Ya les hemos hablado antes del mexicano Mateo González, más conocido como Bufi . Sabemos lo bien que está haciendo las cosas luego de "Trilogy", su gran álbum debut, y de remixes de gran calidad como los realizados a Gossip y Little Dragon . Esta vez, el mexicano nos presenta un excelente rework del single " Night And Day " de los ingleses Hot Chip , el cual como ya muchos saben, forma parte de su último y aclamado disco In Our Heads y que antes ya fue remezclado por los [...]
Ilya Santana - A Piece Of Paradise By Stef Siepel The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. Track of the week: ‘A Piece of Paradise’ by Ilya Santana Ilya Santana , aka the master of hypnotic balearic. Not always equally hardcore [...]
We're back with this weeks MP3 wrap, who made the cut? Who scrapped in? Who ended up on top? Almost predictably Todd Terje's remix of Hot Chips "How Do You Do" took the gold for its impeccable production and tethered plenty of love online ( James Zabiela's own take on it actually came in at number seven). Oslo producer Finnebassen let slip the delectably smooth original "What Do You Do" for the silver and a nip from Blende with "Fake Love" took the bronze. 1. Hot Chip - How [...]
Todd Terje lo hizo de nuevo. Nuestro noruego favorito y autor del que probablemente sea la canción del año , vuelve a maravillarnos con otra de sus únicas creaciones. Esta vez los elegidos son los ingleses de Hot Chip y su canción "How Do You Do?", parte del excelente In Our Heads , uno de los buenos lanzamientos de este 2012. Terje recrea lo mejor del disco y el space disco en esta remezcla de 9 minutos, volviendo a dejarnos anonadados por la calidad de sus producciones y demostrando que realmente parece no [...]
Flanders is more than a field, it’s also home to about a bazillion festivals. Putting last year’s tragedy in the rearview, Pukkelpop – dubbed the European Coachella by DJ Martin Solveig and held August 16-18th in Kiewit, Belgium – was this year a celebration of great music. So how does one girl plan her attack of 14-hour days, eight stages, 200+ bands and DJs, in 97°F heat? With good shoes, bottles of water, and a long lens. The first day saw Paris’ drum n’ bass assassins Dirtyphonics nail the Dance Hall and its inhabitants [...]
I was born in late August and attended schools in South Florida, which meant two things. One, I was doomed from the beginning, considering the public school systems there are garbage. And two, I was always going to celebrate my birthday on the first day of school, which kind of sucked because nobody ever remembered it and everyone was too busy to even bring cupcakes into class. Now, I wouldn't have cared so much if not for the fact that everyone else in the class - from kindergarten to third grade, really - had special afternoons dedicated to [...]
We packed the rather excellent photographer Helen Boast off to Way Out West Festival in Sweden a couple of weeks. This is her photo diary: [...]
As Ireland's only major festival this year, expectation is high and it looks as if Electric Picnic may just be about to rise to the challenge. With a fairly impressive lineup already confirmed, more acts have just been added to Stradbally for 2012. Along with some of popular music's biggest names we now have some of the most hotly tipped breakthrough acts of the last 12 months. Add to that a sprinkling of soul-stardom plus some of Ireland's national treasures and you'll hear very few people bemoan the absence of Oxegen this summer. The newest [...]
Si hace dos semanas fue Major Lazer el encargado de darle su toque reggae/dancehall a "Look at where we are", la excelente balada electropop de Hot Chip , extraída de su último y vanagloriado disco In Our Heads , hoy es el turno del inglés Four Tet . Algo más cercano a la canción original, el inglés nos presenta una gran remezcla en la que progresivamente va subiendo la intensidad de la mano de nuevas percusiones y sintetizadores, para terminar en una fusión entre dance y jazz [...]
Disclosure 's breakthrough EP, The Face , contains some of the best sounds we've heard in 2012 and we say this without a hint of hesitation. Each track from this sibling double-act is undeniable and it's safe to say that The Face will remain in the rotation for at least the next little while. A few days back, the boys announced a Remix EP, courtesy of hotly tipped producers Mak & Pasteman , Dixon , Medlar , and Joe Goddard ( Hot Chip ), and today it drops. Two out of four [...]
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Andrew Bird – “Give It Away” Just when you thought clowns were the creepiest part of a child's birthday party. Allow me to introduce, Pinata Man. Bat For Lashes – “Laura” Natasha Khan takes us backstage with a ballet-dancing transvestite in this beautifully shot new music video. Alright you perverts, time to stop gawking at that album cover now. Ben Kweller – “Jealous Girl” [...]
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Crystal Stilts – “Dark Eyes” Take a trip back to the 602s in this video from NYC's Cyrstal Stilts. Even though it was shot recently during a hometown show at the Knitting Factory, the psychedelic visuals make it seem like it could have come from Andy Warhol's Factory circa 1966. Dan Deacon – “True Thrush” This video is guaranteed to amuse anyone who ever loved playing the children's game telephone [...]
So here we are, the final five in our poll of the albums of the first half of the year. It sums up the nature of the list perfectly - musically mixed and taking into two veterans producing some of the best work of their career, a genre busting debut and a band defying the odds to getting better with every release. The runaway winner, however, is a young lady from Canada. Will she still be there at the end of the year? You'll need to wait six months to find out. 5. Paul Buchanan [...]
There are plenty of choices for purchasing digital music – iTunes, Amazon MP3, 7digital, etc. – but only one online retailer, eMusic, offered a subscription plan with customers paying a monthly fee for cash credit (formerly track download credits) to purchase music from their extensive library of artists. Now, some independent music labels [...]
Hot Chip aren’t your average band. Their members appear to be cropping up everywhere ( 2 Bears, New Build etc) but the band are consistently putting out a record every two years. They’ve been everywhere, with everyone and gained notoriety as both a good band and exciting live band, but they’ve never stepped out of everyone elses shadows for long enough to shine at their top billings ( LCD Soundsystem immediately spring to mind). Furthermore they’ve had plenty of success without ever actually having released a great album ('Over [...]
[ the official image of Sonar; a still from Sergio Caballero's forthcoming film, 'La Distanca' ] The city is buzzing. Club-rats, artists, and industry folk of every rank have flocked here to witness what is widely considered to be one of, if not the most influential three days in the world of electronica, internationally. We'll see about that, as low-life will be on site, reporting the tides and triumphs of this so anticipated celebration of the multi-media arts. " Sónar once again makes Barcelona the world capital [...]
Hot Chip In Our Heads out on 6.12 Stream | MP3 | CD | Vinyl B+ Somewhere over the course of the last ten years refined electronic pop music has become something that people admire again. Of course, in the 602s and 702s it was a given that great music could come from lush synth arrangements and heartfelt lyrics. Bowie, David Byrne, Freddie Mercury. These guys were not just regarded as [...]
As the days grow longer, so does the list of new releases. Summer approaches and it's that time of the year when every indie band wants their album released. But few have the gall to go up against Metric 's heavily anticipated Synthetica . Emily Haines will soon become one of this year's most celebrated female vocalists. Listen to "Speed The Collapse" here . It's been one of those years, one where so many notable indie groups are releasing albums, it just becomes mind boggling. So while we are very focused on Metric's [...]
