in keb darges own words: i ve done many a compilation in my day, mostly based around the tunes i played at my long running deep funk nights in madame jo jos. that night is no longer on the go, possibly due to a growing lack of interest on my part, (sorry). in the last few years the lost & found: nights at the club have been my real passion, and indeed little ediths and andy smiths passion too. what a marvelous era this is for good music. we may still have pure stuff like dub step: pulling in large numbers of sheep, but an equal number of youngsters are being attracted to retro, or at least retro sounding music. people tell me it is because the youth are fed up with computerized music, or men with drug problems angrily shouting at them over a dull repetitive beat, but i know lots of teenagers who have bypassed this muck all together. must be the internet that is helping kill off the demand for empty music. you no longer need to go to a retro club night, or indeed search out rare records to be exposed to good music, the internet is full of the stuff. my fifteen year old daughter is a marc bolan fan who while researching the poor fellows influences discovered chuck berry, sun records, etc, etc. i dont really know or understand why so many are at last getting into the good stuff, but they are, and it is wonderful for the likes of me.

being a product of the age it was written, slow clubs 2009 debut, yeah so, dealt with the all too familiar space between adolescence and the oncoming storm of adulthood. a boy-girl duo who played a flower-adorned chair live, they were the polar opposite of what was coming out of post-arctic monkeys sheffield. slow club were fun, cute, whimsical and all manner of other words just shy of twee - and they hate being called twee. paradise, however, is where the duo grows up. two years on, it stumbles out of a trivial, self-indulgent teenage malaise (where sexual adventure was priority for most) and carries itself with a sense of perspective that only adulthood can give - a darker, more thoughtful view of the world. for instance, on the poignant you, earth or ash, a song about rebecca taylor s granddad, her melancholic vocals (beautiful, as always) evoke an awareness of mortality for those around her: singing -and i know, soon you ll go,- her voice seemingly breaks under the weight of premature grief. whereas even love-wise (an inspiration every band draws from) slow club s lyrical output is glossed with a more mature and detached sense of sauce, with taylor crooning on where i m waking: -i can see you looking at me / you got the brains i ve got the body-.

ein super album zwischen krachkapelle und indie-rock-kombo des trios aus columbus, ohio usa stellt eine kleine zŠsur in der bisherigen laufbahn von times new viking da. es ist das erste mal, dass die band ein studio fuer die aufnahmen vom neuen werk dancer equired aufgesucht haben. doch statt die Ÿblichen wege ihres diy-geistes aufzugeben, besinnen sich jared phillips, beth murphy & adam elliot auf ihre staerken und treiben so den sound voran ohne dabei auf das times-new-viking sche scheppern und krachen zu verzichten.

amiable new york city-based alt-rockers spin doctors hit it big in 1993 with the jam band hits -two princes- and -little miss cant be wrong,- both of which fueled many countless collegiate afternoons spent hacky sacking and devil stick juggling amidst a sea of red plastic cups. released in 2011, the best of spin doctors, which doesnt differ too much from 2000s just go ahead now: a retrospective or 2009s playlist: the very best of spin doctors, features 18 tracks culled from the groups three albums for epic. front-loaded with the groups two biggest, aforementioned hits, the collection loses steam as it progresses (though there are some tight, 70s-inspired nuggets to be found like -mary jane- and -cleopatras cat-), due in no small part to the groups penchant for always staying in its comfort zone.

mikael feels very lucky that he had the chance to work with artists who he admires and trust.etten is the voice of this project, however, in a mysterious way her voice sounds like the listeners inner voice .billie ray martin in her also excellent performance confesses to us her oedipal relationship with her mother, this constant bond we are all prisoners of. tech me away is an album made of sounds and references to good old techno. mikael didnt follow whats in fashion in music at all. he only followed his instinct.

sehr gelungenes electro-album!

dj roc shows off his brilliant high-speed sparse manipulations of rhythm, space and sound as in the dancehall.then there are tracks that mix smooth soul with double-speed like i cant control the feeling, to tracks which have more of a classic juke feel like get buck jones and dj roc symphony. the album is full of brilliant production and original ideas.

with the duo we love, ellen allien has sought out the golden needle in the haystack of current club music. its almost impossible to resist the charm of the sweet giorgia angiuli, with her alluring brown eyes, and the wild locks of the contemplative, emotional piero fragola. the pairs debut album could become the chorus of the summer. their enchanting songs fuse the ecstasy of club land with the emotions of pop. giorgia and piero moved from the south of italy to florence and immersed their intimate love songs in a synthetic glamour.

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

arran was doing a photography course when she joined the band, and at her first rehearsal she brought along a notebook. written on it was dark room notes. we had gone through numerous terrible names, and felt this was one we could settle on. we were lucky she wasnt doing a knitting course. >we love you dark matter< was recorded in a live setting as such, keeping over dubs to a minimum.

like hardly any other contemporary dj, catherine britton aka cassy is living at the interfaces between reduction and soul, jazzy deep house and geometrically structured techno. and it comes as no surprise, because being the english-born daughter of a caribbean father and an austrian mother, cassy started at a very early age to develop a sense for artistic aesthetics that draws its special magic from the >in-between< especially. being resident in berlin since 2003, she quickly gained a residence at the panorama bar, worked as a producer with such renowned musicians like ricardo villalobos, luciano, mathew jonson or swayzak and releases her music on labels such as perlon, ostgutton as well as on her own imprint cassy. simply devotion, cassys 2nd mix cd after the highly acclaimed panorama bar 01 compilation is a proof of her love for deep house of a different kind, which has - despite occasional flashes of souly vocals - nothing to do with garage house and handbag factor

the fifteenth release on minimal wave, presented with original artwork on the cover, is stereos >somewhere in the night< cd. two of the tracks: somewhere in the night and no more first appeared on their 12inch releases in 1982 and 1983 respectively, and are now highly sought after. both tracks became cult dance floor hits, and received radio airplay in europe and the us throughout the 80s until now. the rest of the cd brings together the french bands best studio recordings from 1982-1985. the cd is presented in a digipak, includes a card insert with photos of the band, and all copies are hand-numbered. the cd includes 2 bonus tracks.

blessed with a lavishly soulful voice, alices sound is modern, but firmly rooted in the past Ð surpassing the likes of duffy and adeles impersonations of the soul greats, alices records are extremely refreshing. likewise, her live performances are truly unique, capable of captivating an audience and holding its attention throughout, expertly tugging at individual heartstrings. her smouldering blues-inflected lament is constantly evolving in her solo material, thanks to collaborations with other producers which have encompassed everything from funk to soul, gospel to jazz, and to hip-hop and beyond.

exile began his musical career in 2000, releasing drum & bass on labels such as beta and moving shadow, but as the years progressed, his sound started to become more complicated and abstract. this was mostly due to his obsession with the reaktor software, which enabled him to spend much of his time creating new and interesting sounds from scratch. his debut full-length, 2006s pro agonist, saw him add elements of breakcore to his constantly mutating yper-breakbeats, but that gradual change in style is nothing compared to the total departure that hes taken on listening tree. long-term fans may be shocked to know that listening tree is peppered with exiles own vocal tracks, as he tackles issues such as britains buy-now-pay-later culture, and even the dynamic nature of the universe on family galaxy, the first single. >family galaxy< is about the constant process of change that underpins everything, explains exile. its a tale from a thingless world where nothing stays the same. as now shines its shifting shades on then, so our ideas of what we have done and will do continually morph.the result is an eccentric electro-pop album that is just as likely to appeal to fans of hot chip as it is otto von schirach

with the influence of the experimental duo minit, jasmina maschina creates her own surprising and pucker sound. an absolutely new experience of simple slowly strummed affairs of guitar chimes, keyboard chords and folk elements.

this compilation presents the amazing vocal jazz recordings of a dutch lady,who already became a living legend with her 50 year stage jubilee.moreover she is constantly going strong with over 80 live performances in changing musical formations within the year 2007.

three years after his groundbreaking album >the meaning< (playhouse, 2004) thomas melchior presents his new longplayer >no disco future<. skills and experiences thomas gained throughout the years are innumerous. to mention just a few: along with tim hutton he formed the duos vulva and yoni who were releasing on aphex twins label rephlex, on the us-label reflective, and for german electronica pioneers source records. with his mate peter ford he forms the duos sunpeople and soul capsule (and various others). the new album sounds less microhousy and more homogeneous. slightly spherical soundscapes perfectly unite with discreet vocals building very harmonical structures..
