darkside is the collaborative duo of guitarist/composer dave harrington and electronic producer nicolas jaar. darkside summon a hybrid of electronic music, psychedelic rock, and dancefloor techno with the sort of artistic depth and breadth for which the term progressive was coined. darksides first fulllength album-released on nicos own other people label in conjunction with matador records-is called psychic. darksides psychic is a watershed moment for the duo, a quantum leap forward from their 3-song debut, 2011s darkside ep. at any given moment, psychic encompasses the ritualistic structures and methodologies of krautrock, the cosmic exploration of classic space-rock, and the immersive, body-moving transcendence of 21st century house and techno-but, working with the finishingeach- others’-sentences fluidity of kindred spirits, dave and nico synthesize it all into a living, breathing whole.

uk house/disco duo casino times are happy to announce the first in a brand new series of hand stamped, limited italo/disco edits curated or produced by the fun loving boys themselves. casino times have been releasing their own brand of catchy, neatly swung, dance floor ready disco and house on labels like wolf music and needwant. it is not often that an artist can be defined by such a distinctive sound whilst still maintaing a varied and extremely open minded approach to music production and djing. no two of their tracks are similar, yet somehow you will be sure you are listening to a casino times song before it reaches the chorus. their productions sit so comfortably on that precarious boundary that so many artists struggle to sit, while they are emotionally charged they are also extremely dance floor friendly and are as fun as they are provoking. the first in the series (casino edits 001) comes courtesy of the london based duo themselves and is testament to what the series intends to achieve… limited hand stamped copies.

jessy lanza s debut album *pull my hair back*, co-written and co-produced with jeremy greenspan from junior boys, is a 2013 flagship for what electronic pop could sound like, stripped of bloated, behaviourist impulses that treat listeners like lab rats. it is graceful and erotic without the gratuitous close ups, icey and sensual, sweet without rotting your teeth, emotional but with enough blue glow to pull your heart strings. jessys voice flutters through the synths seductively, insistent without the over-singing and grating choruses that plague so much contemporary pop. jessy lanza has a background as a singer and skilled piano scholar, and the duo share a mutual love of collecting the old hardware synths and drum machines that grace this collection of songs. transecting r&b, house, disco and 80s studio rock, the production is immaculate, reminiscent of early junior boys, treading that fine line between cold futurism and the r&b that jessy and jeremy are infatuated with.
