We're sure all of you will have heard the house anthem "Destination Calabria" a thousand times. While Alex Gaudino ran away with the credit for that track, the original version of "Calabria" was actually by a Danish producer named Rune RK. His production talents have flown under our radar until now, but after hearing his track "Teacup" we're definitely going to keep a close eye on his work. His new single is an absolutely brilliant house tune which an incredibly infectious melody. It has gotten a lot of support from A-Track and Avicii while also being named an Essential Contender by Pete [...]
not sure what has driven me to revisit sparklehorse's good morning spider , but for the past couple of weeks i have been midly obsessed with it. its a brilliant record, so there's that, but i almost find more of a connection with it now than i did when it was released in 1999. for those that dont know the story surrounding this record, it was recorded after mark nearly died after a drug reaction of sorts, and then spent some time, after his recouperation, in a mental institution. with all that [...]
kelly hogan has been seemingly around forever, or is it just that im getting older and were aging at the same rate? who knows, and who really cares? kelly first came into my world back in 96 or 97 with her record, the whistle only dogs can hear . a record made up of originals and covers of artists such as palace brothers aka will oldham, vic chesnutt, and i also believe catherine irwin of freakwater, etc. this was another one of my late night stumbling into quaker goes deaf purchases which there have been many, if youve [...]

Great piece by Joseph Morpurgo on his favourite moments of Boards Of Canada's discography. Lots of great stuff to delve into and rediscover. It's been ages since I heard the lesser-known releases like Boc Maxima, Twoism, Disengage and the Peel Session . The author is right about The Campfire Headphase , it was a bit bland. The article's focus on early and rare material can come across as record collector arrogance at times and as a result the two most consistent and complete releases in BOC's cannon Music Has The Right To Children [...]
It's always a pleasure to hear a band move to the next level of their artistry. Sleep Thieves' newest EP Islands is a big step up for the band in my estimation. The electro-pop of debut album Heart Waves didn't grab me as much as I would have liked but the refinement on Islands is a big improvement. The songs are dipped in atmospherics and are all the better for it. The EP's five tracks are introduced by a brooding synth and vocal refrain on 'Out Of The Darkness', a [...]

Italians Do It Better were one of the first record labels to make a significant name for themselves through music blogs in the early days of the format circa 2007 and 2008. The label's well-maintained blogspot , which is still in effect, became essential reading for bloggers who were interested in obscure heritage and rarely-heard artefacts of music past which informed the label's own artists. The roster delved into Italo-disco, synth pop and moody dance music; all manners of shiny retro-obsessed electronic pop music. Here was an incestuous bunch of artists: Desire, Chromatics, Glass Candy, Professor Genius, Nite [...]

when i was 12, which was in 1986, my mother surprisingly let me purchase the beastie boys' licensed to ill . it might even been with my own money?!? who knows? but to say that record was a musical awakening would be a huge understatement. sure, i was 12 and didnt get all the references, or really couldnt relate to much of what they were talking about, but musically it changed my course of direction. over the course the three years tween licensed and pauls boutique i believe i re-bought the tape, but eventually got on that glowing disc.

In a time where psychedelic shoegaze rules the indie charts, it’s certainly refreshing to have ‘60s garage rock inspired Fletcher C. Johnson in the mix. The Brooklyn based gem’s latest “Lost My Head” is perfect rootbeer float music, making the most of the all too (personally) familiar theme of losing one’s mind. The intro’s doo woppy “bop bop bop” transports the listener to a happier time where catchiness and kitch are valued. Try to not tap your feet while simultaneously learning major life lessons: “A.) have fresh flowers around the house 2.) always bet on double jeopardy and C.) keep [...]
Per dirla un po' alla Nick Hornby, secondo me ci sono quei dischi che fanno da sottofondo all'innescare di qualcosa di talmente intenso di cui poi ti dimentichi, perchè ne escono di nuovi per cui impazzisci e non ti accorgi del 'vecchio amico che ti ha consigliato' fino a che non lo ritrovi per strada, quasi per caso. È un paragone messo un po' qui senza un senso compiuto però è un'ipotesi di una casistica discretamente possibile, a parere personale. Così com'è possibile incappare per l'ennesima volta in Something More Than The Last Time e Ooh Ooh a [...]

L'esposizione tautologica della questione dice che parlare dei propri gruppi preferiti è improbabile per la quantità di cose che si vorrebbero dire e la certezza che per la maggiore sono solo aneddoti, non pensieri riguardo canzoni o dischi. Quando un disco è uscito più di dieci anni fa quel calderone di aneddoti rischia anche di essere pieno fino all'orlo, quasi pronto a eruttare tutto in faccia al primo che nomina il nome della band o ancora peggio espone un parere negativo. Questo è perchè io (noi) mi affezziono tanto e troppo alle band con cui sono cresciuto e a quelle [...]
Ssense presents the first ever “shoppable” music video with Iggy Azalea, FKi, and Diplo for “I Think She Ready”. Go ahead and hover over any “S” you see on screen to shop the look. Pretty incredible fusion of tech and visuals. Not mad at all.
my love and appreciation for austin lucas' music has truly grown over the past year or so. to my ears, he's one of the best songwriters out there today - this song along with many of his only solidifies that opinion. i listen to his 2011 a new home in the old world on an almost daily basis and it keeps unfurling goodness on every listen. so highly recommended. this song was done for the site moon & back music .
