One of the most exciting sounds I've been immersing myself in lately is wonky hip-hop, which (thanks to the ever-changing and often subjective nature of genre definitions) you could probably also refer to as glitch-hop or future beats without a blogger sloshing the kerosene of his opinion all over you and engulfing the situation in flames using his matchstick of keyboard warrior rage. The instrumental hip-hop scene has been developing for many years and has split off into many fragments (many of which are represented here), but it's gathering some serious momentum right now, which means more delicious vitamins that [...]
In a world where the expression "mixtape" is commonly used for a bunch of mp3s put together in a zip file, !K7 records tapes series gets back to the old-school way.

Rustie : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud : Purchase Glass Swords @ iTunes | Amazon | Bleep Guess who's back? That's right. I am ;) To start this off we're going super crazy groovy bust your neck kind of beats with a melodic sense to sing your girlfriend to sleep. We've shared our great love for his music in the past and have shed some light on some of his favorite video game(s) [hint: Triforce]. If you've been sleeping under a rock in [...]

A vrai dire pas forcément que des news mais un set soundcloud qui résume bien la richesse de ces trois labels anglais qui ont leur place dans mon cœur depuis un sacré moment. Un résumé de quelques sorties 2011 et d'autres qui arrivent prochainement, avec par exemple « Drink n' Drugs » de Bang On! tiré de son premier LP qui sortira en 2012 . On retrouve aussi le remix de Dobie « Numbers In Action » qui sortira sur un album remix de Wiley , [...]

Het lijkt niet op te houden, de festivals in Den Haag. Volgende week is het tijd voor TodaysArt, en eerder berichtten we al over State-X/New Forms, dat Den Haag in December op sleeptouw neemt. Derde in dit rijtje is het Rewire festival, dat je het weekend van 4 en 5 November bezig houdt. Overdag is er tijd voor lezingen, workshops en gesprekken met artiesten, en 's avonds wordt er een mix aan muziek en video-kunst voorgeschoteld. Wat betreft de line-up van het muziekprogramma, daar kunnen we kort over zijn, die is om van te smullen. Vorige week werden [...]

Dabrye - Game Over (Dorian Concept Remix) A nice handful of remixes from Dorian Concept. Usual dope synth bit glitchy thing you can expect from him. I think they're quite old but I have no idea really, I just found out about them. Maybe it's the first time he's put them out together. Anyway, since I heard them I haven't stopped listening to them so might as well drop it anyway. Only four of them but they're fire, so. DOWNLOAD DORIAN CONCEPT REMIXES HERE [...]
Brighton, UK beatmaker Slugabed just released a kaleidoscopic new video to accompany his latest EP on Ninja Tune titled "Moonbeam Rider." This EP is yet another in a slew of fantastic releases from Ninja Tune this year. (Check Dorian Concept or Floating Points for starters) Slugabed is known for his melding of West Coast Dilla-esque hip-hop beats and UK bass music. This is a major release for "Slugga" as he is beginning to make a name for himself amongst the disciples of the bass-heavy, post-dubstep genre. "Moonbeam Rider" perfects Slugabed's cosmic beats and pushes him in a direction [...]
Soundcrash are instigating a transformation at KOKO this weekend, turning into into a vibrant hub of intricate rhythm and heavy bass, with a quartet of artists of serious fucking heft.

It's been over a year and a half since Dorian Concept has graced these pages, but he's fortunately beginning to utilize his soundcloud and has yielded another new gem. Magic Dog Years barely has enough time to linger before it's over, but you can hear how his sound is continuing to influence a new generation of beatmakers. Her Tears Taste Like Pears was released through Ninja Tune this March, and you can find it on Amazon for less than $4. [...]

These topless chicks above are pointing to the direction they think music is heading to..... I think they are pretty spot on. One of my favourite online blogs about new music, is no other than the brain child from Peter Lanceley , This Music Wins. This week, Pete released a pretty stellar compilation. The 17 tracks listed are in his mind, great examples of how the internet is affecting the collaboration of music across borders. He mentions the affect the internet has on the cross cultural gloablization of music which is a pretty interesting concept. [...]

On Sunday I made my way down to the Netaudio event at the Roundhouse , a yearly event, conference, broadcast and live music convention for which my commissioned piece, a This Music Wins special outlining my thoughts on the stylistic future of experimental music on the internet, went out at 4.30pm via Roundhouse Radio and Resonance 104.4 FM London . You can listen again to the piece below, grab a zip file of all the compositions, or download them individually via tracklisting. Though trains prevented me from catching the headlining ' Nurse With Wound [...]
Dorian Concept is a Vienna based composer and musician, a child piano prodigy who went onto study music composition in Salzburg. He is currently one of the most exciting artists working in electronic music; his fusion of jazz, electronics and club music is as exciting as it is unique. Next Thursday, Dorian will be stopping by CFC (formally Zoobizarre) in Montreal for a special live set. This is definitely going to be a special night, with DJ support from Joe Shabadu, Jacques Greene, Rilly Guilty and Seb Diamond. All the info can be found on [...]

Red Bull has found various ways of supporting the Indian indie scene - with everything from events like the Red Bull Bedroom Jam , to the more successful academic venture, the annual Red Bull Music Academy.

Last year's edition was held in London, and we featured some music by an artist who'd recorded there. This year, the Red Bull Music Academy will be held in Tokyo in October. Two groups of 30 selected participants from all [...]

Après avoir produit un des titres les plus marquants du coffret anniversaire des 20 ans de Ninja Tune , renversé les foules lors de shows impressionnants, avoir joué des claviers dans le groupe de Flying Lotus et être apparu sur la scène du Royal Albert Hall avec une section de cordes, Dorian Concept est prêt à sortir son premier EP chez les ninjas. Intense, complexe et mélancolique le son de Dorian Concept ne renie cependant pas son caractère dansant et impulsif. Cet EP, varié et excitant démontre qu'il est [...]
