Coachella's Saturday lineup presented a new host of conflicts, while the Sahara and Yuma tents remained stacked with impressive talent, elsewhere in the festival some of most remixed indie bands in dance music were also performing. The Sahara Tent hosted Baauer, Kill The Noise, Bingo Players, Fedde Le Grand, Mob, while Yuma created refuge for fans of 2 Bears and Julio Bashmore. Rather than stay confined to the two dance music tents as promised, we explored the Polo grounds. Starting out our day at Baauer's Sahara set (long lines caused [...]

Hrmpht. I had no idea that Hot Chip has an offshoot band called New Build featuring Felix Martin and Al Doyle (from lcd). Nor did i know they even came out with a full-length back in 2012. Not sure if that album is any good, but this new single is, so i'll be sure to check out said album. "False Thing" features a slick weird disco-electro vibe with equally cool Pulp-meets-Depeche Mode vocals. Did i mention it also has a SICK bass line that keeps things moving through the whole [...]

Set times for 20132s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival have been announced, and if you're like us at BBLA HQ, you're already mapping out a game plan for whom you want to see. The thing is, every year always presents some conflicts leaving you no choice but to choose one band over another. Conflicts in the desert may vary in degrees from person to person, but here are a few that are causing some hair-pulling ... Friday [...]
Many bands spend years honing exact replicas of their studio songs for live concerts, precisely mimicking each chord progression and harmony. The result is audiences can explode into cheers of recognition during the first few seconds of each new song safe with the knowledge they know exactly what’s coming and that it’s going to sound just like it did on the album. Hot Chip on the other hand are a band whose album output and live shows are nearly at odds with each other. The catchy hypno-dance tracks that can shift from pulsing synthesizers to delicate pop [...]

Last night, Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan played host to British electronic-indie powerhouse Hot Chip who blew the roof off the massive venue. Their set was filled with a great mix of old and new (including an Egyptian-influenced track I can't wait to find on their next record) which left each and every person in the audience, including the girl below, dancing their buns off until midnight. Check out the photos I took below. Hot Chip

Hot Chip seem to have grown as a band exponentially every time that I see them. Not even in terms of their band member count - which has definitely grown - but in scope. The crowds and venues just keep getting bigger and bigger. This makes sense, Hot Chip have a sound that attracts all kinds of music fans. They can just as easily bring down the house with huge dance vibes as they can rock out. They even have an emotional core that can devastate you just as equally. There's not much that Hot Chip can't do. [...]

Tras varios días de análisis y reflexiones, presentamos la primera parte del reporte del festival Lollapalooza Chile 2013. Un festival ecléctico, con algunos puntos negros, pero varios momentos destacables. Esto fueron nuestros momentos favoritos del día sábado. Mañana, la segunda parte. Por Macarena Lavín y Gabriel Pinto. Fotos por Rodrigo Ferrari El día sábado, el festival Lollapalooza 2013 convocó a más de 70 mil personas en el Parque O'Higgins. Y se notaba: ningún escenario, por sorprendente que parezca, parecía estar vacío. Tampoco los stands de los diversos auspiciadores que, de manera [...]

We know it is so hard to pick and choose who you are going to see when there are so many great artists playing at Coachella--alas as they are often playing at the same time! Our recommendation for Saturday is to chill out by the pool during the day to beat the desert heat, but be sure make it to the festival by 4 prepared for some serious dancing and fist pumping the rest of the night! Kill The Noise , Sahara Tent 4:20 - 5:20 PM ♫ "Dying (Ft. Ultraviolet Sound & [...]

Phages é um projeto musical vindo de São Francisco, Califórnia. Mesmo com a vasta quantidade de informações que a internet nos dá, isso é tudo que ainda se sabe sobre essa banda (ou seria projeto de um homem só?), que combina elementos eletrônicos e batidas leves lembrando muito duos como AlunaGeorge e Bondax . Com o lançamento do EP Take Me With You , o Phages apresenta seu primeiro material que, apesar de curto, é muito bem produzido. Apesar de americanos, seja lá quem estiver por trás do projeto, se mostram ligado aos sons eletrônicos [...]

Por Judith Gómez Machado A lo lejos, el parque O’Higgins resulta imponente. El segundo espacio verde público más amplio de Santiago de Chile, que guarda entre sus rincones un aura juvenil y distendida, palpitó el fin de semana del 6 y 7 de abril el espíritu voraz de aquellos que estaban destinados a encontrarse: los artistas y su público. En una jornada mística y febril, la tercera edición de Lollapalooza Chile dejó en claro por qué, en la actualidad, se trata de uno de los mejores festivales de música celebrados en Latinoamérica.

Hot Chip at Prospect Park in 2012 ( more by Toby Tenenbaum ) Astralwerks Records was founded in NYC in 1993 as a primarily electronic independent label. They've since been picked up by Universal Music Group and have expanded into other genres but they do maintain a focus on the electronic. To celebrate their 20th anniversary this year, Astralwerks will release a limited edition box set, Astralwerks: Music in 20/20 , on Record Store Day (4/20) . The compilation features previously unreleased or [...]

Originalmente formado em Ontario, o Born Ruffians vem ganhando cada vez mais destaque na cena alternativa do Canadá desde a sua formação em 2004, ano em que também lançaram o primeiro registro, de forma independente. Com o vocal poderoso de Luke Lalonde, o quarteto fez barulho com algumas performances locais em Toronto, ganhou popularidade online e finalmente, debutou em turnês junto a nomes como Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip e os conterrâneos canadenses do Tokyo Police Club . O primeiro disco numa gravadora grande, Red, Yellow & Blue (2008), tem o viciante hit "Hummingbird" e [...]

It has been a while since I’ve put together a Gigantic recap post, but last night was pretty special so I thought it was about time I pulled the finger out. Being a good friend, Kim Barclay had organised for her bestie Dave Andrews to get a private DJ lesson at Gigantic as part of his birthday present. Not only did Dave get a DJ lesson, but he also got to DJ for the early part of Gigantic. Having had zero previous DJ experience, Dave was thrown into the proverbial deep stuff. Obviously [...]
After dropping the critically acclaimed album Swing Lo Magellan , the indie band Dirty Projectors had a slew of remixes that followed . One of the musicians to take a turn on their lead single "The Socialites" is Hot Chip 's Joe Goddard . Adding some xylophones and soft drum samples for an airy beat, Goddard makes a smooth remix driven by Amber Coffen 's charming vocals. Packaging up some unreleased remixes to their lead single "The socialites", the group prepares to drop a 123 vinyl later this May.

Art rock has seen the meteoric rise of some of today’s most exceptional bands: Foals are set to take their fuzzy anthemia to festival stages this summer, Hot Chip have established themselves as fine purveyors of their very own distinct brand of new-wave/funk/disco/pop and Everything Everything have broken into the stratosphere of the charts. English five-piece Dutch Uncles are no exception; with their amalgamation of heady math pop and exquisite delivery, they're now serving up a [...]
