The Contemporary Noise Sextet (formerly known as the Contemporary Noise Quartet and the Contemporary Noise Quintet, for reasons which should be evident) are a Polish jazz band. Or are they? They're certainly Polish, and they're definitely a band, but whether this is jazz or not is open to question. Their music is not, as their name might suggest, noise in anything other than the broadest sense of the word. In fact, it's quite mellifluous. It's rather like a bit of '90s experimental rock, but played on jazz instruments. All good. I have heard [...]
What a life it is being a young classical composer, living in a world where your music is TOO EXCITING for people to listen to. Nobody went up to Rossini and told him that his new overture was too dramatic, and that everyone would have to pretend it never happened. Nobody made sure Ravel kept quiet about his strangely pulsing and erotic dance music. And to be fair, it's likely that no-one did anything similar to Anna Meredith either, although it would explain why so few people have heard of her or her music. [...]
Man do I want one of these badly : "Nautilus is a bookshelf inspired by the life long need for growth through learning. As an heirloom object, it contains only the family's most valued books. The ascending pattern represents the growth of the reader's age as well as the knowledge the reader will obtain over time in their pursuit of lifelong learning. When in linear form, Nautilus can be utilized as a room divider. When closed, Nautilus's circular form becomes an adapted reading space."
![[EXCLUSIEF] Flashman DJ Mix](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3233533_lg.jpg)
Na het mailtje van twee weken terug waardoor ik over Flashman blogde, heb ik contact gehouden met Marine, die de PR voor Flashman doet. Ze kwam niet veel later met het bericht dat ze een exclusieve DJ Mix (gemaakt door Fred Deakin) voor me had, en of ik geïnteresseerd was. Natuurlijk was ik dat! Hij heeft een selectie nummers die varieert van Funk tot Reggae tot Jazz tot New Wave aan elkaar gemixt. En hoe! De mix is gevarieerd, bijzonder en gooit je alle kanten op. Soms swingt het en soms is het gewoon lekkere chill-muziek. [...]
Artist: Emmanuel Title: Coffee Shop Label: 100% Pure Cat nr.: PURE065 Genre: Tech-House, Groove Quality: 320 kbps Source: WEB Rls date: 02-02-2011 Webstore: beatport.com Tracks: 1. Coffee Shop 8:13 2. Nautilus 8:05 3. Off The Hinges 9:13

You name the hip-hop act, they sampled it; Nautilus by Bob James is probably the most plundered track in the history of sampling, rearing it's head from Public Enemy to Slick Rick and from Wu-Tang to many a downtempo act like Kruder & Dorfmeister and DJ Food. So if your MPC has grown weary of pilfering James' original, here's some new beat fodder. As always I'm going to play favorites, The Simonsound make a return to VG with a quirky, Arp/Moog influenced rendition and we got two [...]
You remember me describing Blackest Rainbow as "increasingly essential" the other week, don't you? Of course you do; you were a little sceptical, thinking you would probably do a little research in your own time rather than taking me at face value, but then what with one thing and then the other, you just [...]
I was really excited to see 8 bit shoegazers The Depreciation Guild tonight when they play with super-hyped, big-thing-for-next-2-months The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart at The Middle East tonight. But you know what? I am too goddamn tired to go to that show. 2 shitty nights sleep, waking up early, and two long days of work make me have almost zero desire to go out tonight. So instead, I present to you the at least year old creepy ass video for The Depreciation Guild's "Nautilus" which can be found on both their free Nautilus [...]
