I'll never forget the day late Grateful Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland passed away in 1990. I was playing hockey at Camp Westmont when a bunkmate's brother came down the hill to tell us Brent had died. Now, I'll be honest - I didn't know a thing about the band at the time, but I wanted to find out. One of my Deadhead counselors turned me onto David Gans and Peter Simon's well-written biography of the band, Playing in the Band, and I was immediately fascinated by the history of the band. [...]

Νωρίς νωρίς αυτόν το μήνα.. 1. Anathallo - Italo [div] Εδώ και μερικά χρόνια ηχογραφούν τα melodramatic popular καταπληκτικά songs τους οι Anathallo από το Illinoi s και το Michigan , και ναι, αναφέρω τις πολιτείες και όχι τις πόλεις, γιατί πρόκειται για τους τίτλους των δύο άλμπουμ που έχει κυκλοφορήσει ο Sufjan Stevens ως μέρος του [...]
I was sitting on my porch last night when I got a text message from a dear friend who we all call Sir Brohoss. A month ago he left Boston and, after spending some time at his folks' place in Chicago, is now driving out to start a new life in San Francisco. Looks as though he made an amazing pit stop that resulted in an even more amazing text: "Tahoe. Dark star concert. Totally dank" Yes. Related: Daniel's photos of a [...]
Antes conhecido como "Plasticman", agora Chris Reed assina simplesmente Plastician. O DJ teve de mudar seu apelido de produção para evitar problemas jurídicos com Richie Hawtin, um dos grandes nomes do Techno mundial. Isso aconteceu quando Chris estava em vias de aportar na BBC Radio 1 para apresentar um novo programa na emissora britânica. Com tudo "legalizado" agora ele segue em frente e faz o sexto CD da Rinse FM, a pirata mais antiga ainda em atividade em Londres. A seleção traz nomes como Crissy Criss, Darkstar, Jakes, Joker, Narrows, entre outros. O CD tem um tracklist com [...]
Now, while I wouldn't say I'm 'losing my shit' for dubstep per se, there still remain a number of tunes (in my admittedly limited catalogue) that have impressed me no end. While I harbour severe doubts about its club-worthiness (methinks a full night might kill me with boredom), I see dubstep as one of the better experiments in electronic atmospherics to have emerged in the past decade or more. To my mind there is nothing being created at the moment that seems to more simply and effectively convey the anxieties, energies and various darknesses of nocturnal urbanity than a good, [...]
Il nuovo nome su cui punta Kode9 e la sua Hyperdub è questo Darkstar che ibrida il consueto immaginario dell'etichetta post-garage con elementi più affini all'electro (sintetizzatori, vocoder/voicebox e qualche riferimento ai 'lenti' dei Daft Punk). Pur concedendo un po' di curiosità alla ballabilità di Need You , non riesco a scacciare l'immagine di quelle orchestre romagnole che suonano il lissio: la particolarità del primo singolo di Darkstar è infatti un trattamento delle parti sintetiche (vocali e non) simile all'effetto del mantice. Per dirla breve, le voci robotiche e le tastiere sembrano fisarmoniche e però l'effetto spiazza [...]
