Electronic Breakfast

May 21, 2010, 5:03am Lofi Hifi
Electronic Breakfast Hi Folks, A very sunny morning in East London, about to head off to work. Thought I'd briefly have a look at who's currently making waves and who's currently setting trends in the world of electronic music. Bon Appetite. For the first course I generously serve a slice of broken beat/garage with Randomer & Fife. Smart synth stabs, super-smooth vocals and a very tasty bassline have seen their track Too Many Times see early support from Giles Peterson and Mary Ann Hobbs. Released on May 24th on Fat! Records. For Fans of [...]

A Shot In The Dark

Jan 9, 2010, 8:36am Lofi Hifi
This is a film I was in last year. It was a collaboration between the London Film School and the National Gallery, where students picked a painting in the gallery to write and a direct a 3 minute short around. Sohail, who wrote and directed it, chose Bartolomé Bermejo's painting Saint Michael triumphs over the Devil, painted in 1468. In his words: "I was intrigued by the way the Devil is depicted by the painter. A small helpless figure who, even pinned to the ground, seems to laugh at man´s attempt to defeat him. The painting tackles the [...]

Must hears of the week...

Must hears of the week... Just to make sure I don't miss out on the bandwagon this week, and nor do you, two bands getting me excited this very second: Boys Noize. New album. New song, Gax. Brilliant. I feel like I've just heard sweet sweet filter-house for the first time. And it's very exciting and beautiful. In fact I haven't heard anything getting me this excited in a couple of months. It's just ace. Boys Noize - Gax The album, Power, is released in 2 days. Click here to [...]

Psychadelic shoe gaze, dreamy electronica, riot grrl, bubblegum pop and progressive electro.

Sep 21, 2009, 1:41pm Lofi Hifi
Psychadelic shoe gaze, dreamy electronica, riot grrl, bubblegum pop and progressive electro. This looks pretty good: Teengirl Fantasy bring their dreamy electronica, for one of only a handful of London dates. Arch M , plays a bleepy shoe-gaze psychadelica, with a clever Motown flavour, and Trailer Trash Tracys are first on - a band I really like - bringing a classic shoe-gaze sound - distant vocals and thick, ethereal sounds, with a very London-now sound. Free mp3 from the band's website: Trailer Trash Tracys - Candy Girl (Demo) [...]

wE'RE ROCKING DOWN THE HOUSe

Sep 2, 2009, 6:47am Lofi Hifi
T-shirt label MILLIONHANDS was launched this July by Berlin based music producer Tom Mangan, fusing his two long held passions: music & T-shirts. He has collaborated with the likes of Chicago acid house hero Adonis and the shirt ' We're Rocking Down the House ' is a salute to Adonis's seminal 1986 track of the same name. Quality looking Ts - and isn't it always the case that when you come to buy T Shirts you can never find any that are half-decent, or indeed have a Chicago [...]

DJ Koze, Competition Time and Hellogoodbye meets Postal service from Indiana.

Aug 13, 2009, 7:23pm Lofi Hifi
DJ Koze, Competition Time and Hellogoodbye meets Postal service from Indiana. With cited influences as diverse as Public Enemy, My Bloody Valentine and Al Green, DJ Koze is something of an electronic music maverick. Since emerging in 1999, the Hamburg jock has applied his defiantly different outlook to an unfathomable number of musical styles. He has recorded for heavy hitting labels Kompakt , Warp and Freude-Tanzen , and is famous for the deeply danceable cum swerveball mantra of his live sets. His ability behind the decks is impressive too - he actually [...]

Some fresh new beats...

Jul 27, 2009, 8:36pm Lofi Hifi
Some fresh new beats... Some summery, riffy hip hop from LA sent my way. PM Cool and Mr Keyz describe themselves as " the modern day Run DMC with a blend of rock star, a tone of conscience, and universal swagger ". It gets my seal of approval.

Something like a robot disaster

May 29, 2009, 9:30am Lofi Hifi
Something like a robot disaster As I've been a bad blogger recently (and have the attention span of a goldfish on ketamine) have decided to experiment with 'tweet' (shudder) sized copy for each track. First: Something Like Fire - supported us (St. Francis) at Camden gig recently. V. promising hummable indie meets LFO filter basslines and classic electronic drum sounds. Digitally re-hashed post-Libs hooks blasted from a bedroom-tech noise-core cannon*. (Obviously) Something Like Fire - Mr. Shadow A band that I posted ages ago have apparently got quite a [...]

This is the story of peaceful protest, disgusting police tatics and desperately tring to get to my band's first gig...

Apr 3, 2009, 10:27am Lofi Hifi
This is the story of peaceful protest, disgusting police tatics and desperately tring to get to my band's first gig... Copyright The Guardian On Weds my self and friend went down to take part in a peaceful protest at Bank. We were there to display our anger at how modern capitalism has failed most people, and is seriously failing the environment. But for us, personally, our anger didn't mean we wanted to damage any property, let alone any people. We were there for a fun, lunchtime protest, for a dance, to use own free time to take to the streets and sing and shout our dissaticfaction. As well publicised subsequently, by 1 o'clock the police, in [...]

Mixcloud

Mar 30, 2009, 12:13pm Lofi Hifi
Offering a service long over-due, Mixcloud is a new venture aiming to be THE place online for DJs to host, share and promote mixes. Annoyed with the ubiquitous "MegaRapidFileUpload" file sharing services that are currently used by DJs, Cambridge grads Nico Perez and Nikhil Shah set up the site. "DJs are natural promoters", says founder Nikhil Shah. "They want their mixes heard by as many people as possible. Yet the tools they currently use are broken in 3 ways: 1. They have no metadata so they don't rank on Google; 2. They're "sender to receiver" so they only [...]

Puma L.I.F.T.
Yes. I know it's an advert, but this must be the product of some of the best creative minds around. Taking the ideas of cutting-edge multi-media live performance, and making them into something as wonderfully populist as this, they have done soemthing really radical. And it's the sort of video you could happily watch ten times in a row, and be amazed every time. Brilliant. It was made by this guy: http://rupertsanders.com and these guys: http://www.droga5.com/ >
