In deel 2 van de muzikale hoogtepunten die afgelopen maand in mijn iTunes verschenen gaan we wat meer de electronische kant op. Samplers en drum machines in overvloed, maar eerst een paar vrolijke Canadezen. Malajube - Labyrinthes Afkomstig uit Montréal en dus zingend in het Frans maakt Malajube indie-rock van de meest aanstekelijke variant. Onderstaande video toont aan dat ze ook nog eens strak in het pak gekleed gaan. Suit up. [...]

Check out our man Sway on his new project Two Fingers : The group's album will be out 30th March on the Big Dada label and they've made a few bootlegs to keep you going for now, here are the first two: 'Backyard Betty' - Spank Rock/Dustmen Rhythm - Two Fingers 'Best Best' - Missy Elliott/Moth Rhythm - Two Fingers

Just yesterday a mate of mine and I were reminiscing about good old, freaky, always got the way-ahead-of-the-times-videos, Missy Misdemeanour Elliott , and today, BAM! here she is, in my interweb travels. Canada's very own Two Fingers have really come to prove themselves with this down-tempo and raw take on Missy's 'Best Best' Missy Elliott - Best Best (Two Fingers Rmx) This is bound to bring back a memory or two, Work it! [...]

Their EP which I mentioned a while back has been turned into the LP! GAAAH! Two Fingers will be released in Canada April 14th. Of the reviews and descriptions I have read, none describes Two Fingers more accurately than Paperbag : "Imagine if Timbaland were kidnapped and held hostage in a council flat in Tottenham. Imagine then, that elite robot agents aligned to the New World Order were sent into rescue him with laser cannons little knowing that the kidnappers were in fact an underground cell of benefit-cheat Jedi. Imagine hip [...]
Two Fingers are the sort of supergroup that don't call to mind the series of failures attached to that word (we'd name them all but you can take a minute to search for your favorite in that wealthy memory of yours). The trio-- Amon Tobin , Double Click and Sway--have just completed work on a series of bootlegs and remixes as they gear up for the March 30 release of their eponymous debut. The resulting work isn't your idea of typical hip hop or electronic music. Instead, what you end up hearing is a uniquely rhythmic, super dense, [...]

Ever since I copped the Two Fingers ( Amon Tobin & Doubleclick ) & Sway track, What You Know I've been sat here waiting (im)patiently for my copy of the album to drop. I was mildly dissapointed when Sway didn't drop it when we went to see him last week but figured a certain directors' shouts of drunken abuse at the man were punishment enough for the over sight. It still hasn't arrived [...]

En ce jour de l'amour, nous vous proposons du hip hop. Du très bon hip hop, avec aux commandes deux producteurs dont le talent n'est plus à démontrer : Amon Tobin et Joe Chapman (plus connu comme Doubleclick ). Les instrumentaux sont donc de très haute qualité, et Timbaland à du souci à se faire. La voix n'est pas en reste, puisque l'excellent flow de Sway , qui prete sa voix à presque la moitié de l'album, colle à merveille a la bande son tenebreuse et mécanique des deux potes de Brighton. Ajoutez à [...]
Wack beats to move your feets? Not today, my friend. Today I offer an eclectic array of funktastic offerings. Dave Wrangler sent the cool mashup of the Pharcyde versus Ghostland Observatory. The Avalanches tune is old but sweet, a crisp slice of disco. Two Fingers is Amon Tobin and Doubleclick with rapper Sway, fresh from NinjaTune - st-st-st-stuttery hip hop goodness, very nice. Funkadelic is

Een nieuw jaar, een nieuw geluid. Dat moet Amon Tobin ergens in 2008 na de lauwe ontvangst van Foley Room gedacht hebben. Tobin keek daarom in zijn adressenlijst, zag Ninja Tunes-collega en drum 'n bass-producer Doubleclick voorbijkomen, en ging samen met hem aan de bak. Na gezamenlijk een bak beats en riffs gemaakt te hebben miste er nog iets, en dus werd rapper Sway erbij gehaald, aangevuld met Ms. Jade, Durrty Goodz, Kevin Tuffy en dancehallicoon Cecile. Het resultaat, Two Fingers genaamd, combineert de mathematisch georkestreerde beats en samples van [...]

The first, explosive emanation from a unique new collaboration (Amon Tobin & Joe "Doubleclick" Chapman), "What You Know" is delivered with all the impact of a knockout blow to the solar plexus. Hi-tech but rugged as hell, "What you Know" sounds like "Blade Runner" re-enacted in Tottenham, a juggernaut rhythm laced with the finest of lyrics. "What You Know" was released on Paper Bag Digital on January 13th. North London MC and MOBO winner Sway , a million miles from his recent "Saturday Night Hustle," comes through with a lyric about misperceptions, the way that Black youth [...]

I'm sick. My head's all woozy and it serves me right for going out with my boys last night. We ended up going to Roe which was kinda fun except I can't remember the last time I paid $20 to get into a club. Anyway, back to the sniffles. Thank god for Nyquil is all I'm saying (and the fact that I did my music search yesterday because if I was doing it now it would be even weirder choices than I already have). So, onto this week's music. First off is The Knife's Karin [...]

YES YES YES! This '09 year has gotten off to a great start. GL OBAMA MANIA ! Some lesser in magnitude events but still worth mentioning: a FANTASTIC season premiere of 24. The previous seasons have been a bit lacking but the 2 hours x 2 days introduction of 24 back into my life was magnificent. I lalalalalala loooove Jack Bauer! ANNND Slumdog Millionaire won FOUR TIMES at the Golden Globes: best drama, best director (Danny Boyle), best screenplay (Simon Beaufoy) and best original score (A.R. Rahman). It is one of the best movies I've [...]

Two Fingers is composed of Amon Tobin and Joe "Doubleclick" Chapman. I don't know much about Doubleclick. But I know lots about Amon Tobin . Of his many LPs and countless EPs, Bricolage is one of my favorite records ever produced. Ever. Amon Tobin and Doubleclick work together to fuse trip-hop, boneshattering bass dubstep, and grime. MMMMmm what a mixture. And who is the MC behind most of the music?! SWAY !!! Man, he's one of my fave grime artists alongside Durrty Goodz , and Roll Deep . I believe the LP is [...]
