Hey Champ , banda responsável por uma das música mais lindas de 2009, a "Cold Dust Girl", está de volta com um EP adorável. Foi na verdade uma surpresa para mim, que estava navegando e achei sobre o lançamento. A banda, apesar de seu ótimo trabalho, não alcançou um público muito relevante nos últimos anos, sendo que seus clássicos ainda são basicamente desconhecidos. O EP Anything At All , lançado mês passado, traz três inéditas e um ótimo remix de "Cold Dust Girl", feito pelo Gemini Club . O single de lançamento, "Silver City", é meu [...]
Dance rockers Hey Champ have released a new music video for its single "Silver City," from their Anything at All EP. And boy is it a love letter to Chicago. In fact, it's a synth love letter. And we all know those are the best kind of love letters to receive. The video was shot in and around the Wicker Park area along North Milwaukee Avenue and Ukrainian Village, including stops at Connect and KSTARKE records. Eagle-eye viewers will notice the outdoor performance shots happen across the street from the Division Blue line around that crazy [...]
From the Chicago trio who brought you Cold Dust Girl last year, let me introduce you to Hey Champ 's Anything At All EP. The EP, released on Turnout in May, includes the title track Anything at All ( free download ), Stereode, a Gemini Club Remix of Cold Dust Girl, and my personal favourite, Silver City. The group teamed up with producer Eliot James on the EP (the man behind the sounds of Two Door Cinema Club and Bloc Party) and you can definitely hear his influence in [...]
Chicago's Hey Champ are back with a brand new video for their infectious electropop ode to their hometown, "Silver City". Directed by Israel Fernandez and CMPtv. "Silver City" was released in late 2010 on the band's latest EP, "Anything At All".
Here at the Hive, we heart mail. Mailbag is a recurring feature in which we hip you to artists seeking play via our email inbox. The way I arrived upon the jams of Oriole Post is a little unconventional, at least when it comes to the normal premise of Mailbag. This was not sent to me by a band, not by a label. Instead, this was sent along by a friend in Kansas City, a friend from college. We don't necessarily like the same kind of music [...]
"Matrimony rock." Hmmm. As a music critic, I'm down with all sorts of genre hybridizing (i.e. chamber-pop, glam-pop, jazz-rock, etc.). It's part of our job to make up those descriptors to give music some sort of mass understanding, so I've seen a lot of bogus combinations, but the first time I came across the term "matrimony rock" was on the Long Tangles' Myspace page. It seems to me that the word "matrimony" would contain certain connotations that act against the word "rock", thus neutralizing the whole ordeal. The same way your best friend becomes a kitschy version of [...]

Somewhere between the melancholic pop sensibilities of The Cure and the lush soundscapes of The Field you can find 2020Soundsystem playing the first single from their second album, Falling. The slow burning number, "Satellite," floats in an atmospheric swirl of mystery and longing propelled by the song's steady rhythm section and somber vocal track. - XLR8R When they nail it, they are spot on: "Satellite" builds like a great Beat Pharmacy track, and "Way of Life" closes the record on a high note-simple, clean, excellent bass build, solid beat, dependable [...]
Photo courtesy of Feral Percy on Flickr Silver City - Shiver (Ewan Pearson's Bari Girl Remix) Getting into the overall umbrella of dance music when you don't have the slightest clue where to start and nobody to guide you along the way is difficult enough. In the context of the digital age, it's even worse trying to navigate through a lot of faux music journalism. Sometimes it's just easier to go to the source. In the earliest incarnations of Ewan Pearson's [...]
Alerte stah au Conseil de Sécurité, la politique étrangère de Quentin Dupieux commence à inquiéter les mecs les plus réticents aux pas de danse dans les bureaux de l'ONU, surtout depuis que le rapport sur les armes de destruction massive fait état d'un dancebanger hyperlibéral avec basses méticuleuses et trompettes collet montées mettant pourtant d'accord toute la communauté internationale.

By some chance, I've ended up getting three remix albums within the last month. I thought this called for a big recap of a bunch of old remix albums. Most remix albums come in one of two forms. Most common are remixed versions of entire albums, featuring most or all of the original record's tracks in remixed form. Also standard are remix compilations, spanning certain lengths of an artist's career like alternative forms of greatest hits collections. Less common are mutliple artist compilations featuring the remix work of a specific producer, but these are often the most rewarding. I picked [...]
Other than Ben Watt, this is the man Tracey Thorn spends a lot of time with. In the studio that is. Ewan Pearson, aka amongst other pseudonyms, Dirtbox, produced Tracey's Out of the Woods album and has just been recording new stuff with her. He's one of those musicians with lots of slashes in his job title: musician/remixer/DJ/producer. I've dipped in and out of his music over the years, sometimes without knowing it was the same person behind it. But La Thorn has helped tie up all those loose ends. For a start, I didn't realise [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of days, everyone. I was away at the Parklife festival on the weekend, and, well, the less said about that douche-filled-day the better. In that time, this little blog was added to the Hype Machine , and our ratings, err, our hits have spiked. Fucking spiked. Which has meant that server space has been rapidly depleted. And I'm still recovering. So, sorry kids. Old links are all dead, but most will be back up soon. I swear. In the meantime, it's time for a new Remix [...]
As long as I'm going to go out on a limb and take a position on hot button issues (as in last night's post on global warming ) why not go for broke? When street protests against immigration legislation were staged back in March, I wrote about it in this post entitled Viva La Raza . I don't do much here in the way of current events, but this one really struck me and clearly had cultural elements. If you check the comments section , you'll see that I [...]
