in thrall to all that is brightest and best, highest and indeed lowest and most primal in british youth culture, klaxons see no distinction between celebrating their love of the madness and melodies, the ecstasy and euphoria of early 90s hardcore rave with making some of the brightest, sharpest guitar music around today. the band describe their sound as josef k-meets-baby d with a twinkle in their eye, surely the first to mention those names in the same sentence. >we are about fusing the things we listen to constantly,< says bassist jamie reynolds. >its about accessible pop music. we re trying to take it back by wanting to make a brilliantly overblown pop record!< single of the week in the nme, the video is hammered by mtv2 and snared the band sessions on xfm and radio 1.the remix package is awesome,mentionning the van she remix which is the tool for the cool dj this summer

after his comeback single for playhouse we salutÉ nick calingaert back on the block with this detroit influenced italo stormer. analog feeling is the key word here ! straight jacking chicago groove with a murder bassline and soaring strings takes the track to higher level while slightly misjointed analogeffects tackles your toes. phonique who is currently riding high with remixes and releases on fine, simple and buzzing fly turns >through< into summer maddnesswith groovy drumprogramming and a strong breakdown perfect for those outdoor parties we all wait for !holmar filipsson (from mr negative/thugfucker fame) is keeping it real with a even more summery feel with light melancolic string work and minimal beats. with his own words >this is happy house as its best< – we think so too !

avida perfectly fit in with a kind of underground music that was getting all the rage in italy in those days: nonsense music (musica demenziale). the structures were intentionally primitive, often made on cheap electronics. maurizio damis vocals , inspired on early 60s italian singers (to carry on and close the typical 20 years cycle of revivals), such as edoardo vianello, had an appealing mix of trash and humour. avida was essen tially a live band. their performances were a mix of theatre and music, where visuals played a major role. anyway, today some of that music still sounds interesting and not only due to its lyric. in our opinion about the best music alexander robotnik ever made

i hate models with a double cd longplayer for perc trax.

the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

surgeonÕs new full-length, luminosity device, takes bardo thoedol - the tibetan book of the dead - as a starting point for a rhythmic journey into those interstitial spaces where body, mind, and soul no longer seem like distinct categories. it has the potential to turn anything from a club visit to a train commute into a collision with the otherworldly.

hot off the heels of the beautiful obsolete machines lp released this month, radiuss cassette demo restoration project returns to form with the interpolation tapes series. the original source tapes had aged, warped and degraded and as a result we ve preserved the best segments, sampled and reprocessed with a vintage prophet 2000 sampler, studio 440 and various linn samplers to add depth and range to the original source material. we ve spent nearly an entire year restoring and interpolating over 100 hours of music, processing sound and redesigning the blueprints of this long forgotten project. every track was originally recorded down to an old tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. we ve had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life. it s been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting and re-arranging these masters, regardless of the time passed, there s so much depth in sound design, raw emotions and when considering the limitations of hardware in the era these were recorded, they ve truly aged like a fine wine. we hope you enjoy this magical time in music, as we are very inspired by all that was happening in those years, theres undeniably something in the air, a mystifying energy, long may it live on.

the sound of studio one can be identified by the great singers that it cultivated along the many great songs that these singers released. but as studio 1 s dominance was slowly pulled away by the up and coming new breed of producers many of the artists would inevitably end up working for these new camps and so the songs and singers found a new audience. the reggae sound of the studio 1 would make a great combination and the man to pull this was together bunny lee.
