Electronic music, media, and visual arts will be showcased for five blissful days at various venues ranging from The Paramount, Fred Wildlife Refuge, The Crocodile, Neumos, Re-Bar, and The Woods. DB started eight years ago and has celebrated the likes of Modeselektor, FlyLo, Simian Mobile Disco, Claude Von Stroke, Trentemoller, Diplo, Ellen Allien, Gui Boratto, Apparat, and hundreds more. For electronic music enthusiasts, it doesn't get any better than this. In addition to the artists themselves, many conferences will be held Wednesday-Friday, touching on [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending September 18 - 24. It's no surprise that I made this "big" band as my #1 song this week. It's on my iPod listening rotation and I think it's better than their last single. There are new debuts from Justice, No Joy and Zoo Legacy. A re-entry from Atlas Sound which they release another new single. Check out the Top 10. This Week Last [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending September 11 - 17. After being the charts for so many weeks. Bruce Peninsula has finally made it to #1. These tracks aren't tracks from the upcoming album. More like the single that came out during the spring/summer called Bruce Trail Fire Sale . I just love the song and the music video to Salesman which reminds me of BSS's Almost Crimes with a hint of that 1960s look. While new debuts from Coldplay (Love the new single), Florence + The Machine and [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending September 4 - 10. There is a new #1 single and it's a band from Edmonton and getting alot of buzz in the blogosphere. So check out Purity Ring's Belispeak. Tokyo Police Club are in this week's chart due to their Ten Songs Ten Hours Ten Days Ten Years. So I picked three of the covers that I liked. Other debuts are Dum Dum Girls and Mathias Kom from the great compilation of Folk Songs of Canada Now . Check [...]
So, every so often (and hopefully more often) Earmilk throws a party. In the case laid before us, I - Blake aka ElectBlake aka Amperror am a resident so I feel the need to share the opportunity to come see me live (and hopefully say Hi) With each party I'll be making a promo mix, and in the lighter vein of the party it's mostly dance. Perfect for sunsets, gatherings of good people and dancing shoes. I a big taste of the mix in this weeks Night Rumours - Week 4 , but I'll re-iterate [...]
Sorry for the delay. I was busy covering the Ottawa Folk Festival this past weekend. Well the summer is almost ending and everyone will be back to their normal lives. Here is this week's music chart for the week ending August 28 to September 3. Finally Ottawa's Roberta Bondar has made to the #1 spot being stuck at #2 for alot of weeks. The song is taken from the Bruised Tongue compilation during Ottawa Explosion. Since the summer is ending why not have this be the end of summer kind [...]
ke$ha x skeet x katy perry Skeet Skeet (Trevor McFedries) is self-proclaimed "the tightest guys you'll ever meet on the internet." Hailing from city of angels and being in the music game requires a certain level of cockiness which Skeet is not lacking. Skeet mixes and matches electro beats, pop vocals, and rap verses to create said Trap-House. His music, which is definitely party oriented, sounds like something we'd hear on the radio except for a certain dirtiness that he manages to underlay in his tracks. Besides creating sick [...]
Wow this is #70 for the music singles chart! Anyways it's been a slow week. So there is no change in Top four besides new entries from Cowlick and Born Gold (used to be Gobble Gobble). Still loving the new Feist song. Check out this week's top 10. Edit This Week Last Week Total Weeks Artist Songs [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending August 14 - 20. It's not surprise with the release of the new Feist single sits at the #1 spot this week. While there are new debuts from dancey electronica acts of Tycho and Poolside. Poolside for one does a cover of Neil Young's Harvest Moon. While Roberta Bondar and Bruce Peninsula are still stuck in their spot. Check out the music video for Salesman. Finally decided to add Foster The People in the chart since Pumped Up Kicks is becoming the summer [...]

![Albums of 2011: Second quarter [Top 25]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3559171_lg.jpg)
It's July 1st and we are already half-way through 2011. Besides being Canada Day, it's already the start of the summer and end of spring. Now I will do my Top 25 albums that came out in the second quarter. Since I made a mistake in the first quarter making it four months. Albums that came out on April to June. There will be some albums from the first quarter that will be in this list. Here is the Second Quarter Top 25. [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Foster the People, Belle & Sebastian, Peter Bjorn & John "The Generationals - When They Fight, They Fight" What's so good? New Orleans duo Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer are two guys that make the twist ‘n’ shout of the late 1960s even more enrapturing and joyful than typical sunshine pop bands nowadays. Even though Con Law was released in 2009, this campy 10-track album seems more relevant now [...]
Foster the People are just killing it right now. I know the pulse team and the subscribers out there are in general are very big fans of FTP... and now The Knocks take "Pumped Up Kicks" and make it sparkle and shine for the dancefloor. You are welcome, enjoy. Add this to your next BBQ mix, and watch grandma shake it. Looking forward to seeing them again at Stubbs in ATX in July! [...]

With a powerful and impressive 10 track LP entitled “Torches” looming, then this is the honorary follow up album that MGMT should have possibly styled, produced and penned. But as they didn’t sadly, then likewise, Foster The People have swooped along, continued refining their own craft solely and have evidently patented their own original L.A. [...]
With a powerful and impressive 10 track LP entitled “Torches” looming, then this is the honorary follow up album that MGMT should have possibly styled, produced and penned. But as they didn’t sadly, then likewise, Foster The People have swooped along, continued refining their own craft solely and have evidently patented their own original L.A. sound into a full bodied ten-for-ten portait of audio-picturesque outlays and part screamy & part dreamy melodic sing-a-longs... And all with some instantaneous first plays rings that will wear out your CDJ repeat functions or annoy your internal MP3 repeat button brain patterns! [...]
Now I know you're probably thinking, "I love Foster The People, but not this song AGAIN....," but I swear, this post is more about Gigamesh than it is Foster The People. I am obsessed with Gigamesh. Every song he remixes turns into synth-dance-gold. Dude needs to finish his EP, leave Minnesota and move to LA to be my friend. He's probably best known as the guy who did the remix of Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me," which took over the radio a couple of years ago. I've been listening to his remix of "Pumped Up Kicks" non-stop for the past [...]
