Ever hear a song and want to tuck and roll under a table, slide across the hood of a car, or just put a nice suit on and creep around, solving mysteries and carrying out top secret missions? Yeah, us too. Here are 12 songs that make you feel like a secret agent. Regina Spektor - "Edit" You can't hear those opening piano stabs and not think of some James Bond shit. Who knows what Regina is singing about. "White lines on your mind.. something something... Uncle Albert... something something... edit edit edit edit." Is it about coke? [...]
This week, London three-piece Daughter released their mesmeric debut album, If You Leave . To celebrate, the trio popped in to BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday night to perform a jaw-dropping session excusively for Zane Lowe. It included this: a gorgeous, slow-burning mix up of Bon Iver's 'Perth' and Hot Chip's 'Ready For The Floor'. Although completely contrasting in their original formats, the group transform them into one continous torch song. Utterly, utterly beautiful. Listen and download below. Download: Daughter - Perth vs. Ready For The Floor (Live Lounge)
Steve Mason performs at the launch at BBC Maida Vale Studios By Matt Jones So the lovely people at BBC Radio 6 Music , who are playing a huge part in organising Latitude Festival 2013 (with their own stage to prove it), invited us down to the festival launch event last night - and boy, oh boy does it look exciting. Top of the bill stand Kraftwerk , fresh out of their Tate Modern audiovisual spectacular, who will be performing the best [...]

We're here! Another Tuesday and another Stoney Chart. Each week see's a different Stoney Roads writer share 10 tracks that they have been listening too throughout the week, new or old. If you have missed either of the first 2 weeks charts I seriously recommend you check them out! Week 1: Kish's Chart and Week 2: Sandro's Chart were full of awesome music. Toro Y Moi's "Say That" takes the cake as my favorite but there’s 19 other gems [...]
The Grammy's just got over and done with a few hours ago. As usual, the RIAA missed out on a lot, so here's a Five at 5 featuring five Grammy Award categories with songs that maybe should have won instead (or songs that were better off not winning, whichever way you think). Check it out. 1. Madeon - 'Icarus' - Best Dance Recording I first heard of young Madeon through Pete Tong last year. Last I heard, he was on the Lolla 2013 in Brazil and Chile, after playing Coachella, the Electric Daisy, and [...]
Potential blizzard conditions in New England seem to be on the near horizon and so too will be a weekend away from work for millions of people. In preparation, ...
After our time spent at Falls Festival in Marion Bay, Tasmania, we’ve developed a somewhat informative list (I make lists all the time) of 9 rules/tips, that can hopefully help out future Falls-goers by learning from our many mistakes and few victories. Rule #1: Get your grog in. This one’s key. I don’t want to make us all out to sound like useless alcoholics and that you need a bottle of Captain Morgan’s Spiced Gold each day to have a good time – but it’s the truth. And [...]
La última lista compilatoria del año 2012 es aquella que engloba y premia al trabajo musical en su conjunto, a los lanzamientos tomados como un concepto y un esfuerzo global por entregarnos algo nuevo, algo que no hayamos escuchado con anterioridad y que escape a los éxitos solitarios de una canción o un remix: nos referimos al conteo de nuestros 20 discos favoritos del año. Al respecto, el 2012 fue un año que, sumando y restando, estuvo acorde a las expectativas y que fue testigo de grandes nacimientos, de varias consagraciones y de uno que otro fracaso inevitable. [...]
La consigna de NNM es fuerte y clara: "Música independiente para la pista de baile". Y esta lista es parte de lo que refleja el sitio. Tal como ocurrió con la segunda parte de la lista, la cual mostramos hace un par de días , elegir las mejores canciones bailables del año es un trabajo complicado porque la cantidad de releases durante un año es sobreacogedora, es por eso que tras un largo consenso llegamos a lo que verán a continuación. Si hubiésemos tenido que hacer una lista de canciones no bailables y bailables mezcladas en una [...]
Ya te mostramos nuestras canciones no bailables favoritas del año pasado , pero bien sabemos que la gran mayoría de la gente que entra a esta página lo hace para mover el pie o para buscar cosas para sus propios sets. Por eso entraremos rápidamente en una categoría polémica y muy popular entre quienes hacemos -y leemos- NNM. Siempre va a depender de qué le guste pinchar a cada uno, pero el puesto #1 es un premio a un dúo que cambió las reglas de la pista durante 2012, en parte gracias a su reversión a una [...]
No podemos recibir este 2013 si es que no despedimos 2012 como se lo merece. Los últimos doce meses fueron excelentes para la música de varios estilos, con buenos regresos y sorprendentes apariciones. Para tratar de que no se nos escape nada, hemos organizado cuatro listas con distintas categorías: discos, remixes, canciones bailables y no bailables, que reflejan el consenso entre quienes hacemos esta página. Hoy vamos a empezar con las canciones no bailables. Quizás la categoría más amplia y más difícil, ya que muchos de nuestros discos favoritos tenían al menos tres o cuatro cada uno. Eso [...]
Sydney, Australia’s Field Day 2013 went off on New Years Day. Field Day provided amazing music including catering for one hell of a closing set, taking on Sydney’s infamously expensive inner city noise restriction costs to make sure that Hot Chip played lived. With shows from Two Door Cinema Club, Hot Chip, SBTRKT, Mark Ronson, The Vaccines, Erol Alkan, Disclosure, Krafty Kuts & A-Skillz, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Fake Blood, Booka Shade, DJ Nu-Mark, Django Django, Adrian Lux, Coolio and many many more.

It's that time at last! Triple J Hottest 100 voting has opened. For those that don't let their musical intelligence be insulted by Triple J, this year promises to be another hard slog at getting those 10 tracks perfectly right, so that you can just tick them off as they come up one by one on the 26th January. Well... at least that's what it used to be like. It's been only 10 years ago now, that Queens of the Stone Age held the number 1 spot with their mental track "No One Knows", and only five years [...]
We haven’t been hearing too much from Gang Colours since the release of his (brilliant) debut album, The Keychain Collection , on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings . Word has it that Will Ozanne has been submerged in his studio, putting the final touches on his sophomore effort, which should be available early 2013. Though he is frequently likened to artists such as Gold Panda , Four Tet , and Floating Points , Gang Colours ’ sound is very much his own, characterized by soft piano chords, warm, thick percussion, and understated electronic [...]
Another Monday and to commemorate the crushing mundanity the day embodies with a most despairing inherence, we're back here divulging a further ten tracks from our 2012 ranking. Our previous instalment took in a Fuck Button, the irrefutably inimitable Bobby Womack, and a lo-res JPG of a cat in a box . This one, meanwhile, clicks through a smattering of woebegone London lo-fi, a couple snared from the Captured Tracks roster, the inevitable Hot Chip entry, and something ever so slightly special from Sam Willis who was once, all in all, just another [...]
Charli XCX (feat. Brooke Candy) – “Cloud Aura” If the whole of pop culture was a person, ate a 15-foot long Pixy stick, and tossed its cookies, this would be the glorious mess left on the floor. Flying Lotus - "Tiny Tortures" Not only do we approve of Lotus' implied meditation of the relationship of man and machine, but Elijah Wood finally looks badass with a robot arm. Hot Chip – “Don’t Deny Your Heart” If soccer matches really went [...]
FIELD DAY MAKES WONDERFUL …WITH LINE-UP OF ACHINGLY COOL PROPORTIONS Field Day 2013 makes wonderful! Leave 2012 behind and get excited for all the good things to come in 2013. Field Day is the New Year’s Day event synonymous with the very best in indie, dance and incredibly good times in beautiful green surroundings. Fuzzy Creative Director John Wall says: “Field Day has been Sydney's biggest, brightest and most sun-soaked new year's celebration for 11 years. This year's roll call of talent is one of [...]
Una nueva entrega de los 10 recomendados favoritos del mes en NNM.cl y una nueva ocasión en que el lugar número uno es para el noruego favorito Todd Terje . No sabemos cómo lo hace pero cada lanzamiento de Terje es un nuevo hit asegurado. El turno esta vez fue de la canción "How Do You Do?" de los ingleses Hot Chip , la cual forma parte de su último disco In Our Heads y que, mediante la remezcla del escandinavo, ha sido convertida en una bomba space disco. Más adelante, y cambiando un [...]
