1forthepeople continue to bring you the best and upcoming musical talent, in all shapes and forms. This week it comes from Brooklyn's Twin Shadow. We featured his track/video "Slow" in recent times and we think he's an example of where creativity can get you within today's modern market, it doesn't have to be all straight lines, you can go wherever you like. Last week we had the chance to throw him a few questions and here's the outcome: (1FTP) Give us a brief insight into twin shadow for people who may not know.... [...]
The Laughing Light of Plenty - The Rose Some of my favorite song-songs are songs in only an academic sense, in that there is a voice and there are instruments, and those two components interact in a way; what I mean by that is that I like it when the two parts seem indifferent to each other, but are (surely in a technical way) still complementary. Two examples: that original live performance of Arpeggi that Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood did with the Nazareth Orchestra, and The Double's Black Diamond (which [...]

oonce oonce oonce oonce What the hell. I finished this up a couple of days ago and it's good enough to meet myyyyyy high quality-control standards and so, to reiterate, what the hell. http://www.divshare.com/downlo ad/6888740-c6d (n.b. that you can stream this through DivShare if you don't want to download a 150mb file) 1.

We have a great deal of affection for Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space round these parts. His latest broadcast is a round up of 2008 and it includes this spanking effort from The Laughing Light of Plenty . If there is a definitive book of Indie Disco hits, 'The Rose' should certainly be last years entry.

FUCK!!! Before I type anything more, before I fill you all with appologies and reasons why I havent posted in a month, I'm going to put some music on, i think I'll play out some Disco... **insert disco music into your heads here** Ahh so much better, if the word "Funk" isn't a drug then my names not Captain Groovenuts! I've got a summer's worth of greatness right here, some stuff from other blogs (as you do) some stuff from beatport (as you do) and some exlusive music native to the shores of [...]
I didn't really do one of these last year, but figured i might as well keep going with the crowd and jump on the top 10 bandwagon. Love conforming. I know it's a little bit early but I wanted to get it out of the way before I skip the country in a week. Most of the tracks act more as representatives of a certain artist or label or album or whatever, so keep that in mind. I've loved this year and the way it's panned out music-wise. My electro hangover began to creep up in earlier [...]
It appears as though the door to my blog now includes a "Content Warning" pathetically hedged to its rusty hinges by complaints to Google. If you are reading this then I hope that you have understood the "Terms of Service" because if you haven't and I offend you with my "objectionable" content then you are a no longer just a douche bag - you are now a retarded douche bag who has been warned. All my faithful non complaining readers will now be rewarded a dose of Derogatory Hitler [...]
I am in love with PNAU . Compromised of Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun, Teenager) and Peter Mayes, this duo has been putting out records since 1999... but unfortunately I only first heard them at the start of 2008. Being a huge fan of Sleepy Jackson and Luke Steele, I picked up an album by Empire of the Sun some years back, but I had no idea that Littlemore had moved on to make such infectious dance music. Me likey. Baby [...]
Yeeeeee Boiii i ii! Just doing some procrastinating, figure I should share some relaxing goodies. For a start - Tim Sweeney on Saturday was SO GOOD . Oh man. So refreshing! I'm instantly inspired to spend all my time/dollars record hunting again, none of this digital rubbish! One of his staple tunes seems to be The Rose by The Laughing Light of Plenty , and for very good reason. Bigstereo threw this one up a few months ago but it's well worth a delayed post here - a magnificent build with a [...]
Good evening fine people, here's a tasty selection of wicked tunes for you to consume if you're hungry. Just a little point, you may have noticed some posts have been going missing lately (not just this blog, others blogspot blogs too). Not sure why which is pretty frustrating, but i'm trying to recover as many of the posts as I can so please bare with me. 15/10/08 - EDIT - ALL MP3's HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY REQUEST The Laughing Light [...]

This has floated over the vast Atlantic. You know, how they say, 'across the pond'? Well that is where this has ventured from. And it sounds as every bit well travelled and matured as you could imagine. The Rose is tantamount to pure euphoric joy. I daren't say too much about this track. I really daren't. It is just amazing. The Laughing Light of Plenty are certainly very promising. The Laughing Light of Plenty - The Rose [via YouSendIt for 7 days]
I need (need) to share a song with you that is so easily on my top ten list of favorite songs of the year - if not decade. And no, that's not a hyperbole. "The Rose" is epic. This builds up to the most fabulous break. I imagine it being like three am and the floor is slow and dark and then bang the break is over and there's an explosion of sweat and bodies moving. But yeah, this has everything that so much dance music is missing these days - it takes you on a fucking journey. [...]
