![[Listen] – The Rapture – "Sail Away EP"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4042922_lg.jpg)
Tweet We've featured The Rapture before and if you were checking the site out last November you would have caught the bizarre video for "Sail Away" taken from their third album "In The Grace Of Your Love" . If you haven't checked it out, go take a look now. I'll wait... See what we mean? This track has already become a become a live favourite amongst fans and it's not hard [...]
Fue una de las canciones del 2011, es por eso que muchos aún no se aburren de ella. Por esa misma razón, en los últimos días han salido un par de remixes que vale la pena destacar. Primero el de Toomy Disco, el talentoso productor argentino revelación del 2011 hizo todo lo que sabe hacer, poner el toque nu disco. Y en segundo lugar, Cassian da su versión y deja en claro que los australianos también saben hacer house. Sin lugar a dudas, ambas son buenas formas de remezclar a los neoyorquinos. El remix de Toomy Disco está [...]

Wistful, soulful disco master, Aeroplane, hailing from Belgium is heading West this February. Having one of the most progressively retro sounds in the game today, Aeroplane makes music that brings to light the lushest of disco and the funkiest of 802s electronica in a fresh, new way. It's passionate, cheerful, and sassy, described by the man himself as invoking a certain "sad happiness," like a smile in a rainstorm. In anticipation for his US tour as well as a celebration for his 'In Flight Entertainment' DJ mix, we caught up with Aeroplane for a quick interview about his sound, his [...]

We haven't posted up very many remixes on GIGANTIC in the past while, so I figured today would be a good day to put together a Friday Bangers special, consisting of nothing but fresh new remixes for your listening pleasure. I'm going to post up the remixes in the order in which they would most likely be played in at the club. This first remix is of a track that has been getting a fair caning in Gigantic for ages now. It's SBTRKT 'Hold On' , and it has been reworked by Them Jeans [...]

Por Judith Gómez Machado Pasadas las 22.20 del lunes, algunas toallas y varias botellas de agua aguardaban sobre el ardiente escenario de Groove . El telón había quedado abierto tras la presentación del local Carca , y los instrumentos eran acomodados y/o probados con esmero por el equipo de producción. ¿Todo estaba calurosamente calculado? Puede ser, pero lo cierto es que la cuarta visita de The Rapture a la Argentina no sólo trajo consigo un puñado de sensaciones dance-funk , sino también rasgadas confidencias que el trío [...]
Birth of a Star from Tom Lowe on Vimeo . "This movie presents a visualization of the star-forming region known as S106. This unique three-dimensional view illustrates and emphasizes that many of the objects contained within astronomical images are not at the same distance, but, in fact, spread across light-years of space. The Hubble image is augmented with additional field-of-view from the Subaru Infrared Telescope. The stars and the lobes of glowing gas from the Hubble/Subaru two-dimensional image have been separated and sculpted using both scientific knowledge and artistic license to create [...]

![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – We Have Band](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4013659_lg.jpg)
Tweet With the current amount of music being released (a LOT), I feel that band names are really getting to be of utmost importance. Being honest, I've passed up many a band because I thought their name was just not appealing to me (you know you've done it too). We Have Band is the type of band name that is going to be entirely hit-or-miss for most people. While some may mock it for being completely ridiculous, [...]
