Download : Kalabrese - Independent Dancer “Together, we’re playing and dancing to a song, a song that we don’t know.” (Sacha Winkler aka Kalabrese) Kalabrese is a curious tastemaker and bold musical force that dares to tread the murky waters between indie and electronica, playfully emphasising vocals on song based productions and presenting an album that pushes the limits and portrays dance music in a peculiar and natural way. Inspired by blues, funk, and all those beautiful dancers and tragic heroes of the night, ‘Independent [...]
This was the week we finally got to hear Daft Punk's Random Access Memories . As hosts of the album's official launch party, the town of Wee Waa, Australia was especially excited . We also had a party (of the unofficial, digital kind), at which you guys shared your initial reactions to the set. The LP's on track to top the Billboard charts next week and you can read our Premature Evaluation here . RAM is the topic that dominates this week's Shut Up, Dude, but we had other fun discussions [...]

As DFA Records mentioned on Twitter , the biggest "dumb disco idea" was to have Holy Ghost! release a song the day after the Daft Punk stream of Random Access Memories went live. Because of it this song might have slipped under the radar for some, but don't miss out because this eight-minute monster deserves all of your attention. "Dumb Disco Ideas" is a classic DFA Records track in the production department, with the signature steady, crisp [...]
“I think of it as being kind of like the space program in 1960s,” said Daniel Armbruster when asked about the level of experimentation involved in creating Joywave’s latest release. “Each mission was about accomplishing a certain goal that ultimately was about putting a person on the moon. ‘Alright, Mercury we’re going to have people circle the Earth. Gemini , we’re going to have crafts docking. Eventually, we’re going to get there.’ That’s kind of the same philosophy I guess we take to our music.” If you were to look at the cover art for Joywave’s [...]
By Stef Siepel May 16, 2013 If you follow our Twitter feed , you will have seen this one pass: A short documentary by Red Bull Music Academy of twelve years of DFA . It's a must see. Not because of its in-depth look into the music industry (it isn't), nor for great reveals or juicy back stories (it hasn’t). But because - in all its lightness, fun, and short running time - you do get an idea of (and have to marvel at) how such a small [...]
Some nice festival news today. Body & Soul, which takes place in Ballinlough Castle, Co Westmeath, on June 21-23, has added James 'I'm not getting LCD Soundsystem back together' Murphy and Nicolas Jaar to its already pretty deadly lineup. Murphy will be doing a DJ set while Jaar will be [Read more]

There aren't many things more on trend right now than a Brooklyn synth-pop duo, which is good news for Holy Ghost because that happens to be exactly what they are. Having impressed with 20112s self-titled debut album the pair are back armed with a new record, Dynamics , set for release this autumn. It's first single, 'Dumb Disco Ideas', is a glorious, glorious thing. It starts in modest LCD Soundsystem-esque pop song trappings and over the course of its eight minutes develops into something utterly transcendent. The video, which delightfully uses New York [...]

We've been waiting for quite some time for a new Holy Ghost! track. Our fantasy has just been fulfilled yesterday with the release of 'Dumb Disco Ideas' by the delightful duo's from almighty DFA stable. It's brilliant, and still holds the almighty 4 measures gold algo-rhythm to its beats. You can still feel the aura of LCD Soundsystem in everything they do at DFA. For sure. Join them on tour with New Order this July, full tour details + Passport mp3s below... Click here to view the embedded video. [...]
It's kind of a stretch to connect James Murphy's most recent dismissal of an LCD Soundsystem reunion with the release of “ Get Lucky ", which happened within a few days of each other, but it's still worth noting. After all, it has now been seven years since Murphy waited "seven years and fifteen days" (another reference from a self-consciously referential band, this time to German trance outfit Groove Coverage's "7 Years and 50 Days" from the year before) to play Daft Punk at his house party. Even if Murphy says, once and for all, that [...]

Wonky disco hypnotists and New York City natives HOLY GHOST bring us a very intriguing time lapse based video for their latest track 'Dumb Disco Ideas'. For some reason the vocals here remind me of WILCO 's Jeff Tweedy, kind of sounds like a funkified version of the band's song 'Heavy Metal Drummer'. What we get here is that signature DFA RECORDS sound consisting of crunchy, bouncing drum hits complimented by energetic bass and stabbing guitars + of course quirky songwriting and subtle pop hooks. Good on the lads for producing such a beautifully simplistic and [...]
Os MESA lançaram esta Segunda-feira o seu novo álbum − Pés que sonham ser cabeças . Este é já o quinto álbum de uma banda que já sofreu algumas alterações na sua formação, contando sempre com João Pedro Coimbra e tendo agora Rita Reis como vocalista. Esta disco de nome peculiar, onde se "quis mudar a identidade sonora dos MESA, sem contudo rasgar com o passado", contou com a masterização de Alan Douches, que já colaborou com nomes tão sonantes como Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Beirut ou LCD Soundsystem. Desta empatia com Rita Reis surgiram então 13 [...]

Holy Ghost! have returned with a new single titled "Dumb Disco Ideas." Sitting at 8-minutes long, it's a expansive disco joint that definitely takes a bit from their idols/ DFA mates, LCD Soundsystem. It's the lead single off their upcoming album Dynamics . Listen to the new song and enjoy a cool Ben Fries directed video for it below.
The beat-making beach boys Classixx crammed all the poolside panache and warm-weather vibes of SoCal into one delightful debut, Hanging Gardens . Since their 2009 debut single I'll Get You , nu-disco fans have been waiting patiently, feeding on little more than a few remixes and sparse releases like Holding On from February, for the duo of Michael David and Tyler Blake to surrender their sultry sounds en masse . Finally sated, fans have 12 tracks of instant Classixx to [...]
With a mammothly eclectic lineup of world class talent spread across three European tour dates, THE XX 's 'Night & Day' run of shows was always guaranteed to be a herculean and very special undertaking. The plan was simple, to run three large XX curated concerts in Lisbon, Berlin and London spanning entire days and featuring performances from the likes of JOHN TALABOT , MOUNT KIMBIE , JAMES MURPHY ( LCD SOUNDSYSTEM ), JESSIE WARE , KINDNESS , MYKKI BLANCO , POLICIA , SOLANGE and of course JAMIE XX [...]
