Kids On TV - Dandi Wind - Sons Of Brixton - Mischief & Mayhem (DJ) This Friday the Mod Club Theatre is playing host to Kids On TV, Dandi Wind and Sons Of Brixton. Kids on TV are fairly well known around these parts for their excellent shows and high energy. What a lot of Toronto people probably don't realize is that Montreal's Dandi Wind perform an equally amazing live show. They remind me a lot of Duchess Says and some Crystal Castles songs but with a darker industrial edge. [...]

So the end of the year eh? Everyone seems to be posting special stuff like their top 50 of 2006 and the like. I think that it's a fairly good idea, but it's pretty hard to remember all the way back to January. Instead I decided to make a mini-mix of songs from 2006 that I am currently excited about. This isn't a BEST OF necessarily because that would take way way too much time. This year had a lot of really great stuff. Without further ado, I present the Top 6 [...]

The Chemical Brothers These guys have been doing big beat acid house since before the genre existed. Starting out as Manchester DJ's in 1992 at a club called "Naked Under Leather," The 237 Turbo Nutters as they were called, played hip-hop, techno and house. Later, while known as The Dust Brothers and touring North America they were forced to change their name in the face of legal pressures from the US based Dust Brothers production group (best known from their work with the Beastie Boys). So in 1995, Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands became [...]
So I have been using Torq for around a month now and I thought I'd like to share my impressions of it with everyone. Every time that I go out with it I get questions about it. So let's start with the hardware, Conectiv, and then move to the software, Torq. Conectiv 4x4 USB Audio Interface This is the little box that outputs all the juice. I used Ableton Live primarily before trying out Torq so I have no experience with the control vinyl or [...]
