"There Is Another Sky" is the latest episode of Caprica. Watching it was an enthralling experience as it tackles questions of identity, power, the illusive nature of reality and the myth of home. Tamara Adama is at the heart of things, a character who up unthis point was almost forgotten by the audience, effortlessly transforms into one of the most compelling. Witnessing a virtual intelligence come to terms with their existence, and then master their domain was fascinating. The Adama clan is now on equal dramatic footing with the Graystones, and the origins of the first Cylon war are coming [...]
One of my favourite new bands of 2009 was definitely The xx . If you've been a reader here before, you probably knew that. Combing soulful duets, warm guitar rifts and minimal beats, they caught fire in the blogosphere. Their debut, titled xx also offered up an incredible number of excellent remixes. The stripped down style made them perfect for reworkings. Here are two recent ones by Matthew Dear , and Nosaj Thing . Dear's approach is rather lowfi and he adds something The xx never had: a big thwamping bassline. With a little [...]
One of the best new acts of 2009 is definetely The xx. If you've been following this blog you'll probably realize I'm a pretty big fan. Their stripped down sound combines guitar rifts minimal beats and soulful duets. There have been a tonne of excellent remixes of their first album as well. Here's two recent ones, VCR reworking by Matthew Dear is excellent, with a nice bassline, cowbell and Prince-like backing vocals. Chilled funk. Also included is Nosaj Thing's reworking of Islands which is really moody with a great beat. [...]

Hope I see all of you at Coachella this spring. Gorillaz, the world's best animated band will be performing at the festival. That alone is enough for me to make the pilgrimage again. I've only been once before in 2006. Was an explosive year to go, Daft Punk's performance having a tremendous impact on how I listened to music. I was in the dancepit, and I could barely walk after the set. How much things have changed since then, with social media becoming such a huge force. This year I'll be set for full coverage, tweeting & livestreaming and all [...]
MMMathias dropped me an email today with this insane remix for The Knife's Colouring of Pigeons by relative newcomer dAi. He`s reworked acts such as Boys Noize, Mr. Oizo, and a vs. remix with MMMathias of the Gossip. MMMathias said to expect big things from dAi this year. Judging by this track, it will probably be excellent stuff! The Knife with Mt. Sims & Planningtorock - Colouring of Pigeons (dAi refix)
"I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains. All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is." - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five I've had an influx of new readers and subscribers on Youtube mainly because of the recent update on The Knife, [...]
Since the release of the Silent Shout , The Knife has been very busy. Karin went on to release her solo album Fever Ray while brother Olof focused on an opera based on the life and work of Charles Darwin, specifically his seminal work, "On the Origin of the Species". Working with the Danish opera company, and Hotel Pro Forma, the collaboration converges many different elements in a provactive, enthralling way. It blends the artificial [...]

Readers, I apologize for not having my top 20 of the year up yet. I have been overtaken by Christmas. I will try and have it up before the New Year. For the mean time, I'm going to leave you with a new remix from LA producer, Them Jeans, this time covering the opening track off of Beach House's hotly anticipated Teen Dream, which arrives in January. Even more subtle then the great work on The xx's Shelter, it shows a little percussion goes a long way. [...]
