Given my total absence from this blog over the past three weeks, I don't suppose it'll be any surprise to hear that I didn't have time to contribute to this month's MAP either. So for the second month in a row, my England contribution comes ghostwritten by MAP organiser Jason ...
ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Eloisa Lopez - Espiral This is one of Zonaindie's favorite tracks from 2009. It was taken from Eloisa's third album, Por Un Paisaje. Maybe we like her so much because she manages to elegantly combine acoustic textures with native South American percussions and digital sounds. Espiral is a great example of this, and yet an unbelievably catchy tune that has Leo García as a guest vocalist. What else could you [...]
Once more, here is this first MAP of the new decade, January's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. After the jump you'll find music from 35 nations spanning the globe. If you'd like to be considered for this feature, drop by the comments section with a [...]
The Music Alliance Pact is a collective of 35 of the world's top music blogs and webzines from 35 countries spanning six continents. Every month, each of these 35 sites picks one hot local song that gets posted on all these great blogs and zines. This month we picked Mumbai singer-songwriter Noush Like Sploosh 's '3 Act Circus' as the Indian representative on this massive international indie mixtape. The song is featured on Stupid Stupid Stupid and is a pretty good measure of the work of one of our [...]
It's the 15th of February, Music Alliance pact day! Music Alliance Pact (MAP) is a collaboration between 34 blogs from all over the world, and every month, each of us present a new band from our country. All presentations are put together in this huge blogpost, and presented on the same day in all the MAP blogs. Massive promotion for the bands! Today, MAP is presented with an interview in the UK newspaper the Guardian. It should be online on their website today. My favourites this time includes Norway (of course), Argentina, Australia (wonderful [...]

Some people do their good worldly deeds by tirelessly seeking out the truth among the lies, or by turning their carbon footprint into a tiptoe, or making asylum seekers feel welcome. As much as The Pop Cop aspires to make a difference, to be something better, for now you'll just have to content yourself with the Music Alliance Pact, which takes you on a 35-stop journey through seven continents on the 15th of every month, bringing music from the untapped reaches of Estonia to the beach fronts of Copacabana and the back alleys of Beijing. [...]
Apesar de Jasmin Jones viver agora em Portugal, grande parte da sua vida foi passada bem longe. Ela nasceu na Austrália mas já viveu na Nova Zelândia e nas Ilhas Salomão e, talvez por isso, o seu projecto a solo tenha tanto a ver com aquilo que ama: a natureza, o mar, a praia, o surf.Numa primeira audição, o que me impressionou foram as qualidades na composição e interpretação de Jasmin, apesar

Kumm nu mai e un secret pentru nimeni din Romania. Faptul ca nu a ajuns pana acum sa obtina notorietatea media pe care o merita se datoreaza faptului ca acest gen de notorietate e inca dependent de televiziune si suntem inca un popor de clubberi, manelisti si metalari. Publicul Kumm vechi e unul alternativ; cel nou, e unul extrem de tanar, de la adolescentii indie la hipsterii pentru care Kumm de acum 10 ani era ceva mult prea complex pentru a fi integrat unei mode. Kumm - [...]
it's always been a great thrill introducing the finest local talents to an international audience through MAP . this month, we're especially excited to be attacking your ears with the ferocious sounds of stellarium , as handpicked by our local music ambassador brian koh . even as we speak, their recently released self titled album is generating interest among shoegazers abroad, with one listener describing it as "what [a place for burying strangers' latest album] exploding head should have been". heads up everyone - this is one Singaporean act you shouldn't miss.

Cologne based electronic music producer Napoli Is Not Nepal is one of the most underrated artists coming from Germany. Debuting on Shitkatapult in 2002 with Revolv_er with an idiosyncratic mix of pop and IDM I would have expected him to be better known, yet he never made big like T. Raumschmiere, Apparat or Telefon Tel-Aviv despite making multi layered and easier accessed music. It took him 7 long years to come with his sophomore on Onitor, called Boredom is always counterrevolutionary . This is basically in the same vein as his debut with less jazz [...]
The real question is, when EYHO rules the west-side and SHITKATAPULT the east-side, who is Omar Little in this mousetrap called Berlin? represent - in full effect The man named Nico passed on this DJ mix to us. Monday is the perfect day to reflect. Does your job make sense? Still? Has your relationship died recently and you don't want to admit it? Do chemicals help your body? Everything with Judith Juillerat in it is always a pleasure.(and yes, make sure you book your flight now for the Scandale Party [...]
