This summer I managed to get ahold of some footage and samples of the alleged new Tron Legacy soundtrack by futuristic house DJs Daft Punk. I was sorry to find out a few days later that they were actually fakes. Today, it seems like we’ve been finally granted to hear the real deal once with the release of this latest Tron trailer, which besides revealing some incredibly awesome scenes from the upcoming 3D blockbuster, also…
The less bearded half of the funktastic duo Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip just recently released a smashing remix for Sage Francis’ “Three Sheets to the Wind”. Heavy beats, a wobbly bass line on top of Sage’s infectious lyrics makes this a great party starter, as well as another quality addition to the slew of dubstep remixes catching heat lately. Stream and download from the player below (hit the arrow button on the far…
Spontaneous and fascinating, the animated video for The Japanese Popstars’ “Let Go” will make you want to take off, clean and scrub your eyeballs. This is dirty, this is techno, this is awesome! The technique somewhat reminds me of Blu’s stop motion graffiti animation, which you guys should check out, if you haven’t already.
Hailing from the snowy plains and peaks of Alaska, Olga Bell, or Bell as she goes by her stage name, is the latest electro-pop artist to come under my radar, and its signal is very, very strong. Then again, I just recently came across her music, but she’s been gaining praises and attention from the blogosphere’s finest since 2008’s self released six track “ep”. Now, expanded to a full three piece, the band is planing…
One can see the resemblance, but is Cohen capable to fill Freddie Mercury's immense shoes? I'm skeptical.
“The Wild Hunt”, Kristian Matsson’s latest full length released this spring is, for me at least, one of the best folk albums released in the past few years, but alas like any delicious pastry for the ears, it leaves the gourmand always begging for more. Luckily, the Swede, better know for his Tallest Man on Earth moniker (he’s just 5’9″ if you’re wondering), recently released a new EP titled “Sometimes the Blues is Just a…
A few weeks ago I told you all about this wacky new cinematographic project called The Social Network which is more or less a cross between a Mark Zuckerberg’s biopic and a thriller/horror/action/drama/comedy/whatchumacallit blockbuster movie. Now, the movie may seem kinda … for lack of a better term stupid, but when a man like Trent Reznor steps up and offers his musical talents for the movie’s score, then I guess more than just an eyebrow…
I find Dan Snaith to be one of the most underrated musicians of the electronica scene today, simply because the man isn’t getting by far the kind of coverage and credit he deserves. I absolutely adored and fell in love with “Andorra” day by day as I digested the album and each track started to grow on me. With this in mind, you can imagine I had high hopes and anxious feeling regarding Caribou’s latest…
Sorry for neglecting the blog these past few weeks, but hopefully I’ll be back on my normal posting schedule starting today, and what better way to start it off than with some brand new DJ Shadow material and inside scoop. The influential hip-hop producer is set to release a much welcomed new album next year, which he assures “it will sound different from the last one” – I can only rejoice at this one, since…
I’m sitting here doing nothing any more productive than listening to a podcasted edition of the Ray Foley Show from a week and a half ago, so I may as well occupy my weary fingers with this thing: writing about one of my favourite singers. Relevantly, that singer is the charming chirpy chanteuse Amber Rubarth, and she’s just released a cover of R.E.M’s “Losing My Religion”. It’s rather spiffing.
