Chairlift – Something (Columbia Records) Caroline Polachek e Patrick Wimberly acertaram a mão. Something é um álbum de hits, de um pop impregnado de referências oitentistas, e de composições sutis. O ápice dessa fórmula é I Belong In Your Arms , uma boa e velha balada romântica com uma batida mais anos 80 impossível. Desde a abertura com Sidewalk Safari até a última faixa, Guilty As Charged , o duo apresenta canções despretensiosas, cheias de influências, sem ser uma salada de ingredientes que [...]
This Friday January 13, Pacha NYC is kicking off 2012 in a big way by bringing in Arty to play out in front of what is sure to be a packed house. The Russian wonder returns to Pacha less than 2 weeks after a late night set following his epic night at Pier 94 with Avicii. I'll be there anxiously awaiting for him to drop ' Rebound ', and his unreleased track with Matisse and Sadko 'Trio'. If Arty wasn't enough, closing out the night is Set List Agency 's Tyler Sherritt who is making his Pacha [...]
I didn't know exactly what to expect when I showed up at Pier 94 on New Year's Eve in New York City. A venue typically used for trade shows and fashion exhibitions, Pier 94 isn't a name that is often on the lips of NYC partygoers. But now that dance music has reached unprecedented levels in popularity, a venue the size of Pier 94 would seem to be the only suitable solution for a party with a lineup featuring the likes of Avicii , Arty , Cazzette , and Swanky Tunes . [...]
With Swanky Tunes in the house late night on New Years Eve down at Pier 94, they were not ready to let the night come to an end just yet. I personally was not there but hearing stories from friends who did attend this Russian/Swede mini festival down the street from Deadmau5 , Swanky Tunes threw down hard. The Russian Trio has had an enormous year in 2011 and by setting themselves no boundaries for 2012, we can expect massive tracks from these guys. Late last night Swanky Tunes dropped a preview for their new [...]
New Year's Eve falls on a Saturday this year so there are plenty of places to party at and people to party with. What's striking our fancy? Well, there is a killer lineup of bands for the grand openeing at The Level Room with Bleeding Rainbow , Eternal Summers, Creepoid , Slutever , Pink Skull , and more. The Making Time crew is taking over Union Transfer to bring the radness and all the alcohol that you can handle. Johnny Brenda's is hosting the 2nd Annual Philebrity Snowflake Ball with special DJ sets from local favorites [...]
RUSSIA : Big Echo Arktor - Pier ft. Didjelirium Раз в месяц тайный музыкальный альянс, состоящий из 36 музыкальных блогов со всего, собирается вместе, чтобы собрать гигантский сборник. Это что-то вроде ВТО, только без нарушений прав человека. 2012 год уже не за горами и давление подведения итогов чувствуется буквально в каждом mp3 файле. Русский выбор на этот месяц – работа Artkor, о которой я в деталях рассказывал в одном из [...]
SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Sonicbrat - Bed Of Forty Winks Sonicbrat is the enduring moniker of sound artist Darren Ng, whose work is characterised by an intricate tapestry of field recordings and found sounds, strung together by subtly processed acoustic instrumentation with a classical bent. Gentle, stirring and complex, Ng's music is the sort that invites itself into and comfortably inhabits one's imagination. His latest release, Hana, is his musing on the [...]
ROMANIA : Babylon Noise Absurdcus - Puppy Slippers Absurdcus is the solo project of Transylvanian bass player/multi-instrumentalist Laszlo Demeter. His music has been a continuous work in progress since 2003, when he first started recording bits and pieces under this pseudonym. His music stylistically ranges from alternative rock and funk to electronica and even metal. You can download his debut album here . [...]

I didn't know what to get you for Christmas... so I came up with an idea. The Jukebox player on the right-hand side of this blog was launched 17 months ago and, since then, 39 people have paid £5 each to get a track on it for a month, raising a total of £180.06 (after PayPal took their cut). I pledged to use every donation "to support grassroots music" and now you're about to find out what I blew the budget on... I've been a huge fan of [...]

Beinahe zwei Jahre hat es nun gedauert, bis wir den ersten Schweizer Mundart-Künstler beim Music Alliance Pact eingereicht haben. Es handelt sich um Alejandro Jiménez, der am 9. Dezember seine neue Platte "Nabelschau" veröffentlicht hat. SWITZERLAND : 78s Alejandro Jiménez - Die Fragestellung In Frage Stellen Alejandro Jiménez is actually more poetry slam than singer-songwriting. He also [...]

Rjóminn tekur í desember mánuði í fyrsta skipti þátt í Music Alliance Pact en þar taka tónlistarblogg um allan heim sig saman og kynna tónlist frá hverju landi. Þessi gjörningur er orðinn nokuð þekktur og fá þeir listamenn sem valdir eru hverju sinn talsverða athygli í netheimum fyrir vikið. Fyrir íslands hönd í þetta skiptið er það góðvinur Rjómans, Ryan Karazija , eða Low Roar eins og hann kallar sig. Textinn er birtur eins og á ensku hjá flest öllum þátttakendum og mun Rjóminn gera það að þessu sinni. [...]
We've given a lot of love to Black Landlord this year, having featured the local act our inaugural Key Studio Sessions Live concert (as well as in a Key Studio Video Session ). So it was with a heavy heart that we read the news about how the band's frontman, Maxx Stoyanoff-Williams, was recently hospitalized. Thankfully, the folks at Standard Tap and Philadelphia Brewing Company have organized a benefit to help Maxx deal with the massive medical bills. Make Major Moves ' Brian McManus sums it up pretty succinctly: [...]
Korn - The Path of Totality : c'era una volta il nu metal, evoluzione del crossover secondo molti nata con il debutto dei Korn e morta con l'arrivo di band completamente MTV-oriented. C'era una volta la dubstep, evoluzione di alcuni generi di musica elettronica (2-step, dub e d&b) nata con Burial, Kode 9 o Vex'd e morta (possiamo dirlo?) con lo sputtanamento pop in UK e la tamarraggine USA di Skrillex. Dall'idea di unire questi due mondi (o di rimanere a galla visto il un successo sempre calante...) è nato questo "The Path of Totality", decimo album [...]
What a day for EDM in NYC. First the SHM afterparty announcement, then later in the day Avicii and his At Night team finally released a YouTube trailer with more details about his NYE show. Some rumors have circulated, including that Avicii would be playing the early set in NYC and choppering up to Niagra Falls for a post-midnight gig. However, the truth has apparently been revealed and NYC will get Avicii for a late night warehouse rave. I'm excited to see Swanky Tunes close out the night for their first ticketed performance in [...]
"I hate New Year's Eve, it's always so anticlimactic." – Friends of yours that don't see live music every year. Perhaps you've already got a show picked out for New Year's Eve 2011-2012. Maybe you lucked out and it's local or maybe you're traveling 3,000 miles or even crossing an ocean to get there. Regardless of the status of your plans, it's always fun to know what else is going on at that exact moment all over the country. [Photo of Umphrey's McGee NYE 2010-2011 by [...]
