V: The Original TV Miniseries Theme (Bottin Cover)

19. April 2010

Free time has been scarce for me as of late and the amount of records I don’t have time to check out continues to grow. But there was one album that nagged the hell out of me because I knew it would be good and didn’t want to forget about it. It started with an [...]

Big thanks to DJ DRM for sending this one my way. This will surely be the final post of 2008, before I do my yearly wrap up, and I can’t think of a better song more suited for looking ahead to an exciting musical landscape. The truth is that I don’t know much about Floating [...]

Quick post before I take off for California for work. This one come courtesy of Roger O’Donnell, former keyboardist for The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs, Thompson Twins and more. Beautiful and subtle record performed almost entirely on one instrument – the moog synthesizer. An accomplished player, O’Donnells advantage is perspective — having played with some [...]

Really nothing like the genuine sense of discovery. It’s one of the few things that never gets old and reminds me everyday why it’s fun to play around on the Intranets. For instance, I get a CD promo in the mail, Google the artist, find three other artists (all new to me) and uncover a [...]

Second recent remix post, but I guess that’s just how it goes when people send you stuff. DJ DRM alerted me to this solid remix from Brooklyn’s Holy Ghost! of another Brooklyn artist, punk-metal warriors Panthers. What may strike you immediately upon clicking on this post are the tags — new disco, electronic/dance, etc. But [...]

The Future Sound of Oslo? A few years ago that idea may have required some creative editorial, but these days it’s impossible to deny the talent that keeps coming out of Norway. Smalltown Supersound, the label responsible for stateside releases from Jaga Jazzist, Bjorn Torske, Kim Hiorthoy and Lindstrom, may also be guilty of accelerating [...]

33hz with Devin the Dude and Teki Latex

I’ve been sitting on this particular post for a while. Keeping it for that perfect moment, sort of like when the Knicks play David Lee. Scissorkick needs a shot of energy, and who better to provide it than longtime favorites 33hz. We’ve been supporters of their indelible brand of late-era disco and electric funk way [...]

Most of you uber-hipsters already know about French remix master Joakim The guy has single-handedly carved out his own niche in the punkfunk/electronica/IDM/electro realm. This isn’t one of those “breaking” posts or anything. Basically, to keep a long story short, a friend dropped today’s post while DJing at a party and it just blew my [...]
