Sampling Charleston and Jazz, conjuring up new breakbeat and pop into a creation of interesting music is no easy task, but PAROV STELAR (aka Marcus Füreder) seems to have a sensibility about what it should sound like. It's reasons like this, the reconstruction of familiar songs and sounds that partly formed the basis of this blog. This is far from jazz house however. Parov Stelar reconstructs infectuous party jams out of classy horn and piano samples that take you for a bit of a trip. You're not sure [...]
jeg husker med glæde tilbage midt i maj måned, hvor jeg skrev om Parov Stelar og MSTRKRFT . jeg vil ikke ligge skjul på min umiddelbare skuffelse over monster , men hey - selv blogrockers kan tage fejl. monster har vist sig at være et hyggeligt bekendtskab, lidt ligesom en gammel tante der lugter. med sine marcherende trommer, skrålende strygerer og bulrende bass er den uimodståelig. til jer, som endnu ikke har hørt om østrigske marcus füreder, anbefaler jeg at læse min indtroduktion her , fra [...]

Photo: Eames at 100: Evolving the legacy . A single sneeze propels 100,000 droplets into the air at around 90 mph, landing on door knobs, ATM keypads, elevator buttons, escalator railings, and grocery cart handles. In a subway station at rush hour, according to British researchers, as many as 10 percent of all commuters can come in contact with the spray and residue from just one sneeze (or sternutation). That means as many as 150 commuters can be sickened by one uncovered achoo. - Huffington Post: Swine Flu Survival . [...]

Here are a couple of tracks from other blogs, which I have been really enjoying recently. Sex Machine / ReSeT! - A funky mix of hip-hop and house, using a classic track, with some delightful synth lines. Monster / Parov Stelar - According to Last.fm, Parov Stelar is nu-jazz, downtempo, electronic, lounge and jazz. It's odd, but really fun. The Graveyard Shift / Friendship - Take a beautiful riff, which wouldn't be out of place in a slow Vampire Weekend track, throw in some math [...]

I was pretty damn pleased to find an email in our mailbox the other day with Parov Stelar in the title. It has been so long since I've heard anything from this Austrian producer, I almost forgot that he was still making music. Not only is he making music, but he's streamlined himself towards the "electro movement." If you know anything about Parov's earlier stuff he combines older 30s style jazz vocals accompanied (always) by horns and a more typical house beat. He's seem to moved away from the house-house side and more to the electro-house side for [...]

Banging synths and dirty electro basslines meet jazz pianos and heavy brass power. Just received this promo by Austrian artist Parov Stelar , here's one of the three tracks: Parov Stelar - Monster

Parov Stelar er klar med hans nye 3-tracks EP, Monster . I forhold til hans tidligere EP udgivelse, Libella Swing , er den noget mere club orienteret, og virker som en krydsning mellem Digitalism , Moby og Portishead . Ikke hans bedste til dato, men måske bygger den på en ved flere gennemlytninger. Download MSTRKRFT er klar med udgivelsen af Fist Of God , og flere steder [...]

'Monster' EP from Parov Stelar When it comes to funky jazz influenced house we at voulesrandom inevitably think of Etage Noir 's Austrian house master Parov Stelar . The 'Monster' EP is textbook Parov with edits of crafty horns and old time jazz utilizing female jazz vocals to accent the perfect deep house bass. Parov is engaged in a fairly extensive tour right now so be sure to check for your city because he isn't just making the L.A., Paris, London stops of the larger over hyped mainstream electro he [...]

God eftermiddag og "Yes, du har gættet rigtigt". Dette post handler om de navne, som jeg gerne ser til Roskilde Festival 2009 . Ehm. Så at sige har de jo allerede åbnet op for posen....og lad mig udtrykke det på den måde, at jeg kan pege på mangt og meget man kunne købe for samme hyre, som Coldplay forventer at få for at stå og skrå..synge på episke Orange Scene. I dag erklærede RF så, at gode, gamle amerikanske Slipknot også tilbringer en del af deres sommer i regn, mudder, blandt [...]

God eftermiddag og "Yes, du har gættet rigtigt". Dette post handler om de navne, som jeg gerne ser til Roskilde Festival 2009 . Ehm.

My guilty pleasure this week is Klezmer music. Remixed. Heck, let's just call it electro-klezmer, and hope we don't go to hell for the sacrilege. I would explain my love of all things Jewish big-band (possibly inspired by an afternoon spent watching fiddler on the roof in school)...but suffice to say that whatever wholesome goodness klezmer can bring, it's awesomeness runneth over when given a good old baseline. Witness the 1930s Yiddish song Bei Mir Bist Du Schon, performed by Waldeck (look out for the evening-gowned women playing xylophone, was there ever a simpler [...]

It's the end of the year! Can you believe it? I swear each year goes by faster and faster. The end of the year is a time consolidating the past memories and preparing yourself for new ones. The year end activity is of course, making new year's resolutions...new ones, improving on old ones, or ditching the whole process in generaaaal. I discovered a pretty cool site for you goal-oriented folks called 43 Things where you share your goals with other people, your progress, and at the same time, you can cheer each other on! The most [...]

Ryan(StopMe): As an update on a previous TEN4SE7EN , Dinosaur Pile-Up's fearsome 'My Rock 'n' Roll' is about to be released on 73 (I uploaded a demo in September). You can pre-order a copy from Rough Trade. Meanwhile, here's another ten new tunes for you to peruse (And merry Christmas, by the way): First up is a track from Amazing Baby's free-to-download 'Infinite Fucking Cross' EP. 'Supreme Being' is a lethargically wasted epic bringing to mind Spiritualized moving in a new Psychedelic Prog direction. [...]

Velkommen til endnu en gang Friday's BRP Mix. I dag tager vi hul på kapitel 07, og jeg håber selvfølgelig, at I synes, at den gør sig egnet som musik til jeres fest her de kommende par dage. Hvis ikke, så kan du altid skrive mig en kæk kommentar, enten pr mail eller en blogkommentar , hvor du med dine egne ord foreslår mig, hvad jeg kunne gøre bedre! Du kan også vælge at benytte det ny-installeret raiting -system til at udtrykke din mening. Og hvis du alligevel er herinde og lytter til mixet, [...]
Over uplifting dansmuziek gesproken: bijna een jaar na het verschijnen van "Shine" komt Parov Stelar met de vrolijke EP "The Flame of Fame" met daarop 4 nummers geheel volgens zijn vertrouwde recept. Dat betekent dus fijne electro-house met Charleston, swing dance en piano-samples. Alle vier de tracks van deze EP zijn zowel op zijn MySpace als op de site van Etage Noir Recordings te streamen. Bovendien is de video van het nummer "Matilda" hieronder te vinden. En er is nog meer goed nieuws rond deze Oostenrijker te vermelden, [...]
