Date Wednesday, Feb 1st Location Emos Doors 700 pm Tickets $14 from Frontgate If you're looking for a show to take you back in time, all the way back to the late 90s Emo scene, then perhaps this is where you'll need to be. I can't vouch for some of the singers doing their solo gig, but I hear they were a big [...]

Date 1/19/12 Location Antones Doors 7pm Tickets Sold Out! Superb show going down on Thursday night at the legendary Antone's downtown. Headliners Mountain Goats should be enough to get you there, but openers Nurses should convince you to get there early. I'm sure you could find some discount tickets on craigslist or via a scalpar as [...]

[ Aus Music ] For Lee Jones, The Moose Mingles EP is a little like coming home. Its the UK-born, Berlin-based producer's first solo record for Aus Music since 2008, having put out nearly every release under his own name on Will Saul's imprint until then. Ir was there he developed his organic-flavored yet sample-stuffed sound which was most fully explored on the 2008 album Electronic Frank . Guitars, [...]

Photo by Christopher Jonassen [ All Inn Records ] Close observers of dance music trends will remember the so-called Romanian invasion of late 2007-early 2008, when a pack of fresh-faced producers were catapulted into prominence with the patronage of Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, and others. The funny thing about invasions, though, is their effects are often felt long after the press no longer sounds the alarm. In the years following, [...]

If its wiggly ass shakin techno grooves you are after, the the Palam ep from our very own Anton Sellz, delivers by the bucket load.. Palma itself gets groovin with a whippy little groove, before swirling sparkling hooks come in, while big knock drums add energy and drive Shift has a disco feel to its beats, revolving sampled vocals move around the whirring synths, as the energy and funk step up a level, while distant sirens set off Whoopy comes in original and dub versions, with chunky drums, popping synths and spoken we dont give a.. vocals. obviously the dub [...]

[ Ostgut Ton ] Aside from the occasional reissue campaign, dance music artists are not known for spending much time with their back catalogs. Whether you chalk this up a mercurial, fashion-conscious culture or most producers' tendency to release and move on, many artists tend to identify with their past only as part of their CV (or legacy in the case of careerists). Ever [...]

Photo by Christopher Jonassen [Marketing Music] Gentleness is not a quality which receives much respect within dance music circles. After all, it's a musical environment that tends to elevate those who "bang" with the best of them, those who slather on the bass, and those who leave their tunes "raw as fuck." Aiming for the opposite is often treated as a sign of a producer's [...]

[ Fina Records ] It's still tough to accurately describe the Morning Factory sound even after they've wracked up five records in their discography. Sure, the Dutch production duo could be loosely described as making house music; but that encompasses their more aggressive, techno-flecked cuts on Yore, the jazzy hustle of their Pets Recordings EP, the blissful disco strut of "Fantasy Check" on Royal Oak, and the sheer range contained on their 20:20 Vision EP. What's clearer, though, is that [...]

Thirty-odd musicians. An array of instruments. One definitive sound. The Minor Mishap Marching Band notably grabs avant-garde styling by the brass, punctuating it with vivid percussion and whimsical woodwinds. On Saturday, September 24 th , Mishap will be releasing their debut album Minor Mishap at Antone's along with "Atarilectrorock" band Pong . Mishap performed at the first annual Honk! TX street band festival held in March, proving that their bark really is as big as their bite. They push the envelope of street performers, holding a [...]

Tickets are still on sale and we have a pair you can win . Details below. If you're like me and you've seen the Dodos and Luyas a few times each [...]

[20:20 Vision] If you wrote off Simon Baker as just another big-room tech-house producer after his 2007 single "Plastik" became a smash hit, you probably weren't listening close enough. It's true, the tune thrived on an ever-expanding arpeggio primed for substantial PAs. But its bewitching organ breakdown and the sheer variety of drum timbres on offer suggested he wasn't just a populist. Combining the high with the low has been a near [...]

The band is excited to announce two upcoming performances coinciding with the release and we are proud to stream another track today titled "Warning". Politics will be supporting Zoe [...]

Photo by Elizaveta Porodina [Wolf + Lamb] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) The opportunity to remix Lucky Paul's "Thought We Were Alone" proved to be more than just another offer for Gadi Mizrahi of Wolf + Lamb and Eli Gold of Soul Clap. The R&B-suffused beat music laid out on The Slow Ground EP on Somethinksounds, the debut release by the New Zealand born, Berlin-based producer, was already similar to the sonic grist of the American producers' own [...]

Since writing 20102s 2Q Report on overrated tracks I've spent some time pondering what makes something overrated. In years prior LWE has fingered DJs as the culprits behind overrated tracks, and with good reason: jocks are the ones playing and charting the tunes. But that overlooks two important parts of the equation - audiences and critics. If it feels wrong to blame club-goers for the music they have no explicit role in picking, think again. Dancers vote with their feet, choosing to reward or punish a DJ's selections with their presence on the dancefloor or decision [...]

I wish Sister Rosetta Tharpe and O.V. Wright were still around to hear Ruthie Foster's new album/DVD combo, "Ruthie Foster: Live at Antone's." Maybe they can, though. Foster certainly sounds as if she's singing for angels on covers of Tharpe's "Up Above My Head (I Hear Music in the Air)" and Wright's "A Nickel and [...]

To make the show completely local, and more enticing to you, the bill includes upcoming taletnts TV Torso , Not in the Face , and Watch Out [...]

[Aus Music] ( buy vinyl ) (buy mp3s tk) As with almost any genre tag, describing something as "bass music" seems to mean much less now than it did when producers first tried to distance themselves from the name dubstep. Initially it was just a different umbrella to stand under, one not affiliated with the wobbling, laddish strain that trades as dubstep these days. By now many are chafing at the term . Others such as Joy Orbison, Lone, SCB, and George FitzGerald simply pen tracks as closely aligned with house [...]

[ Play It Down ] Forgive me for stating something too true, but there are innumerable reasons to love Moodymann. Whether it's his wealth of stone cold classic tracks, endlessly quotable interviews or irrepressible live performances, Kenny Dixon Jr.'s alter ego has been an endless source of inspiration and entertainment for generations of producers and party-goers. In recent years many artists have more blatantly mimicked his aesthetic, in particular through the use of looped crowd noise. Producers have only grown bolder in their appropriations, with youANDme, Blawan, and others generously sampling KDJ's [...]

Photo by Itsuo Inouye [Curle Recordings] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) The last 12 months or so have been a great time to be an opening DJ. As house, techno and even bass music tempos continue to drift downwards - often below 120 in the case of house - warm-up crews have been blessed with a bumper crop of records suited to their task. Don't Look Down Now , the latest single from Anthony Collins, can be counted among their [...]
