Somewhere between Novosibirsk, Moscow, and Crimea there should be a lodge where mythical guy who calls himself "Villi Memory" reinterprets sounds of socialist pop from the middle of 1980-s. His project Yunost recalls a Soviet synthesizer brand 'Unost' made mostly in Latva — the notable sound can be found mostly in every movie that was made those days. Depending on the website that lead you to Villi, his project is called Yunost (translation: Youth) or Sny (translation: Dreams), I doubt that he's made a final decision, because both names perfectly suit a project that uses classic synthetic drums [...]

There's a pretty good meeting of minds here. Both Crimea X and Bjorn Torske have been edging onto our radar for a while now with a prolific string of remixes and original productions, so it's good to see a collaboration. And it's great! All swirling synths, space-echo and a pulsating mid-tempo rhythm. Perfect for warming up a dancefloor early doors. Crimea X - Varvara - Bjorn Torske Remix by Low Life Inc
Here's a little something something from the south of Italy. From the province of Reggio Emilia to be exact. The duo known, around this part of the world, as Crimea X are hoping to garner more recognition abroad with more and more posts like the one your reading now. But we let the music speak for itself right? I hear tinges of indi-electro with a bit of tropical funk/nu-disco. How does that sound... download their new track 'Varvara' off their Re:Prospective album on Hell Yeah Recordings which is actually a package of remixes by a [...]

Sometimes the electronic rumors inbox turns up exactly what I am in the mood for at exactly the right time! And that's exactly what happened when this new track from Italian duo Crimea X came through. A soulful organic Disco tune with a Jean Michel-Jarre gone Funk feel. Otherwordly and cosmic yet so human, the track has a deep groove that underpins quite a cinematic feel. The track featured on their 'Prospective' album of least year and gets the reMix treatment on 'Re:Prospective', a collection of reworkings of the album that Crimea X are [...]

Yeah, I know, Valentine's Day is commercial and naff. All kinds of idiots will play Every Breath You Take or You're Beautiful or similar inappropriate to complement the overpriced roses. There is nothing wrong, of course, with letting music doing your talking, but nothing declares love as sloppily as a badly chosen song. To be clear, Perfect Day and fucking With Or Without You are about love, but not in a romantic sense. Here is the first part of a few songs which, I think, do a good job of expressing romantic love, or talking about being in requited love. [...]
![[Listmas 2009] The Top 10 Independent Films of the Year](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2168930_lg.jpg)
Though this site is pretty much exclusively devoted to music and music coverage, on occasion I like to make mention of a great movie that's coming out, or in the case of Listmas, like to give credit to my favorite independent films released this past calendar year. Typically every year there's a fair share of smaller movies that come out which don't always make it to the wider marketplace/tiny towns where some of us with discerning tastes might live. I don't know about you, but I'm not always willing to travel 30-40 minutes to see a critically acclaimed independent film [...]
i cleaned up criminal records' $1 bin a little the other day and here's the first of the spoils. i remember when 'lottery winners on acid' was all over the radio in 2006 and it's still a good tune. i never heard anything more from or about the band after that. looking at their discography suggests that this was their best song, judging by the 3 releases by 3 different labels between 2002 and 2006. anyway, this ep is the 2004 release, with other multi-releae singles 'baby boom' and 'white russian galaxy'. not bad [...]

As soon as this number has been reached, the band promises, " to upload a new and exciting version of the album, with extra songs and some very interesting voice overs in between ", which does sound rather intriguing. So be a sport and help the boys reaching [...]
Due to life and work getting in the way, it's taken me over a week to finally type up some thoughts about about the record club we held last week . However, it's also given me time to digest a lot of the feedback we got. First off, jds and I want to thank everyone who came to The Black Door to share some music. The turnout (about 25-30 people) was better than expected and everyone seemed to enjoy the night; myself particularly. It's always fun to share music with others and be turned [...]
So, this marks the 100th official SquirrelFood.net Friday Mixtape I've posted. Nearly two years of posting a mixtape every Friday, with at least 1,000 tracks (I didn't count, just extimating that figure). Last week was post number 500, this week, Mixtape number 100. Another week, another milestone. This mix seems to me a bit on the mellow side, with acts like Adam Merrin, Paddy Casey, and Tift Merritt. A new track from The Feeling's new album, Join With Us , which I has gone soft-rock-radio after their debut, but give it a try anyway. Picking up the [...]
EXCLUSIVE Back in November, an email from Davey MacManus, lead singer of The Crimea popped into my inbox with an offer to host an exclusive version of their new single " Loop A Loop ". Exciting enough but he'd also noticed my shameless plugging of Stuart James , and asked " would I be interested in Stuart's version of the single? (attached) " After three months its finally time to post the track, along with 15 other mixes and exclusives spread over as many blogs. Having to resist posting this long was like [...]
