By the time I read the presser I was sent about the new IS TROPICAL video, it was already too late. YouTube had already taken it down as 'its content violated YouTube's Terms Of Service'. This immediately set off my internal alarms, as something taken down so quickly, had to be one of two things. Very very good, or at least, pretty damn crude. Thankfully, Vimeo aren't a bunch of prudes taking orders from Google - and there you can view the full official uncut totally crude, but totally amazing [...]
Stomach flu bad. Remixes good. Late Of The Pier Best In Class (Soulwax Remix) Blueberry (Simon Bookish Remix) I bought this 123 single because it had the words "Soulwax Remix" on the front cover in all caps. I didn't even know who the original artist was when I picked it up. I've heard enough Soulwax remixes to know that when they take hold of a track it they own it so much that they practically own it. This one is no exception. I [...]

Dance-punks, Late of the Pier look set to return in 2013. The band, who released their debut album in 2008 and then announced their hiatus two years later, have posted a message on their official Facebook page that suggests increased activity is forthcoming. They write: "friends... it's been a long time. very soon you will hear news of what we've been up to and where all our hands have been [...]

Good news Late of the Pier fans, it seems the band are preparing to return. The band - who released their debut album Fantasy Black Channel in 2008 and have only released a few singles since (their last being 'Best In Class' in 2010) - posted the following message on their Facebook page : "...very soon you will hear news of what we've been up to and where all our hands have been hiding. promise." They also spoke about the band's [...]
The London-based music blogger shares her love for British music and fills us in on her musical taste.
"It's those little things that remind you that I'm just a human being playing records, trying to connect with people." On Sunday Diplo’s Mad Decent label takes over Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn with the third of five Block Parties taking place this summer around North America. In addition to appearances by Major Lazer, Zebra Katz, [...]

Chopped & edited down like four slices of beef being laid out on a smoky BBQ oven (and with one of them suddenly cutting out at the end - so apologies for that Aerials!), this Soulwax inspired collection aims to celebrate the achievements of Stephen Dewaele, David Dewaele, Stefaan Van Leuven and Steve Slingeneyer - in observing their worldwide command as a highly superior live performance based band from Ghent in Belgium. Happy days are here once more. SOULWAX – Another Excuse (DFA Remix) [...]

On its day, its stately surrounds elevate Somerset House up among the finest of London's musical establishments; up amongst the Roundhouses and 100 Clubs of the capital. They are, however, only employed as such for a few days over a week of each year and tonight it bids its final farewell to 2012. Furthermore, we're at the mercy of the elements out here with shows taking place come the rain, sporadic shine or inevitably diluvial thunderstorms to plague our ghastly BST. Such downpours held off on Monday as Susanne Sundfør cast a spellbindingly revelatory darkness over the courtyard [...]

The Metropolitan Jolt is proud to be providing coverage for this year's Identity Festival . We will be profiling artists performing in the lead up to the September 3rd date at the Shoreline Amphitheater. London DJ and producer BURNS is one electro-house act that has been pumping out quality tunes for years, but has recently garnered attention from the more mainstream side of electronic music. With remixes for Ladyhawke and Frankmusik becoming popular within days of their release, it's clear that the world has taken notice of this DJ's talents. Last year he wrapped up a US tour with [...]

Vancouver's Humans are in the business of showing you how to have a good time. As their previously featured "Avecs Mes Mecs" states, "all you have to do is party." Summer is nearly over and the weeks are going to start getting a little longer. For that reason, Quit Mumbling let Humans take the reigns on a mixtape designed to save your day. We put their submission to the test, gave it multiple spins, and threw down an emphatic stamp of approval. Here's what Humans have to say about it: Straight up. This mix [...]
The Carpels represent a new era for the Birmingham music scene, one that looks set to grab the ears of London and the nation. The area's rough-and-ready indie sound has bred a small and exclusive scene that is gaining strong recognition nationwide. The Carpels’ music is by no means easy-listening; it grabs listeners and hurtles [...]

Umm. Yes, we do have (another) Adele remix. And it's a pretty good one, to be honest! Hourglass Sea is possibly the best thing to have come out of Bradford. I know that expression is usually followed by a since ... but I didn't really think there was a since . He has remixed/remade the superb pop song into something that you can imagine being played by a synthy, rocky band with a drummer on angry drugs in the background. You should really turn this one up very loud. And if you like it then you can see [...]
Another SXSW has passed, and this year, I intended on doing a daily diary, but the internet kind of sucked in our hotel, and I also really wanted to sleep, so instead you get this: a big, huge list of everything awesome at SXSW, including some amazing day parties thrown by our friends at [...]

Bem-vindos ao meu espaço. Aqui irei colocar música. Música que escuto e me apetece partilhar. Por aqui irão passar tanto artistas de renome como novos projectos que tenho vindo a descobrir ao longo do tempo e que a meu ver merecem ser encontrados e ouvidos por mais pessoas. Para esta primeira edição, tentei escolher um conjunto variado de canções de alguns dos artistas que mais me têm marcado e que penso ficarem bem umas com as outras. São sete faixas algo diversificadas que se juntam numa lista que espero que vos faça desfrutar dos seus 28 [...]

Did you think we were going to forget you on a Friday night? What's that? No? Yeah right, you were all sweatin' it. Well relax, we have some tasty tunes for your weekend ahead. However, this will be a short list because you have 50 of 20102s best to refer back to and a big fat nasty Dubstep Best Of coming next week. So for now, here's something to chew on. Get Nurdy! For more jams or by any of these artists use the [...]

All the way back in 2008 , my feeble mind started the idea for the "Best Remixes" list. These were the days when I didn't realise what electronic music was and, like the majority of the population, thought that a remix was putting a 4 to the floor beat to a non-electronic song. Oh, how times have changed! Then, last year , I decided to put everything in random "genre" categories (I use genre in the broadest sense possible). So now, this part of the triad of lists has morphed into electronic dance music and [...]

They seem like they planned this. Shit gets creepy in a good way at around 2:19. Full song below. Late of Pier- Best in Class (Soulwax Remix)

Well, these weren't hard to find and the whole year I didn't post these guys once which they dominated the years before, strangely they got a remix in last minute this year. Just in time for those year end lists! First off is the Soulwax remix of Late of the Pier Best in the Class . Although I'm still biased towards their huge remix of The Chemical Brothers, similar sounds as their other remixes, but god damn it's great to hear another remix coming from Soulwax. I thought they gave up [...]

pic: itwasthelight Hope you dirty dancers had a happy holiday weekend. Unlike my fellow contributor ///BONES the Mixtape Machine , making a mixtape has always been a long, tedious process for me that typically results in clubbed baby seals*. However, this December, I publicly committed to making a full-length mix that encompassed some of my favorite songs from 2010 (along with some surprises and throwbacks that I couldn't resist). Many long San Francisco nights and countless lunch breaks later, I proudly present my first full-length mixtape exclusively to you, the [...]
