Eclectro is dol op local heroes, zeker als ze hun heldenstatus dik verdienen. Enter Yuri "Cinnaman" Boselie . De vriendelijke Brabander breekt de afgelopen jaren structureel dansvloeren af in Amsterdam en wijde omstreken. Was het bij Viral Radio vooral instrumentale hiphop en dubstep wat de klok sloeg, anno 2011 laat Yung Cinna zich niet meer vangen in hokjes. Op zijn COLORS- feestje in Trouw Amsterdam komt onder de noemer UK Bass op hoog tempo een bonte stoet aan dansbaar materiaal langsgetrokken. En niet zonder succes: Yuri's ster is [...]

Generically, Jack White exists in a universe with a population of one. Sure, he's a throwback, channeling Robert Plant and a whole generation of axe-slashers, but in today's cultural landscape, what really sets White apart from the rest is his bombast. More than just a blues influenced garage rocker, Jack White is a rock persona in the retro sense-almost so ungrounded in this world that he feels like a fictitious character. "Love Interruption" is so cool and so daring that it could only come from a personality like White. The mix is comprised of nothing but keyboard, guitar and, most [...]

Got sent this great indie pop track "Modern Day Love Song" by Cleveland solo artist Proof I Exist off his debut album 'Suburban Sci-Fi' . Super cheery track with a surf rock feel that totally got me in a good mood. Maybe it'll do the same for you? Check out the track below if ya like what you hear the whole album is available as a free download via his bandcamp . Sounds like a deal to me. [...]

Got the promo for the new Anna Lunoe / Diamond Lights collab in my mail the other day. Super good email! Out on Yes Yes, home to Toni Toni Lee, this record packs some sizza punch. Not to mention the stellar remixes, my favorite from house LORD Solo and a hectic bang0r from T&B's Willy Joy. Good package! Diamond Lights & Anna Lunoe on the up 'n' up. Anna Lunoe & Diamond Lights - Stronger (Club Mix) Anna Lunoe & [...]

"Here comes the sun" es una de mis canciones favoritas, de esas que conmueven y que hacen que un momento se transforme en una experiencia. Supongo que no podía ser de otra manera... No por nada está el gran George Harrison detrás de su composición. Como sea, a poco más de una década de su muerte, George Harrison vuelve a renovar esta bella canción. Se trata de un solo de guitarra de George, que había permanecido perdido en los archivos de Abbey Road, donde fue grabado el disco que lleva el [...]

Good mates of mine, 3hundreds, have just released their first EP on Solo's Congaloid records. It seemed like it took an eternity to get released, but finally it's here. 'Back in Love' is a huge track, worth the wait. 3hundreds - Back In Love E.P. ...
A pretty hilarious new music video for a track on the new Eleanor Friedberger album, Last Summer . It's the first time I think I've seen a music video poke fun at Chick tracts , which people usually cast of as silly; however, it's funny to see what Eleanor did with her live in this video actually did land her in hell. Read your tracts!
[New Single] Jack White - Love Interruption // If you're a Jack White fan, you've probably already listened to his solo album sneak peek 381928301829 times. You've probably already marked April 24th - the release date of Blunderbuss - in every calendar you own. You've probably already put your house on the market in anticipation of taking up residence at Third Man studios and proposing marriage…too drastic?

Well, it's finally happened: Jack White has given up on the facade of a band, and embraced his inner musical genius to release a solo record. Titled Blunderbuss , the album will be released on April 24th. The first single is entitled "Love Interrupted", and if it's any indication, this record is going to be exactly what we've been wanting from White for years. Tempered with woodwinds, and a Fender Rhodes, the track is a simple ballad in classic White style, with a gentleness that recalls the best moments of the [...]

Preview the Hold Steady frontman's forthcoming solo LP.

Filthy EP out today from Solo also known as Stefano Ritteri featuring tracks 'Flea Circus' and 'Cringe'. Incredible underground feel to both; layers of percussion illuminate the steady organic rhythm that producers strive for. 'Flea Circus' carries a pulsing synth amongst rolling drums, eventually leading a piano chord break and drop. 'Cringe' has a hypnotic beat accented with a person speaking to the listener, luring them into the transcendental composition. Both are real club-friendly records that I'd love to hear on some massive speakers. They're available now through Kling Klong Records . Solo - The [...]

Producer, co-founder of The Raconteurs and solo artist extraordinaire Brendan Benson has announced the formation of his own record label. Based in Nashville, Readymade will see its first release in the form of Young Hines' debut record, Give Me My Change on April 10th. They were the first of Benson's signings. This will be followed by Benson's next solo album, entitled What Kind of World on April 21st. It will be his fifth solo effort and his first since 20092s brilliant My Old, Familiar Friend . There is currently [...]

Simone Felice singing the sad? No way!! Here he goes on about stories of hardship and horror he finds in the mentioned rag. His Bright Eyes-esque wallowing is always a bit much but the swooshing production at the end of the track comes as a nice concluding divergence. At the end of the day, I could easily imagine this being on the OST for a Hollywood melodrama but never on my Droid. Simone Felice - New York Times by The Line Of Best Fit

The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn made a solo record this year while The Hold Steady in on their break. Titled Clear Heart Full Eyes , the 11 tracks come across a tad twangier than the full on testosterone-laden rock normally heard in The Hold Steady. Craig Finn - Honolulu Blues by Vagrant Records Finn is touring behind the record as well. Tickets go on sale this Friday (12/16). [...]

Contributed by Trevor Meyer Here is Jim James doing a wonderful rendition of Dylan's, "The Man in Me". Stunning harmonies, highly believable and relatable vocals, and a little something special for everyone. In other words, this is Jim James being Jim James. Jim James - Man in Me (Bob Dylan) Jim James ( Official ) Rating: 8.3

[Video stills courtesy of Ian Perlman and Oresti Tsonopoulos ] Mike Kinsella has been involved in many a highly-regarded project over the years - in particular, the Illinois native still does time in Joan of Arc with his brother Tim (our recent recording of them [ HERE ]), and before that, he and Tim were in Cap'n Jazz (our recent recording of them [ HERE ]). The man's discography is longer than many artists twice his age - and most of it is quite good. The latest Kinsella project to receive positive [...]
So, pretty much as soon as I saw this in my email, I knew it would all be beyond amazing. Tyson found a place in my heart after falling head over heels in lust with The Swiss remix of Out Of My Mind. The initial intent of this post was to showcase the best remixes [...]
