MeanRed's brainchild Dark Disco took to the basement events space of the Hudson Hotel, dubbed Good Units, on Saturday night for an affair featuring DJ sets from Jakwob, Ikonika, Tittsworth, Red Foxx, FaltyDL and Blaqstarr, the night was shaped to be a huge crusher. And thanks to a wavey set from Red Foxx, booty in [...]

Under the moniker Sistol , Sasu Ripatti just released his most club-friendly album yet, On The Bright Side fuses the thump of 4/4 tech-house with the sound palette of the contemporary post-dubstep movement. A welcome return for his Sistol moniker, the new album has been getting great reviews and his works are being reinterpreted by some of today's finest young producers. This November, Halo Cyan will release two 12-inches of singles from the OTBS album and remixes called On The Brighter Side . On The Brighter Side Vol. 1 (out [...]
If you're reading this, chances are you're in New York this weekend.

So, really, the opportunity to sit in front of your computer and listen to a mix of the week's best new tracks takes on a new meaning this particular meaning. No longer must you feel left out... or that you have to your apartment for another toxic evening of CMJ. Please enjoy. NEW Singles: [...]

Scuba's decided to give away a 160kbps of his contribution - in my opinion, the pick - of Sistol's 'Brighter Side Remixes Vol 2'. Never one to stick firmly to a dubstep template (or any, for that matter), this time round the Hotflush boss marries house and dubstep. Organic tribal knocks and a hazy synth lead in to a punchy snap of snares punctuated by a sparse arrangement of fractured vocal snippets. The soothing vinyl crackling is the cherry on top. Essential: Sistol - On The Brighter Side [...]
The first few bands included in this week's Best New Releases include fairly unknown bands; and therein is our point. The Pass are a self-described psychedelic/new wave pop band from Louisville, Kentucky. Earlier this year they crossed our radar when they sent us their first single, "Cross Walk Stereo." The song made into our Top [...] Related posts:Random Order Playlist, Vol. I: A Classic Education, Short Circuit, Metal on Metal, Mommyheads, Dark Dark Dark, Vinegar Socks Recent Releases That Almost Got Away: The Pass, Secret Cities, City Light, Scanners, Sambassadeur, David Vandervelde & More In Dee Mail Special [...]

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday, which around here means new music. There are singles, remixes, and covers from your favorite bands, as well as mp3s from some up and comers you just might want to check out. Plus, thanks to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Friday promotion, we have sweet new rhymes to look forward to from now until Christmas. And this week is extra special since it marks the end of our three year anniversary extravaganza. So we figured we might as well go out with a bang, cramming in as much music into this piece as we could possibly [...]

Sasu Ripatti is a familiar name in the dance music world although the monikers he's appeared under have changed frequently. Recording variably as Vladislav Delay, Luomo, Uusitalo, and Sistol his back catalog similarly ranges from house to techno and ambient to jazz, all strung together by his attention to the tiniest of sonic details. In October, Halo Cyan will reissue his long out of print Sistol album, freshly remastered and paired with a disc of remixes, including this "refunk" care of New York City's FaltyDL. Finding his voice in mutated 2-step and garage templates, FaltyDL twists the original's [...]
Onder deze noemers is de Finse producer wonend in Berlijn bekend, die ik even onder de aandacht wil brengen. Vladislav Delay (Sasu Ripatti) heeft geëxperimenteerd met ambient, broken beat, glitch en daarnaast ook grooves en house. Dat laatste past hij voornamelijk toe in sideprojects en remixes, want zijn passie is het experimenteren met geluiden en ritmes om uiteindelijk muziek te maken die nog nooit eerder is gehoord. Dit jaar is het album Tuuma (betekenis: 'inch') uitgekomen op het label Leaf. De essentiële basis van dit album vormen de door Ripatti zelf ingespeelde percussiestukken, waarover de Argentijnse Lucio Capece vervolgens [...]
