No sooner have we looked to northwestern Spain and to next month's Primavera Sound than we're back in Barcelona – at least musically speaking – as we turn to next month's Sónar . The one and indeed only International Festival of Advanced Music and New Media Art this year commemorates its 20th anniversary, and to celebrate it boasts a line up of utmost refinement pooled from the spheres of electronica and organica alike. As with our every Fest Bests feature, we were unable to include everyone we're restively awaiting over in Cataluña and as such the [...]
For the 2013 edition of Record Store Day , Nicolas Jaar took to remixing both Grizzly Bear ’s “Sleeping Ute” and Brian Eno ’s “Lux,” which appeared on an exclusive RSD 12”. Of course, the vinyl sold out instantly. In usual fashion, Jaar takes his time in letting his work unfold, keeping your attention with a stream of sparse atmospheric noise. Perhaps in respect for the original, he allows “Lux” to remain ambient throughout while his rework of “Sleeping Ute” gradually evolves into a clean, guitar-driven beat reminiscent of Darkside, Jaar’s collaborative project [...]

![TORRES DEBUT SHOWS DARK SIDE OF HEARTBREAK [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4812391_lg.jpg)
Ruminating on Torres’ debut, some lines from Lady Lamb the Beekeeper's "Florence Berlin" surfaced: “Maybe hearts are better, bitter, battered, filthy, vulgar - maybe that’s why the broken, lonely ones, they hold on a little longer.” Mackenzie Scott, aka Torres , has crafted a debut that holds on long after it’s over, probably because it’s the sound of her publicly ripping off a Band-Aid, having first been battered, broken, and lonely. Scott wisely pushes her voice front and center here, and it’s both disarming and brilliant. Raw and haunting, [...]
Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson has hit out at music legend Clive Davis for 'spreading false information' about her in his new tell-all memoir. The 30-year-old star wrote a damming open letter today after the record executive claimed that she broke into 'hysterical sobbing' when he demanded that her smash hit 'Since U Been Gone' be included on her album, Breakaway. Kelly - whose stellar career was guided by Davis after she won American Idol - lashed out, saying: 'I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my [...]
I had a feeling last year that Tame Impala's stunning new album Lonerism would lend itself well to remixing, but I really wasn't prepared for just how diverse some of them have been. From Memory Tapes picking up on the crisis at the heart of " Feels Like We Only Go Backwards " to producer veteran Todd Rundgren taking on "Elephant" and teaching these kids a thing or two about psychedelia. Now the former of those tracks gets a remix from Dave Harrington, who you may know from Darkside, his project with Nicolas Jaar. Harrington's remix [...]
Dave Harrington, formerly of ARMS and currently one half of the brilliant Darkside collaboration with Nicolas Jaar , just sent over this excellent, balearic "paradise edit" of Tame Impala's "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" » Dave says: hey guys... i just threw a quick and dirty, unsolicited Tame Impala edit i made up on my soundcloud...i kept it in the bottom of my hard drive for like a month and then I met the Tame Impala dudes in Australia on tour and just had to play it at [...]
Tame Impala 's great "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" receives this lithe, totally blissed-out "paradise edit" from Darkside's Dave Harrington , who turns the whole thing inside-out, exposing the rhythmic core and driving it deep into territory that's otherwise untouched on Lonerism . [ via ] The post listen: Tame Impala - "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" (Dave Harrington paradise edit) appeared first on Soft Signal .
New "paradise edit" of Tame Impala 's " Feels Like We Only Go Backwards " by regular Nicolas Jaar collaborator + one half of the great Darkside , Dave Harrington :
Pelos herdeiros de Sofia. E aqui, não são realmente muitas as mudanças, principalmente aqui, mantendo-se claramente e bem vincada a costela conceptual que orienta todo o projecto Darkside of Innocence . Eventualmente, nem faria sentido de outra forma e Pedro Remiz, o mentor do projecto, sabe-lo bem. Há muito que o sabe, de tal maneira que tem transformado Darkside of Innocence num enorme e interessante campo de experimentação. Sucessor do EP “ Lux Omega ” (Grailight Productions, 2011), "Xenogenesis" continua a fazer jus à sua principal influência, um brutal e imparável black [...]
Sorti il y a environ un an sur le label de Nicolas Jaar, Clown & Sunset, l’EP Darkside réunit le guitariste Dave Harrington et l’animal Jaar. Trois tracks sur l’EP, trois bombes, avec une préférence cependant pour la non-chalance enivrante de ce “ A3 ”. On est scotchés par ce morceau qui fait partie de ces pépites qu’on a l’impression de redécouvrir à chaque écoute : signe de qualité mais surtout de durabilité. Un “quasi-classique”. —————————— —————————— —————————— ——————— Released about a year ago on Nicolas Jaar’s [...]

Growing up in a small town with not a lot to see and experience, hating the way too long winter, longing for a big city to live in someday, I always wondered why people would move to Austria. So far, most of the ones I talked to moved for the romantic love-reason or the pragmatic [...]
![Dj Skyjacker presents top charts 2012 [House/Deep House]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4725543_lg.jpg)
2012 was the year of 80s drum machines , ocean-deep bass lines and the bloke called Maceo Plex . And everyone else who imitated his sound. The average BPM lost a 10 beats per minute, so even the most lazy clubbers would be able to nod along. Was it just us, or did the club culture become more grown up? Moving from dark basements to lunch-beats, daytime parties in the park and a sunday afternoon straight edge clubs. It was a year of DIY Vinyl labels , Club Mate and H20. [...]
J NICS is here with his latest 'tape 'DarkSide'. The project is arguably his best yet and it definitely has established him as one of South Florida's biggest up-and-comers. All production was handled by DJ Burn One.
Download: J NICS x DJ Burn One "Darkside" (w/ Freddie Gibbs, ¡Mayday! + more) J NICS has established himself as one of the South's most promising emcees, while DJ Burn One has emerged as one of the region's most sought-after producers. So it was only right that the two joined forces for their new collaborative album, Darkside, a 14 track original project featuring lead single Wonderland. All production on Darkside comes courtesy of DJ Burn One. Joining the Polar Bear Mack on the mic are the likes [...]
Alesso has enjoyed an incredible year as Years and City Of Dreams became some of 2012's most popular vocal anthems. The (barely) 21 year-old Swedish dance phenom also completed a demanding tour schedule as he traveled from Masquerade Motel in Miami to Coachella , EDC , Tomorrowland, and Milton Keynes Bowl, where he supported Swedish House Mafia . His new single, Clash , was released yesterday on Refune , and shows a bit of the darker side of Alesso, the likes of [...]
