Apparently the Brazilians from CSS have taken over the YouTube airwaves with a homemade video of their song “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex,” made by a fan, which has just recently cumulated just over 100 million views on the popular video social network. If the figures prove to be correct, then it means the video is clearly the most viewed upon in YouTube’s history, surpassing the previous record holder, Evolution of Dance, by over…

Since it was announced, we’ve all been (more or less) eagerly expecting it, and now it finally reached us.

Tom Holkenborg, better known under his stage name moniker Junkie XL, has made quite a name for himself in the electro dance scene, over a decade of activity. He first got some recognition for his skills as a talented producer, remixer and musicians, when his version of Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation” turned into a smashing hit. Since then, he’s reworked tracks from Rammstein, Justin Timberlake or Coldplay, but also made his own, unique…
Artist name: Goldfrapp Album name: Seventh Tree Label: Mute Gender: Electronica/Ambient/Pop Release date: February 26, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.goldfrapp.com Well who ever thought, after making one of the most sexiest, sleazy and downright shocking album of the decade, in the form of Supernature, that Goldfrapp would release such a mellow fellow-up like the duo’s latest and forth album “Seventh Tree.” Most of Alison Goldfrapp’s and Will Gregory’s fanbase was built around the previous Black…
The danish synth pop duo The Raveonettes are at the center of the indie/electronica scene this week, once with the release of their latest record “Lust Lust Lust”; a return to their roots, reminiscing the dirtier sound of their 2002 debut Whip It On. Fuzzy, darkish, simmering, shimmering and reclusive, Lustx3 brings back the retro girl groups from a few decades ago and surf guitar outfits, in rock’n’roll. Lust Lust Lust is out now via…
It was clear from the very start, when we saws Goldfrapp’s video for its latest single A&E, that the duo have strayed a bit from the electro sound, that defined them in Black Cherry and Supernature. The same goes with the rest of Seventh Tree, Goldfrapp’s upcoming record, set for a release next week (February 26th). Some believe the record sounds a bit boring and too poppy. I disagree, I’m quite digging it actually; it’s…
The French electro infused duo, Justice, really have a way with videos, I mean who hasn’t seen D.A.N.C.E. and wasn’t entranced? Their latest video for “Phantom Pt. II” follows the birthday party of a child, in a French family with excellent beat dancing and directing. All in all a great new video from the duo. From Justice’s critical darling debut album †, out now on Ed Banger/Vice.
Trip-hop legends, the Brisol trio of Portishead have recently revealed the tracklist for their upcoming third record suggestively titled… “Third.” We would’ve expected a more generic title for the first album in ten years from the band, but we’re content to name it whatever it may be, as song as we get some good new music. Third has a release date set for April 28th on Island Records.
