If news of the New Guantanamo Coachella party didn't get you fired up, here are a few other unavoidable groaners from the week. You had throne-watcher supreme Jay-Z's "Open Letter" over the contrived Cuba trip-White House kerfuffle hype, then your boy RiFF RAFF is slated to guest on the soap "One Life to Live" as a self-referential art slinger named Jamie Franko as a nod to the Spring Breakers actor Alien (whose character was modeled after RiFF by director Harmony Kor...

Girl this is our sorry for 2009. Finnish duo Shine 2009 pull from a disparate yet unique and engaging pool of influences for new synth pop/opera-sample track "Eurozone". Thanks Best Fit . Shine 2009 ( Facebook ) Rating 8.5
With a second album on the horizon, Helsinki's synth-pop duo Shine 2009 unveil a brilliantly glistening new single. Don't be fooled by the name, this track sounds anything but 4 years old; with it's industrial chimes, operatic vocal sample and disco-inspired bass-line, 'Eurozone' is an inspired coming-together of sounds. "I know you love money" stands out, as the economically-fueled lyrics smoothly ring out over the top of a careful mixture of the aforementioned elements. The closing stages introduce a seemingly unlikely Summery electric guitar progression, adding [...]
Finnish duo Shine 2009 return with their first new material since their 2001 debut album Realism . On this new single Sami Suova and Mikko Pykäri come off as nonchalant as ever, taking a social stance on money and the financial challenges currently gripping Europe. Musically, "Eurozone" pulls from genres as wide as funk, breakbeat and classic house, a surprising combination that would be perfectly at home in a dark 1990s discotheque. The song is taken off Shine 20092s sophomore album, to be released this fall on Cascine. For more info, [...]
Shine 2009 est un groupe d'électro pop composé de Sami Suova et Mikko Pykäri que j'avais découvert par hasard il y a 2 ans avec la sortie de leur premier et excellent album Realism . C'est donc avec joie que j'apprend qu'ils sont de retour en 2013 avec un second album, Our Nation, qui devrait voir le jour en automne via Cascine . Pour célébrer ça, ils dévoilent un premier extrait avec le très poppy Eurozone , un track qui risque de plaire à un grand nombre d'entre vous si vous êtes fans du genre. Comment [...]

Spring is here, folks.
Let's take a trip to Helsinki, Finland and find out what's coming from this "social paradise". Sami Suova and Mikko Pykäri make up the eletro-pop duo Shine 2009 , who have already in their baggage the album "Realism" from 2011. And with the following "Our Nation" to be released later this year they present us the first single from this work. "Eurozone" follows in the same direction as previous their works, it's a collection of sounds that work well together making it a dreamy pop song. It's another beautiful addition to the catalogue of the record label [...]

Shine 2009 son unos finlandeses que desde hace un buen tiempo han estado haciendo un sutil ruido dentro del catalogo de Cascine, y este año estarán regresando con un segundo material de larga duración titulado "Our Nation" a través del mismo. Pero antes, estos chicos han querido compartir un nuevo sencillo de nombre "Eurozone", para el que se han animado a proyectar un par de hologramas operísticos dentro de la estructura de la canción, para con ello dejar en claro que sus delicadas y envolventes melodías no están nada peleadas con los tonos orquestales, e incluso con este par de [...]

We can't believe it's already been two years since the wonderful Cascine started up. Since 2010, we've featured nearly all of the bands that have joined their roster and are glad to hear they're releasing a compilation of all of those acts. Included on Cascine Standouts: 2010 - 2012 are tracks from World Tour, Selebrities, [...]
Shine 2009 is an anomaly in pop music. Their upbeat and catchy 90s-esque pop creations are among some of the best tracks in my regular rotation. Hailing from Helsinki Finland, Sami Souva and Mikko Pykäri are the directors of these pop masterpieces who have even caught the attention of a certain pop icon... But nevermind that. Where do they find their inspiration? What is the best place to find them on a Saturday night, with who and for what? While I may only be able to publish some of Souva's answers, the ones I am able to [...]
