This morning we had something by Robjn. This afternoon Laserlong, which was recommended by Robjn. I know nothing about Laserlong other than they claim to be from London, UK. Free download. At least my lack of knowledge allows us to focus on the music, where the word is synths . Here's a remix of SoundRix (no idea) which is all built around and rests totally on the synth. An uncomplicated house backbeat allows the twisting synth line to take centre stage and to hog the limelight throughout, slightly in the way that one of my favourites Spooky's Mono does. There's [...]
The two dudes in Laserlong have spent much of 2008 uploading all sorts of free music for the kids to enjoy, whether it be mixtapes, remixes, exclusive takes from their upcoming albums, etc. So, to finish off the year, they decided to keep true to form with this, a sprawling near-hour mix of music called the "Xmas Rejection" that the duo describe as "none of that Christmas bullshit." Tracklist: 01 The Killers - Human (Ocelot remix) 02 Underworld - Ring Road (Fake Blood remix) 03 Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To (Erol's Glam [...]
Not much to say about this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape. Just your standard mix of the week's best new singles, covers, and remixes along with a few mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Our "standard" is just a little different than most other's "standard." After all, where else will you find 33 free and legal mp3s at your disposable? NEW Singles: "Another World" by Antony and the Johnsons "Move You" by Anya Marina [...]

Following up on the recent Fresh posts, here's a selection of more downbeat and ambient tracks from little-known artists and remixers. Sigur Ros get a nice spread-out remix treatment courtesy of recently-featured Robjn. Laserlong's "The City" wouldn't sound out of place on a Nu Cool compilation, while Silje Nes remind me of old Mazzy Star tracks to great effect. Downliner Sekt intrigue with an update on the sound of Boards of Canada and Mogwai (plus all of their music is up free for download on their website!). Also check out Synthar (with a nod to Postal Service and Death Cab) [...]

We featured Robjn , a remixer and producer and graphic artist and laptop guru, etc. guy from the UK a while back in this column and he hit us up a while back to make note of his new band, a duo he created with fellow musician (though more of a traditionalist that Mr. Barker is) Shaun Wallace. The band is called Laserlong . And yup, they're here now too. This kid just can't seem to do any wrong. The music is electro and rock, minimalist and gigantic, beautiful and [...]
Ziemlich aktiver Junger Mann, dieser Robjn Barker. Neben seiner Remixeraktivität hat er mittlerweile auch eine Bandprojekt am Start. Zusammen mit seinem Companero Shaun Wallace bilden sie zusammen "Laserlong" und basteln richtig schöne Tracks zischen Ambient, Electronica und Electropop. Ein sehr abwechsungsreiches Debütalbum ist ihnen mit "Departure" durchaus gelungen und um dies zu unterstreichen, dürfen wir hier die komplette "City" Single inklusiv dreier Remixe als freien Download anbieten. Danaben kann ich "Free" empfehlen, erinnert mich absolut an die frühen Human League und Soft Cell Synthiesounds. Laserlong - Free MP3 LAserlong - The [...]
