Norwegian electronic dance/Nu-disco producer diskJokke has put so much god damn funk in my shoes over the past 24 hours that my kicks need a thorough wash. I first heard of this cat Thursday afternoon, while driving in my fathers car-which by the way, has a filthy banger of a sound system in it. Me and my boy Bravo had the satellite radio cranked when " Folk I Farta " came on, a funky and level beat with pianos, clapping and all sorts of other amazing sound bits that work you into a state of aural bliss. Bravo [...]

Eh aquí las novedades de la semana, como 2 canciones del nuevo disco de Lali Puna "Our inventions" archi recomendable, un remíx por ahí a Air vía metronomy, mm esa canción de fischerspooner que aun que es del año pasado me dio la gana subirla por aquello de que se presentan proximamente en el D.f, ah y de lo nuevo de goldfrapp (por cierto otro diamante del 2010). Air-So light is her footfall (metronomy remix) Goldfrapp-Rocket [...]

Geez, the guitars in Metronomy's remix of Air's So Light Is Her Footfall is butter. I said BUTTER (I'm sleepy, 3:45am blogging)! This remix solidifies Metronomy's Midas touch. Air - So Light Is Her Footfall (Metronomy remix) [ Alt ]

One from the Norwegian electronic disco crew is coming to Uppsala, Sweden tonight, his name is diskJokke . Can't really tell how you can hear that the music is made in Norway, but they have a special sound in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Could it be all the salmon they are eating from the fjords? Anyway, diskJokke makes music in the same field as Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and Röyksopp. It's high quality all the way, from the production to the music of course. He released his first full-length album "Staying In" in 2007 but have [...]

A long time ago! these new puritans -navigate, navigate (the loving hand remix)- metronomy -do the right thing (wild geese remix)- sexual harassment -i need a freak-
This month, the hot mess of artists that came together to help Haiti debuted their video for the hilariously horrendous remake of "We Are The World." That being said, I truly did love it. I laughed relentlessly through all eight minutes. There were a litany of parts that are just unintentionally hysterical. Here's just a few. 1. Janet and Michael green screened side by side. I mean really? It's so ridiculous, so funny. 2. T-Pain's autotuned verse? I did not see that one coming at all. Who's idea [...]

Habemus nuevo single de AIR para la canción So Light Is Her Footfall , parte de su última produccion, Love 2 . La cosa lleva video clip, y una serie de remixes de gente como Metronomy y Breakbot, entre otros. Por otra parte, si eres fan, y le has dado como caja al disco, y más aún, conoces cada sonidillo e instrumento que suena en él, puedes entrar al sitio preparado especialmente para la ocasión , y jugar a hacer coincidir los sonidos del disco con las canciones que corresponden. [...]

We love Metronomy , we love Empire of the Sun and we love covers. Having said that, we fucking hated the Metronomy cover of Empire of the Sun's 'We Are the People'. Well, most of it. I get the arty approach that Joseph used on this song by adding that sad, wilting robot voice - the same one he used in 'What Do I Do Now', from the latest EP 'Not Made For Love' - but in this case, it just doesn't work. And worse, when he sings with his falsetto voice, the song [...]

No, this isn't Jesus. Breakbot is the new face of Ed Banger. He's not just another knock off of Justice, he is writing and producing some feel good music which will make you feel really good. Like seriously good pop tunes which manage to get stuck in my head, a notable feat because of my ADHD listening habits. The actual music is made up of falsetto vocals, piano arrangements and funky analogue bass lines. On paper, it sounds like generic rubbish, but listen below and you'll understand. Baby I'm Yours , [...]

Film Skool Rejekts (feat. Metronomy) - A Thing For Me "Three broke and talented Hip-Hop musicians" by way of Massachusetts and Jersey, Film Skool Rejekts have been making waves for awhile now which culminated in the release of the lauded but overlooked Midnight Movie album late last year. Never one to rest, producer/DJ Cyrus The Great has been quoted as saying that FSR have seven (SEVEN!) projects dropping in '10. The first of which, Music For The Bitches will be available for all on Valentine's Day. "A Thing For Me" [...]

Test Drive: Breakbot and Metronomy remixes Air's new single "So Light is her Footfall". Breakbot wins! Have a listen: Air: "So Light is her Footfall" [Breakbot Remix] Air: "So Light is her Footfall" [Metronomy Remix] Watch Air's new video, directed by Edouard Salier, here

Μην βγάλεις τα παπούτσια, θα σου χρειαστούν. Περιμένοντας το νέο album των Metronomy να "σκάσει" μέσα στο 2010, φουλάρουμε μ' ένα παλιό τους κομμάτι για να τα βγάλουμε πέρα. Το "Foe and Dear" (θα μπορούσε να είχε γραφτεί για το "Nights Out") προέρχεται από ένα σπάνιο promotional EP που κυκλοφόρησε η μπάντα το 2005 για την εταιρία Ισπανικών παπουτσιών Wonders. Πατάς gas και χορεύεις με ένα παπούτσι... Metronomy: "Foe and Dear" [ mp3 ] Και μια live ειδησούλα: Οι Δανοί [...]
Electronic music has become a much larger part of my musical listening now, and so this post has evolved into a "let's put as much random electronic stuff in here as possible" list. We now have the main dance-y list and a bunch of little snippets of random genres within electronica. And this year I've put the dance mix into a large mp3 file for your pleasure. Do you like that? Should I make one mp3 mixes more often? Should I actually mix it myself or just let my program do it? Any advice on this post would be much [...]
More exciting news from the wondrous folk at Pure Groove has just reached my island in the snow. On Wednesday 20 January (definitely January) they're holding the Pure Groove Music Night. Thrillingly titled it may not be, but pulsating it may well be: in PG's own words the evening sees Pure Groove record label bring "some of their illustrious roster to play what could be the biggest line-up of the year. No names can be announced but expect superstars!" Superstars might be pushing it, but as Ex-Lovers, GoldieLocks , Metronomy (Empire [...]

Fun fact in advance: This post was inspired by the fact that I absolutely had to post this new photo. Vava voom ! From Sophie's new-and-improved website : The first single is released early April. It's called `Bittersweet' and with it I have once again collaborated with the lovely and very talented Freemasons . It's a good introduction to the fourth album because, as with the majority of the record, it's a song you can dance to. The new tracks feature collaborations with Calvin Harris , [...]

"This is a very rare promotional CD by Metronomy for the spanish shoe company Wonders. It was released in late 2005 with the winter catalogue. But also distributed during the Open Night (sept. 2005) in the IED Madrid by ROJO Magazine. Tracks #2, 4 and 5 were only released on this record. Tracks #1 and 3 were later featured on the You Could Easily Have Me EP as b-sides. Track #6 was part of the debut album Pip Paine." Tracklisting - 01 - Another Me To Mother You [...]
This probably isn't the first 'review of the year' or 'top 5 blah blah blahs' you've read, and it probably won't be the last. But it's taken me some time to cobble together my favourites of the last twelve months together, and it's actually the first time I've done something like this, so the least I can do is thank you for being my audience. Anyway, I've come up with a trio of Top 5s: albums, original tracks and remixed tracks. Let's get to it. 5 at the top, 1 at the bottom. [...]

When 2009 and 2008 are compared, 2009 shadows over 2008. 2009 has seen a journey across multiple music genres, the return of old faces, and the emergence of new faces we will be creaming for in 2010. The following list tributes WDPK's top 10 music other than electro (WDPK's main focus is on electro and a list will be reserved for that purpose). Interpretation can be made by the reader, but what follows is not only a list of WDPK's top 10 songs, but also the effect these songs and artists have had on 2009 and reflects the artists as [...]
