As winter in New York City slowly melts away around us, festival season looms larger and larger on the horizon, with events increasing in frequency all around the world along with the rising temperatures. One such event that is particularly noteworthy is Sonar Festival of Advanced Music and Technology, which takes place in the heart of Barcelona, Spain. Sonar was without a doubt one of the highlights of last summer's musical adventures, and we cannot wait to see what the extraordinary festival has to offer this June 16, 17, and 18, 2011. [...]

Decided to do a quick badly-mixed mix today. A bunch of stuff I'm really enjoying at the moment. Most of this music is from the first 3 or 4 months of 2011, including a couple yet-to-be-released tracks. Like I said above: it's badly mixed, so don't expect too much. Track list and download link below. Chicken, Waffles, and Robots Download 01. Demdike Stare — Quiet Sky (Modern Love) 02. Deaf Center — Divided (Type) 03. [...]
I first touched on production duo, Downliners Sekt (hailing from Barcelona), briefly in my top tracks of the year post. With their deep running emotive tune White Dawn lifted from their most recent EP We Make Hits, Not The Public , being a high point of the end of my musical year in 2010. I first heard about Downliners Sekt a while back when they had a set on the legendary Mary Anne Hobbs experimental show on BBC Radio 1, instantly dumbfounded by their careful percussive and sparse [...]
An End to 2010 Mix (Mixed by Etch) So this is my first post on the new site and I am using it as a sort of introduction as well as a my fav's of 2010 sort of thing, as well as giving people an idea of what to expect from me in the future (in terms of the sort of music I'll be reviewing and writing about). I have prepared a mix for you guys, clocking in at around an hour featuring my favorite tracks I have heard throughout 2010, you can download the mix [...]

I grapple with the age of free downloadable music because I really do believe in the idea that artists should be paid for entertaining me. However, there is a certain logic to promotional giveaways. Many times when I download music like the stuff below, I end up supporting the artists or labels in different ways. Buying their latest single or EP on iTunes, getting the word out on Twitter, etc. Still, though, sometimes I worry that that this much free stuff out there devalues music in general, makes people expect for all music to be free. That entitled expectation leads [...]
Farklı bir grup Downliners Sekt. İsimleri 60'ların grubu Downliners Sect'ten geliyor. Albümlerini İnternet üzerinden bedavaya paylaşan, bunun temel sebebi olarak da plak şirketlerine olan nefretlerini sunan bir grup. Nereden oldukları, yaşları vesairenin önemsiz olduğunu, önemli olanın yaptıkları müzik olduğunu vurgulayan marjinal bir bakış açıları var. Bana gönderdikleri bir e-mail sayesinde 2. albümleri "The Saltire Wire"'dan haberim oldu. Ne zamandır da incelemek istiyordum ancak yeni fırsat ele geçti. Grup Psychedelic Electro Rock ve Electro Acoustic Rock yapıyor. Ciddi anlamda deneyseller. Arada bir Trip Hop'a da kaydıklarını görüyoruz. Çoğu noktada pesimist, bazı noktalarda agresif ve hatta protest bir tarzları [...]
Following up on the recent Fresh posts, here's a selection of more downbeat and ambient tracks from little-known artists and remixers. Sigur Ros get a nice spread-out remix treatment courtesy of recently-featured Robjn. Laserlong's "The City" wouldn't sound out of place on a Nu Cool compilation, while Silje Nes remind me of old Mazzy Star tracks to great effect. Downliner Sekt intrigue with an update on the sound of Boards of Canada and Mogwai (plus all of their music is up free for download on their website!). Also check out Synthar (with a nod to Postal Service and Death Cab) [...]
Downliners Sekt are an experimental electronic noise group who believes in giving away their music for free (and not just temporarily, like Radiohead). Their reason: WE BORED AS FUCK WITH THE MUSIC INDUSTRY The group has a unique view on both music and life itself. Their dark distorted electronic beats are sometimes layered with dialogues that reflect society and evoke strong images. Downliners Sekt are true artist trying to break away from the shackles of the capitalist [...]
Hut ab! Ich bin schwer beeindruckt! Warum? Die Musik, das Prinzip und die Konsequenz dieser Band. Ich spreche hier über die Downliners Sekt, nicht zu verwechseln mit der R&B Band der 60er. Die schreiben sich Sect. Wer die Band eigentlich ist, bleibt im Dunkeln, soll nicht interessieren. Im Licht erscheint nur ihre Musik. Und die sollte es eigentlich gehen. Diese gibt es nämlich Albumweise als komplette freie Downloads auf der Bandwebseite. Die Musik: Wer Scheiben von Pluramon, Mogwai, 65 Days of Static, Bridge and Tunnel, Recoil, NIN oder Mono sein eigen nennt und diese liebt, wird sich erneut [...]
Radiohead- Nude AmpLive- Nudez (ft. Too $hort & MC Zumbi Of Zion-l) Nine Inch Nails- 1 Ghosts I Downliners Sekt- Panic! Sonic Monk Okay, Radiohead, its time to fess up. With 'In Rainbows', you effectively broke the traditional model for an album release. Now, the idea of a free digital album is commonplace, and distributors are beginning to get worried about their profits. Many artists are quick to turn around and state that they want to release their next album free of charge, but [...]
If you like your guitars to dominate, your drums to be kicked half-dead and don't mind the absence of vocals, you might very well like Downliners Sekt. Their electro/post-rock oriented second album is available for free download on their website (as are earlier releases). This band have chosen to release their albums for free on their website, because they believe they can have a greater impact thus. They claim this way they have some of their songs, released more than 7 years ago, still played at dubstep sessions. [...]
As there was no mix this past Friday we will have two this week so lets get on with the great music. All of these songs were sent to us from the bands themselves or their promoters so if you hear something you like be sure to check them out!

Okay, I know Kip normally handles this category. However, my email box as well as my physical mailbox have now filled to the brim and I can no longer function. I will never realistically be able to post individual entries about all of these bands, so this is a nice way to give all of them exposure. Plus, it makes you do my work for me, and I'm happy to be as lazy as possible! If you're fond of any of these folks, let me [...]
On the self-released front, please to enjoy this miasmic fusion of post-rock and weirdo ambient techno, as presented by Downliners Sekt. Their entire 2008 release, The Saltire Wave, is available for free via their site; hie thee hither to snag...
...to be heard the oldschool way you must work hard. Work in a tiny room, a dark basement, one crappy garage, thinking that someday someone will eventually pay attention to your story - and then you have to make a package out of all those precious moments - a price thrown on the front of a jewel fucking case - but you still not sure - because some soulless cynical mind has decided otherwise - so what then, tell us now, what would you have done?... mp3: [...]

Trying to keep up with all the new singles out there has been a little overwhelming recently, but it's good to hear some great new music coming out. Here are a bunch of them alongside some other albums that have been in our queue recently. Singles Batteries "Childproof" This is a jaunty little tune that has a nice swing to it and counteracted by a tinge of darkness just to keep it interesting. The crunchy guitar blends in nicely with the rythmic guitar [...]
It is absolutely imperative to never forget that music is art. As a medium and as artistic expression, music is as close as one can get to the heart of the creator. Downliners Sekt (who take their name from the very under-referenced sixties R&B band with "c" in Sect instead) are the arbiters of this fact, through and through. The clearly anti-regime, anti-RIAA, anti-authority-as-a-whole group (who also claim to be okay with the demise of record labels and the rise of P2P, nice) create ethereal, all-too-chilling compositions of electro cum post rock skronks [...]

Every once in awhile you come across those rare bands who just want to make music for the sake of the music itself. Yeah, I know every band says that (ok, except maybe KISS ) but it's truly a rare occasion to find the ones who actually put their money where their mouth is...or lack of money, for that matter. Downliners sekt is one such group. They are a collective based in western Europe who have poured their hearts and souls into a complete LP and then released it [...]
