Such is the appetite for real radiophonic inspired recordings that recent reissues have become an industry in themselves, with the now rightly celebrated and previously underrated greats of British electronic experimentation, like Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram and John Baker, the subject of lavish and brilliantly documented packages. We're now celebrating an era of British electronic innovation that was both as mainstream as Doctor Who and as underground as anything else in the world in its field. These rediscovered artists have in turn inspired a new generation of new electronic innovators mixing up a skewed [...]
In approaching this article, charged as I was with drawing attention to some of the more 'out there' fringes of experimental electronica, I was very aware of wanting to find a context for the seemingly endless indie releases available to an insatiable army of fans of the offbeat, the leftfield, the oddball and the generally unclassifiable. Among those with an appetite for the challenging, the freakish, the obscure, the genuinely groundbreaking and, in the truest sense, the 'outsider', there is more opportunity than ever to download, blog, discuss and dissect ever growing ranks of undiscovered gems and lost classics. When [...]
Laura Viers' Tumble Bee was the latest quality children's album from a respected artist, making her part of great lineage of musicians who took time to think about the children. There's one key element to good children's music – it has to appeal to the parents too. When I sit down with my daughter I don't want to listen to some rehashed nursery rhyme with a soft focus beat, or worse, the Gummy Bear Song – the junk food [...]
They make the music, you provide the cash – that's the deal for bands using crowd-funding sites. But, other than the gift of music, what are bands willing to give in return for your money? What would it take to persuade you to help fund the creation of a band's album? Would the promise of a CD perhaps open your wallet? Maybe some memorabilia might do the trick? Or do you crave more than that? You'll stop just short of wanting their soul, but a signed photo [...]

Tenemos el placer de recopilar, y el gusto de compartir, este pequeño fragmento de historia reciente que abarca de 1979 a 1983. Periodo clave en el devenir de la música electrónica, que poco a poco es incorporada a patrones funk, reggae, rock y pop desde distintas ciudades de norteamérica y europa. Los géneros han muerto hoy pero la música sigue siendo libre. AUTOMAT -Droid (1978) BENTON BAPTIST - Looking good (1982) [...]
I closed out with this one at the epic BeatElectric Dance Show and someone asked me to ID the tune from some video footage of the night online, so I thought I may as well post it up. I didn't choose a picture of a baby listening to music because the song is titles Move For Me Baby, thats just an unfortunate coincidence, no doubt helping speed along Google's internal proceedings to have us shut down. I wish I could even claim to be the copyright holder of the image, and that this was infact a picture of me at [...]
Today brings Fedde Le Grand, a DJ and producer from Holland who has been doing his thing for almost a decade, has received endless amounts of praise for DJing and his production work, has opened dance clubs and hit the charts hard. He's been a leader in the Dutch house scene, has gotten hat tips from the D12 crew for his anthem about Detroit, curated an essential mix for the BBC--and he's only released one solo record (last year's Output). In the run-up before the Electric Zoo Festival, FLG filled out our questionnaire and talked of his beginnings as a [...]

Featuring UK superstar trance DJs Above & Beyond and the Dutch phenom Fedde Le Grand, the Halloween bash at the Roseland Ballroom was one to...wait for it... die for. In celebration of the release of Above & Beyond's latest compilation Anjunabeats Vol. 7 and Fedde Le Grand's debut artist album Output, the event highlighted some world's premier trance and progressive house, and if ever there were hollows amuck in closets or haunted houses needing much relief, Fedde Le Grande and Above & Beyond certainly know how to cure it. Throw in a little bit [...]

Circlesquare's latest release is slow, dark, heavy and very, very good. This mix by Juan MacLean is the pick of the bunch though. Circlesquare - Hey You Guys ( Juan MacLean Remix) Buy the 12" here . Juan MacLean plays White Heat on Tuesday.
Amiably intricate, treble-y clusters rattle unassumingly into unexpected splash & slash - Fridge > Astrozero (from Early Output 1996-1998 , Temporary Residence ) Bonus carnival, from Reichian loveliness to scratchy angularity: Cutup Piano & Xylophone (from Happiness , Temporary Residence); Kinoshita (from [...]
