"Prior to the advent of Rock Steady and Reggae, the irresistible sound of Ska dominated Jamaica's music landscape. At the forefront of the island's vibrant music scene throughout this time was the legendary producer and proprietor of the famed Treasure Isle liquor store, recording studio and label: Duke Reid. Collected within this box are faithful reproductions of eight of the Duke's most precious musical gems from the original Ska era of the mid-sixties. And with each of these 7" singles making their first official release outside Jamaica, this limited edition collection is one for musical connoisseurs to treasure." [...]

Zodiacs , the studio project with a rotating lineup headed by Mike Sniper, the guy behind Blank Dogs and Captured Tracks, is back. Last year Sniper locked himself in the same room as Dum Dum Girls' Dee Dee, Crystal Stilts' JB Townsend, Woods' Jeremy Earl and Jarvis Taveniere to record the amazing Faraway Friend 7", released with CT-100. This time, instead, he collaborated with Soft Metals' Patricia Hall and Thieves Like Us' Andy Grier, two of the most obscure acts on his label roster, to give us a slice of cold perfection called 'Stranger'. Have a listen [...]

Jochen van der Steijn AKA Jochen Miller has officially released his newest track 'Zodiac' on High Contrast Recordings. An absolute dance floor killer that is composed of melodic and audacious trance loudness. The lick resembles the remix that Axwell did of ' Teenage Crim e,' but the addition of euphoric trance elements in this tune takes it to a whole new level. Quality stuff folks, check it out and go grab your own copy from beatport! Jochen Miller - Zodiac Download: Beatport

Below is a live performance video from Lushlife 's album release party this past Tuesday night (April 17, 2012) at Johnny Brenda's.

Special thanks to Live Philly Concerts for sharing, and you can check out more footage from Lushlife's set HERE .

After starting life in 2010, Zodiacs is what you could call a 'collaborative effort' from various Captured Tracks artists. continue reading >>
![[Listen] Zodiacs: "Stranger"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4206905_lg.jpg)
Una de mis canciones favoritas del año pasado estuvo a cargo de Zodiacs , un proyecto que hasta ese entonces se habia presentado como un super group compuesto por integrantes de Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts , Woods , y Blank Dogs . Obviamente en cuanto escuche " Faraway Friend " pense que vendrian grandes cosas con esta banda pero desde la aparicion del sencillo en 7" no volvimos a tener noticias sobre ellos e incluso, la informacion que comenzo a aparecer solamente era en torno a los nuevos materiales de las bandas previamente mencionadas pero [...]
Waterford five-piece Solar Taxi are gearing up for the release of their debut album, Broken Brother's Secret Bells. It's been a long time in the offing and follows a string of singles. They were recommended to me by one of my favourite Irish artists, the Casanova Wave, who has remixed [Read more]

Fucked Up , the Toronto based punk outfit, sure have a taste for the epic. Their last album, David Comes to Life , was an amazingly crafted, sweeping opus of sound and depth (and one I really loved). "Year of the Tiger" is built from the same stuff. A 15 minute punk-rock opera built on sweeping guitars, passionate vocals, and ambition. "Year of the Tiger" is the fifth single, in as many years, to be released as a part of the bands Chinese Zodiac series, a sort of Fucked Up annual tradition. Whether you like [...]
La semana pasada os hablábamos de Fucked Up para contaros la excelente iniciativa que había tenido su discográfica. Una semana previa al lanzamiento de "Year Of The Tiger", el último sencillo que lanza la banda con motivo de la entrada del nuevo año chino, se ponía a disposición de todos los fans una recopilación en streaming con las anteriores entregas. Esa recopilación se ha visto ampliada hace unas horas con la incursión de la citada "Year Of The Tiger", que se lanzó ayer y que podéis disfrutar tras estas líneas. ¿Cómo [...]
Fucked Up siguen muy activos. Después de tocar su último y aclamado disco, David Comes To Life , en su totalidad, esta banda de punk alternativo vuelve con la siguiente iteración en su serie de sencillos con motivo del año nuevo chino . Hablamos de los Zodiac 12", una serie que este año se completa con una nueva entrega: "Year Of The Tiger" . Lamentablemente el tema no sale hasta dentro de una semana, pero para crear expectación la banda ha decidido ofrecer la totalidad de la serie a través de la [...]

Thanks to my good friend and DJ Partner in crime, Freddy King of Pants for getting this stuck in my head for the last month. It's over the top, camp as Christmas and produced by the one and only Giorgio Moroder. Enjoy! 123 version after the jump!
Yeahhhh, we're a little late with this one, but hey, I'm going to just throw the old adage of "better late than never" out there and hope it sticks. I'm also hoping that I can turn a few more folks on to this superbly talented San Francisco-based duo, the Jealous Guys , who have just released their new project, Audiobook . It's a four-track EP that pairs them up with deft producer Jeremy "Zodiac" Rose, who had a hand in the Weeknd's debut, House of Balloons . Hit the skip to [...]
"Russians Got Groove" group keeps on surprising, and I'd like to present you 3 of most impressive new tracks: The Noodleman, popular DJ and remixer from Canada kindly shared his deep-house remix of 1981 "I'm No Longer Jealous" – song of Alla Pugacheva, main soviet pop-diva of '70s. Disco-veteran KMTR dug out his 2001 mash-up [...] Related posts House Of Music Footages Russians Got Groove More... I Like It
Back in February the Jealous Guys jumped onto our radar with their incredibly dope yet highly slept on The Lover Mixtape . Since then the San Francisco duo have been building up hype for the forthcoming Audio Book EP, which will be produced entirely by Zodiac. Yes folks, the Jeremy "Zodiac" Rose who was apparently at one point part of The Weeknd until being kicked out. Regardless, the dude knows how to produce, which is already evident on the latest single, "Genesis". Taking a pretty gigantic step away from what we know as [...]
I came across this thanks to Manic. Can always leave it to him to put you on some shit that not only you've never heard of, but it will be really dope as well. Check this out and more as a hip myself to Flying Lotus.
