![Modeselektor – Monkeytown [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3729082_lg.jpg)
I've always thought of Modeselektor as a dance group first and foremost; such is the curse of being danceable, it's easy to get sorted into that particular category. But just because you're danceable doesn't mean you can't expand beyond being pure dance music and cross over into intelligent listening territory. This is something that Modeselektor is good at and continues to be good at on their third LP, Monkeytown , out between September 27 and October 4 depending on location on Monkeytown Records. If the Modeselektor name doesn't ring a bell with you or lend the album [...]

This week's Flashback Friday comes from the house duo Bag Raiders , who are from Sydney , New South Wales , Australia , and consists of DJs Chris Stracey and Jack Glass. Their song "Shooting Stars", released as a single in 2009 and the single that they are most known for which also happens to be one of my all time favorites. The remix from Berlin Producer/DJ Siriusmo brings the song to another level, adding a different sound that is just as good as [...]

Asche über mein Haupt: Dieses grandiose Album lag schon knapp 1 1/2 Wochen bei mir auf dem Schreibtisch, aber mir fehlte die Zeit darüber zu schreiben. Dies hole ich nun nach, auch wenn viele von euch Ama...

La nouvelle recrue de Monkeytown Rec ne chôme pas vraiment on dirait, entre son premier EP six titres ravageur qui a marqué les esprits il a continué sur un split EP avec Siriusmo s'il vous plait pour ensuite arriver à Alligator Snaps . Cinq titres une fois de plus bien déstructuré à la sauce eLan comme on a pu l'aimer précédemment. Le morceau original Alligator Snaps est une merveille, vous vous passez ce titre après du Hudson Mohawke et vous terminé sur Jadore pour passer [...]

Patrick and Augustus of Bright & Shiny made the trek out to Los Angeles at the beginning of this august to attend the HARD summer music festival in LA, an event we were equally drawn to for its impressively diverse lineup and for the promise of legendary after parties. We are going to take you through a chronological journey of our festival goings. The first act we made it in in time to see

Ein Remix-Projekt mit Hintergedanken. Musikalisch angesiedelt zwischen deepen Houseklängen, straighten Techhousetunes und mit gefühlvollen Vocals veredelt, lässt Edward mit diesem Remix unsere Herzen höher schlagen. Die einzigartige Liebe zur Musik, kombiniert mit einem Rausch von Inspiration war der Auslöser für diesen Track. Da Edward Ean dieses berauschende Gefühl mit so möglichst vielen Menschen teilen möchte, stellt er den Song for free zum Download zur Verfügung. Hört es, fühlt es und liebt es!

This has been a good year for Dipped in Dollars. From getting a mention on The Guardian, previewing Jai Paul 's album in XL's New York office, interviewing artists like Gilles Peterson , Jensen Sportag and Onra to premiering exclusive mixes by Solar Bears , Teams , and Streets Of Beige , our second year has been filled with lots of [...]

Jan Driver & Siriusmo - Let's Do It Together

The second annual HARD Summer is going down this weekend in Downtown LA. Looking at the set times I was not too happy to see all of the overlap associated with a multi-stage event but, it is to be expected I suppose. I am really looking forward to Siriusmo's debut US performance. My other must see's for the event include Dillon Francis, Gesaffelstein, and of course Duck Sauce. Everyone planning to attend be safe and have a great time! MP3: Duck Sauce - Big Bad Wolf (Radio Rip) [...]

Ja nüüd midagi täiesti teistsugust..aitab küll siin üksi jauramisest, kutsume sõbrad appi ja alustame külalispostitustega. Loodetavasti ei jää esimene viimaseks. Alustame kahe looga, mille on välja valinud elektro-imelaps Barthol Lo Mejor . And now for something completely different..no more solo, let's get some friends to help and kick off the guest posts. Hopefully the first won't be the last. Let's start with two tracks selected by the electro-prodigy Barthol Lo Mejor : [...]
We've passed the halfway mark of the year so what better time to take stock of the best albums so far this year. A lot will change by the year's end with albums from Modeselektor and Toddla T yet to be released and I have yet to listen to SebastiAn, The Horrors and Digitalism properly. [...]

To be fair, the distinct and indiscreet sounds of Siriusmo aren't easy for everyone to palate - but not even the techno skeptics can ignore the ridiculous talent of the man. In 2011 it's high time for one of our favoured German producers, although we're still reeling from his February released album Mosaik , Moritz has returned to drown us in 21 synthey delights that together make Pearls & Embarrassments (vol. 1) . Hitting shelves over a week ago (took me that long to get my head around it), Siriusmo's third album release is [...]
