i have to admit that i find kavinsky to be one of the most underwhelming artists going around.. i cant seem to work out where all of his credibility and hype came from.. his cartoon avatar? his jacket? he sure rode that 80s wave pretty well, but when that died off where did he find himself? with a black macbook full of halfhearted testarossa overdrive revamps and tired pop? his yet to be released single 'nightcall' is a sad case of remixes (in this case by breakbot and jackson ) bettering the originals.. [...]
Coming soon (though not tomorrow--the order is still being sorted out, though I'm sure the accompanying description will be as drawn out as always): my countdown of my favorite singles of the year. I will say, though, that I currently feel strangely sure about my top placing song, though knowing me it will change ten times between now and when I actually post it. In completely unrelated news, we've finally got a return to music from someone I've been waiting for--well, kind of return: Jon Nørgaard, the Danish singer who won Popstars many [...]

Drag the River's break-up turned nonbreak-up turned...well....I don't even know what it is these days has spurred the release of another new(ish) cd, Primer . The 20 tracks were hand selected by Jon and Chad and while there is probably a track or two missing Primer probably looks like the mixtape you would make if you were trying to turn someone on to Drag. So, check out the full album stream below and then go order it .

For Terre Thaemlitz, audio is never "innocent." From Thaemlitz's earliest ambient recordings, through a series of incredible electro-acoustic projects for the Mille Plateaux label, to a current triple-life as producer of astringently political "radio shows," deep house auteur as DJ Sprinkles and K-SHE, and writer/polemicist, Thaemlitz's project has always been to unsettle any putative audience's assumptions of what constitutes knowledge and politics. Thaemlitz is also possibly dance music's finest socio-political commentator. Not to mention her continual "queering of the pitch." With DJ Sprinkles's Midtown 120 Blues somehow managing to be one of the best dance music albums of [...]

[Bureau B] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy CD ) [Bureau B] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy CD ) Here's a proposition, possibly reductive, probably true: the German duo Cluster (Dieter Moebius and Hans Joachim Roedelius) were the only Krautrock act to make the usual artistic trajectory, from incipient experimentalism to more approachable, populist moves, without trading in one iota of their humour or their peculiar genius. Can and Tangerine Dream lost it; Faust and Ash Ra Tempel watered down most of their ideas (Faust's "Krautrock" and Manuel Gottsching's [...]
Photo credit: Merkley??? How's it looking? It's the new new! With all the hits this site has been getting, (over 20,000 per month!!!) and the fact that I am web designer by day, I couldn't have it looking so shabby. Hope you enjoy the freshness. I'll be moving this website to a new web host soon, my current one blows-chunks; although, it does give "unlimited" bandwidth, but it just can't handle this kind of traffic. So some bad news, I'm going to be deleting all the zip files soon, so get them all while they're still [...]
We've eagerly been awaiting to provide this official Knox Road press release (ha) for quite some time now. We are pleased to announce the addition of a new blogger to Knox Road . His name is Jon , and he has superb writing skills and great taste in music - much that overlaps with what we currently provide and more, in order to make KR as diverse and informative as possible within our genre. He spends his time in both D.C. and NYC, so location-wise, it suits us quite well. He'll start posting tomorrow, and we [...]

"Hailing from Long Island New York and weighing in at a bone-crushing, ear-splitting, ass-kicking, neck-breaking 750 pounds of pure metal mastery; ladies and gentlemen, BURNING THE MEMORY !!!"

Forming in 2005, Burning The Memory has worked hard to create the sound they are known for. While most bands in the area have leaned towards writing [...]

One of the greatest musical regrets I have is ignoring Drag the River for as long as I did. As I mentioned here one time , per their name I assumed they were just a metal band and ignored them for quite some time. Fortunately, I came around in time to see them as a full band once before they "broke up". Since then I've managed to catch Jon and Chad as a duo 3 times and have became a card-carrying member of the Drag The River fan club. Last month we saw what is technically their second posthumous [...]

Alright, another mix for you guys. I don't think I've posted a mix as club or house as this one. Great thing is, I don't think I've posted a single one of the tracks in this tracklist. I totally thought I posted another one of Dada Life 's mixes before but I guess not. Not exactly the smoothest mix I've heard, but I think the whole point was for it not to be seamless. For some reason I really liked this mix, listened to it a dozen times and I still can't get enough [...]
