The other day a friend & I were discussing the fact that Newcastle just doesn't seem to have the same passion for electronic music as other UK cities such as Bristol, Manchester & Glasgow. How appropriate then that an email hits our inbox inviting us to listen to Viva City a Newcastle based electro [...]

Hey guys, I'm back from Evolution festival in Newcastle! Sorry for the overload of posting I did last week. I was doing pretty much anything in my power to escape revision.

Almost a full 30 years after they releasd their debut album "Reproduction", Evolution was the first date [...]

Photo: http://hobogestapo.com So I am back from my new years period of getting wasted, I have heard a lot of music over the past week, but I have not downloaded anything, I have been getting withdrawals. What is the best way to get back into it all, besides rapping blogs? Well my inbox is full of new tracks, so today while I have been watching the cricket, I have slowly been downloading these tracks and trying to establish whats quality and whats not. First up, I received a facebook message from my [...]

God, I completely forgot to post this remix. I do makes mistakes. I've been rolling around on my gymnastics ball that I got totally confused, yeah, that's why. Anyway, this is a really clean club remix. It gets my dancing feet going and the strobo-lights flashing. Dan Sena made it, and he be rolling in Californ-Aye. And I have this collabo between Viva City and Don Diablo , it will be released as a single thru Don Diablo's own Sellout Imprint. Can be found on his Myspace yo. [...]
"Audio Endlessly" is a perfect collaboration between Amsterdam-based Don Diablo and Newcastle (UK) based indie rockers Viva City , who recently had an underground hit with their first single "Kate Bush" & supported The Futureheads, Boy Kill Boy and Kosheen on recent tours. Don Diablo on the collaboration: "The first demo I got from this band was so good that I decided to put it on one of my Sellout Sessions mix-compilations. I decided to check out one of their shows in the UK and I was heavily impressed! These guys [...]

Hol-uh-day-ee! Cel-uh-bray-eete! Today is my birthday! Rejoice bitches, because it's a celebration. And nothing could have started my day off better than a personalized birthday wish e-mail from none other than the ladies of The Aloud . Alright, so it doesn't appear to have been written especially for me. LAY OFF. In the meantime, enjoy my mishmash of random findings within my inbox! I've not listened to most of it (excluding the first!), but I guarantee a majority [...]

Den här musikbloggen är ganska ny så jag tycker fortfarande att det är roligt då skivbolagen skickar mail med sina nya skivsläpp. Ibland är det bara dåligt men ibland blir man överraskad, som i det här fallet. Don Diablo är en DJ/artist från Holland som haft en del lokala hits. Viva City är ett indierockband från Newcastle som bl.a. spelat förband till Futureheads. Tillsammans lyckas dom producera en riktigt röjig låt som uppmanar till dans. Skivsläpp om ett par veckor genom Don Diablos Sellout Session . [...]
Soaring on lush guitars, a driving backbeat and vocals that mesh UK indie rock forebearers like Placebo and Muse, Viva City's "Audio Endlessy" is a raging, rocking track, that carries forward with the promise of their debut track, "Kate Bush". The track also comes complete with a video treatment from Holland's Don Diablo (you know, we talked about him a while back with his "Streets Of Fire" track ) and a remix by Diablo as well.
