Part one of a trilogy that the Miami freak-out-pop duo Awesome New Republic are planning on dropping this year, Rational Geographic Vol. 1 's artwork has just been revealed, in all of its SVA grad's glory. We've been crushing on these boys since we first heard material from them, and now with the definitive April 14 drop-day announced, we think you all will see why. It's indie pop you can (sometimes) dance to, but it's smart enough to know that that's not all it should be. And to top it all off, please enjoy the disc's first [...]
Come check out one of the biggest parties at this years WMC presented by Tommie Sunshine and Disco Donnie!!!
In den Liedern von Mi Ami (u.a. mit Daniel Martin-McCormick und Jacob Long von Black Eyes ) hat einfach alles Platz: Free Jazz, Dub, Minialism, Disco werden in hyper-nervöse, panische und sehr perkussive Songs gepresst. Man sagt, sie hätten ganze 2 Tage gebraucht, um 7 Lieder auf Watersports zu bringen. Bei dem Tempo bleibt wohl auch keine Zeit, um Luft zu holen. Klingt: Ruppig, körperlich, atemlos und sehr krachig.

Filed under: Around the World Miami music? Anyone who watches TV knows that: burbling salsa-funk like what's been accompanying TV's Dexter as he weeds out the local population. And then there was Jan Hammer's electrofunk pulsing while be-stubbled Crockett and Stubbs chase drug dealers in cigarette boats. Or whatever sounds match the orange glow from David Caruso's 'CSI' hair. And don't forget all those Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine videos from the '80s and '90s. If that's not your taste, there are always those techno beats blaring from the [...]

THIS IS GONNA BE WILD! San Francisco's Mi Ami bring their reccession-era afro-beat/thrash pop to Newcastle Upon Tyne. Joined by sexy disco poppers SDF and scuffed up imagestic experimentation from ~~~ as well as +1 Magazine / Isolationist DJs, which is me and some others playing bona-fide hot sauce/complimentary noise pop/party jams. CAN'T WAIT! It's on May 4 at The End on Scotswood Rd.
Spring has sprung, which means there's a new music festival on the horizon every time you get the urge to travel, check out new artists and do some debauching during the day. After the whirlwind of SXSW last week, this week dance music fans are heading down to Miami for the Winter Music Conference. Everyone from artists, DJs, producers, radio and video programmers, retailers, distributors and audio manufacturers show up, including UI artists Daedelus and Bitter:Sweet . Plus, there are dozens of panels and DIY workshops to choose from, like "Producing [...]
Jesus there's a killer lineup at Abbey Pub this Monday! Not only do we have who I would probably call my favorite DJ, Boys Noize , up there.. but along with him comes Don Rimini , Designer Drugs , Jack Beats and Gatekeeper . On a Monday ! This is going to be the most insane start to a week that I can even remember, and that's if I even remember it after all of the mayhem.. I'm gonna need to take the rest of the week off. And you might [...]
By now, many of you have either delved into all the cool parties being offered at SXSW, or prepping to leave for the madness that will ensue at WMC. Wherever you may be, or headed, Noise Floor Crew have put together a special WMC mini mix, to get you geared up! Get your last minute work out in before putting on your bathing suit and making a splash in the pool. "From Dubstep to fidget to straight up jacking Chicago house, the Noise Floor Crew WMC Mini Mix is a somehow schizophrenic yet fluid precursor to [...]

William Anthony Colon is a Puerto Rican salsa music icon. First and foremost a trombonist, also sings, writes, produces and acts. He is also involved in municipal politics in New York City. Colon was born in the Bronx, New York in April 28 1950, to Puerto Rican parents. He picked up the trumpet from a young age, and later switched to trombone, inspired by the all-trombone sound of Mon Rivera and -at least during a specific period in the 1960s- that of Eddie Palmieri. He was bullied in his neighborhood because of this, and had to defend himself [...]

Brooke Hogan spread her thunder thighs and unleashed her crotch of horror at Calle Ocho in Miami. Brooke Hogan 's performance featured her dancing and flipping around on a stripper pole and looking very seductive. With father Hulk Hogan watching in the audience, she said it was her first concert in about a year and was very enthusiastic. I bet he was too. [ Click thumbnails for a larger view ] [...]
By Greg Thrasher SXSW is finally here – that time of year when hipsters spanning the globe descend on Austin to drink Lonestar Beer and rock the fuck out....skinny jeans and all. Jealous that I couldn't be there, I've compiled a list of performances, which I can highly recommend...especially ones in bold. The shows below are pretty much all "official" SXSW shows which means there's a good chance the bands listed below are playing at least 3-5 other times in and around Austin – I highly encourage going to the bands' Myspace and find out any other shows [...]
Illustration by Gemma Correll Words by Phil Inzurriaga THE TIME IS NIGH. The culmination of my entire year. One week full of my absolute favorite things in the world that start with the letter b : Beer, Babes, Bands. Who knows where those three would rank on a normal day, but for one great week in March, it's all about BANDS. SXSW is one of the major jumpoffs for new bands. With the entire internet and virtually every magazine known to man in Austin, Texas, bands are made during this week. At [...]
This morning I was sad to realize that my entire New Order collection is missing from my ITunes : / If I realized this on Monday, I would have posted "Blue Monday" instead of this Radio One Essential Mix . But as mentioned before, when originally posted, this mix is stellar. There is word on the street that a there is a North American Hacienda Tour being planned for 2009. This archived mix was originally posted March 13th, 2008 (weird, a year to this day exactly?!?!) Anyway, there's loads of New Order [...]
For the first time ever I'm going to see first hand if the stars are big and bright in Texas! While down there I'll be checking out some up-and-coming bands to see who's worth writing about and listening to in the near future. Now a lot of the acts playing SXSW this year are established acts that I've been raving about for years, so it wouldn't be fair to point out a list of bands like The Decemberists and M. Ward instead I'm pointing out bands I've heard but never seen before. Who are you guys looking forward to seeing? [...]
by Andrew Frisicano DOWNLOAD: Mi Ami - "New Guitar" (MP3) On a series of engaging 12" singles and a fascinating debut LP ("Watersports," released last month), Mi Ami stretches out and languishes in punk-dub, sideways-jazz and African accents. On stage, however, Long (bass) and Martin-McCormick (guitar, vocals) stuck to more direct strategy: attack. That mostly meant McCormick riding Long's gut-punch Rickenbacker bass riffs and Palermo's kinetic drum patterns like a banshee, spraying the songs with [...]
