When we heard that garage was making a resurgence we just thought people had started parking cars in the little rooms attached to the side of their houses again. (*stops reading immediately and goes to a real blog*) Seriously though, this is part of the resurging (a word?) 'garage' scene. It is released on Monday and it's really very good and interesting. We're not experts in garage music, but we know a good song when we hear it and this is one of those. It is by 14th [...]

Dig Your Grave is the title of a new 73 EP from The Pharmacy which is as good an example of indie-pop-garage bliss as you'll find. We included the title track in our January Best of the Month mix. Here is the equally good video for it - a super 8 mess of violence, fire and (what else) graveyards. a Buy it here . Or limited edition colour vinyl from Kind Turkey Records here . Download via iTunes [...]

There is a gargantuan release on route from the Spanish studios of @Elektroshok_Rec with a string of remixes for 'Square Shaped Circles' by the South African bringer of beats @pziezzoelectric . The string itself is an ensemble of 7 tracks and split up into two with one of them being solely a breaks remixes EP which will be released by Elektroshok itself whilst the main EP is out on a sub-division of the label Rough Division . So, we will have one original and [...]

В середине февраля, в субботу 18-го числа на Wicked Bass вечеринке в Xlib Club выступит хозяин самого одиозного лейбла на английской андерграундной сцене последних дней! Руперта Когана ака DJ Haus многие знают по супер-успешному лондонскому проекту Hot City. Ведь ещe в 2009 он с напарником, одними из первых, вернули моду на винтажный гараж и 2-степ, соединив все это британское добро с культовым пианино из 90-х и нарезанным, подтянутым вокалом. Нельзя не вспомнить их релизы на Fabric, Moshi Moshi и RAMP, в частности, хиты 'Another Girl', 'Hot City Bass', 'Yeah', 'Twist' которые вмиг стали чуть ли не [...]

Words by Brendan There are many adjecives I could use to describe Pet Clinic and their debut EP-talented, purposeful, confident, moody-but I'm choosing this one above all: energetic . This six song EP is the culmination of years of work and it seriously shows, with nary a second of filler, nor a misplaced sound. Even the mellow moments (of which there are few, mind you) have me on the edge of my seat or up on my feet. This is a band who knows exactly what they want to sound like [...]

Lapalux – "Moments (feat. PY)" If you're interested in what I think of as being very "in" in indie music culture right now—namely, an obsession with elements of R&B, dub-y electronica, ambient music, and a postmodern fluidity between the three—I'd say that you can't really go wrong with Lapalux's new debut EP When You're Gone , out on Brainfeeder . If that endorsement sounds cold and distant, let me happily clarify that this is a pretty damn satisfying 7-track [...]

London pop rock outfit Veronica Falls drops its first single since the release of its 2011 album, Veronica Falls . It was one of my favorite LPs last year, and was so due to its infectious hooks, close vocal harmonies, and moody fall-appropriate atmosphere. This new track, "My Heart Beats," is noticeably more sunny. In fact, I'd say the mood of this track and those on the self-titled are almost night and day. The rhythm has a lot more drive to it, the melodies are much more upbeat, the vocals don't carry any [...]

Gimmie A Reason Conversation A self-titled debut LP is coming from Chicago's Outer Minds on March 5 From Southpaw Records ( pre-order ). This LP is coming after a few singles off HoZac the past couple of years that established their 60's, [...]

Qu'est ce que j'aime les releases comme ça ! Le genre d'EP qu'on va classer dans Bass Music puisqu'il faut mettre un nom sur ce qu'on décrit sous peine de passer pour un illuminati en société « C'est indescriptible, un subtile mélange des genres qui mène à une pâte propre à l'artiste dans laquelle se retrouve l'influence UK garage des années 903. Lapalux c'est justement le reflet de ce qui se fait actuellement chez les artistes anglo-saxons qui ont déjà dépassé l'ère du dubstep pour concentrer de jolis vocals, assez souvent pitchés, une [...]

If forthcoming debut album No Expiration Date is anything to go by, The Forty Nineteens are up for a good time. A hellishly good time. The record is one of unashamed raucous enjoyment, of high energy, old fashioned motor city rock 'n' roll and nothing demonstrates it better than our taster track Turn It Around . Take influences such as The Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Stooges, Steve Wynn, The Clash, Tom Petty, Plimsouls, Psychedelic Furs, Guided By Voices, Flesh for Lulu, Johnny Rivers, and Beat Farmers , put them all [...]

FUTURE GARAGE Hot on the heels of the recent Slime Recordings incredible Basswave LP Materia takes the reigns for the labels 26th (?!) release. Sizzling futuristic production from Materia backed up with outstanding artwork - Slimes' trademark flourish. An excellent digital package that leaves you longing for a physical release.

The fine folk at The Fat Club have just added a quality new EP from Maribou State to their impressive catalogue and with some remix love from XLR8R and an exclusive bootleg , it would be rude not to share the love. We've also got a nice exclusive remix courtesy of upcoming producer NKC who aims for the party vibe with this retake. Maribou State - Olivia (NKC remix) We also have the video of the original to get the [...]

Roses Gabor est une icône, je l'avais découvert dans l'incroyable « DARE » de Gorillaz pour la retrouver dans « Raver » de Shy FX , « We Stay Up All Night » de Buraka Som Sistema ou encore mieux, dans « Pharaohs » de SBTRKT . En me penchant sur le sujet je me suis vite rendu compte qu'elle avait plus d'une corde à son arc et que la chanteuse à la voix pure et confiante n'avait pas froid aux yeux en terme de [...]

Mao. An as yet unidentified persona (personae?) and already big things are in the works. Currently, they have done a very nice remix of Maribou State which you can find by clicking here. The BIG news is their upcoming EP on Bad Life . Seriously mindblowing future garage sounds here, folks. We really hope they keep up with this quality. Check the immense track "Emeralds" below and the other track on the EP, "Harken," here. [...]

After a period of dormancy, Boston's Twin Berlin return with a new EP produced by none other than Travis Barker himself. Guitar Center brought the band and Blink-182 member together, and it just might be the only good thing the retail chain has ever done. There Goes My Virtue is easily the best sounding batch of songs the band has released thus far, and hopefully will lead to better and bigger things for the garage rockers. Still, at the very least, their exposure has already grown thanks to Barker's name alone. All three songs on the [...]

Royal Baths' second album delivers more of the band's trademark garage murkiness.

For all those to have been reared predominantly on secondhand smoke on the booze-splatted viscosity underfoot on the carpets and plastics of Brixton's Academy, La Femme's debut London show at The Garage on this significantly more salubrious corner of Highbury is for we. And for seemingly every Frenchman and woman currently shacked up in the capital. For the Le Pré-Saint-Gervais retrospection-revelling outfit hark back to glorified ages and eras past, delving into a history of all things Gallic, groove-laden, and New Wave as the sextet surf triumphantly towards the brightest of horizontal futures. Needless to say horizontal is [...]

Rad new track out now on the formidable Dirt Crew imprint. Tainted the old-school house and garage glory in equal measures...this hits pretty heavy with a pulsing sine-y bass topped with some deep whaling vocal flourishes. Hats off, this dude is only 18, expect big tings ;) BUY HERE

Techno and house DJ Carl Cox recently said in an interview with Time Out London that he, "was playing dubstep three years before anyone even decided to call it dubstep, but [he] never got known for playing that style. [He doesn't] mind the now generation being seen as the pioneers, but there had to be a Carl Cox pushing the doors open for these guys." The statement has been causing a pretty huge stir within the dubstep scene, provoking comments (mostly jokes) from the likes of many so-called 'now generation' producers: [...]
