Remember the moment in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze when Shredder, previously thought to be dead, punches his hand through the rubble in the NYC trash dump and eight-year-old you was like "OH SHIT SHREDDER IS STILL ALIVE!! AHHH!!" and then your Mom yelled at you for using a bad word? Mariah Carey pulled a Shredder-punches-his-hand-out- of-the-rubble this weekend. We all thought she was gone. But oh good sweet lord, she is back. And what a way to come back! It's almost like she's been waiting on some gold-gilded throne [...]
I hope everybody that had the fortune of going to Coachella did so with full force. There's no time for slacking off at a festival like that. In many ways it's like a 5K run uphill, only your music is replaced by 100 subs, 500 speakers, and a song selection that probably couldn't fit on a 64 GB iPhone. I was having a discussion earlier about the biggest festival in existance. My friend thinks it's Global Gathering or EDC , I say Tomorrowland or Ultra . If you've got any ideas, feel [...]
Gary Numan lanzará para el mes de octubre de este año su nueva producción, Splinter , una muestra más del dominio de este creador sobre el ruido electrónico y el pop. En el álbum, que le sigue a Dead Son Rising del 2011, participa el guitarrista Robin Finck - Nine Inch Nails , Guns N Roses -, y fue producido por Ade Fenton . En Splinter Numan utiliza nuevos sonidos e ideas. Hemos escuchado [...]
After creating a name for himself with a bevvy of interstellar remixes and production credits on a Lupe Fiasco track, TheFatRat takes his first swing at the original release game with the electro house meets dubstep hybrid "Splinter." Possibly named after a Ninja Turtle training sewer rat, the LA-based producer's first original begins as a funky, vocal stuttered-jewel before quickly transforming into a savagely aggressive dubstep bomb that will catch casual listeners by surprise. Leaving his funky electro house style in the dust for his first release on Spinnin' , TheFatRat takes a step outside [...]
![TheFatRat – Splinter [Spinnin Records] [TSIS PREMIERE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741628_lg.jpg)
TheFatRat is an incredible producer and has made countless huge remixes , and even produced a track for Lupe Fiasco. He typically sticks to the funky electro house, yet went out of the box for his debut original release on the worldwide known S pinnin' Records with a brutal dubstep banger. We got a preview alongside his January Monthly Mix . "Splinter" packs an incredibly suspensful buildup leading to a suprisingly heavy drop that sounds like nothing I have ever heard. The whole track has a certain cinematic quality perfectly suited [...]

Midweek Mixes is back with two highly contrasting mixes. Disco, funk and a blend of downtempo, emotional and melodic music.
This is saintly dust , wheezen sax and dripping tap drummage... ambulance ambience on the exhaust fumes of a whirring mind... absolute love and respect

And in case you missed the Cold Splinters modeling debut (something I never expected to type on this website) with friends Tom from Archival Clothing and Peter from Best Made Co. , check that out [...]
I'm sure someone else has already said this but, it needs to be repeated: the garage-rock scale has dipped, I believe permanently in to the darker, less-melodic void of 1990s grunge. Everything these days that once played nicely with the three-chord progressions and snarling lips of concrete encased rock 'n' roll is now laconically dropping [...]

Teen Witch is Tyler (formerly of Tempo No Tempo , presently of Grooms ) and Caroline (of The Splinters ). They have a new(ish) EP which fits one side of a cassette with so much rock and roll, they had to leave the other side blank for balance sake. The "smokey black" cassette is available via the Whoa Whoa label in a limited run of 150 cassettes (and naturally comes with a digital download). Listen. Downloadable: I Don't Mind (mp3) The cassette art looks something like this: [...]

For their first album in six years, Norway's Deaf Center move beyond the low-fidelity experimentalism of their past toward a more vibrant veneer enhanced by high-end analog engineering gear. For their first album since 2005's acclaimed Pale Ravine, the Norwegian duo of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland, known as Deaf Center, moves beyond the low-fidelity experimentalism of its past toward a more vibrant veneer enhanced by high-end analog engineering gear. The end result is the spectacular Owl Spinters, eight compositions of shimmering black ambience that boast a powerful new sense of grandiosity and catapult Totland's piano and Skodvin's cello [...]
Southpaw Records has put out some terrific records over the past year, including Ty Segall's live LP, and great singles from Shannon and the Clams, The Splinters and The Sandwitches.
