As the 13th annual Movement Electronic Music Festival approaches, with a global techno fan base poised to descend upon Detroit, the Dancing Astronaut editors prepare for their own stint of techno tourism.

The other 50% is my inner voice telling me to stop staring at asses in yoga pants. Fingerbanger Bukakke : Blunted Dummies - House For All (Original Mix) (don lowed) [...]

En af alle discotiders største aktøre, Vincent Montana, Jr , der iblandt mange ting var langtidsmedlem af MFSB -kollektivet og manden bag The Salsoul Orchestr a, døde i weekenden, 85 år gammel. Ydermere vil det alsidige musiktalent med den lange karriere blive særligt husket, for de talrige soulproduktioner, der slap ud af Philadelphia igennem 70erne og start-80erne. The Philly Soul , som i de sene 60ere blomstrede op i Philadelphia , Pennsylvania, og som nød stor popularitet igennem 70erne, var soulmusik med store træk på funk og instrumenter [...]

Il semble qu'en ces temps difficiles toute une société regarde vers son passé comme pour se rappeler combien il était réconfortant d'être bercé dans les bras d'une mère. La nostalgie est le sentiment emblématique de ces années de crise et elle n'épargne pas la musique. On peut le regretter tant il est vrai que pour certains producteurs cela consiste à décliner sans créativité aucune les canons inventés par d'autres en leur temps mais on ne saurait nier que d'autres se servent à merveille de leurs penchants nostalgiques pour transcender des tracks on ne peut plus contemporains en leur insufflant une [...]
