My review of The Black Heart Procession's Six ran today in the Boston Phoenix . Very similar to the Castanets release I reviewed recently, Six is a very dark, moody album, though with a little more of an autumnal twist. It somehow manages to be morose and a little bit fun, and along side the recent cold weather, this album put me in the right mood to come to terms with the fall. Fern Knight's Seven Years of Severed Limbs has [...]
The ninth annual DC Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music kicked off last night and continues until Sunday at multiple venues. Tonight's action involves two shows back to back: At Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage will be a trio of local acts Nine Strings, Pilesar, Mind Over Matter Music Over Mind, and The Twenty-First Century Chamber Ensemble. That's a free show, beginning at 6pm. The evening concludes at 9pm at the Velvet Lounge (915 U Street NW) with a program that ranges from insane [...]
So this is actually my last full week living in DC, and it might also be my last week to do a "This Week In DC" post. Not completely sure about the second part of that statement yet, though.... we'll see. Anyway, here's what's going on in the DC area this week. If I've missed anything, please feel free to drop a note in the comments and I'll try to add. As always, my picks are in bold . Sunday, 9/20 9:30 [...]

Sylvester's Over and Over is by far one of my favorite classic dance tunes. Released in 1977 on Fantasy Records , the Ashford and Simpson penned anthem was a staple for D J Larry Levan and his faithful Paradise Garage acolytes. It too has found a permanent place in my nightly "party records" rotation. Of course with a singer of Sylvester's caliber, it is easy for the vocal performance to outshine the musical arrangement, but to me, the latter wins in [...]

Ich weiss nicht, ob ich hiermit viel zu spät dran bin. Ich musste mich ja erstmal etwas davon erholen, bevor ich hier darüber berichten kann: Soulwax bzw. 2 many DJs haben bei Rob Da Bank auf BBC1 ein unglaubliches Set von 420 Song-Intros in 60 Minuten gespielt. Total irre. Am 19. März spielen 2 Many DJs bei Donky in der Alten Börse in Zürich, eigentlich ein Pflichttermin. Leider werden sie solche Tricks dort aber ziemlich sicher nicht vorführen. Oder doch?

The Dewaele Brothers took over Rob Da Bank's show for two hours on Monday and being known for their eclectic mixes and deep knowledge of music of the last 35 years, they decided to take a different take on things. For the first hour, it was a non-stop intros round where they played the intros of 420 songs in a row. It sounds like they're taking the piss but it's a curious listen much like that hidden UNKLE track on Psyence Fiction (but that only had 58 songs so up yours Lavelle). The hour [...]

Интеллигентные бельгийские хулиганы, братья Dewalee, заперли радио-диджея Rob Da Bank в уборной, и вместо него вышли в эфир BBC Radio 1 c двумя дерзкими миксами. "Нууу, вначале у нас микс из вступлений к различным трекам - на час. А потом, когда мы всех как следует разогрели, у нас расслабляющий микс из легкого диско. Хотя и он никакой не расслабляющий, а наоборот очень энергичный," - говорят знаменитые братья, известные также как Soulwax и 2many djs. 2many djs: Introversy - 420 intros in 60 minutes mix + Disco mix (Megaupload, 165 mb) NEIL [...]
Bobby Kotick CEO of Activision Blizzard the makers of "Guitar Hero" has confirmed the development of a spinoff game called "DJ Hero" saying: "We have this product called 'DJ Hero' coming out later this year, which is a turntable that you actually can play competitively and spin discs and mix songs,". Oh no, you know what this means. If every douche bag with a cracked version of Ableton thinks he's a DJ now, this time next year people like my Mum will be a "DJ Hero" in their very own living room mixing the groovy inoffensive beats of [...]
