★★★★☆ Away goes Louie Vega , traveling the world once again with his trusted house music compass, looking for the perfect beat and always having somewhere to crash wherever he goes. Those putting him up include high-rate landlords such as Todd Terry, DJ Koze, Dennis Ferrer, Basement Jaxx (who already have a tenant in Yoko Ono for “Day of the Sunflowers”), Eric Kupper and Phil Asher. It’s no spring break roadtrip, it’s all under the premise of the wordy subtitle A Journey into Electronic, Soulful, Afro & Latino Rhythms. Vega [...]

Looks like Noisia is back at it with a new dnb track, but this time with German producers Florian Harres and Nicolas Ruoff, aka Phace. This new collaboration brings with it one of the most complex, intricate, and dirty drum'n'bass tracks I've heard. Program (or Programme in the UK) brings dubstep-worthy wobbles, complex metallic percussive elements and a creepy organ line, making this track into one of the darkest, heaviest dnb tracks so far this year. As Friction said on his Shogun Audio [...]

Enjoy the fruit of your labor. You deserve (it).

Visions of Trees are SOIWT's favourite London band; in these shitty times, they provide a giddy, intoxicating escapism, an escape via chanted vocals, sweeping electronics and a thrilling, heady pop pace. Ahead of official single Novocaine, this new song is another life-raft for when my mind gets too maudlin, a musical codeine for all the crap happening right now. I wonder if they'll ever know how much they've helped me? EVERYTHING AWAITS (DEMO) by Visions of Trees They've also got a special, killer mix available [...]

Firmly establishing themselves as an ethereal dance pop force to be reckoned with, London’s Sara Atalar and Joni Juden aka Visions of Trees , have revealed a demo version of new track ‘Everything Awaits.’ A glitchy, warm, synth led number it is available to stream below ahead of the release of their forthcoming official single ‘Novocaine.’
East London's Joni Juden and Sara Atalar have been unfairly pigeonholed as chillwave in the past but 'Everything Awaits' should ... Continue reading

Recently, Ovum records down in the US of A released a digital version of the Nico Lahs EP 'Clouded Visions'. The digital was released with an extra self titled original. The addition of the original is what makes this release so special, Clouded Visions is that driving deep tech sound that would make anyone with a slightly weak bladder wet their pants on the dance floor.

Matt Oliver's Twitter account continues to dish out excellent musical recommendations. After introducing me to the new "Wino Strut" single by his former Sound Team bandmate Bill Baird, Oliver mentioned a band he'd recently recorded at his Big Orange Studio in Austin for Daytrotter: Hundred Visions . The band, also from Austin, is a juggernaut of rollicking drums, deeply rhythmic guitars, and resonant and wailing vocals. Over the course of the debut three-song "Last Cab From Tunis" 7", it's easy to fall under the spell of Hundred Visions' ferociously propelled post-punk fuzz, Southern-brewed funk, and [...]

photos by Jessica Amaya , wordsy by Rachel Kowal Twin Sister @ Music Hall of Williamsburg The last two nights of Northside were decent, if not a bit predictable. Though I was curious about Kelly Pratt (Arcade Fire/Beirut)'s new band Bright Moments (they played their first show at the Luaka Bop showcase ), I decided to play it safe on Saturday night and headed over to the Music Hall of Williamsburg [...]
If you have any interest in underground metal, black or otherwise, you're aware of the uproar created by Brooklyn quartet Liturgy . Much of the disdain's focused on frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, and what people view as his "pretentious" reading of black metal (American and otherwise). I did the first large-scale interview with Liturgy a couple of years ago as part of my (then) Show No Mercy column: Hendrix discussed black metal in the same terms in '09, but it was a more recent Scion video Q+A , coupled with the "crossover" coverage of the band's newest [...]
Guten Morgen und guten Tag, liebe Liebenden. Der Song von Woodkid heisst "Iron", stammt von der gleichnamigen EP und ist so bel nicht. Erinnert mich ein wenig an das Elektro-Geklppel von These New Puritans und der Slow-Motion Orgie "We Want War". Eigentlich nicht ganz mein Style, aber wir hren den Song nicht unter Schmerzen.

We love The Ugly Club and if you attended our first showcase back in March, you probably love them too. We actually overheard a girl saying, "this band gives me a lady-boner" during their set. Erm, well, though they don't quite excite me in that way, they did just put out a new EP, Visions of Tall Girl , and it's my favorite thing they've released. I've had several listens through it and it's really, really lovely! You can purchase it on iTunes for only $3.96 (c'mon, help a band out) but I've [...]
