A little while back a band out of the San Francisco Bay area caught my attention, describing themselves as a jazzy, bluesy, folky indie-rock group. The eclectic mix fits and each song definitely has a unique styling that will enrapt even your most focus lacking friends. Dogcatcher started out down in San Diego but found themselves up in Mountain View, CA in the not so distant past. The band released their full-length album "KILR" back in April of this year, and have been playing a bunch of shows in the area as well as a [...]
Real Gone releases two big band albums from the sixties
The composer from Australia "Wolfwolf"...breaks out with this dope modern funk.."Happy Heart Breaks LP"... Born into the depths of an electronic funk era, the phenomenon that is Wolfwolf recreates the music of the 1980's with an upbeat and positive modern twist. A long-term musician, Wolfwolf started his musical journey in front of a piano when he was only 3 years old. Classically trained, he explored and conquered several instruments including the violin, trumpet, trombone, drums and guitar before later moving onto more modern movements such as turntablism and drum machines. After producing and releasing several highly successful albums [...]
In the middle of our interview with Pariis Opera House last week, we simply tossed in the Souncloud embed of their debut single - with which we have become completely obsessed - 'I Don't Know What Love Is' (or 'IDKWLI' to friends and family) without much in the way of fanfare. It deserves fanfare. Here is the fanfare we neglected last time around: 'IDKWLI' is all kinds of amazing, and is the best new song of November 2011 by a long, electronic mile. Pariis Opera House (once known as solo [...]
(Text borrowed from this excellent site ) THE TRUMPETER (Text: J. Francis Barron; music: J. Airlie Dix, 1904) Trumpeter, what are you sounding now? (Is it the call I'm seeking?) "You'll know the call," said the Trumpeter tall, "When my trumpet goes a-speakin'. I'm rousin' 'em up; I'm wakin' 'em up, The tents are astir in the valley, And there's no more sleep with the sun's first peep, For I'm soundin' the old 'Reveille!'" Trumpeter, [...]
Today being Veteran's Day I won't write my usual blatterings; instead, I'm posting a bit about the day. Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, and today's date was chosen for its symbolic significance. November 11 observed the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, which marked the armistice of World War I. The first Armistice Day in the U.S. occurred on November 11, 1919, when President Woodrow Wilson declared that "to us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in [...]

Style of Eye aka Linus Eklöw has been around as a DJ and producer since the early 902s. However, only recently has the Swede's immense talent been highly recognized by Defected Records and Ingrosso's Refune. This past May, Linus released a massive remix to Swedish House Mafia's " Save The World ," that strongly contends with Alesso's , Zedd's , and Knife Party's remixes. Following his melodic and high energized release " We Are Boys ," Style of Eye's remix of "The Trumpeter" offers triumphant trumpet sounds and funky distortions. The track sounds like [...]
Robin Hirte is just the right man to trust with the task of making a Trumpet sound sexy. Add some heavy female breathing and some edgy rattling percussion and you have yourself a winner!
I distinctly remember discovering Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging through one of his bands, Sex Mob and their album Din of Inequity, which included some John Medeski featurings and hard-to-believe covers of Prince, John Barry, Paul McCartney and a few others. It was the end of the 90s and France was as lost musically as it is today, with musical ignorance reigning supreme. Things have been slowly evolving thanks to independent medias such as Paris DJs (and djouls.com before) who always had the will to defend incredible artists you've quite never heard of. So here's the first part [...]
