A taste of spring washed up on our doorsteps this week, 50 degrees had us remembering the living yet to be done this year. While everybody is capable of stating what is their perception, get over it and make something. Big Ups to Benzito for his K-os track he posted yesterday, genius. Spring is still off a bit, but that doesn't stop the wanting to tear off into it and not look back, unfortunately, winter doesn't give a shit. So I ease off into the sun shine mind set with a little Karminsky Experience . The Power [...]

This week has been pretty hectic for me. I've been studying for my chemistry exam that will take place in the coming week, so I haven't really had that much time to work on Going Other Places. I brushed up the sidebar with some fresh new icons though and I found the time to update my Twitter account too. I even got to ask my followers about their recommendations for 2009, and I'll be doing something similar in the future. Don't hesitate to follow! I've come up with some great ideas for 2009 though, some of [...]

E verywhere I look, dead Christmas trees. A unique thing I had never seen before moving to Germany is that people just dump the used tress anywhere on the street. No designated pile, no obligations to get it to a dump... Severed stumps everywhere! So we find it quite fitting to share with you Joakim 's edit of one of our favorites, "Dead Eyes Opened" by the Severed Heads . When you hear this song (1984), [...]

C'est Fantastique The diversity of the blog world never ceases to amaze me. My analytic reader for the page gives me a glimpse of the crowd that's tuning in to see what delights are on display for your eyes and ears. The country who wins the award for most visits overall for 2008 is also the same that produces some of the best house music - France. Second Place went to the United States and Australia in a close third. We had a total of 206,890 visitors in 2008 [...]

pic: Mike Harrison Laid back. We all like free stuff. Even better when it's great free content. That's what Faux Pas offers you with his latest EP. Four tracks for free download in glorious high quality. Psychadelic. Balaeric. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music that draws influence from across the whole musical spectrum and fuses it together into luscious slices of electronic melody. You can download the EP from here . There's no excuse not to. [...]
1. Popof Consistantly producing some of the finest dance music out there.

I finally managed to collect my thoughts and create a top 10 with my favorite remixes of 2008. Looking back, there has been an amazing amount of great remixes in 2008, which resulted in a difficult process of choosing, but here's the list. I would love to hear from you, whether you agree or disagree, so be sure to give your keyboard a spin. 10. Studio - West Side (Klumpfisk Remix) It hasn't been more than a few days since I blogged about Klumpfisk 's remix, where his Young Folks [...]

As I write a remix feature, I obviously really love remixes. Remixes span far and wide, they can be hit or miss, sometimes they are just completely rubbish and ruin the song, or sometimes they manage to surpass the original and are just so much better. Then sometimes you're left in that nowhere land in between where they are neither better nor worse, just interesting and worthwhile to listen to. Regardless, it always fascinates me how an individual can take a song and change it around to make it something completely new, different and therefore affect you in a completely [...]

DJ Mehdi is my favorite nu-skool french hiphop dj/producer. His latest tune Pocket Piano is huge, especially the remixes by Brodinski and Joakim. It got that classic house sound with that ultra epic piano part that guarantee to work in any dance floor anywhere in the world. DJ Mehdi myspace Music: DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano [mediafire]

High up on the 11th floor of my undisclosed office I'm watching the first snowstorm of the year through a wall of picture windows. I can see the tiny people below trudging over the bridges, past the warehouses. The city buses have slowed to a crawl. This weather puts me in an especially reflective mood and Arthur Russell's music provides the perfect soundtrack. The late Arthur Russell was a visionary, musically too far ahead of his time to be regarded as anything other than obscure amongst his contemporaries. Wildly experimental, Russell's contributions to minimal [...]

After everything that has happened are the boys from Paris still cool? You bet they are. I had a chance to speak to one of the men who has been at the forefront and a member of the ED BANGER team which has helped bring so much change and inspiration to music over the last couple of years. His name is DJ MEHDI and he has a new release 'Pocket Piano' which was just released. Here we get to sit down and talk about the story behind the track, the history of the man and [...]

Ce soir on va parler de ce que Mr. Hrmv nous parlait il y à déjà quelques mois. La deuxième Vandalism Party voit enfin le jour à Toulouse et ce n'est pas pour déplaire à certains. Cette fois-ci elle aura lieu au Pink Flower (complexe du Ramier) et ce sera le 12 Décembre. Houroumov n'en reste pas là il veut bien nous dire qu'il essayera par la suite de faire venir encore plus de monde sur notre chère ville rose et nous faire passer de super soirée. On en reparlera ;) Suite a un [...]

As you may have noticed, I have been having difficulties with my mp3 links for a few weeks now. I did Boxstr and Fileden for a while, went to File Dropper next, then a bit of Hotlink files (not a good choice, btw) and now that everything has been resolved, I have finally settled with BOTH Zshare and Mediafire . (Dunce) So in this Christmas edition of Hardcore Mixtape, I decided to once again play Santa. I placed what I think may be [...]

" I don't listen to music like I used to because radio has gotten strange. I mean, maybe that's because I'm old. I like some of the new acts. I've bought a couple rap records. I bought Juvenile's record. I bought a Tupac record. And I don't like rap, but those guys are better than most." was yesterday, but still happy birthday old man. [...]
