Parece que o planeta Terra desviou a órbita, afastando o centro do Sol para os Daft Punk . A notícia é sobre Kanye West , mas temos de falar na dupla parisiense: o rapper de Chicago já iniciou as gravações para o sexto LP e esteve no estúdio com a maior coqueluche da electrónica mundial. Yeezy terá visitado o estúdio da banda em Paris, durante as gravações de Random Access Memories , e do encontro saíram pelo menos duas músicas. Aparentemente os Daft Punk tocaram bateria e programaram umas drum machines, tendo Kanye lançado versos [...]
When you watched Michael Jackson and his zombified crew showing off their undead dance moves in the iconic video for "Thriller," or looked on as multiple Kylies emerged one after another in Michel Gondry's renowned clip for the Kylie Minogue single "Come Into My World," you were undoubtedly entertained, but were you aware that you [...]

Idioteque - Radiohead @ HP Pavilion, San Jose, 2012-April-11. The incredible lighting as seen in the picture above is by Andi Watson ( interview ) who has been doing Radiohead's lighting/stage design since almost the beginning of when the band first started touring nationally. Thank you W.A.S.T.E. for the incredible seats. One of the best Radiohead shows I have ever seen, and that's mainly because of the lighting.

Naked Race, Roskilde 2011 [...]
Nothing if not creatures of habit, the State team make the pilgrimage to the bleak campsite landscape to see the annual Festival Radio Naked Race. It really wouldn’t be a Roskilde proper without it and our arrival is perfectly timed with the starters orders. There’s a wall of water this year, sponsored by the very visible Drink More Water team at Roskilde - probably one of the smartest ideas at the festival. You can’t even go near a stage without a volunteer handing you water and despite how easy getting beer is, and the amount going around, there’s very few [...]

So, how was it? With all the disclaimers from my guide in mind, you might already have guessed that Roskilde didn’t exactly blow me away in terms of music. Their decision to (practically) ban all major electronic music camps in the camping area - camps, mind you, who cared enough about Roskilde to invest thousands of dollars professional sound and lighting - didn’t help either. Although the latter was a major blow to the warm-up festivities, it is still the former that keeps tens of thousands of people coming back year after year. With a lineup that seemed to receive [...]
Sonar 2011 - Thursday | Friday | Saturday The daytime line-up on Saturday fails to offer much by way of stunning material. There seems to be an organised lull, perhaps to allow the jaded Sonar patrons to catch some much needed rest. Gilles Peterson , however, still manages to woo the audience with his eclectic mix of global music. Few people have as broad a taste in music as Peterson. His set consists of a worldwide musical trip with stops at Caribbean dancehall, Spanish samba, and North American soul. Playing at [...]

From handshake drugs and endless Estrella Damm on La Rambla to further lawless debauchery at Razzmatazz, a slew of Gaudí strewn across its sprawling centre all atop a blissfully blithe attitude, Barcelona is the city of dreams, if your dreams are relatively raunchy and meritorious of a selection of BBFC restrictive classification stickers. A city so inherently diverse of course needs a focal point for its excessive energy and excitement, and the multi-faceted multi-sensory overload that the quite simply exceptional Sónar has seemingly become constitutes an integral part of the shady counterculture of El Raval Barrio and beyond... [...]

Set amidst the sprawling, urbane urbanity of Barcelona, Sónar is a multi-sensory extravaganza as much as it is a "festival". From hazy Estrella Damm-fuelled sunsets in the Ciutat Vella to skull-thumping late nights and sunrises amongst the imposing architecture of L'Hospitalet, the event encompasses so much musically, culturally, experientially in such a relatively concise period of time, said period of time engulfing much of next week. The line up perpetually finds itself at the fore of forward-thinking, tending to contort through a plethora of genres, and the Barcelona leg of this year's bash spanning Thursday 16th, Friday 17th [...]
Multi-talented cult artist will close the Deer Park Stage on Sunday night...

"Vivid Live is a festival of music and art held annually at The Sydney Opera House. In 2011 it will run from May 27th to June 5th and will be curated by Modular's Steve Pavlovic". The exciting prospect of The Cure performing way down in the Southern Hemisphere within one of Australia`s most iconic buildings is pure brilliance. Sure, Robert Smith has taken the band on numerous world tours throughout the last three decades, but there`s something quite special surrounding the `Vivid Live` Festival. Hosted at the splendid Sydney Opera House on 31st May [...]

Witness something special on June 1st at The Roundhouse The grand master of the dark video arts Chris Cunningham takes over The Roundhouse in Camden in 3 weeks time to showcase all-new material never before seen by man. This exclusive live show, brought to you by Soundcrash Productions, will see Chris Cunningham mix brand new video and audio on 3 enormous screens inside the North London music institution. From a very early acts such as Kraftwerk and Vangelis inspired in Chris Cunningham a love for electronic music, which [...]

As winter in New York City slowly melts away around us, festival season looms larger and larger on the horizon, with events increasing in frequency all around the world along with the rising temperatures. One such event that is particularly noteworthy is Sonar Festival of Advanced Music and Technology, which takes place in the heart of Barcelona, Spain. Sonar was without a doubt one of the highlights of last summer’s musical adventures, and we cannot wait to see what the extraordinary festival has to offer this June 16, 17, and 18, 2011. [...]

The ever-incredible and enigmatic Chris Cunningham's new, slightly disturbing new site has just gone live, along with just two tour dates; one for the UK, one for Spain. If we know Chris Cunningham (which we wish we did, personally) then these dates will be multi-media extravaganzas not to be missed. Check out the site. And if you need a refresh on what his work looks like... The man [...]

Al parecer, mientras Faris Badwan prepara junto con su banda lo que será el tercer álbum de The Horrors , también es lo suficientemente brillante y talentoso como para alimentar creativamente otro proyecto de pop sinfónico llamado Cat's Eyes junto con la canadiense multi-instrumentalista, Rachel Zeffira, con quien -por si fuera poco- compartió su primera presentación en vivo en la basílica de San Pedro, allá en la Ciudad del Vaticano, frente a siete cardenales de alto rango durante una misa de la tarde. Aquí les dejamos el registro de dicho suceso, pero no sin antes [...]

Dreizehn Jahre lang ist es ruhig um den Spoken-Word-Pionier Gil Scott-Heron, dann vermeldet er: "I'm New Here". Das Comeback-Album schlägt ein wie eine Bombe - und treibt munter neue Blüten. " I'm New Here " dürfte sich ein Plätzchen auf so mancher Endjahres-Bestenliste ergattern und die künstlerische Wiederauferstehung der Legende Gil Scott-Heron endgültig besiegeln. Auch der Regisseur Chris Cunningham meldet sich in diesem Jahr zurück. Der Brite, der in den Neunzigern der Musik von Aphex Twin, Björk oder Madonna feinste Videokleidchen auf den Leib [...]
