We adore bands that push the boundaries and we regularly punt artists that are trying to create something new and interesting at the cutting edges of music. Really we do. However, today's recommendation have no such intention. Some designs are so perfect to start with that there's no point searching for unnecessary changes - that's just change for change's sake. New York's hot new disco collective, Escort , are making the musical equivalent of the wheel, so perfect and well-crafted are their disco hits that there's absolutely zero need for any re-invention of the genre. This is pimped-up, stacked-heels-disco [...]
Widely known London-based DJ and producer Erol Alkan has just released his latest 'rework', this time working his magic on the new single "Forever Dolphin Love" by the New Zealand psychedelic pop musician Connan Mockasin . He keeps the same vibe as the original, only adding some chilled out beats and spacey synths. Sit down, have a listen and try not to be sucked in and blown away. Download: Forever Dolphin Love (Erol Alkan Rework) - Connan Mockasin (Right Click, Save As) And I couldn't help myself but post these as well: [...]

And so we move onto our song list, this was even harder than the album list! So we eventually ended up separating our 'top tracks' list into 'top songs' and top reMixes' , which gave us the breathing room we needed. Here's the songs, the best song award might be surprising to some, but it's an amazing song that got played to death here and with our original top track of 2011 moved over to the reMixes list this song took the top spot. Without further ado, the winner is… electronic rumors' [...]
As the streets began to grow cold, and ice hung around the corners of the darkness in D.C., the much lauded cold wave/minimal synth night No Love Lost (which, full disclosure, I helped to launch) made a pact with the infamous Fan Death Records, to transport modern synth duo Xeno and Oaklander to the area. Swept into the fray as well were prodigal newcomers Phonic Riot, one man entropy machine Death Domain, and long time NLL/FDR conspirators Screen Vinyl Image. But, before the revelries began, I was able to sit down for [...]
Depois da lista dos 10 álbuns que mais gostei do ano de 2010, tempo para listar os EPs ou mini-álbuns que também andaram comigo durante este ano. Alguns deles... bem melhores que os álbuns originais que as bandas lançaram a seguir. Segue-se então a lista dos 10 mais interessantes EPs/Mini-Álbuns de 2010, na minha opinião. 10. Fan Death, 'A Coin for the Well' 09. Cassius, 'The Rawkers'08. Ali
Reclusive, magnetic, downtrodden synth-project Puerto Rico Flowers made friends for the last time several weeks ago in the habiliments of Baltimore's Talking Head, with full support from Screen Vinyl Image, Pfisters, and maybe a bit of Major League Baseball. Toward the end of the fitful existence that was the abrasive, cult-followed Clockcleaner, the sounds began to be a bit more poppy, sullen, and maybe splashed with just a zest of eyeliner-after-dark. So it was no coincidence that front man, John Sharkey III, coupled his bass with a synthesizer and foraged a sound born in these fires (as I [...]

VILLA Do you know what the 'Iambic Pentameter' is? It's something we want to discuss today as we feel there's a similar thing found in music. There's a certain pace of a beat that seems to fit so well inside our heads and it's a difficult one to pin down or describe, but when you hear it, particularly in electronic music, it just feels right. Perhaps it's the way it's played? Perhaps it's that it's a great beat to move to, allowing steps between the beats, so you can dance with ease to it? Perhaps it's [...]
Before taking time out with her side-project Fan Death, Canadian artist Dandilion Wind Opaine was working with boyfriend Szam Findlay in their apocalyptic electro-punk band, Dandi Wind.With noises echoing the likes of Peaches, Sexy Sushi and Bjork (whenever she is somewhat accessible), the duo carved out a sonic boom that manages to be tame and beautiful, while at the same time punching you in
Words: Gareth O'Malley // Released on Mercury We didn't get off to be the best of starts with this one, we have to admit. The band name is still managing to irk us; we're still not fans of the artwork, and as for the title… well, no, we dislike that even now. The music, however, is much more appealing: for the most part, 'Womb of Dreams' is a delightfully eccentric mix of baroque pop and electro-pop that should turn heads if given the right exposure. Opener 'Constellations' is a fine slice of brooding, breathy pop that's [...]
Although not yet commercially successful, Vancouver based band Fan Death have ruled the underground pop scene since their inception in 2007. Never heard of them? You'll just have to trust me – if a star can bowl you over, Fan Death will tear you apart. Fronted by Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jaciubek-McKeever, Opaine and producer Szam Findlay also collaborate together under the moniker of Dandi Wind . While there are familiar and predictable aspects of their music presented on this album, in tone the dirty and controversial characteristics of Dandi Wind have been traded [...]

Last Saturday night saw the actual landing of DNA Test Fest III . There were two important needs for Sean and Chris this year: 1) That the fest not take place in DC, but instead, in Baltimore, where its support would be much larger, and 2) Due to the facts of need 1, this would obviously necessitate a larger venue. Fortunately, Bmore's monster venue, Sonar , was more than happy to oblige. Hosting international acts on a high profile scale, as well as all other levels of music, in its multiple spaces (not to mention hosting [...]
For the third straight year, Sean Gray and Christopher Berry, who make up Fan Death Records , have curated their own festival, DNA Test Fest . And with the rise of both the label and the bands that surround it growing sharply each year, the third installment of Test Fest was head and shoulders the largest undertaking yet. Beyond the two-stage, 17-band, main event, the duo added an equally large pre-party to the fest that became its unspoken first night. Hosted by one of Baltimore's more amazing DIY spaces, Ruintown , (the kind of [...]
