Artist: Take

I appreciate Grip Of The Gods’ boldness; such a name is a definite assertion of expectation. While their new EP, Take , is not exactly a divine grasp, it will grip and capture you nonetheless. Grip Of The Gods display a sure knack for variation, as their EP constantly shifts between more straightforward, distorted guitar-driven alternative rock, and a spacey, effects driven, Muse-esque space and alternative sound. What I should specify is, they pull these transitions off seamlessly, as otherwise this sound dichotomy could go very wrong. Perhaps the strongest feature of [...]

Words by Joe Hatt I like Bos Angeles , but I hated The Drums . I say hated because I have managed to eradicate them from my memory, so now when I hear someone say ‘ the drums ’ , to me that’s just what a drummer beats upon; which is a similar image to what hearing The Drums used to conjure. At first, Bos Angeles sounded very similar to the Drums. This has probably been said before, so apologies if it reads like I’m just rehashing others words as that is [...]

L’album devait être enregistré à Bamako. Ballaké Sissoko le fera au final dans une grande maison de la campagne charentaise, à quelques kilomètres d’Angoulême. Le maitre de la Kora est accompagné de son ami Vincent Segal, qui produira l’album, et de trois musiciens maliens spécialement venus du pays, les guitaristes Badian Diabaté et Moussa Diabaté, et le balafoniste Fassery Diabaté. Un cadre calme, rupestre, histoire d’être en paix, et prendre le temps de trouver une couleur nouvelle, à base de cordes principalement, tout en respectant les fondamentaux de la musique mandingue.

Chicago film collective Scenic along side photographers Tim Navis / Tim Holtermand and composer Deru set out to Iceland in October 2011 after a successful Kickstarter campaign in order to film a series of improvised shorts that would best capture the country's beautiful landscape and culture. The result is a documentary entitled Outliers Vol. 1 which premiers today and will be presented at Lincoln Hall in Chicago . The soundtrack is absolutely breathtaking. It features an all-star cast of world renown electronic artists who have combined their talents to create a collection [...]

Sweatson Klank Little Time To Fly + In Between One of LA’s finest underground producer’s, the artist formerly know as Take is back, and thanks to Shitgeto’s guest mix for BTS Radio , I’m all over it him like cougar moms at a white wine tasting. Two of Sweatson Klank’s newest bangers make an appearance on Shigeto’s mix, but his latest latest beatsturmental creation, a two step love song of a track that twirls around itself in utter bliss is something really special. “Little Time To Fly” is part of a [...]

If you've taken Cults ' excellent debut out of regular rotation, it's time to reevaluate. Summer is coming up, and the warm guitars and sweet vocals of Madeline Follin are perfect for those days of beach trips, open windows, and cold beverages. But listening to perfect summer music during summer isn't always the move. Los Angeles DJ Take, aka Sweatson Klank, put a different spin on "You Know What I Mean." It's bass driven, heavy, and decidedly darker (but not too dark) than the original. It's full-bodied, but still has an airy, ethereal quality to it. So instead [...]

For those of you who loved "Metropolis" and "Toulouse" from Nicky Romero, we have another big remix that he did for the one and Only Eva Simon's. If your scratching your head at why that name sounds familiar, she's the vocalist on Afrojack's anthem, "Take Over Control". Did we mention the original is produced by no other than Zedd? You can look forward to this track coming out on Interscope Records May 5th. For now, enjoy the preview! https://www.facebook.com/djnic kyromero https://www.facebook.com/evasi monsmusic https://www.facebook.com/Zedd

Nine - Make Or Take feat. Smooth Da Hustler We're All Gonna Die, But I'm Gonna Die Fly Forgive me for indulging a bit but I'm gonna drop some real real classic ish for this Sunday evening, incase you been sleeping on it. One of the all time legendary tracks in my opinion, where really everything about it is perfect. Nine's kinda cool, takes his name from his birthday - 9/19/1969 - and his shoe size. And its his lucky number too. Go and check out his album which is [...]

Erika M Anderson, who made one of our favourite records of last year, has released a brand new song and video, with all proceeds going to an anti-bullying charity. Take One Two is out now as a digital release (buy it here ) and Erika has made a video to accompany it and  has also written this rather special intro for it... “This footage comes from a South Dakota trailer park in the mid-90s, and features a small group of freaks and misfits who seem to be [...]

Ok this is insane. Ackryte hit me up yesterday to show me this,  and it's seriously jaw dropping. He and KVZE sent forward Supreme Sol a selection of dope, fire beats, who recorded over them for 23 minutes, non-stop, one take, one continuous flow. I didn't believe it at first so I had to double check with Ackryte. Some mad mad skill. Costs a dollar (or more, if you think it's worth it), so not exactly a freeness; but what's a dollar when you can have 23 minutes of this? This project contains some of the [...]

TAKE Records - это место, где выпускают разный гэрридж (все еще фьючер) вроде Jack Dixon. А еще, время от времени, - небольшие ЕР из четырех треков, распространяемы е совершенно бесплатно. Я все подвожу к тому, что день назад они загрузили похожую под номером 2. Самым видным артистом на которой является Locked Groove . Целых девять минут замкнутого хаус-грува без конца спирали. Ведь именно этот метод нарезания винила Тим выбрал себе за основу сценического имени... Нравится. MP3: Locked Groove - Steriel (320) 1. Locked Groove - Steriel 2. Oblique - [...]

Here's a lil something from Will Sessions: Will Sessions impressed many with the meticulous craftsmanship of their studio re-workings of the classic tracks for "The Elmatic Instrumentals." With their new two-part video "Mix Takes," the five-piece band is taking a similar approach in recreating some of their [...]
