Swedish trio Monitor 66 are celebrating today their 5000 followers on Soundcloud, with their song "Follow You"! I've been following them since I first heard, and fell in love, with their song "Triscuits", premiered in a Magic Tape last year. Since then, they released a couple of songs and remixes, that were always top quality. "Follow You" is no exception. The trio respects again their motto of making "sunset inspired music with funky basslines". This sweet melody accompanied by vocal samples is just irresistible. And the guys are giving it away for free , how awesome is [...]
We discovered Swedish trio Monitor 66 last year, with their fantastic track "Triscuits" , that I'm still listening to quite often, without never being fed up with it. Since then, Monitor 66 released a couple of original songs and remixes, and managed to innovate, without releasing too many tracks. Today, they are sharing a new track to celebrate their 5 000 followers on Soundcloud! Apparently, they were keeping it secret since a long time, and we're glad they revealed it! "Follow You" as a sweet melody, and hypnotic vocal samples. It has the typical sound that Monitor [...]

Swedish trio Monitor 66 are already one of our favorite acts at the moment! Their productions are becoming more and more appreciated by the electronic community, as well as, by the whole blogosphere movement. If there were any doubts about their talent. I would say that after releasing the massive "Triscuits" (...watch/listen here...) they have definitely conquered our hearts with the single "Ambient Blackbird" (...listen/download here...) , which is clearly less eccentric, but it has been played on repeat over and over again. It's starting to become harder and harder to say what's our favorite production, while [...]

Monitor 66 , los chicos del "Music for sunsets" y el ahora dúo de Estocolmo formado por Hannes Rehnström & Hannes Forsman , están de regreso con un nuevo regalito. Creadores de maravillas sonoras como " Ambient Black Bird ", " Deep in the nite " " Her Bells " o su maravilloso " Triscuits ", regresan con " Follow You ", [...]
Blogun favorilerinden olan Monitor 66 aylar sonra orijinal bir çalışmasını tanıttı. Her ne kadar, yaklaşık bir yıl önce yaptıkları bir parçanın yeni versiyonu olmuş olsa da üçlüden orijinal bir parça duymak güzel oldu. Hem remiksleri hem de orijinal parçaları her daim güzel ve yenisi hep bir öncekinden daha iyi olan çalışmalarıyla gönüllere iyice yerleşmeye başlayan ... Continue reading

Fundamentally meticulous and definitively sound, Sweden’s collective of Hannes Rehnström, Calle Hemström and Hannes Forsman (as Monitor 66 ) combine artistry with disco, and clarity with composure. Not bad for three pairs of polka-playing sunset kings.

Once again our Swedish friends of Monitor 66 make another sweet blissco tune, yes that what they call their music style right now, blissco. The remix is of Ukrainian Oleg Lisovksy, named Lessovsky when releasing his music. This EP "Spend & Cherish" is released on the Stockholm based label Oh! Records holding the remix from Monitor 66. Buy the EP over at Beatport . The original tune from Lessovksy is more deep house than Monitor 66's blissco remix but also nice. [...]

Remember a couple weeks ago we posted a beautiful edit from Mattias Polanco of Tracy Chapman's classic "Fast Car" (...listen/download here...). For what we know today is Mattias birthday, and he's gifting us with a sweet and mellow remix of Monitor 662s highly acclaimed "Triscuits." Don't forget to
On its third full-length, New Jersey's Titus Andronicus goes a bit simpler, but still maintains the life-affirming energy that made past releases so good. WATCH THE REVIEW
With their first two studio albums, Titus Andronicus has turned what we've known about punk rock on its head with hyper-literate songs that tend to clock in at over five minutes or longer. The Glen Rock, New Jersey-based act , who were recently declared the "best young band in America" by Grantland , released their third full-length effort Local Business late last month. While 20102s The Monitor was a song-cycle loosely based on the Civil War, their latest is a more straight-ahead affair rooted in a mix of [...]
TITUS ANDRONICUS The Monitor (XL Recordings, 2010) par Eddie De cet album, je n’avais entendu jusqu’à il n’y a quelques semaines que « A More Perfect Union », le titre d’ouverture. J’ai toujours du mal à comprendre comment je peux passer à côté d’albums pareils. Le dernier album de Titus Andronicus, Local Business, est sorti [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars You've really got to root for Titus Andronicus ? They've taken on their own approach to working within the indie rock community, and regardless of pitfalls of other acts, they always seem to come out on their own terms. Local Business is their third LP, and while it's story line may not be as grandiose as The Monitor , it impresses greatly, musically and lyrically. For me, I almost always notice [...]
Monitor 66, the other Swedish house trio going by Hannes, Hannes & Calle, has made a name for themselves in the indie dance/nu disco market. Their single, "Triscuits", made an incredible splash when it featured as the opener to The Magician's Magic Tape 22 back in April and is still an essential lounge track in DJ sets nearly 5 [...]
En el tiempo entre el último álbum de Soundgarden y el nuevo, Al Gore trabajó realmente duro para probar la existencia del calentamiento global y que el mundo esta de hecho derritiéndose. Sin embargo a juzgar por la portada de King Animal, los titanes del grunge encontraron un lugar donde aún cae nieve. Similarmente frios los efectos visuales del trailer de este álbum.
Sigur Rós ha lanzado otro video de su 'Valtari Mystery Film Experiment', y es un corte más amplio que el resto. Seraph cuenta con fragmentos de pistas del disco Valtari como: 'Rembihnútur' y 'Ekki múkk' y se mueve en una salvaje dirección, gracias a un notable dibujante de comics y un valiente director de películas de culto.
Noel Gallagher ha dicho que quiere tomar un descanso el próximo año. Esto debido a que quiere tomarse su tiempo para evitar hacer un álbum como el 'Be Here Now'.
