If you have ever been to a Sensation somewhere around the globe, you know that the production level is greater than any other concert on Earth. The newest addition to the Sensation family is 'The Source of Light,' a new show that premiered in Amsterdam this year, and is centered around, well, a giant sphere of light. As the DJ spins from inside the sphere, pyrotechnics, theatrics, dancers, and lights work to recreate the original feeling and vibes of electronic clubs. Producers want "a whole night with one feeling... where all is one, we are all connected," and the video [...]

by teepoo Last night Drake Hotel hosted an event called Overdrive for tiff opening weekend. Maylee Todd headlined the show. - First up was New Hands . This was the first time I've seen their set in full. The boys are young but they have a sound that is so well developed, and fun. Stage presence wise is still a little awkward but kind of endearing. [...]

The name might give it away, but there's something quite whimsical about Magical Beautiful . The Chicago psychedelic synth-pop group's sound rests in a bizarre ambient plane that occasionally drifts toward a more new wave, Devo-esque brand of absurdity. Their latest, 20112s Here Comes The Wild Waves , pretty much encapsulates that in nine tracks that flow together like some kind of cosmic fantasy. The nine-minutes, "Purest Place," opens up with its far out dub feel that unwinds into "Silverado," which has a decidedly more spacey, electro-rock feel. If your [...]

by teepoo On Friday I checked out my first Summer Works gig. The music ones mostly occur at the Theater Centre (the venue behind the Great Hall). Opening up the night was Ark Analog the duo of Maylee Todd and Grapes Godly (otherwise known as Dan Werb from Woodhands ). It was only their 4th gig together so it was a tiny bit shakey to start but they pulled out some electronic and dance friendly tunes. Maylee had some strange voice [...]

The first official night of the Summerworks Musical Series started off with a bang. Playing before a packed house at the ridiculously cool Theatre Centre venue, indie pop act The Magic put on an impressive show that also doubled as their record release party for their upcoming debut album Ragged Gold . Featuring both Geordie Gordon and the leggy Sylvie Smith on vocals, the group's music can best be described as fun infectious music that can inspire some hand claps and serious waspy dancing. I first saw The Magic in 2009 [...]

Zuzana Hudackova It's shaping up to be an Autumn of Can-rock double bills high on value. Folks thought that it was a pretty impressive pairing of talent when it was announced last month that Dan Mangan and The Rural Alberta Advantage were teaming up to cross the country in October, or the June announcement that Metric and Stars were hitting the country's arenas together, but that were just the first of a number of impressive double-bills looking to share driving duties across Canada this Fall.

è un gran remix quello ad opera di Slow Magic per il brano Everything Falls Apart di The One AM Radio , dal loro disco Heaven Is Attached by a Slender Thread uscito lo scorso anno per Dangerbird Records :
So what's the word on Twitter.....apparently it's Mazzoni . They're an indie rock n roll band from West Cumbria, England. Formed in 2008 and draw influence from sources as musically diverse as The Beatles , [...]

This month the Southbank Centre hauled in baroque pop minstrel Antony to curate its annual Meltdown, and a thorough refurb in feel he's been furnishing the idyllic riverside cultural retreat with over the past week too. Conducting a folkloric saunter both proverbial and enviable through hallowed halls previously trodden by the likes of Bowie, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Costello, Cave and Ray Davies just last year, there's a particular poignancy to the unchanged designation (one resolute since '93) of this year's series as the capital finds itself at the very centre of Olympian maelstrom. If Meltdown hasn't yet descended [...]

Nuestra label de cabecera Future Classic , no ha parado este año con propuestas super frescas y muy interesantes. Como siempre con la versatilidad que los caracteriza de escoger proyectos diferentes y positivos, llegó para quedarse PANAMA , banda radicada en Sydney (Australia) liderada por el experimentado vocal J arrah MacCleary ( The Dirty Secrets ). Acaban de presentarnos " Magic ", himno veraniego de sonidos electro pop, que ha sido una bomba desde la presentación del inigualable remix elaborado por [...]
We spoke to Geordie Gordon, one half of Canadian indie pop band The Magic, about writing, Rock Hudson, and working with his brother.

Liam Maloney And then there were ten. Yesterday, atop the roof of the Drake Hotel amidst record-breaking heat, the short 2012 Polaris Music Prize short list was announced, dashing the hopes of thirty artists and allowing ten others to begin imagining just what they might do with the $30,000 prize that awaits one of them (the correct answer being: gold plate all of the things). And it's an interesting group, to be sure. Some will complain about the lack of a francophone artist - which also surprises me considering the number [...]
RR Eleni Mandell is one of LA’s most dependably great singer songwriters – witty, warm, sensual and sweet. I hear all of that in her latest single, “ Magic Summertime ”, off her album “ I Can See the Future ”. Click here to view the embedded video. It’s classic pop about a romantic love affair that could never work but was fun while it lasted. I love this line especially: “I knew, in my heart, that [...]

The band's sound is brimming with '80 influences and tropical instrumentals, bound to become a summer anthem. Stay tuned for [...]
