DJ Kicks is one of the longest serving compilation series within dance music, releasing its first mix in 1995 when the idea of a commercially marketed mix was the thing of dreams. Since then the DJ Kicks series has drawn influence from all facets of electronic music with mixes from the likes of Stereo MC's, The Glimmers, Tiga, Four Tet, Hot Chip, Chromeo and Scuba to name a few. However every man and his blog has a mix series these days so why should we care about 'DJ Kicks'... [...]

Artwork by Dalila Couto WOW!!! The best of the bests....! Last broadcast of "Encontros imediatos" of 2011. João invited the Golden Crew to talk about our favorites. As you can imagine it's not easy, but we have to choose someone. For about an hour we referenced a lot of good people. Besides our top we also mentioned artists such as Kicko, Loverboy, Moullinex and Xinobi, on the national scene. From the "exterior" we talked about KAMP!, Stardone, Muffin, Volta Bureau, Gold Panda, A Gap Between, Toro Y Moi, Neon Indian, Back2Funk, Justin Faust, Beth [...]

Nachdem ich mir inzwischen so viele verschiedene Jahrescharts von so vielen verschiedenen Menschen angeschaut habe, kann ich sie ehrlich gesagt nicht mehr sehen. Wenn man auf ein Jahr zurückblickt, dann kommen einem doch sowieso eher einzelne Momente in den Sinn - oft wild durcheinanderfliegend und höchstens locker verknüpft durch Assoziationen - als irgendwelche Listen. Aber es macht ja doch immer wieder Spaß, seine eigenen Favoriten gegeneinander abzuwägen und zu ordnen, Ranglisten aufzustellen und umzuschmeißen – auch wenn man an dem Kampf dabei beinahe verzweifelt. Ich hoffe jedenfalls ihr habt noch ein offenes Ohr für die Musik, die mich im vergangenen [...]

The Cleveland emcee drops a new track featuring production from Gold Panda.

Cleveland emcee Olu recently released this track off his upcoming mixtape Cover Letters . It features Gold Panda on production, in case you couldn't tell just by listening to it. Last year we fantasized about what a Gold Panda produced hip-hop track might sound like. While Olu is certainly not Raekwon (no disrespect / just sayin'), this collaboration does feel like it brings our dream one step closer to reality. So what do you think of the pairing, would you like to hear more from Olu in 2012? Is [...]

A sweet EP of neo-soul songs from singer Jesse Boykins III. He's been steadily dropping original tracks and remixes since the summer of 2011. I'm late to the party, but I'm happy to be here now. Way of A Wayfarer is 6-track release, and it can be downloaded right here . The dude did right to pick up a number of beats from producer Gold Panda, because these instrumentals compliment Boykins' style really well. He's got a breathy voice that's light on the ears, and a smooth sensuality pours out of nearly every song [...]

I've never been a big fan of looking back, sure it's comforting to reminisce about the good old times... Hey you know everybody's talking about the "good old days" Everybody! The good old days Well, let's talk about the good old days..." - Gladys Knight But in my mind the past does more harm than good. If you think about the past so much you're going to constantly be ignoring what's happening to you right now. The past is good for one thing and one thing only - [...]

Ahhhh, the remix category. Generally, people are polarized by this genre of music, loving or hating remixes with a furious passion. When pondering the more philosophical side of this category, a parallel (strange, and possibly dorky) thought continually crept into the forefront of my mind: the fluffernutter sandwich. A twist on the original peanut butter and jelly classic, the fluffernutter is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff - unexpected yet slightly familiar, delicious to fans and potentially unappealing to zealots of tradition. Whatever your preference - fluffernutter or not - our top ten remixes of 2011 [...]

Género: Alternative. Martes trece. Si tiramos de estereotipos, mal día para los gallegos que suelen ser supersticiosos. Amable debe ser una excepción ya que hoy es el día que ha elegido para presentarnos su tradicional disco de este 2011 que se acaba. Hoy se cumplen dos semanas desde que lo tengo en el player de mi coche, con el beneplácito de quienes me suelen acompañar, sin intenciones de ser retirado, y eso es mucho desde que me obligo a reseñar diariamente por estas virtualidades escafandristas. Sintomático, veréis. [...]

Field Day is one of London's most trendy and popular one-day summer festivals and this week a flurry of artists, for the event on the 2nd June, were released. This date is much earlier than normal but the venue for the festival will still be Victoria Park. Franz Ferdinand were confirmed to headline the festival, Franz Ferdinand have not played a gig in the... Read more..

It's surprising how struck I can be by music over-wrought with familiarity. On the surface, 18-year-old Galapagos isn't doing anything wholly new. Alvin -esque pitch-shifting? Heard it. R&B sampling? Been there. Chopped vocals and beats? Oh, please. Still, there's something I find infectious about his songs and structures, particularly "Feel Things Inside." Surely, its wrong to think of ProTools or Logic as anything other than stringed instruments. If songwriters can produce a dearth of material using the same guitar chords, why can't laptop auteurs do the same with software tricks? [...]

British Sea Power once wasted elegiac stanzas on a rapport destined to be 'ended on an oily stage'. However, many wonderful musical happenings of a more positive nature have coincidentally occurred over the course of the past twelve months on stages small and large; sticky and pristine; smooth, sweaty, and indeed oily (for which see that of Tivoli de Helling above). Here's the deal: we'll run through our most enjoyable for reasons varied (and in some cases pretty well unknown), and you can reminisce or wish you'd been there in a more composed state of mind or rejoice in the [...]
