For fans of Nosaj Thing , constantly returning to Drift in need of a sophomore release, seeing the talented, young beat maker poolside in the middle of Sunset Strip probably was not the most expected atmosphere for his dark, rumbling productions. Any doubts were quickly quieted though. IAMSOUND's Mondrian Sessions have yet to disappoint. Jason Chung put on a hell of set, packed with his best ("Aquarium," "Caves," etc) and even some new ones. Paley Fairman was there to photograph for us. Take a look at her work below. We will definitely let you know [...]
Cette semaine, des groupes suisse -allemands ont la bonne idée de nous proposer des concerts dans la région. Nous allons donc nous intéresser à la troisième édition d'un festival qui se déroule très prochainement, du 9 au 12 février, à savoir le festival les Hivernales à Nyon . Je l'ai déjà mentionné il y a quelques semaines en parlant de The Bianca Story, qui se produit le vendredi 10 à la Parenthèse , mais on trouve plusieurs autres groupes suisses dans la programmation. Parmi eux bien sûr quelques groupes [...]

French band Mondrian have released their third EP and it is available for perusal here .
La semana pasada les compartimos a Mondrian, una especie de respuesta francesa a Belle & Sebastian. Esta joven banda parisina formada en el 2007, que después de lanzar su primer EP en Agosto del 2010 y otro más en Mayo del 2011, nos contagian de una mezcla de synth-pop, que es más parecido al new-wave [...]
Los reto a darle play a esta canción y no repetirla, silbarla o cantarla en su cabeza. Mondrian, banda parisina, ha logrado engancharme tan rápido, descargar su canción y buscar más sobre ellos, como pocas bandas lo hacen. "Paris" se llama esta canción que, a través de nuestro mail han compartido con nosotros para que [...]

Mondrian are a young Parisian rock/pop band which formed in 2007. They now have 3 EP's under their belt with "Pop Shop", "Whippersnapper" and the just released "Flood of Kool " on January 1st, 2012. Mondrian have a lot of good things going for them, with this newest EP 'Flood of Kool '. The sound is fresh and upbeat and if you take the time to listen you are sure to be swayed by their songs catchiness . The EP's songs that had me begging to listen [...]

So welcome everybody to 2012. Here's some new music kicking it off with the very pleasant music of Little Jungles not to be confused with little daggers. This track is Psych rock with nice little lead guitar through-out. Download: Nothing Will Grow MP3 by Little Jungles (2012) You may ask what's a Mondrian? Some freaky dutch Neo Plasticism? No it's pop music made by a French band called Mondrian who have made a killer video for another one of their tracks called Beware! The [...]

Unmistakably and unashamedly French but with the universal appeal that saw Phoenix win so many of us over, Parisian four-piece Mondrian have just released their third EP Flood Of Kool and we're smitten already. While the Phoenix comparison is a slightly lazy one, it certainly applies here. Flood Of Kool is full of sweet, inventive pop songs with killer hooks and softly sung harmonies that also recalls the hazy beauty of Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils. Check out the EP's opening track below and then head over to their [...]
Hailing from Paris, France, MONDRIAN is a young Pop/Rock group with a smooth sound that combines catchy production with fresh vocals and some Parisian flare. They just sent over their latest EP, Flood Of Kool, along with Paris, a free offering from the EP that's worth a listen. Preview: Paris To download, click the down [...]

Alright, so here we are at the very first hump day of 2012. I was looking around for some tunes to put a little shuffle in your step today but didn't find too many. Here is what is playing on my speakers this morning around the house. Enjoy. Free mp3: Generationals - Ten-Twenty-Ten Free mp3: Jhameel - Soldier's Daughter Free mp3: Foster The People - Call [...]

Svolta dantesca per i Piet Mondrian , che tentano un cambio di direzione accompagnato anche da un turnover nei componenti ( Baldini ha voluto modificare un po' le carte in tavola). "Misantropicana" ha lasciato un'immagine molto intellettualoide della formazione toscana, vicina per ispirazione testuale a quei Baustelle un po' hipster che hanno fatto la fortuna di un nutrito stuolo di imitatori. Il sound era comunque già imbevuto di new wave rinnovata ai linguaggi di oggi, ma senza l'acidità e l'essere pacchiano di questo "Purgatorio". Sostanzialmente dove si arrivava quasi alle fredde atmosfere dei [...]

By: Chris Gedos Rhode Island native Abraham Orellana performed under his moniker araabMUZIK on Friday night, 11/11/11, as part of The Mondrian Sessions at the hotel of the same name on the Sunset Strip. Although the LA scene has long since moved to Silverlake and Echo Park, The Mondrian Sessions are making The Strip relevant for lovers of independent MUZIK. AraabMUZIK's highly regarded Electronic Dream was released over the summer. It shocked and even upset some of his admirers, [...]

Roughing it is not my thing. The closest I've ever come to going camping were the few weekends that my best friend Lori and I spent at Moby's old house in the Catskills. It was big and stunning, and it had running water, but it was usually cold, and there was no Internet service! I might as well have gone back in time to 1890 -- or 1990! I'm a five-star kind of guy, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When my friend Devarni recently announced her plan to go hide out in the jungle of [...]
Ils sont quatre, ils viennent de Monthey, et existent depuis 2005 déjà. Courtisés par la presse rock française et acclamés par le public parisien et londonien, les Valaisans enchaînent alors les concerts en Europe, avec quelques très belles dates, notamment au Paléo et aux Eurockéenne de Belfort, et des premières parties prestigieuses. Après avoir prouvé qu'ils étaient un excellent groupe de scène , le quatuor enregistre enfin son premier album en 2009. The Mondrians revendiquent un héritage rock des années soixante/septante, en ne négligeant pas non plus les meilleurs [...]
"Polish Girl" by Neon Indian

The masked man SBTRKT made a moon-lit appearance at the pool of the Mondrian Hotel in LA this past Monday. Lucky attendees were awed by the deep beats that seemed to glide across the water and off into the city skyline. Our always lovely photographer Paley Fairman was on the scene to capture the unforgettable night. Radiohead - "Lotus Flower" (SBTRKT Remix)
