It takes a pretty hard set of cojones to take on any of Daft Punks' back catalogue, but when it's done right; only great things can come from it. We'll let you be the judge of Mirrors up & coming Italian Stallion. At only 18 years old, the world's his oyster. DAFT PUNK – Around The World (Mirrors Remix)

The name Vicious Circle is synonymous with the hard-edged techy side of the drum n bass scene but for this, the second release on their own Siren imprint, the duo have taken the foot off the gas slightly and invited Need For Mirrors along for "Eyes Wide Shut ". Sounding not unlike something that would originate from Calibre's studio, it's a lovely laid back summery roller that sprinkles subtle piano notes over a crisp break with a warm serving of sub bass to finish things off. Check the preview [...]
Seguramente cuando hablamos de Making Mirrors , o incluso de los otros dos trabajos discográficos de este artista, a algunos les cuente saber de qué se trata. Lanzado en agosto de 2011, el tercer disco de Gotye tiene un tema que sobresale del resto, no porque éstos sean peores, ni mucho menos, sino porque "Somebody That I Used To Know" ha dado mucho de qué hablar y a día de hoy suena en las emisoras de radio más conocidas a nivel mundial. Y ha sido tal vez este éxito el que [...]
Guy Gerber - "The Mirror Game"
Sonny Smith - "The Stick-Up" . Sonny sings a song about a bad race. This town's not big enough for both of us. A petty crime set in the browns and faded mauves of Peanuts . An alcoholic behind the counter, a kid with a ski mask, guns. Acoustic guitar and dusty recorders, playing in a line. A story like this cannot be photographed, only taped, captured accidentally. There are no paparazzi at a stick-up; the only flashes are muzzle fire. So the song is a recollection, a fiction, or a lie. It is deliberate, no matter [...]

The latest installment in our sporadic yet always satisfying mix series comes courtesy of a producer I've been posting a fair bit about recently. Hailing from Glasgow, Mirrors is a high-calibre architect of the house and garage variety, although recently exhibited his polymathic talents by dropping a stellar hip-hop release in the form of Superior EP . Clocking in at just under 40 minutes, the mix itself is a compelling exploration of new house music with throwback elements. Featuring tunes from the likes of Synkro, Boddika & Joy Orbison, Mosca, Jack Dixon and Mirrors himself, [...]

Sam Chown, drummer for the psychedelic synth prog duo Zorch, has released the first song and visuals from his upcoming solo project Shmu. "House of Stares" is much less spastic and speedy than Zorch, relying more on funky grooves then dense layers of synths. It works really well and creates a pretty creepy atmosphere with Chown's haunting vocal repeating the hook as if it were a mantra. The video is build of raw cuts of Chown wandering around in a carnival wearing pink pajamas and playing around with mirrors as well as some simple visual after effects. Discipline [...]
A departure from his usual offering of house and garage vibes, yesterday saw Glasgow producer Mirrors drop a 5 track hip-hop release entitled Superior EP . Despite track names such as 'Swag' and 'Mo Money' implying Soulja Boy style vacuity, this is actually pretty melodic stuff. Lush synth, elements of tonal percussion, vocal snips and an assault of intricate hats combine to form some seriously infectious beats that make me want to get some hydraulics installed on my Astra and bounce down my local high street. Infinitely more captivating than the majority of snap tunes [...]

Good evening, travelers. You're entering an area adjacent to the general vicinity of a particular place. Maybe it's a website that posts some weird kind of music. This is just a for instance. It could also be something totally different. Something cooler. Prepare to enter the Sunday Mix Tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give [...]
Sin duda alguna Hurry Up, We are Dreaming de M83 fue uno de los discos más comentados y admirados del 2011, no sólo por su calidad sino porque hoy en día es cada vez más raro encontrar producciones dobles como ésta. Además de la gira mundial que en estos momentos están realizando, la banda ha decidido continuar con la promoción del álbum a través del lanzamiento de un nuevo EP de remixes, el cual será editado el 21 de abril como parte de las celebraciones del [...]

Ik had 'm niet zien aankomen, en toch is het een logische samenwerking: Mirrorring, een combinatie van Grouper en Tiny Vipers . Liz Harris maakt onder eerstgenoemde naam ambientachtige soundscapes met gitaar en Wurlitzer , langzaam strepen trekkend door een dromerig, spookachtig geluidlandschap. Jesy Fortino, opererend als Tiny Vipers, bereikt eenzelfde melancholische stemming met haar kaalgestripte en trage akoestische folk, waarbij haar gefluister soms het enige is dat je uit de trance haalt. Ze vonden elkaar een aantal jaren geleden bij een optreden en sindsdien hebben de twee dames gewerkt aan het debuutalbum Foreign Body [...]
Mirrorring widerspiegelt die Seelenverwandtschaft zweier höchst interessanten Künstlerinnen: Liz "Grouper" Harris und Jesy "Tiny Vipers" Fortino. Was zusammengehört hat zusammengefunden. Es ist eigentlich keine und doch positive Überraschung, dass gerade diese zwei Ikonen der Eigenbrötlerei gemeinsame Sache machen. Obwohl beide ganz eigene Wege gehen, bewegten sie sich stets in ähnlich melancholischen Gefilden. Während jedoch Fortino ihren reduzierten Songwriterstücken gern mit bedrückenden Dronepassagen Nachdruck verleiht, lässt Harris ihre Songschreiberqualitäten meist nur schwach durch diffusen Dronenebel schimmern. Man hätte von Miss LonerFolk und [...]
