Ever since electronic music first began to take hold of ears, hearts, and feet all over the United States, Europe, and beyond in the 1980's, the practice of experiencing electronic music as a collective as often been viewed as akin to a religious experience. The club is a church, the DJ a priest, the dancing masses the worshippers, and the beat the sermon. It is therefore only appropriate that Made Event's 36-hour event during Miami Music Week be entitled Sunday School; a place where children go to learn the ways of religion in an informal setting. And aren't we all [...]

Ultra Music Festival wasn't the only place to be in Miami last week. A whole plethora of events surrounding UMF made Miami Music Week 2011 an event that had something for everyone, no matter your particular genre tastes. What were some of the LessThan3 team's favorite parties? Step inside and take a look. Above & Beyond's label party is always among the most trafficked events during Miami Music Week, and this year was no exception. Sporting Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep rooms at Miami's Ice Palace, the Thursday night party was full of the top sounds in [...]

Lately I've been suffering from a lack of deep thoughts. The most profound one I've had in the past couple weeks has been, How come no matter which way you put a pair of underwear in the wash, when they come out of the dryer they always end up inside-out? Believe me, I've tried both ways and it doesn't seem to make a difference, the result is always the same. Sigh. Thankfully, other people are thinking deep thoughts. I know this because I recently got a free subscription to [...]

Bleck. That's what this weekend is looking like. At least it's supposed to be sunny for the kick off of my early season soccer match on Sunday- it'll be sunny, but cold. Can one play soccer in long johns? I might try. Any, I'm rambling, as I just don't have much to say about music, or anything else for that matter. So, I'll stop rambling, and let you just skip right on over to the downloads: Tracklisting: Goldfrapp - [...]

Britain is so cold it feels like the hell is freezing over. The country is blanketed in the white stuff and the country is grinding to a halt. Rumour has it that this is largely because the stiff upper lip has frozen to stiff lover lip. The blitz spirit so beloved of lazy journalists across the country has been buried under a couple of inches of snow and a few days of slightly cold weather! Well to celebrate the return of proper winters (god how old does that make me sound?) here are a few snow and ice [...]

Well, it's not really me doing the soliciting, I'm just asking for a friend. Really I am! What? You don't believe me? Oh shush! Here, I've copied Tim's email request exactly: "November is almost upon us again, so it's time to think about the Contrast Podcast Festive 50. This year it will be on episodes 194, 195 & 196 from the 15th to the 29th of December. So here is what I need you, your friends, the readers of your blog, your milkman and anyone else you know to do: 1. [...]

I got [...]

At the beginning of this month I posted on a band, Ice Palace, that hit me with some delightfully confusing grunge folk rockingness with their album Wonder Subtly Crushing Us. Well they've... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
