0,2. Lo pongo con letra, para que quede claro: cero coma dos. Esa era la nota que le ponían en Pitchfork a " Angles ", el disco de los británicos Scroobius Pip y Dan Le Sac, en la crítica que el prestigioso medio norteamericano publicaba en su web en 2008. Recordaba el capón, pero la verdad es que creía que había sido algo así como un dos, o un tres, y lo he comprobado hoy, al empezar a escribir esta entrada: un cero con dos. Y sí, vale que el inglés (justito) de un menda no le permita [...]

Since bursting onto the scene last year, East Londoners Waze & Odyssey have quickly become a go-to for DJs from Istanbul to Ibiza. Their shuffly, 90s-sounding grooves evocative of 4am warehouse raves have found their way into the crates of BBC Radio One jocks such as Pete Tong, Skream and Benga, and Annie Mac. One of my all-time memories behind the turntables was getting to drop this to a very enthused Peaches' dance crew in Barcelona last July. With acts such as Disclosure and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs bringing back classic garage and house influences into the [...]
We've made no secret of our admiration for the work of Mr Dan Le Sac around these parts and the recent Test Tube mix he delivered for us was a belter. He's been out on the road of late touring his brilliant "Space Between The Words" long-player and is about to release another single from the album in the shape of "Long Night of Life (feat Merz )". The package includes a couple of tasty reworks, the pick of the bunch for us being Merz's own rework [...]

Words: Saam Das I'm a big fan of Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip , particularly their debut album 'Angles' . Their mix of spoken word and electro enthralled before the duo decided to take a breather from their combined efforts to focus on individual projects. Scroobius Pip released his debut solo album last year, and Dan Le Sac unleashed his record earlier this year. Watch the new video for the engrossing electronica of 'Long Night Of [...]

Sarah Williams White returns with her second release of 2012 as she drops her 'Your Silence Is Killing Me' EP via Monosole on September 24th. Since the release of "If I Smile At You" // "Take Your Time" Sarah has been invited to play the Introducing stages at the Reading and Leeds festivals. As well as this she has collaborated with Dan le Sac on his track "Play Along", which was the first single to be taken from his solo album 'Space Between The [...]

A month shy of six years ago Dan Le Sac, Scroobius Pip and myself waxed lyrical on this 'ere blog about a mysterious young balladeer from Essex called Jackamo Brown. Now Scroobius is celebrating his own birthday by uploading a free teaser single from Jackamo's upcoming debut album " Oh No. The Drift of the World " due in September on Pip's Speech Development Records. As an extra bonus, the reliably superb Buddy Peace has chipped in with a remix. Jackamo Brown - Blog / Facebook / Youtube / Pre-Order LP [...]
Producer lets collaborators undermine his work; ickiness ensues. Readers with long memories may recall "Thou Shalt Always Kill", a viral 2008 novelty single by dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip. It was sort of a Brit-rapped update of Baz Luhrmann's sunscreen song that was equal parts clever, smug, icky, and insufferable. The bearded duo parlayed their notoriety into two albums and received a gratuitously negative Pitchfork review, a badge of honor like a Weird Al parody. Now they're putting out solo albums. Rapper...
Dan le Sac may not be the most recognisable character in music. In fact, he may not even be the most recognisable person from his Dan le Sac vs. Scroobious Pip day job. But he isn’t about being recognised and thankfully it seems much less of a concern to him than the finer details of his music. As the man behind the music he gets to spend more of his time fussing over sounds and textures than social cohesion or the means of production. His means of his production are kept on racks in his studio [...]
I tend to lose interest in an album I’m not in love with after the fourth or fifth song. No matter how good the songs are, if they aren’t what I’m craving at that exact moment, I usually can’t make it past the 15 minute mark. When I first started listening to Dan Le Sac’s new album, “Space Between the Words,” it wasn’t what I was craving. The first track is Long Night of Life, a richly-produced song with handclaps and synthesizers featuring electro-folk singer Merz. It is complex, but not memorable. Lucky for me, that one [...]
Hailing from a teensy tiny village called Djura (with a population 400 peeps) in Sweden, Karin Park has released three albums ( Superworldunknown in 2003, Change Your Mind in 2006, and Ashes To Gold in 2009) and an EP ( Tiger Dreams in 2011) and even won herself a Norwegian Grammy ( what is that you ask? ) for Best Newcomer in 2003, and was out with her latest album Highwire Poetry in May 2012. This week's free musical jackpot is a remix of Karin Park's synth-driven goth-pop track 'Restless' by Daniel Stephens aka Dan le Sac of ' Thou Shalt [...]
The rise of PBR Streetgang this year has been quite amazing and its brilliant to see these boys getting the recognition and hype they deserve. It seems that their sound has morphed and evolved over the past few years into groovey cheeky bassline pumpers style that has properly connected with the current dancefloor demands. Their stock has definitely risen and has seen their tracks released on some of the best labels around. We can't wait to see what the second half of 2012 brings for the boys! Make sure you catch their Fabric debut later this [...]
Producer Daniel Stephens-the half of hip-hop collaboration Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip that's responsible for the beats-has made his long-awaited solo debut with Space Between the Words . Dan Le Sac's first album is as diverse as its impressive collection of contributors, but it's varied to the point of haphazardness. On Space Between the Words, Dan Le Sac storms through genres with a destructive fury. "Tuning" and "Good Time Gang War" mash together hip-hop and the dirtiest of electro rattles into something commissioned for dystopic dance floors. Less sinister yet just as foot-moving [...]
With “Angles” , Dan Le Sac produced one of the most important and finest hip hop records of the past 20 years. Featuring Scroobius Pip’s always thoughtful lyrics and flawless delivery, the album made the genre interesting once more and reminded us that “guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements, and never will be”. The duo went on to follow it up with the brilliant “Logic of Chance” before Pip wandered off on a solo tip. Now it’s Le Sac’s [...]
![[Listen] Dan Le Sac - 'Space Between the Words' (Full Album Stream)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4365062_lg.jpg)
I first became familiar with Dan Le Sac through his joint effort with Scroobius Pip back when I first moved to Manchester. Fast forward 5 years and Scroob has released a solo record, Distraction Pieces, and now Dan is to do the same. Space Between The Words is set for release via Sunday Best Recordings next week on July the 9th but if you head over to Spinner you can grab the full album stream. It's new music Monday so get your fix with some brand new Dan Le Sac.
Six years after he began producing clever, socially conscious hip hop with Scroobious Pip, Dan Le Sac is finally flying solo. This new found creative independence has resulted in an eclectic record that effortlessly straddles various genres and features his own motley crew of collaborators, including his own musical hero electronic–folk artist Merz, underground rapper B Dolan and indie singer/songwriter Sarah Williams White. 'Memorial' is a strong introduction with gothic, trip-hop influenced production and ethereal vocals, while 'Tuning' follows with a pulsating, speaker rattling piece of electro house yet while the beats are fantastic, the vocal [...]
Space Between The Words is Dan Le Sac 's debut solo album will be out July 10 via Sunday Best stream the Merz featured Long Night of Life above and we have two videos as well after the jump
Producer Daniel Stephens is best known as Dan Le Sac , one half of the hip-hop duo dan le sec Vs Scroobius Pip. After two albums together, Scroobius (AKA spoken word artist David Peter Meads) dropped his solo debut in September of last year, and now, it's Dan Le Sac's turn. Space Between the Words will be released on July 10th through Sunday Best, and sees Le Sac moving just slightly away from the up-tempo head-nodders to paint with more varied strokes. For example, there are the three distinct atmospheric movements of "Long Night of [...]
