Mikkel Metal - Fubre ( buy ) Echochord's Colour Series always makes for essential listening. The Pink vinyl split between Resoe and Mikkel Metal is deep [...]

One of my worst dreams I feared is coming close to fruition. The Denver sports scene is in jeopardy of becoming the new Cleveland. Melo is on his way out and there's nothing stopping him. The only upside to his departure is the promise of new talent that might hustle and play some defense. The Broncos seem to kick any sign of talent out the door (i.e. Scheffler, Cutler, Hillis, Marshall, etc....), and the Rockies checked out of the playoff race a week too early. The dark ages ALMOST seems evident and the only reason I'm watching the [...]
Til september frigiver Dmitry Fyodorov opfølgningen til deres debutalbum Shapeless , som heller ikke gik bloggen forbi. Deres kommende udgivelse hedder Shapeless: The Remixes og er netop, hvad den lyder af. Alle numrene fra det oprindelige album er blevet remixet og sat sammen til et remixalbum. Der er blevet inviteret nye talenter såvel som gamle kendinge til at give deres bud på genfortolkninger af numrene. I denne uge har vi fået den første appetitvækker fra den kommende udgivelse. Den danske producer Mikkel Metal har leveret et remix i den stil, som [...]

[ Kompakt ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy CD ) ( buy mp3s ) Seasons come, seasons go, and with them Kompakt's Pop Ambient series, where the label's clockwork ticks much slower than usual. Not that Pop Ambient's reliability has never been in question: every time a new installment filters through the opinion-maze of web- and music criticism, someone proclaims it's not as good as the last one, or the series' key idea is petering out, or maybe Kompakt should stick to making IKEA techno, or that it's too much of [...]

[ Echocord ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) The first batch of remixes from Luke Hess's debut long player, Light In The Dark are predictably a dub heavy swag retouched by some of the leading lights of dub-based techno. Stephen Hitchell adopts his cv313 guise for a sublime, spatial meander through Hess's "Reel Life," opening up the reverb gates and giving the track a solid drenching in ambient white noise. The fragments borrowed from the track are chilled down to an icy freeze, sounding like they're contracting [...]

San Soda - Doorsnee ( buy ) San Soda offers up deep house music that is both rooted in the past and firmly aimed towards the future. Out on We Play House Recordings San Soda gives us three killer tracks from his vaults. On the A-side is 'Doorsnee', a track that already had people requesting a release when it was but in its infant days on his Myspace . Describing it is quite the task, because it kinda [...]

clarion alley series.2007 a number of my friends in the bay area are having babies as of late. this decision to breed and scatter effected my east coast friends about 5 years back. maybe the west coast is 5 years ahead, or too late. i guess it depends on how you look at it. well, two of these babies have the fortune? of listening to such bands as nirvana, radiohead and the cure in baby format, which i guess along with polka, classical and rock are formats of music. i wonder [...]
I would everyday, if you would let me.

Teutonic sounds for a weekend that came a tad late for me. Most of the songs feature a steady motorik beat set to replicate the experience of motorway driving through the autobahn... or just bouncing on your living room alone at 4 am. All flowing, repetitive and slightly snobbish. An accurate aural copy of how I've been feeling this week. 01. Gas - untitled 1 (Pop, 2000) 02. Zorn - eckermann (block 011, 2001) 03. Mikkel Metal - kaluga [...]
