Ikki just released a new track that is a Techno remix: http://soundcloud.com/ikki/con trols-forever-techno-ikki Now you may say to yourself, "I like Techno!" But what is Techno... really ? Some say it's a genre, some say it's encompases the entire Electronic music arena. I say, techno is the music that was made BEFORE house and dubstep etc. were created. Techno is OG. In these two tracks that are almost 10 years old, you can hear the slower progression when the beat builds with less [...]
All week, over on Unfair Park, Robert's been posting with way too much enthusiasm about Flula Borg, the German musician behind the bizarre, above-posted pro-Dirk Nowitzki jam, "His Name Is Dirk." ...

This week while I was cruising through my vinyl collection and looking for the next album I wanted to rip, I came across this album residing in my soundtracks section. Not sure where it came from. It might have been in the Mrs.' collection or maybe I picked it up when I was at a friends house going through his extra albums. I thought hey this looks good. As I was ripping The Greatest Western Themes and getting the info I realized it was a K-Tel record. Sort [...]

Sad Bastard Sundays is a moment of zen, a moment of slowed down listening. Songs from wanderers, troubadours, and musicians for moments when a 4/4 beat and laser light shows are not required. I am Sandy at Slowcoustic and I hope to bring you over to the dark side - the songs might not brighten your day, but they might be the best song you have heard in a while...again, if only at half speed... Today's post is short, sweet and something I bring out every [...]

Hear The Track HereMy children think that when I was their age, the world was in black and white because the only images they have seen are so. We were talking about this the other day when I received this review request, about a time when the net just didn't exist, at least not in its current form. I first started uploading music and connecting with like minds through something called Bulletin
The over-dubbed version of the Jamaican original (see ABON 0153 ). On which, in order to reach a broader audience of British and American Rock fans, additional Rock-tinged guitar, played expertly by white American Rock guitarist, Wayne Perkins, is added to the original Jamaican tapes. Most obviously, in the form of an intro and a solo. Blackwell and The Wailers were delighted with the results and this version of this track was the one that featured on the released version of 'Catch A Fire' - without any reference to the over-dubbing session musicians on the album credits. For years I wondered whether it was played by [...]

a hidden agenda record ist für das soloprojekt des chicagoan nate kinsella verantwortlich. mit "shaking hands" hat er unter dem moniker birthmark sein zweites album herausgebracht. da dies bereits im november des längst vergangenen jahres passierte, haben wir lediglich die undankbare aufgabe nachzureichen. aber wie sagte der schlauche fuchs v., musik wird nicht schlecht. und solcherart, wie sie birthmark in der lage zu kreieren ist, eh nicht. drei jahre nahm er sich für "shaking hands" zeit. da ihm dies irgendwann selbst zu lang dauerte, legte er er zwischenzeitlich eine deadline fest, um dem album eine form zu [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] I'm happy to announce our latest Guest Music Post is by the very talented and respected Detroit musician Tadd Mullinix (Dabrye, James T. Cotton, SK-1) . I remember having a CD player alarm clock years ago and i'd wake up to Tadd Mullinix - Minajor every morning for more than a year no joke, I wanted to remember every note. Recently I went into Encore Records in Ann Arbor, MI where Tadd works and asked him where the Dark Cello music was hoping [...]

Pic: Michael Crowe This is the best mix i've heard in quite a while. It's from the Blackest Ever Black label, and as the name suggests it's a pretty dark affair. The labels aim is to "re-establish electronic music as a poetic, provocative and emotionally inquisitive force", and they are certainly on the road to accomplishing that.

[ download ] [tweetmeme] If you're one of the many still lamenting that there will never be another Go-Betweens record after the untimely passing of Grant McLennan in 2006, give T he Lovetones ' "City Meets the Stars" a listen. Though head Lovetone Matthew Tow's voice tends more toward Robert Forster's on "Karen" than McLennan's on "The Clock," Tow captures the taut melodies, the dark emotions, and the labyrinthine jangles nearly as well as his fellow legendary Aussies. Tow also wrote a couple songs for The Brian Jonestown [...]

For the generation of males lucky enough to be born in time to enjoy the Golden Age of video games (roughly '76- '85), Nintendo's flagship console-the NES-is perhaps the most revered. Sure, there are Atari uber-enthusiasts, Sega megalomaniacs, and, heck, even ColecoVision has it's corny collective. But it's the NES that best evokes vivid basement memories of mythically bizarre heroes methodically working their way through "worlds", powering up along the way with plants, potions, and a panoply of weaponry, all in an effort to save a damsel or defeat an overlord. The games were fantastical Choose Your Own Adventures of [...]
