Probablement une des meilleures sorties de cette année, le trio anglais FUNKYSTEPZ s'associe au label français le plus novateur actuellement, MOVELTRAXX pour « Amsterdam, Girls Go Wild » un véritable hit mêlant UK Bass et Trap. La touche « Funkystepz » bien que reconnaissable laisse tout de même plus de place a un style plus Hip-Hop propre au Movelt Posse. Côté remixes c'est un sans faute avec BIG DOPE P et son approche Footwork/Hip-Hop imparable ne fait que [...]
With remixes of Daughter, a producer needs to make sure they can fully take advantage of the faint vocals to create their perfect song. With this remix, BlackWhite Elektronika have done exactly that, creating a very simple track. Nothing particularly revolutionary, but there doesn't need to be. This remix does everything it sets out to [...]
"This is our first and last time in London" Kaizers Orchestra ringleader and founder Janove Ottesen confesses before a seething throng, only to then revert to the safe haven that is his default Norwegian. I needless to say can't even so much as begin to comprehend that last bit, but he seems pleased with himself as he stands proud on the cusp of the stage – a Scandi hybridity of Mike Patton and Alan Smith. The Bryne ensemble, now in its fourteenth year of existence having formed at the dawning of this contemporary millennium, may be [...]
Netherlands duo, Detroit Swindle , have made quite the name for themselves this past year. Their highly proclaimed Starvin EP , previously released on Saints & Sonnets , has taken the underground dance music scene by storm. Now at the top of all things house, Lars and Maarten, have teamed up with Tsuba Records to bring us a brand new EP. Together, they bring us their signature finely-tuned deep house that is known for its tasteful sprinkling of mo-town and jazz. The opening track [...]
Longtime readers may remember me trying to brainwash you with the song "Amsterdam" from Griffin House's 2004 album, Lost & Found (sadly such posts were lost in the 2005 deleted archive disaster). Griffin House is making his new album available ... Continue reading

I've been quietly creeping on Australia's new offering YesYou for a while now. This talented muso-duo based in Brisbane are still flying with one wing firmly nestled under the radar, but my trusty crystal ball tells me that they will get progressively bigger as the year rolls on. An intoxicatingly addictive song, watch their video for "Amsterdam" below.
This is inspired music. For such a newcomer to the electronic world, Spanish beatmaker Sau Poler has created a quasi-masterpiece for his first release ever. Poler only started making music one year ago, simply as a way to explore his needs and to have some fun. Influenced by artists like Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Four Tet, Bonobo and all sorts of genres (mainly hiphop and electronica), he managed to create his very own style, embodied in this first release, "A Soundless Echo." Though [...]
Wavefiles is dope party in Amsterdam, they've been some throwing some great editions, last month they had their XL edition with artists like Lunice, Girl Unit, Boeboe. Big names that is.

Of course you don't want to miss this so we're giving away 22 tickets ! All you have to do is contact us and tell us [...]
De thermometer weergeeft -10 in het normaliter verlaten pand op het NDSM-terrein. Koud, maar iedereen is er op voorbereid: Beanies, handschoenen en sjaals. Ook Lockdown heeft zich erg goed voorbereid op deze avond, okay niet op de kou, maar facilitair is het de meest luxe rave die je gaat tegenkomen. Toiletten, foodstands, zijn je peuken op, dan kun je die hier zelfs kopen. Maar daar draaien raves niet om, het gaat om de muziek. Lockdown heeft het Britse label Numbers uitgenodigd om ons van het vaste land eens te laten zien wat een rave inhoudt. Jackmaster en Spencer hebben ook [...]
Lockdown gaat terug naar zijn roots. De feesten begonnen niet braaf op het NDSM terrein, zoals het festival vorige zomer, maar als illegale feesten op uiteenlopende locaties. Aankomende zaterdag (23 maart) vindt een nieuwe, weliswaar legale, editie plaats. Het label van Jackmaster: Numbers staat deze avond centraal. Hij heeft uit eigen stal Spencer meegenomen, Swamp 91 labelbaas Loefah, Dubstepgrootheid Kode9 en meester achter de draaitafels: Dj EZ. Audio Culture en Cinnaman zullen de koude loods opwarmen. Meer house, minder dubstep. De exacte locatie in Amsterdam wordt pas een paar uur voor aanvang vrijgegeven via het nummer 06-34520491. Het feest duurt [...]
Tweet Wevals wobble but they don't fall down. Wait, no; that's weebles isn't it? What's a weeble anyhow? Are they anything to do with weevils and do they wobble? Urgh, I was a lot less confused before I started writing this. It's just like that time I interviewed to become an engineer and discovered (mid interview) my lack of knowledge of physics, mechanics, maths and well, everything to do with engineering (I still don't know what they do). Urgh. Dutch duo Weval [...]
Dag nummer drie staat helemaal in het teken van deephouse in Paradiso, met namen als Tale of Us en Tensnake, vooral de Nederlandse garde liet vanavond goed horen waarom Amsterdam thuishaven is van de Nederlandse deephouse. Homework Tom Waist en Zip Stolk, Amsterdammers geboren en getogen zijn residents in Chicago Social Club. En hebben duidelijk kennis van wat het het publiek wil horen. Het duo knalt een zeer energieke set in elkaar met een voorkeur voor de nieuwere [...]
Amsterdam producer Saux has released his latest EP, titled "Bring Me Home" - and the world is a better place for it. Smooth acoustics, light electronic strings and a smooch of funk. The first track, ITAY, is one of the most delicate compositions I've heard from a producer in 2013. Simple, elegant and powerful. Vocalist Sjaak Thissen nails it throughout the EP, and this intro sets the stage. The beautiful thing about Saux's work is he creates music you can live to. It can accompany everything from doing work, to a wake and bake, a conversation, a meal or even [...]
Continuons la semaine avec un peu plus de légèreté et le nouveau projet du jeune Klangkuenstler en collaboration avec la superbe vocaliste: Alice Phoebe Lou. Sur ce tout nouveau titre “Amsterdam” , le jeune Berlinois annonce un tournant dans sa démarche artistique puisqu’il prévoit de s’associer à la jeune chanteuse de Capetown pour une série de plusieurs productions, ce qui ne peut nous rendre qu’enthousiaste lorsqu’on écoute le résultat. En effet, l a manoeuvre est parfaitement exécutée, les beats folks troublants du compositeur associés à ces vocalises justement dosées nous reposent bien [...]
You can tell a lot about someone from the lengths he or she would go to in order to get laid. Cyndi Lauper drove all night, but at least her effort resulted in one of her best singles, her final Top 10 hit. Marty wasn't so lucky. A few days after my return to Melbourne five weeks ago, Marty, a 23-year-old guy from Estonia who is studying in Australia, entered my life. When he told me that he was about to go on a two-week holiday to California, I actually felt a twinge of [...]

Ecco il suo commento: "Siamo molto contenti di poter collaborare con Amsterdam, una delle capitali della musica e città tra le più amate [...]
Apologies for the lack of posts recently, my laptop went to heaven and I've been twiddling my fingers waiting on a new one this whole time. Anyway, I'd like to return to normality with this rather clever piece of music sent from an Amsterdam based, Australian born producer going my the name of Point and Shoot . I'm particularly loving the melt-in-the-mouth vocal samples on this, stream below:
Amsterdam's got soul! I'll admit I was a little late to the game, coming across these two around October...right around the time this podcast for OFF Recordings came out. So much damn swing and class oozing from their productions and music taste - talk about two-steppin on the dance floor. Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets [...]
