Appleblim - 9 April 2011 @ Lawrenceville Moose

I’m heading out to this on Saturday night: Should be a great show. From what I’ve heard of Appleblim, both his productions and DJ sets are rock solid. As an experimental dubstep artist, his tracks tend to focus on off-kilter rhythms, syncopated (and brilliant) drum programming, and creative sampling. Another event organized by Pittsburgh’s fantastic VIA audio/video collective,...

New Mogwai Album! →

The band that got me through high school in one piece have a new album coming out. I’m excited. “As you may or may not know Mogwai have been spending the summer recording their new album, we’ve not said much about it so far so this is kind of what this email’s about. So, here goes: We’re delighted to announce that the new album called, ‘Hardcore Will Never Die,...

(Zeds Dead), baby.

I was having a conversation with my awesome sister the other day, who made the not-altogether-unreasonable claim that “all party dubstep sounds the same.” While I’m not the biggest fan of Rusko, High Rankin, and other bass-heavy producers, I do like the more headphone-oriented works from producers like Joy Orbison, Scuba, and Mount Kimble on Hotflush (not to mention the absurd...

Russ Chimes - Midnight Club

I’m hugely impressed with the epic music video/mini-series that director Saman Keshavarz has come up with to promote Russ Chimes’ new Midnight Club EP, due to be released later this month on Eye Industries. It’s a large undertaking that could have gone either way, but I think they’ve done a great job with respect to narrative and visuals while somehow managing to keep...

Put Your Hands Up: An Oral History of DEMF →

“I was walking through Hockeytown to Cobo Hall, and I heard a soft constant beat in the air. As I got closer to the festival, the sound formed into Pepe Bradock’s “Deep Burnt.” That’s when the reality kicked in. As I was going through the tunnel to Hart Plaza someone writing about the festival walked up to me and asked, “How did I feel about it?” ...

90 minute interview with Border Community label head/DJ/Producer James Holden courtesy of the Red Bull Music Academy. One of the more objective looks at the electronic music community, this chat seems to put things in perspective with respect to money, creativity, and life on the road. Highly recommended!

“A cat which became a celebrity by travelling around Plymouth on the bus has died after reportedly being struck by a car. Casper, a 12-year-old black and white cat, used to wait with commuters at the bus stop and then hop on to the number 3 to find a seat to curl up on.
