It's always humbling to hear a new talent before they really blow up, and that's exactly what we have on our hands. In 2006, two good friends hailing from Sweden, Alexander Lager and Johannes Gustafsson, began producing music together and in 2011, they formed the project: Qulinez. Although it's not necessarily a secret, Sweden is [...]

Words by Brendan There are many adjecives I could use to describe Pet Clinic and their debut EP-talented, purposeful, confident, moody-but I'm choosing this one above all: energetic . This six song EP is the culmination of years of work and it seriously shows, with nary a second of filler, nor a misplaced sound. Even the mellow moments (of which there are few, mind you) have me on the edge of my seat or up on my feet. This is a band who knows exactly what they want to sound like [...]
We kick off 2012 in style with an EP from Frank Haag - Amsterdam's diamond in the rough and undoubtedly one of the artists to watch very closely this year. Readers of our blog will be familiar with the name; last year his 'Tales of the Burning Range Rovers' EP on Serialism made a strong [...]

OFWKTA have had a new album in the works to be out next month. Tyler The Creator tweeted that ODD FUTURE TAPE. VOL 2 . will actually be out this month, on the 20th. He also posted the album artwork on his twitter account. That's not to say this could possibly all be a hoax though. Word is that Earl Sweatshirt , aka Free Earl, may actually be home and free now. Tyler's own record, the follow up to the [...]

Young Magic , a Brooklyn trio, is releasing their debut album, Melt , on Feb 14th on Carpark Records. Although now firmly settled in New York City, Young Magic's three members came together through equal helpings of openness and fortuity. In 2010, singer and producer Isaac Emmanuel had left his home continent of Australia to travel across Europe, over to New York, and down through Mexico, all the while creating and recording music with whatever instruments he found along the way. While in Mexico, Emmanuel kept a tight correspondence with fellow Australian expat [...]

One of the most buzz worthy bands as of late are the Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club. They are back in the news, and back in a big way. They have a new song, a remix of Lady Gaga's "Electric Chapel", and actually got to work with the infamous star on it. Leaf vocalist Alex told The Sun newspaper: "She said we only had a week. That's not a lot of time, especially as we were on tour but I couldn't turn down such an incredible opportunity. So we worked every single day and night and threw it together. [...]

Back in rotation with a touch of disco-revivalism: It's taken a while, and few (literal) stumbles along the way, but Mr Sparrow is back for 2012 x Mandu
Sharon Van Etten's Tramp has spent more time in my headphones than any other 2012 release so far, and at this point is by far my favorite release of the young year. Air's soundtrack to the 1902 silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune , A Place To Bury Strangers' Onwards to the Wall EP , Bahamas' Barchords , The Twilight Sad's No One Can Ever Know , and The Unthanks' The Songs of [...]
Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey Season 2 (Original U.K. Unedited Edition) is easily the week's DVD highlight for me. Other television shows include the animated Rocko's Modern Life: Season Two . The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I , the historical Shakespeare drama Anonymous and the comedy A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas are the most anticipated theatrical films. The More Business [...]

Synkro - Progression b/w Indigo Remix [Exit Records] So, the follow up 12" to the Manchester duo's last outing on Exit, the much hyped and much loved (although not here at EDJ) Guidance/Reflection. It's funny how some producers get lambasted for releasing 'too much' music (S.P.Y for example) yet Synkro who is here, there and everywhere almost every week has no such criticsm levelled at him. This is probably due to his incredible versatility as an artist - dubstep, 2-step, deep house and drum & bass spring to mind instantly - he [...]

She also does a cameo in " Gimme All Your Luvin ," the new song from Madonna featuring Nicki Minaj . [...]

Siden vi første gang skrev om den anonyme Evian Christ på bloggen, har det stået forholdsvis stille til fra den hypede producers front. Men igår blev facaden så pillet ned, da Tri Angle annoncerede at de havde signet produceren, og at man bag hans alias fandt en 22-årig britisk producer ved navn Joshua Leary . Samtidig udsendte de også et gratis album fra produceren, Kings And Them , der var en opsamling af flere af de tracks der tidligere har floreret på hans youtube account, men [...]
