Empires have released a new single called "We Lost Magic". The track comes from a deluxe edition of their album Garage Hymns which will be released on June 12th. The band will be heading out this summer on a headlining tour that includes a spot at on this year's Lollapalooza line-up . <a href=" http://music.weareempires.com/ album/we-lost-magic-single">We Lost Magic - Single by empires</a>

Check out the new single "We Lost Magic," from Empires' second full length album, Garage Hymns, out June 12th. Proving to be heading in the direction, the bands sound has progressed since their first record, and their Bang EP, "We Lost Magic," sounds to me a bit like the way I'd have imagined the Killers should have gone, a really solid rock number that cleans out their sound and shows the direction they are headed.

Following up their collaborative series, night pop twosome Alpines return with a new tune titled 'Empire.' Stream the percussion heavy pulsating track below. Expect the single to see daylight June 11th and their debut project released later this year. Alpines - Empire

Jay-Z is getting into the Zuckerberg game, unveiling his new gaming platform "Empire" for Facebook. Is this going to be the new Farmville? Reminds me of the next logical step for TI83 drug dealer modulations. Players start at Jay-Z's Marcy Projects in Brooklyn then move their way up, hustling until they own their own NBA team. You get to choose a nickname prefix (Lil, King etc) & a variation of your own [...]

Alec Empire es el lider detrás de la banda Atari Teenage Riot. Sin duda uno de los actos con más actitud y energía de esta época. Pero, ¿Qué música ha influenciado a Alec Empire para hacer que ATR suene como lo hace hoy en día?. Él mismo nos envia este playlist con algunas de sus canciones favoritas:

Lieutenant and battler KlouD - for all things trance and progressive is churning away over in Toronto, Canada.. moulding the best electronic butter - period; and making the most flavoursome dance music milk you could ever imagine. Inspiration falls from the talent pools of Anjunabeats' homely lads - Super8 & Tab, Lauren & Wyclef's The Fugees, the Russian Gods' Moonbeam (in the shape of their 'Foxy'), Teana & Tiida's perfect 'Australia,' and Damien Boss's ultra-uplifting, 'Never Gonna Fall.' As ol' Jim Bowen used to say on TV's favourite UK gameshow Bullseye.. "You can't beat a [...]

So this year was a leap year, which meant we all got an extra day to enjoy. So the question asked myself is what I can do to cherish this leap year day (29th February) as they don't come around very often. I decided what better way to spend this extra day and see the band that everyone is talking about; GOTYE. I found myself at London's Shepard's Bush Empire, a building I've passed many a time on the bus and never really paid much attention to. But this venue isn't called one of London's best for no reason. With [...]

Não admira; não admira mesmo nada. Não admira que os RED Trio e Jason Butcher tenham recebido elogios vindos dos quatros cantos do mundo, tendo o álbum feito parte de inúmeras e importantes listas dos melhores discos jazz de 2011. É que não admira mesmo, de tão admirável e prezenteiro que é este "Empire", um monumento inesgotável de um free jazz absolutamente único. Talvez seja exagero chamar-lhe único, mas que é enorme, lá isso é. Ao extraodinário trabalho de Rodrigo Pinheiro (piano eléctrico e acústico), Hernâni Faustino (contrabaixo) e Gabriel Ferrandini (bateria), que até já conhecíamos do homónino [...]
