I first found out about Telefon Tel Aviv 2 years ago when I was digging for some Trip-Hop/IDM. This Electronica duo has always had a special spot in my heart. The melodic synths teamed with glitching bleeps and bloops touches the very core of my musical soul. Last year Jan 22nd 2009, great musician (and half of Telefon Tel Aviv) Charlie Wesley passed away . It came to me as a great shock that he had died so sudden, so young and only 2 days after their album release of Immolate Yourself. There was rumous that Charlie [...]
I have a couple of staple electronic acts to share with you today. Apparat's collaboration with Ellen Allien which during its release was the pinnacle of that epic synth techno trying to be pop which others like Josh Holden , Superpitcher , and Nathan Fake also made a name for themselves. Morgan Geist who you might know from working with Junior Boys and Metro Area puts together dreamy synth melody that I want to hear Erlend Oye sing over. [...]
Seguimos con nuestro top álbumes particular, los que se quedaron cerquita de lograr primeros puestos. Las portadas llevan enlaces a los discos en Spotify , en la medida de lo posible, como en el top 10, para poderle dar una escucha nostálgica. Que muchos podrían estar en el top 10? Es obvio que sí, pero también todos podríamos ser riquísimos, tener tías jamonas dándonos de comer o volar, y no es así, así que estos son los resultados de la evolución, de la suerte o de nuestra voluntad. Joyitas todo. Desde los dos de Hot Chip (que [...]
This Christmas week we are counting down our top 50 albums of 2009 taken from the personal lists of 35 of the State writers and photographers. No doubt, there will be tears, spilled milk, outcry, acceptance and surprises along the way. We hope you find something you overlooked in the course of the year. In our 50 to 41 list we encounter our first Irish album, the return of some elder grunge rockers, a surprising little-heard folk pop album, a brilliant electronic collaboration, a brash Memphis garage rocker and the third album from Sheffield's finest young band. [...]
to high places by narrow roads music. Other Lives - E minor Benoit Pioulard - Palimend Apparat - Arcadia (Boys Noize remix) I Am Not A Gun - Sundays will never be the same (Dntel remix)
Apparat en T. Raumschmiere hebben samen een label in Berlijn opgericht genaamd Shitkatapult! (en werken daarmee samen met BoysNoize Records maar het gedetailleerde verhaal staat vast ergens op wikipedia). Aangezien ik fan ben van Apparat (laat mij een album horen dat net zo consistent goed is als Walls en ik tik hem aan)(je gebalde vuist)(met mijn vuist). T. Raumschmiere kennen jullie wel van de vuige electropunk en het terechte hitje Monstertruckdriver van een paar jaar geleden. Als je Apparat niet kent moet je je gaan schamen. Een [...]
La scène nordique regorge de talents, autant que ses eaux regorgent d'écrevisses. Tony Anthem est originaire de Norvege, de Oslo plus précisémment. Et comme leur pays est classé numéro 1 sur les libertés de presse, je me permettrais de dire que la presque-île regroupant la Norvège et la suède, ressemble très portrait sur carte à un sexe . (Une remarque gratuite, sur fond de presse toute aussi gratuite) Enfin tout ça pour dire que Foxy Lady de notre Tony Anthem est une tuerie basslinesque . [...]
Los berlineses Apparat y Modeselektor han extraido el sudor y pestilencia del dubstep, el sonido escondido del underground londinense que Burial se encargo de sacar a la luz y darle importancia como nunca antes, trip-hop, rapeos oscuros y maquetas electronicas seran el nuevo sonido popular, el otro futuro de la musica que Moderat se ha adelantado en enseñarnos. El autotitulado debut de esta bendita mutación es una obra maestra. Moderat - Out of Sight (mp3) :
gonna keep this one short and sweet. check this one out. the artist is ok ikumi , which is actually karl jorgensen from salt lake city, ut. and the track is "shining path pt. 23 but im not really sure if there is a part 1 and where it can be located, but i know that there is a part 3 on his myspace page . thats pretty much all i can find out about him. this track is a great example of the shiny and happy wing of the electronic music [...]
To play catch up from last week's missed mix, I'm giving you two once again. They're timely with their themes, the first being all German artists and the second being songs about war. In fact, in many ways these two themes are inextricably linked. As everyone celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, it inevitably brings Berlin's extraordinary history, along with Germany's more generally, back into the spotlight. And Cold War is war after all. I've written about how much I love Berlin here before, and it still remains one of my top cities [...]
"Sad-Step"...? " Pourquoi Moderat c’est aussi triste ? Modeselektor (Gernot) : C’est à cause de lui ( Apparat ). On fait les beats et lui rend ça triste. Non, je plaisante. Je ne dirais pas que c’est triste. Je dirais plutôt que c’est « dark ». Portishead, par exemple, c’est plus « dark » que triste. Nous, c’est pareil. On ne voulait pas faire un disque « Modeselektor featuring [...]
Sascha Ring (=Apparat) post een blog op zijn Myspace waarin hij zich afvraagt waarom mensen naar een concert gaan en de hele tijd staan te praten. Dan heeft hij het niet over bezoekers die aan de bar staan, maar gewoon midden op de dansvloer en in Tivoli zelfs vlak voor z'n neus. "Het is niet respectvol" zegt Sascha "op zo'n moment zou ik wel willen stoppen met spelen. Misschien dat ik dat de volgende keer wel doe als het gepraat boven de muziek uitkomt." Wat vind jij? Moet er meer respect komen naar optredende [...]
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, which effectively was the Fall of Communism in Germany. The wall was built in 1961 and wasn't pulled down until the 9th of November 1989. With me having a German grandmother i've always had a keen interest in all things German from a young age and have been told many stories about the Berlin wall by my Gran and my mum. Seeing as this isn't a history lesson though i'm not going to waffle on about the Berlin Wall, i'll get to the point, this weeks [...]
Du très, très lourd. Je me demande s'il y a pas autant d'hétéros que d'homos dans les gay prides, parce qu'un son pareil, ça attire les foules. Introduction complètement HS dans la mesure où l'on peut voir l'un des fils des deux gaillards (en l'occurrence d"Ugo") se faire éduquer à coups de kick assourdissants. Oui mais bon une amitié qui remonte aux débuts des années 90, à écumer des festivals de l'ancien bloc de l'est rythmés par le déhanché suave des gogos danseuses et des projecteurs virevoltants, ça laisse des doutes. Dandi [...]
Esta claro que Moderat (Modeselektor+Apparat) ha resultado ser una de las uniones mas solidas y productivas de la electrónica, muchos músicos juegan con sintetizadores tratando de encontrarle alma a las computadoras, sin lograrlo, Moderat es seguramente el equilibrio que ellos buscan, la musica popular del futuro. No se en que andaba cuando salio el trabajo visual para Rusty Nails incluido en la edición en DVD de "Moderat" de Moderat, pero ahí va. Sí, volveran los mp3s. Moderat - Rusty Nails (Vídeo):
YO! Thought I would all share some celebration love with ya'll since today is my birthday . ahhhhh, glorious double dos, kind of starts to get worse from here but I'm ok with that I guess. ANYways, since I have an incredible fascination with MODESELEKTOR / I decided to choose a few of my favorite tracks from their album ' Happy Birthday!' .. Hope you enjoy! Deboutonner (Feat. Siriousmo) - Modeselektor The White [...]
The wait is over! The very much anticipated new release by French-Ukrainian Vitalic (Pascal Arbez) is finally out TODAY on his own label, Citizen Records after 4 long, long years! A 13-track full length and every bit as intricate, immaculate and articulate as ever, Flashmob is the more electro-fused sister of OK Cowboy , the latter already sealed its place as a techno classic upon its debut. Techno is very often described as mechanical, soul-less and a disjointed version of electronic dance music but like his German [...]
I think it’s safe to say on a universal front, that at some stage in our lives we have all at one point changed our minds or position in some shape or form. Whether it’s vinyl to mp3, boxers to briefs, down and out to dynasty, wonk to donk, everyone needs diversity at some point. Hence the posts you read here follow a trend that could only be answerable to our irrational rock star tendencies, where various sonic musical wig outs in search of the “New Sound”, have led us to chartering an array of unexpected beats. And so may [...]
Very smooth. Very melodic. Peaceful. Enjoy the fourth selection of Sunday Smoothies = Edison - Ellen Allien & Apparat Days Are Years - Blue Sky Black Death Fear & Resilience - Pedro Dead Grass - Pedro [let the orchestra take you on a journey] > icknick
