★★★★☆ Chicago's Area works by a moniker that's a nightmare should you want to do a background check on him through a search engine, but perfect for framing a closed book character secretly building up a back catalogue. Working in the darkest, dankest regions of house and techno, "Skyline Face Silhouette" is sunshine peering through a crack in Area's basement of operations that the producer then attempts to swat away as if frightened by the intrusion – by far the brightest element passing through an album of ever lengthening, minimalist shadows. Tub-thumping on disused [...]

Maxim Lany - Cuncambias ( buy ) Belgian house music at it's finest with this killer from Maxim Lany that featured on We Play House Red. Immense. Kate Wax - Holy Beast (Holden Woolly Beast Edit) ( buy ) Things are heating up in anticipation of Kate Wax's Dust Collision album on Border Community. Label boss James Holden serves up a couple of dancefloor bound edits to whet the appetite. [...]

Great concert announcement to share today, as Iron & Wine are coming to the Cincinnati area this summer on June 11th at the Madison Theatre in Covington . I'm not aware of Iron & Wine playing the Cincinnati area ever, so this is kind of a big deal. What makes it even more exciting is that The Head & The Heart, a great new band signed to Sup Pop Records, are supporting for this show, making it a great double bill. Get a taste of both bands below, off of their new releases, [...]

Est-ce la première d'une série de playlists collaboratives à thème géographique ? Je ne sais pas encore, mais je trouve que celle-ci est plutôt réussie, alors pourquoi pas ! L'idée d'une playlist consacrée à la Baie de San Francisco m'a parue excellente d'abord parce qu'une playlist avec les Flamin' Groovies [...]

Fet Et Moi - Paris Is For Lovers ( buy ) The greatest use of a Justin Timberlake vocal? I possibly think so. Old school house percussion and an acidic bassline, but it's the vocals from Timberlake's My Love that really make the track come together. Production is spot on, so it may come as no surprise to find that Fet Et Moi is in fact the work of &Me and Fetisch . Here's a few more techier bits i've been enjoying. Nothing too [...]

[Wave Music] (buy vinyl tk) ( buy mp3s ) Few things grab my attention like a Benjamin Brunn credit on the sleeve, and it's particularly nice when they fit as neatly as the one here. Area is an alternate guise for Canadian DJ/producer m50. I'm not sure what the exact distinction is, but this particular EP - for François K's Wave Music - traffics in forms of abstracted melodic house not distant from Brunn's esteemed body of work. Assured opener "LLPOD" has a tense dance floor utility and an almost jazzy swing, [...]

" Ma l'amore mio non muore " è dedicato alla rilettura di un decennio, gli anni '70, ripercorsi attraverso le musiche straordinarie di quei tempi. Da Zappa a Jarrett, dagli Area ai Napoli Centrale, dagli Steley Dan ai Clash, ma anche dalle musiche di Victor Jara o Ivan Della Mea fino a Claudio Baglioni. Continua a leggere Daniele Sepe con il Concerto-spettacolo Ma l'amore mio non muore, in tour dal 1 ottobre 2009... Commenta »
Una notte dedicata a Demetrio Stratos nell'ambito della nona edizione del festival La Citta' Aromatica . Per l'occasione, stasera gli Area (alias Patrizio Fariselli, Paolo Tofani e Ares Tavolazzi) tornano a suonare insieme in Piazza San Francesco, complice Mauro Pagani, direttore artistico del festival, special guest d'eccezione.

R.I.P. Sacer . Sacer and I ran in some of the same circles, and had some mutual friends. My best memory of Sacer was back in 1997 when we were on the roof of an apartment in Tribecca trying to smoke DMT with Joe and Miser . We ended up spending the rest of the night wasted on K or whatever else we could get our hands on back then. Also peace to Joe 357 a.k.a. Area , and the rest of the all city heads. [...]

Dopo avervi parlato del lato peggiore della musica ( peggiori album della decade , peggiori album degli anni '90 e i peggiori singoli di sempre), oggi passiamo a quello migliore con una classifica che ci tocca da vicino: i migliori album italiani secondo gli utenti italiani di Rate Your Music. Ho preferito affinare la ricerca prendendo in considerazione esclusivamente i voti italiani per avere una lista totalmente "made in Italy". Bisogna comunque spendere due righe dicendo che, considerando tutti i voti (e quindi anche quelli "stranieri"), tutte e tre gli album italiani [...]

Image From Here Well, it turns out that today is Father's Day and this is post #500! Not too shabby for missing a year and a half of blogging... My father was a hard working, quiet/reserved man. He was an Electrical Engineer by trade and was very successful in his career. To be honest, growing up I did not see a lot of my father. He worked hard during the week to provide for his family of four children and our time with him was delegated to evenings and weekends. But, [...]

The slow awakening from winter's sleep is giving way to the beautiful awareness of new life and new beginnings. But with this new season comes a sense of dread. Spring cleaning can be quite depressing. Especially on rainy days where time seems to slow down, allowing for long walks down memory lane. There always seems to be a soundtrack for this feeling. Songs that float around in the recesses of your soul, illuminating memories like the dawn's early light refracting in the tears of morning dew. This is one of those songs. Reflective and ethereal, Area's 1990 [...]
Okay, so I ran across this first track more on accident than anything else. It's a freakishly simple casiotone sort of cut featuring what I'm guessing are the lyrics to "Technologic" by Daft Punk in reverse. The guy's name is DJ Goldwwater (or Goldwater, the original blog I saw this on had both spellings). I've dug around for more info on this guy, but found absolutely zilch! So if you guys find something? Let me know. [Download DJ Goldwater - Touch It (Goldwater Daft Punk Revverse)] [...]
Footage of the performance @ Area Nightclub in Hollywood yesterday...I had heard about this and if you know Area in Hollywood than you know its not the funnest place to try to get into let alone when theres a free show with Kanye West and The Dream...Congrats to the people that managed to get in....

On March 29th, 2009 this is what the Schengen will look like with the full implementaion if Switzerland's inclusion. Now you can roam all of Western Europe (excluding the UK and Ireleand, because they have an agreement on their own). Romania and Bulgaria are in the process of getting in by 2011. Croatia is up next and Cyprus will be when the Northern Cyprus dispute is resolved. That's 25 countries on one visa.
