Starks & Nacey

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Washington party starters Starks & Nacey have released a cheeky little EP off the back of their hugely successful Nouveau Riche nights. Not that I’ve ever been or intend on going to said night but that’s what the email said, and in my experience the only thing more trustworthy than an email is a man [...]

Third time lucky?

Monday, June 1, 2009

Duran Duran did it back in 1998 with Night Versions. Soulwax did the same in 2005 with their own Nite Versions. It is 2009 and Van She have ‘reworked’ their debut album, V, into Ze Vemixes.

No Sense in Moderat(ion)

Friday, May 29, 2009

I have no end of love for German electronica maestros Modeselektor, and am at least moderately fond of German minimal/IDM don Apparat, so when I heard that they were rekindling their German collaborative project Moderat (geddit? It’s a portmanteau!) I was very, very excited. So excited that I may have actually fallen off my chair. [...]

I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]

SALEM on Big Love

Sunday, April 19, 2009

When people ask which new bands they should be listening to right now, SALEM (and Telepathe) are easily my first response. Their tormented lo-fi electro with its crooked, otherworldy vocals might at times seem an uneasy listen, but there’s so much depth to it, it’s an addictive uneasy listen.
Following their first two releases on Acephale [...]

Kilometre

Monday, February 9, 2009

Like Woah! alter egos Ted & Francis sent over a package entitled ‘Fun for all’. I’m not sure if its fun, but I really like this Tellier remix I found inside. T & F define it as the ‘Chiller’ mix, it contains an extra warm bass line and just enough piano to get [...]
