miami beaches he hails from with its deep synths, muffled filters and drifting melodies. It kicks off with ‘ Feast ’, a delicious, pulsating mash of modulated synths lines and pounding beats, it is perhaps [...]
On October 30th, Peter Quinn - aka GPSYMTH - releases a new record, Ripostes , via Stars & Letters record. The first-taster from the record dropped into our inbox this week and hooked its colourful claws in from outset. The hazy synths present an animated back-drop for the distant and disguised vocals to weave themselves in and out of, creating a track that is both chill and effervescent in equal measure. Grab the free download below and be sure to check the full record out at the end of the [...]
