It's been quite some time since we've heard anything out of Rufus Wainwright and honestly I've missed his voice. Since the release of his 2007 album Release The Stars , Wainwright has had his hands in some unusual projects including two live albums, one of which is a tribute to Judy Garland, a studio album of original work released as an homage to his late mother, the folk singer Kate McGarrigle, as well as writing his first opera title Prima Donna which won the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Musical/Opera. Wainwright spent about [...]
This is pretty much brand spanking new. From the States in the form of a duo EDM newcomers 'Model' are breaking into the Electro scene with their free downloads creating some awareness and what a find they are. The sweet glitchy electronic sprites of 'Minuit' kick off with delicate vocal samples over the top twisting and chopping there way through the organised and chaotic build-up. The sounds are all over the place but until the sultry drop the groovy balance levels out and an awesome beat begins. It is [...]

Si "Minuit à Paris" est sans doute le film de Woody Allen qui a fait coulé le plus d'encre avant sa sortie qu'à après pour les raisons que l'on sait, pas sûr que qu'il reste comme un des plus les plus marquant de la filmographie de Woody Allen . Pourtant, malgré son côté facile, "Minuit à[...]
Initial exposure of electronic acts Burial and Neon Indian went beyond their infectious music and distinctive methods. While William Bevan (Burial) and Alan Palomo (Neon Indian) revealed personal facts about their projects as time went on, initial speculation regarding their work ranged from the fascinating to humorous. Burial's emergence coincided with speculation that it was [...]
I am kicking myself for not bringing Minuit to the attention of all AWMusic readers sooner. How I let a review of their third album, Find Me Before I Die A Lonely Death Dot Com, slip by is beyond my comprehension, and no doubt electro-pop fanatics will question my judgement once they feast their ears on the band's aural talents. Minuit (pronounced Minwee, as helpfully pointed out on the album cover) are a New Zealand-made threesome consisting of the lovely Ruth Carr and fellow knob-twiddlers Paul Dodge and Ryan Beehre. The band's success in places like London and [...]
Finland's finest, Rico Tubbs , a.k.a. DJ Infekto is so hot right now. Rico Tubbs began producing in 1994 and has dominated the Finnish scene.

Tubbs, always on the grind, also co-founding the '90s label, Pyssy (meaning "toy gun" in Finnish), with a focus on hip hop, big beat, breaks and turntablism, akin to many ESL or Ninja Tune releases. As a producer born into hip-hop sample-based production, Rico Tubbs [...]
After travelling 2500 miles by train, three muggings (and, subsequently, a continual nervy paranoia and general distrust of everyone - a little old grandma is potentially an undercover mugger), very little sleep, alot of sightseeing, a diet consisting purely of salami and cheese, reading a battered mixmag from cover to back and then from back to cover and finally a desperate (and unsuccessful) attempt at a tan, Pelski is now back and has many new posts coming your way. Fist up: Rico Tubbs who's been producing electronic music since 1994 and has ever since dominated the [...]
