Sounds of 2011 features many of the top songs and artists we've written about this year. We can never fit in all the ones we would have liked to, but Crimson and I took on the daunting task of summarizing a year of exceptional music and discovery. Keep yapping at us on Facebook and Twitter if you like what you hear. Chief Alexander O'Neal Interview [...]

Nick Woods (of the Orioles and the Cheap Seats) will be saying goodbye to RVA and heading to Nashville. And what better way to celebrate than putting on a last minute show? Nick's last show will be taking place on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Camel and will be joined by friends David Shultz (of and the Skyline and Ophelia), Josh Hryciak (of Mermaid Skeletons) and Shannon Cleary . It starts promptly at 6 p.m. and it's [...]

A break from the inbox led me to London-based Oriol 's tropical boogie, and he is making a sound I've been waiting to hear a lot more of. I'm about a year late on Night & Day , but these funk-laden grooves will endure through any summer party. I unfortunately haven't found much on him beyond a set for Mary Anne Hobbs and an XLR8R podcast , but you can still enjoy his debut LP on Planet Mu at Amazon for less than $10. [...]

I'm loving this guy Oriol right here. While most of you are sleeping, caught up in Dubstep and Boogie craze there's a new breed of artist pushing and fusing the lost genres of Broken Beat, Breaks and Electronic Dance Music. Of Spanish and Trinidadian heritage, The Barcelona born (but Cambridge based) Oriol expanded his horizons and learnt his craft at London's broken beat related CDR (also home of Floating Points). With lush synths and a truly fresh sound evoking the summertime grooves of 70s soul and mid 80s electro with a twist. [...]

Here at the Hive, we heart mail. Mailbag is a recurring feature in which we hip you to artists seeking play via our email inbox. The way I arrived upon the jams of Oriole Post is a little unconventional, at least when it comes to the normal premise of Mailbag. This was not sent to me by a band, not by a label. Instead, this was sent along by a friend in Kansas City, a friend from college. We don't necessarily like the same kind of music [...]

Two evenings of music hand selected by WRIR DJ and host of Commonwealth of Notions, Shannon Cleary. Coinciding with the WRIR Spring Fund Drive, all proceeds from both nights will go to benefit WRIR Richmond Independent Radio. Saturday night's performance will take place at the Firehouse Theatre and features Ophelia , Nick Coward and the Last Battle , Josh Small and The Orioles , supposedly performing their last show. On Sunday night, the fun [...]

This year marks the 5th anniversary of my No Knows Dope series (HOLY MEGABYTES BATMAN THE FIF' YEAR!)... blessed! Thank you all for your continuous support of the NKD franchise as well as all the other $tunta$tic original compilations that the rest of the Blind I staff offers. Last years NKD concept was fun being able to do each month dedicated to one of my all time favorite artists or themes. This years method to the NKD madness is simple. Genres & sub-genres (according to me that is) all mixed & glitched by my good friend/brother & [...]

Since I'm no longer reviewing new albums (other than a rare exception I made in September) I can't fall back on my 'Album Of The Year' feature to close out 2010. But that doesn't mean that I can't still feature something musical. After all, music is our middle name. In the early days of doo-wop, it seemed for a while as if every street corner was home to a group named after a bird. The Ravens, the Cardinals, the Swallows and the Larks were all around in those days, but one of the best was a [...]

My birthday is this weekend and I think the stars aligned perfectly in my favor regarding live music coming through Richmond. Hot on the heels of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists playing at Strange Matter and Finger Eleven rocking the National , there are even more shows going on that I can't keep up. It's good to know that all these great bands are performing for my birthday. I really appreciate it. Tonight, two of my favorite local bands, The Diamond Center [...]

CDR SESSION PODCAST LONDON OCTOBER 2010 - PART 1 by burntprogress via burntprogress

photography by purpleplaid Baby Please Don't Go is a song that was originally recorded by Big Joe Williams (what a voice man!) way back in 1935. I've heard various versions before (oddly not the mainstream ones) and thought it would be great to share some of them. These are just the covers that I think are cool either because I like the sound of it or because of the unique take on it. I've also tried to keep it in order of release (more or less). I have about 3 [...]

Even though this blog has slowed in output, I'm still out there writing about music and trying to raise awareness of some of the great stuff being produced currently. I've been regularly contributing to Little White Earbuds and you can find my reviews to date here . A review of Skream's killer Outside The Box went up today. My interview with Jimmy Edgar went up at FACT Magazine and I hope to be doing some more stuff with them in the future. Also, I'm constantly tweeting [...]

Has it really been two years now? F*ckin' aye. I look back on all these comps and think, "There is a shit load of good tunes out there!" And that's why I share them with you, because the average cat needs help finding these joints. But heck, I don't have much of a life anymore (we opened up a flagship shop for Cukui ) so I'm trying my best to get more to you than these comps. Anyway, I wanna give thanks to Noah and $ for lettin' me get down with Blind-I two years ago. It's been a [...]

Planet Mu is al sinds jaar en dag één van m'n favoriete labels op het gebied van dubstep, breakcore, acid en andere nostalgische dan wel moderne elektronica muziek. Eind jaren negentig bouwde oprichter Mike Paradinas, tevens befaamd als muzikant onder de naam µ-Ziq , gestaag zijn reputatie op met als resultaat dat vandaag de dag de teller op circa driehonderd releases staat, waarvan een aantal als serieuze klassieker in het genre beschouwd mag worden. Artiesten als Venetian Snares , Ceephax Acid Crew , Shitmat , Neil Landstrumm en Duran Duran Duran [...]

Illustration by Petra Mrzyk & Jean-François Moriceau [ Planet Mu ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy CD ) ( buy mp3s ) Whenever a style of music is heavily and obviously influenced by an older generation of music, there is a tendency among critics to slap a modifier in front of the name and ride the comparison for all it's worth. The latest victim of genre over simplification is funk, a musical style I personally adore: [...]

Als we de lovende reacties op de interwebs mogen geloven is Oriol Singhji met zijn vorige maand op Planet Mu verschenen debuutalbum Night and Day een serieuze kanshebber voor een hoge notering in menig jaarlijstje. Met een frisse combinatie van soul, jazz, funk, disco en diepe house heeft deze geboren Catalaan een zwoel en vrolijk zomeralbum afgeleverd, waarmee het bijzonder goed vertoeven is onder de palmboom of parasol. Vanaf de eerste klanken van de openingstrack Joy FM waan je je op een warm en idyllisch bounty eiland en dat gevoel [...]
