Yo! I'm not pulling a Houdini, just been busy with my mate pulling rainbows out of our arses for the next Brilliantine release dropping around March but more on that later (soon). Anyhow, during time-out my e-mail inbox filled up with mountains of goods worthy of your bandwidth and It would be a shame to not have them rendering through your speakers. So I'm going to be TWEETING the best 30+ tracks and remixes while going through them all. Some are brand new and some already posted by friends and [...]

The main reason why Brilliantine fell in love with What Kind Of Breeze Do You Blow? in the first place was their innovative pairing of metamorphic inspired conceptual techniques with unconventional layers blending of melodies and atmospheric mood pieces, plus their ideas (even though at times can sound too ambitious) ends up being executed better than they way they were intended to be. Being fans themselves of the current hype band Delphic , WKBDYB decided to remodel the single Doubt from their own point [...]
It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of Barresto before (like me) because this release is a solid introduction to the man's talent. Midnight Walk on Trashbags ' own label Tuff Em Up stands up to it's name and projects the-street-is-my-catwalk feel with an energetic cascade of synth progression and power notes fitting for a Midnight Walk scene in a superhero movie from the 80s. ♫ Barretso - Midnight Walk Good stuff.
Lots of agony, seemingly torturous sacrificial rituals and a beyond haunting ethereal atmosphere. This is where The Knife have always stood vis-à-vis the music scene. Whilst I have been waiting restlessly for anything new Karin Dreijer related (god, I worship Fever Ray) this new single has just been released and it is terrifying and incredible. The Knife have been signed on to do a collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock , a studio take on an Opera grounded on the beauty of scientific discovery. This divine concoction has Karen Dreijer pouring her soulful [...]
Snoop Dogg making bubblegum hip-hop music on his hello kitty keyboard... that's the first thing that came to my mind when I heard this new remix by Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn & John - although it's a tad too commercial for my taste, I am (to say the least) amused. ♫ Christian Rich - Famous Girl (Bjorn Remix) Christian Rich worked and remixed with such artists as N.E.R.D., Diddy, Clinton Sparks, Chester French, The [...]
It has indeed been a while since ohh crapp thought a change of scene would be nice and then that scene turned out to be like being strapped to a chair in front of a screen, forced to watch a Simon Cowell look-alike squat on the 19th hole- tough to watch at times but we feel that we've left all the better for the experience. In 2008, NME'S yard stick for pop groups in the future, HEARTSREVOLUTION [...]
Experimental is a dangerous genre for a new band to embrace, it's like jumping on a trampoline in high heels while balancing a barrel of acid on top of your head - it could either turn out to be a disaster or a super entertaining stunt . Hi Tiger plays that dangerous game and i'm glad to say there isn't any skin peeling involved - built around their faggoty-moan-talk vox this deceptively psychedelic outfit does not stick to its heavily tropical-electronic and rich in surf-pop feel but attempts to [...]
I know I'm late since everyone had their say on this, but it's too good to not mention one more time. Letting Up Despite Great Faults is a band that borrows its undefined-by-one-word sound from countless genres including Shoegaze, Indie, Noise-Pop, Electronica, Ambient, Unconventional Folk and Synth among many surprising styles spicing their good-for-your-health audio products appealing to everyone from the fans of R adio Dept., Air, New Order, Shinichi Osawa to Mum, M83, The Legends and the likes. If I was to describe their music in [...]
Silver Columns ? an ultra hype secret identity Band-DJ-project-thing that shamelessly gave every visit-worthy blog a good facial (sometimes more than once) in the past couple of months including some major publications such as NME and the likes. There aren't any leads to the identity of this precious sounds maker(s?) but as far as we know the skills are of one that's spent quite sometime in the studio and knows what he's/they're doing. The piece of wonder below is the blustered version of their meticulously finished second single Yes & Dance [...]
It's been a really long time since keywords R&B or Mash-Up appeared on my iTunes library because those sort of tunes usually make it to the trash bin even before they finish playing once entirely, this time knowing that anything even remotely related to Menace has the potential to be an amazing piece of music - I decided to give this U-Tern mash-up a chance and indeed The Dream's Walkin' On The Moon vocals fits Menace 's Lightning like a glove. I guess this is the kind of mash-up on the [...]
2009 is ending up as our most productive and joyful year with the return of Ohh! Crapp... and the launch of our label Brilliantine , everything is falling in its right place and our future timeline map shows a smooth sail. Even with the minimal coverage, What Kind Of Breeze Do You Blow? have earned the respect of many international anti-hype music connoisseurs who showed support for the metamorphic melodies of What Kind Of Breeze Do You Blow? with a quite impressive number of remixes scattered throughout the year, including [...]
Jessica 6 is a music/art project that depicts villainism beauty through aesthetics of horror, glamour, sex, whiskey, sci-fi and the sounds of Sexy Psychedelia, House, Dark Dance, Pop & Funk. The trio (2 guys/1 girl) is fronted by Nomi Ruiz whose voice you may recognize from the glorious Hercules & Love Affair project (best album of 2008, imo). They have just released their first EP " Fun Girls " last month and are readying a full-length release in the Spring, You can check out a terrific remix of their dark disco below + [...]
♫ In Flagranti - Brash & Vulgar (Disco 3000 Edit) ♫ Chromeo - Night By Night (Siriusmo Remix) (Boys Noize Power Edit) Ps. Boys Noize ' Transmission ' with remixes from Mr. Oizo, Djedjotronic, Tiga, Untold, James Ruskin and Boys Noize himself in Feb 2010.
It's raining outside, I can see blinking Christmas trees through the windows of the buildings across the empty street from my dim bedroom, 2 stolen Xanax pills, a bottle of Bailey's and 4 Michel Gondry DVDs - my computer is my closest family member, It's definitely Christmas. Even with the heavy showers of new Christmas mixtapes and songs, this little tune below was the only song able to grant me a fracture of that cheesy christmasy feel inside. ♫ Empire Of The Sun - Without You (New Version) [...]
Almost 10 plays later and I'm still not tired of it... but is this the comeback single we've all been waiting almost 3 years for? Some say it still sounds like the old New Young Pony Club but in a less playroom pop and more basement indie band way. Honestly I don't care, their sound seem to have matured and basic is not a bad thing if it was well constructed and balanced with the right amount of synth and sparkle, if anything their approach towards a more textbook feel of sound is brave and [...]
You can giddily jump around pretending to be an Indian, gypsy or even a modern-hippie with a nose bump throughout our indie art film sweetheart's ( Charlotte Gainsbourg ) completely Beck written and produced album IRM , but then for those times when a mix of soft-core jangle pop and electronica sound like the wrong mood food a lighter substance can fix the problem. Nosaj Thing ran the single Heaven Can Wait through a rose petals filled solar powered music box during eclipse and the result is this semi-dark [...]
The Scion AV/Remix series never cease to impress as it cleverly combines products of some of our favorite bands and DJs with the talents of carefully picked remixers almost all the time. The new installment in the series (in collaboration with DFA ) celebrates the amazing (and very under-appreciated) The Future Will Come lp by The Juan Maclean with remixes from House Of House , Shit Robot , Canyons and Gavin Russom - the latter being my favorite out of the bunch for [...]
