Voted the Best Dance Event of 2012 at the UK Festival Awards, Global Gathering is often showered with praise for being one of the finest EDM festivals in the world. Up against stiff competition, the festival always manages to showcase a great mix of the mainstream and the underground, providing line-ups that offer something for everyone. Occupying a convenient weekend at the end of July, slap bang in the middle of the UK festival season, the first phase line up for the 2013 event has just been announced. Mainstage action comes from Example , [...]
Throughout the history of EDM, British names such as Cream , Ministry , Godskitchen and Gatecrasher have stormed the planet, from Ibiza to South America -global brands, all starting in small run-down buildings across this relatively small island. But while many of the big names still continue, with some sadly lost, there are some new kids on the block. Towering above them all is Digital Society , a trance night which this month saw its 6th Birthday celebration. A combination of a tight-knit, dedicated, enthusiastic group of people, [...]
We spoke to the connoisseurs of cutting-edge sounds.
Christine Abdelnour (1978, Parijs) is al sinds geruime tijd een zeer gewaardeerd saxofoniste in de improvisatiescene, die verder kijkt dan haar instrument alleen. Bij Christine klinkt het blaasinstrument bijna nergens zoals je het kent, en maakt deze - zoals ze vertelt in The Wire van oktober - een verlengstuk van haar lichaam. Dit vooral omdat de tonen deels worden bestuurd met de ademhaling. Door hiermee te experimenteren, alsmede met stiltes, tongtechniek en de microtonale mogelijkheden, weet ze constant te verrassen en verbazen. Dit jaar kwamen er al drie albums uit waarop zij acte de présence geeft, een [...]
![| Discos | Anne-James Chaton with Alva Noto and Andy Moor: Décade [Raster-Noton, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4473303_lg.jpg)
Décade é um trabalho a três. Anne-James Chaton junta-se a Alva Noto e a Andy Moor e juntos criaram uma proposta que surge no seguimento directo de Événements 09 , álbum de Chaton de 2011, também lançado na Raster-Noton. Quem conhece o trabalho do francês sentirá de imediato uma grande familiaridade, está-se perante mais uma dose de spoken word incansável, repetitiva e cativante. Para lá do CD áudio, Décade é ainda um livro: uma espécie de lista imensa com frases, esquemas e números. Um conjunto de elementos aparentemente aleatórios que aparecem em francês, inglês, italiano, português [...]

![Electric Zoo 2011 [Festival Report]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3711197_lg.jpg)
Music has been an important part of what I do for a while, but somehow, until now, I had never attended a real music festival. I'd gone to small day-long "festivals" like Download and Identity, but never one of the multi-day benders that everyone gets so excited about. Electric Zoo didn't seem to be a bad way to inaugurate myself into festival life, since it was happening nearby and at a time when it was possible to swing the trip. In addition, a lot of cool people I know were going, which meant the festival promised to be a [...]

If you haven’t decided which artists you’re going to see this weekend, let this guide you to the best of what EDM has to offer in 2011. Crookers sets are always unpredictable and each one is [...]

Esteemed Dutch progressive house DJ/producer Eelke Kleijn is a master of mood-setting beats, emotive melodies, and soothing vocals. Releasing his first EP in 2003 and establishing his own label, Outside the Box, in 2006, Eelke built his career on a strong foundation of artist albums, including Naturally Artificial in 2007 and Untold Stories in 2010. This year Eelke climbed to new heights with Markus Schulz proudly promoting his remix of Not The Same . Instilling a bottomless atmosphere around the deeply emotional vocals by Jennifer Rene, this tune exemplifies the kind of flowing [...]
And 2010 comes to a close. Another notch in the calendar and a time to look back and reminisce on the year and look forward to what's coming next. It's been lots of fun running this site over the past year and I've gotten to hear some great music and meet some amazing people. I can't wait to see what's in store for 2011. But one of the best things about the end of the year is looking back on all the music that your life memorable. I had a hard time putting together a collection [...]
Richmond had so many amazing albums come out this year, there was no way I could lump them in with national releases and narrow them down to 10. So I made a completely separate list. And it was still hard to do. Here are the best albums Richmond musicians had to offer for 2010. LONG ARMS - TO HOLD YOU If there was one Richmond album that I listened to over and over again, it was Long Arms. These guys know how to make a rock song that leave you begging [...]
