Every God given fortnight, the glorious faction known as MadTech Records (via their imprint MTDL ) present a free download that aims to plunge you into those different genre pools that exist around us, whilst acting as a forward-thinking platform to showcase one-off tracks to the world without the commitment of a full EP. From the late night vibes of Aaron Lipsett, to the vintage garagey tones of Shoot The Ghost, MTDL’s downloads feature many of the familiar-sounding staples & sounds that you’re quite used to - plus a few of those surprising [...]
Fantastic track from Golden Boy !

It was late 2011 when Alex (Alex & The Ramps) met Lucy in a bar in Berlin. From here on, the two would join forces to make up the electro -dream-pop duo Magic Hands . The first taste of their forthcoming untitled EP is 'Golden Boy', a pulsating slow jam that will be officially released for download from their Bandcamp page tomorrow (8th May). The EP was recorded in early 2013, overlooking a barren French Island from a coastal holiday house and is accordingly inspired by " traditional music cultures, the Twin Peaks soundtrack, and 808 clap [...]

It’s the side splitting humour that initially hooks you in to Dante Rendle Traynor ’s work, upon browsing the Internet, I see an image of a bald man with a shaving foam beard and I’m sold. He has an intriguing voice and has a little art for everyone. Little did I know that this is all a clever ruse in order for me to scrutinise some artwork. I did, repeatedly, just as the bald man said. The matter of how we view art has been hanging over our heads for decades, but as we come to what I [...]

Hoy les escribo para hablarles de una de mis discográficas preferidas, están sacando artistas nuevos continuamente, junto a EPs que revientan dancefloors a punta de originalidad, hablo de MADTECH RECORDS . CITIZEN - SO SUBMISSIVE MADTECH es una division de MADHOUSE, mítica casa que Kerri Chandler abrió en 1992. La inspriración vino gracias al DJ Jerome Sydenhan, que le entrego a Kerri un montón de tracks que, aunque le encantaron, no eran del estilo de MADHOUSE, así que para sacarlas al mercado crea MADTECH, discográfica basada en darle la [...]

Mp3: The Golden Boy - That Thing Mp3: The Golden Boy - Won't Do It
Dominic Hammonds ( The Golden Boy ) just moved on up in my books. Releasing a free one the other day with a nostalgic 90s house texture, I'm envisioning a group of basement dwelling house addicts popping off to such a simple synth organ riff. Playing this one again and again for the past couple nights and it's simply one that needs to be shared. From the look of things, he has a few heavy releases coming up on London's fantastically curated, Troupe Records . Be on the lookout for more gold from the [...]

As a listener sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of tunes out there. So much to the point that I often skip a song forward to see if it has "that" hook I'm looking for. Have I become spoiled by not trying hard enough to understand what the artist is actually trying to communicate with his music? Well, when you have tens to even hundreds of incoming materials everyday, I tell you it's no simple matter picking the ones that might be worth your time. Anyway, this song manages to catch my attention right from the [...]
Man, this next week and a half is shaping up to be a blast for everyone in Austin, and Friday is really starting to turn things up a notch. I've already caught great sets by Endless Thoughts , Politics and Parquet Courts , so I'm really looking forward to the rest of what's in-store. If you can't make it out this weekend, don't forget that Free Week now goes on into next week too! Here's my suggestions for Friday. The Real Energy, Spray Paint , Crooked [...]
Now that the holidays are over and people are getting back to their regular routines, we had time to put together the November week-to-week playlists. The December week-to-week top songs will be thin because December is traditionally not a month that there are many new releases. The No. 1 songs for November, in chronological order, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Forthcoming on Troupe Records is the self-titled EP from Birmingham based DJ/Producer The Golden Boy . It features 3 bass-heavy tracks that are so addicting you'd think they were from Dusky . The man behind it all, Dominic Hammonds, initially made quite a stir on Soundcloud with his remake of Lauren Hill's "Doo Wop." That track, cleverly titled "That Thing," is now part of this wicked EP. It's not every day you come across an EP where each song is equally as good [...]

Clifford Odets’ classic drama Golden Boy re-opened on Broadway on December 6th and Bartlett Sher ( Joe Turner’s Come and Gone , South Pacific ) directs this 75th Anniversary production in the very same theater in which it premiered. Golden Boy was originally written in 1937 and a movie was made from the play in 1939, which marked William Holden’s film debut. In later years, the story was re-written to reflect the burgeoning Civil Rights movement and re-opened on Broadway in 1964 with Sammy David Jr. in the lead role. This 75th Anniversary [...]

Things for a wonderful Wednesday: ► Ben Gibbard visits the Wilshire Ebell Theatre behind his solo album "Former Lives." Damian Jurado , whose own recent release "Maraqopa" is equally moving, supports. That's the pretty-damned-funny video for Gibbard's "Teardrop Windows," above. ► New Orleans quartet Generationals and L.A. sextet Races team up for a night at the Echo. Generationals just released a new EP "Lucky Numbers;" Races' "Year of the Witch" came out earlier this yer on Frenchkiss Records. And Francisco the Man opens tonight's [...]

Goldenboy's lush and warm but melancholic indie-pop has been a work in progress ever since singer-guitarist Shon Sullivan embarked on the project while playing in Elliott Smith's band over a decade ago. Through four albums, Sullivan and percussionist Bryan Bos (now joined in the quartet by Nicole Verhamme and Katy Stone) have put the rock in soft-rock, the frontman's plaintive delivery often belying the emotional weight of his songs about love and loss. Goldenboy's latest album "The New Familiar" (due Nov. 20 on Eeenie Meenie Records) is a beautifully orchestrated collection that will feel good to fans of bands [...]
