Ahora sí que sí. Vivimos los últimos días del 2009, lo que significa una sola cosa: ¡Listas! Hemos estado durante los últimos días con el Mono cabecéandonos para encontrar lo que más nos gustó de este año, para ponerlo en tres listas distintas. Fieles a NNM , la primera será de los 10 mejores remixes del año; la segunda, las 10 mejores canciones; y la tercera, nuestros 20 discos favoritos del 2009. Fue fundamental establecer un criterio común: la idea fue elegir música que siguiera la línea editorial de lo que mostramos comúnmente en nuestro blog, sin dejar de [...]

As if my love for Breakbot and Pacific! isn't already extremely apparent, someone was kind enough to throw me another exceptional remix Breakbot did for Pacific! . I wasn't too into the original Pacific! jam, but Breakbot was able to take all the best parts of the original and drown them in his signature sounds. This will definitely be played non-stop during my eight hours of flights to the Best Coast. [...]
From the makers of Band of Brothers comes The Pacific , an HBO mini-series. It's set to air in March.

If there is any lesson I've taken away from my top remixes of '09, it's that someone on the internet will always be better at mixing your music. This was a dangerous year in terms of producers finding credibility through remixing, and I wonder where things will be by this time next year. Hope you enjoy these remixes as much as I have. 10. Nosaj Thing [Flying Lotus - Camel] Flying Lotus holds a very special place in my heart. This remix is perfect. Made even more perfect [...]

Deux mois après son premier 73, Mirrors vient juste d'en publier un deuxième. Voilà... FIN _ _ _ _ En fait, nan. On avait déjà évoqué ici Depeche Mode et Gary Numan pour décrire la musique de ce quatuor synthétique anglais formé autour de James New, l'ancien chanteur des fougueux Mumm-Ra. L'influence electro-pop 80's est aujourd'hui toujours assez évidente. Le groupe vient d'ailleurs de publier un nouveau titre, réussi, Somewhere [...]

After years of searching for compressed synths weaved under a tight beat, it has been interesting to see Ed Banger become the standard for popular electronic/house music. I helped organize an electronic music festival in Belgium a few years ago, and although the Ed acts that played were solid and entertaining, many people were wondering how long the label would actually last. Breakbot seems to be exactly what they needed. While other acts such as Daft Punk [...]
Be honest, how often do you bathe yourself? Not shower, but actually take a bath? Hardly ever, I presume. A few people might insist that they regularly have baths, as they are so relaxing and so great. Granted, they are relaxing (ish). And great (boring). But sure you do. Sure. (Now that I think of it, [...]

After a brief hiatus with plenty of R&R they're back and ready to displace your dentals once again. So head on over and murder some bandwidth! So, what has been going on in MANIA land lately? We've been working on some projects with a few fantastic local tastemakers to put out events such as the amazing success that was BLOG VOLTRON: [...]

Will someone please explain to me the phenomenon that is time while at work? Doesn't it feel like right before you get to work flying and you can't move fast enough to keep up but the second you sit down it's like you go into some alternate world and it takes an hour for 5 minutes to pass. Work sucks huh? Well, I've got a little something to help you day dream more than you already do... The Twelves released a new 60 minute mixtape two days ago and I think my friend Ben's facebook message describes it [...]

The Twelfth Hour is the brand new mixtape from The Twelves , think of it as being the long awaited sequel to 'Episode II'. It's nearly an hour long and features new Twelves remixes on; Radiohead, Black Kids, Pacific!, Terry Poison & Fever Ray. Utterly brilliant, unique and unmistakably Twelves, you have to ask why it's such a pain in the arse to catch them doing this live?! It was premiered on Radio 1's ' Rob Da Bank ' show last night, if you want to hear the interview Rob had with Luciano then head on [...]

I experienced some computer problems when my Windows OS crashed a while back. I learned that using a computer without an operating system is quite inconvenient, so I was very happy when my personal IT support resurrected it from the dead. Now I can get back to my usual mp3-blogging by the pool. So, to keep the computer gods happy, I'll post some tracks from French electro artist Popular Computer . These ones are also for Upkar and Anders. Popular Computer - Girls Pacific! - Sunset Blvd [...]

Mellan turnéer i Argentina och Australien kommer Sarah Assbring, mer känd som El Perro Del Mar, att hjälpa pacific! med Narcissus under hösten. Vad Sarah kommer att göra är att sjunga de kvinnliga rollerna i berättelsen. - Jag känner mig otroligt hedrad över att bli erbjuden att få vara med om ett så speciellt projekt som detta faktiskt är. En känsla av gudomlighet ligger över hela föreställningen och jag längtar så efter att dela detta med pacific! och dansarna, säger Assbring i ett pressmeddelande. Detta kan nog få flera att bli intresserade av pacific!:s pop-balett. För [...]

I höst har Pacific! bestämt sig för att bjuda klubbpubliken på vad de kallar för en helt ny upplevelse. Tillsammans med Olof Persson och dansarna Rebecca Evanne och Lina Räftegård kommer bandet och dansarna framföra den tidlösa historien om nymfen Echo och hennes älskade Narcissus. – Det här handlar oerhört mycket om aktuella frågeställningar. Det är en gammal myt men den är samtidigt helt tidlös. Den speglar perfekt den tid vi lever i och de utmaningar unga människor står inför, säger Daniel Högberg, den ena halvan av duon i ett pressmeddelande. Låter det intressant? Ja, lite [...]

Unicorns, check... Space, check... Unicorns in space, check... And that my friends is how you get my attention. "Imagine a one man space odyssey to discover new worlds, new beats, new sounds... Cruising through galaxies of retro synths spinning out huge solos, arpeggios running wild through the space prairies and beats the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. COF is piloting a solo space pod to travel back to the 80s on Planet Earth. But in his own private galaxy it's already year 2112.." Ricco Vitali, AKA Cavaliers of Fun is an [...]

Last month I took a brief journey back to the homeland and visited Crimson of Frozen Pharaoh at his place in Southern MN. The drinks were rough, the women were blonde, and the night ended with us throwing songs at each other. After slinging recent releases from Bibio and Passion Pit, I was totally blown away when he blasted shit that sounded like the Swedish lovechild of Daft Punk and The Beach Boys. pacific! hail from Gothenburg. They've been remixed by Breakbot and Avalon, and are a large part of why I'll be mixing a furious [...]
