Richie is back in Ibiza for another season of his highly successful residency Enter at Space. Enter has one of the slickest marketing campaigns on the island, we just love that black dot, so simple, so effective. We were raving at Used + Abused at Ushuaia last week and the Enter promo team were out in force adorning clubbers with black dot tattoo’s – they looked so good we were actually considering getting a real one and made sure not to wash it off for a good few days (we were showering though we promise). So, it’s back on Thursday [...]
We're really excited about the latest giveaway we've got for you - a pair of tickets to The Meoko Project .

King Khan & The Shrines have unveiled the very first new track Born to Die , from the brand new album Idle No More, set for release on September 3rd on Merge Records . A mere six years since the release of their last album, What Is!? , the new record is full of sweat-drenched, ass shaking, groovy, psyched-out numbers, complete with rip roaring horn lines, southern fried guitar riffs and lysergic melodies.

Australia seems to be leading the game in forward-looking music evidenced by our favorite up-and-comers Flume and Flight Facilities . To add to the list, Sydney-based producers Rüfüs have just posted what is sure to be the future sound of electronic music. Combining elements of garage, deep house and an old school deadmau5-like trance beat with a indie-like emotional vocal, this song was made for fans of all genres of house music alike. The single will be released on iTunes June 21 st as their second single from debut album Atlas available August 9 th [...]
Reborn for 2013, Ted Nilsson , CJay Swayne and Errol Reid take the Crystal Waters & Neal Conway written, Basement Boys produced 1991 classic of ‘Gypsy Woman’ - and cover it spectacularly as fresh house & garage cut called ‘Homeless.’ Sharing the bill (from Amsterdam) is Martin Garrix’s amazing cut entitled ‘Animals.’ Fuelled with all the energy from a war that the a**holes and witches with never win (in a typical 9-5 work environment), ‘Animals’ triumphs over production evilness any given day of any week. TED NILSSON, CJAY [...]
Hey '90s kids, remember Seal ? The Grammy Award-winning, Heidi Klum-marrying British R&B singer best known for his #1 hit single Kiss from a Rose is back, and he sounds as good as ever. His breakout hit Crazy , on his 1991 self-titled album, just got a major facelift from a pair of super-talented producers, my main man Monsieur Adi and the LA-based duo Bixel Boys . Both remixes are the perfect compliment to a sunny summer day, and the best thing is they're absolutely free to download! [...]
The dark and mysterious Solofour hail from France and have made a superb two-track deep and melodic techno EP titled 'Reglo'. Track one 'Melano' is something pretty special and layers together melodies, beeps, bleeps, warped vocals and quirky glitches to create a sophisticated minimal-esque tune, the type of thing you might find on a Minus release. Second track 'Resisto' keeps to a similar sound taking it a bit more upbeat. We're impressed. Stream the as yet unsigned EP below and watch this space... Follow Solofour on facebook and soundcloud
On Saturday, clubbers descended on Shoreditch’s Haggerston Park for the debut festival from established club night, Found. Any debut festival will have its sceptics, however Found really pulled this one off . The park was the perfect size which meant that the stages were all in close proximity and each one had a unique feel to it. Entry to the festival was quick and easy and toilet queues were no longer than you’d expect for any festival, although the bar queue was a bit long. Despite the rainy weather the sell out festival was [...]
Blackstreet – No Diggity (Bondax Edit)
Il était inévitable de parler de ce back to back hors norme qui a eu lieu dimanche dernier de 23h à 1h sur Rinse FM. Le genre de complot qui nous fait frémir jusque dans le caleçon et en plus pour la première fois cette année. L-Vis 1990 et Bok Bok sont d'excellents producteurs, c'est un fait, ils sont aussi très bons djs, alors vous pouvez comprendre que l'un de nos plus gros souhait soit de les entendre mixer ensemble, et ce durant 2 heures sous l'écusson Night Slugs évidemment. Ça se [...]
Just in case anyone was wet-around-the-gills or still learning about the real side to the industry known as business & e-commerce, it IS official folks - not all - but a several amount of corporate-incompetent beings that actually have the misfortune to draw the same breath as you & I ( i.e. certain individuals that represent themselves as H.R. Managers or as an under-qualified, inept existence as a flawed/abhorrent company trainer ) are indeed a bunch of career development blocking, amoeba-ridden, soulless-infused spool of bastards. All those in this era by which we call the 21st Century (who actually get [...]
Swede David West has sent us some perfect Monday night listening. A mash up of tracks Wagon Christ (aka Luke Vibert) 'Shadows' , Akabu 'Another World' and John Barry '007 and Counting' from the Bond film 'Diamonds are Forever'. A random mix that works beautifully. Free DL below.
Last Monday we were dancing to Guy Gerber making some magic live music in Cocoon, Ibiza. Now that we're back in the office and back to reality with a bang, this free treat of an album from Gerber is definitely helping to soothe our holiday blues. 'Who's Stalking Who' is an hour of original music compiled by the prolific producer whilst on his travels and shows off his awesome craftsmanship and creativity. One of the busiest men in dance music this summer, Gerber has a new surreal and wonderful residency at Pascha, Ibiza 'Wisdom of The Glove' and is [...]
Belgium’s Neon Cardboard self-released its debut album Eternally several weeks ago. My favorite track from the album is "Decay", which they recorded live in the studio. This track has elements of post-punk, indie rock, and shoegaze rolled into one delicious reverb-filled soundbite. All the fun of Foals, Sonic Youth and The Joy Formidable, with the speed and allure of The Stranglers. As Neon Cardboard has only recently emerged on the music scene, we couldn't find much online from them in terms of video material. Fortunately, we've managed to [...]
For maximum enjoyment, SPOONZ’s music needs to be turned up enormously loud. Without entering those red master volume gains, ‘VINO’ shoots, scores and delivers.
In an unusual juxtaposition of fusing Daft Punks’ ‘Something About Us’ and Aaliyah’s ‘Are You That Somebody,’ DJ/producer WABI SABI somehow manages to pull this one off. Expect to hear some slight garagey ideas with a blatant undercurrent of uptempo, seamless soul.
The Secret Weapons are from the Detroit area, and released their first EP Mess We Made in May. Its available from BandCamp , iTunes and Amazon . Lead singer and primary songwriter Brian Rizza has likened the band’s sound to the illegitimate offspring of Kurt Cobain and Thom Yorke brought up on Dylan and The Beatles. The full line-up is Matt Binder - Drums, John Missig - Bass, Mike Ryan - Guitar, Brian Rizza - Guitar, Vox, Piano WEBSITE | BANDCAMP [...]
Skrillex is dubstep's poster boy, a spirited musician, and industry tastemaker. His dedication to the craft is second-to-none, re-inventing and re-imagining what electronic music can be at every opportunity, leading the push for creativity in dance music with his label OWSLA and stable of talented producers under his wing. His solo career is a highlight reel of accomplishments most producer's could only hope to achieve, all while staying true to the sound he helped create. Dog Blood, his collaboration with Boys Noize, is one of the most talked about pairings [...]
