Slow day in music land today my friends. That's alright, because this remix from The Twelves has taken up my entire day. I wonder how many times I can listen to this until the weekend begins. With the start of the weekend, comes the start of a 2 week mega vacation consisting of dominating the beaches of Maine with EB and company, to taking on Lollapalooza in Chicago with Jimbo and others. So it would be ideal for all parties involved if the work-week ended as soon as possible. Thank you to Two Door Cinema Club and The Twelves for [...]

So as always enjoy the drift below and a [...]

Not enough time has passed to call these songs throw backs, but the landscape of the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) world has changed significantly since their creation. Considering my emersion into this world was relatively recent, 2006, I find myself wondering about the history of electronic music, recent and long past. The explosion of dubstep around 2009 really intensified my love for EDM. Rusko's Jahova was the first wobble to grace my ears. Broken records don't repeat as much as Jahova did. Dubstep led me to Drum & Bass, even though the latter came first. Nu-disco and Electro Funk have [...]

One of my absolute favourite indie bands in the world is Noah and the Whale from London. Two years ago they released the perfect album with "The First Days Of Spring" and in March this year they released their third and latest studio album "Last Night On Earth" and it's as perfect as its predecessor. So many brilliant tracks, you should get your copy here . So far, regarding to my sources, there's not so many remixes made out of the tracks on the album yet. But the other day I got my hands of [...]

Hot on the heels of Phoenix and Digitalism who previously selected and mixed Kitsuné Tabloid compilations, Brazillian duo The Twelves will release their own compilation on September 5th.

Check out the tracklisting below. Kitsuné Tabloid by The Twelves A Side: The Twelves – Handshake (dub) Munk – Violent Love (The [...]

![[Completion Bonus] Yelle – Safari Disco Club + Ce Jeu (The Twelves Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3388186_lg.jpg)
There's only one of me at present (though there have been other writers from time to time & if you're a music writer, you could even submit something for review ) and, as a result, I don't get to cover everything I'd like at exactly the time I'd like to. France's very own Yelle has been the subject of more than mere wistful glances around here & I'm a big proponent of her particular electropop. So Yelle, if you're out there, I didn't forget you - I'm just running a bit behind. [...]

I've been told that 2011 is the year of dubstep. Unfortunately, this year I was only able to catch one dubstep act at Coachella, and it was a severe letdown. Don't get me wrong - I agreed with Skrillex being on the list of Top 5 Electronic acts to catch at Coachella 2011 - but after watching his set I couldn't help but lament about how poorly it was put together and how sloppily it was executed. Fortunately, the rest of the weekend was filled with amazing artists and amazing live shows. This list contains *my* [...]

New York City's music scene has yet another great week ahead of it, with the Fixed guys offering up two back to back events featuring some awesome talent. Thursday night, April 21, The Twelves are playing live at Highline Ballroom, which is guaranteed to be a riot. Last time The Twelves were in the city, they tore the roof off of a sold-out Good Units, so be sure to buy your ticket in advance, or at least get there early. The next night, Friday, April 22, Pantha Du Prince and The Sight Below are [...]

![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Is Tropical – "The Greeks"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3361029_lg.jpg)
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing up pieces for each [...]

After months and months of waiting and anticipating, Coachella is finally here. This will be my second (hopefully annual) trip to the festival and I couldn't be more excited. Our crew has increased from 2 to 7 this year and we will be staying for a few extra days to relax next to the pool and recover from our post-fest haze (I'm equally excited for those 2 days of sun and nothing else as I am for the festival itself). Last year, I provided a big list of festival advice taken from my experiences at other [...]
