Pues ya estamos a nada de épocas de Navidad, amor y cosas que vienen en diciembre, pero algo que llega con ello es el frío y maldito frío se deja venir con todo. ¿Qué hacer en caso de tener frío, no tener dinero para un café o un calentador y tienes un ipod o computadora a la mano y casa sola con novia?

C'est une étape habituelle, en fin d'année le bilan s'impose pour les albums les plus marquants sur ces 12 mois. Même concept que l'année dernière, pas de classement par ordre d'importance, seulement les 50 albums qui nous ont le plus marqué en 2012, le tout trié par ordre alphabétique. Cette année le hip-hop outre atlantique s'est réellement réveillé avec des newcomers mais aussi des projets qui se sont vraiment développé, je pense par exemple au label G.O.O.D. Music qui a littéralement explosé. En tout cas, nous pouvons dire que cette année fut chargée musicalement. [...]
Como habitual, por cá fica o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana foi, uma vez mais, curta em termos musicais, mas preenchida com temas bastante especiais. Abriu-se a semana com 2 temas que marcaram a rubrica "Songs You Should Listen To. Still This Year": uma com Thomas Azier e sua pop electrónica traduzida pelo tema "Red Eyes", numa

We all need a track like this on a this Sunday. Let's go back in time to the happy year of 2011 when French duo Cherokee unleashed this slow disco jam on the internet. Any song that starts with beach sounds and slowly opens a filter on the song's hook is going to win me over right away. This whisks me away to a carefree dreamland where I'm surfing on clouds. Props to the Nu-Disco sub-Reddit or the find. Cherokee is on a small European tour right now. They're actually playing with The Rapture [...]

As we are nearing the end of the year, bloggers everywhere are frantically compiling all of their musical fixations from the year, judging and thinking about their best ofs. Very soon, the interwebs will be inundated with said lists, opinions afloat as far as the eye (or mouse) can see. With this in mind, let us take a pause together to look at where the musical world was ten years ago, in 2002. Everything learned in school tells us that remembering our history is one of the most important things in life, and this idea is [...]

Suficiente se ha dicho de Poolside , pero si hay algo que definitivamente uno no espera del proyecto de un danés ex-bajista de Junior Senior y IMA Robot colaborando con un casi Rapture, es un mix para los fríos días del otoño e invierno. El par anotó que Seasons Change es una colección de las canciones melancólicas que escucharon mientras viajaban por los estados del noreste de Estados Unidos en octubre y les pareció que encajaban perfecto con el cambio de estaciones. Los días cada vez son más cortos y el [...]

The Rapture - Children Remixes (DFA) Leur album « In the Grace of Your Love » sorti il y a tout juste un an a fait un carton, notamment grâce à leur titre phare « How Deep Is your Love ». Mais ce qui est appréciable avec le rock de The Rapture , c'est qu'il se prête très bien aux remixes. Leur label DFA ( LCD Soundsystem , Holy Ghost! , Cut Copy, ... ) a [...]

Cotton Cake was responsible for some of the best parties to grace the Sub Club in recent years. Quality guests combined with quality residents combined to make every one a night to remember. Well two of the guys behind these nights are now venturing out as a production duo under the moniker Am$trad Billionaire . We were delighted to hear their new music which you can check out at the bottom of the post and there are murmurings that they will have and EP out next year on a big house label. [...]

I know nothing about music. I just keep listening until I hear something I like. Occasionally, I stumble upon an artist I feel I should have known about sooner. In this case, that artist is Cairo-based Allen Walker . "I'm not a french house producer," Walker declares in his Facebook About page . He is right . Batman "Looking for a Sign" would sit more comfortably in a mix of dance punk next to Gang of Four [...]
Lonerism , the new album by the most excellent and hyper-talented Australian psych band Tame Impala is out today, and we've been enjoying it immensely. Perhaps the best thing about the band is that their music is as danceable as it is psychedelically wigged-out — something that's perhaps more surprising than it should be. Happily, the dance music/rock music divide is far less pronounced than it used to be, but still, we go to far too many rock shows where everyone but us is just kinda standing and nodding their heads. So to celebrate Lonerism , we've [...]

Un muy buen remix que puedes descargar de forma gratuita siguiendo el link: Download
