If you were in London on the night of the 29th of September, 2007 and you were not at Fabric shame on you. One of the most prominent figures of minimal, the Chilean Ricardo Villalobos, played that night. Luckily, for those that could not attend due to vast geographic seperation Red Bull Music Academy Radio, [...]
Matthew Dear can do it all, whether it is techno as Audion, minimal as False, or danceable pop using his given name. He also has another alias, Jabberjaw, under which he has released material on Perlon. Although he has so many projects he doesn’t half-ass any of them and that is what makes him so [...]

There’s a new video for ‘Hustler’ by Simian Mobile Disco that’s a tad bit different than the first. It’s sexy, messy, then disturbing. I think I prefer the first - a game of telephone gone very right - it is strictly sexy. Regardless, it is a monster of a song and probably my favorite [...]
The Field is Axel Willner from Sweden. He is one big reverberating crescendo that will make you go crazy at the right moments. If you have not purchased From Here We Go Sublime or heard it do yourself a favor and do so. That record will be in the top 3 of my favorite records [...]
Touane aka Marco Tonni is Italian-born but currently resides in Berlin. His style is minimal/ambient with beautiful layered textures. Last year he released ‘Bassic’, which is probably his biggest track and appeared on Tiefschwarz’s Fabric 29 mix. Watch this great video of the track ‘Eiertanz’ that aptly reflects the complexity and the constant gradient of [...]
The beautiful people of Club Firestone and Saturday/Thursday in Orlando have booked MSTRKRFT for this Thursday, October 18. This is their second visit to Firestone, which is good because I missed them the first time around. If you don’t know who they are you’ve been living under a rock because they are one of the [...]
The oh so catchy Chromeo came out with the video for their third single, ‘Bonafied Lovin’, a few days ago. The video is based on the ‘Money For Nothing’ video by the Dire Straights. Here it is if you haven’t seen it:

Crush presents Kavinsky this Monday, October 8th at Back Booth in Orlando. Kavinsky’s backstory is interesting: after crashing his Ferrari Testarossa and being declared dead he awoke as a hellbent zombie, but with an unknown motive. This is the only Florida show so you don’t want to miss this big staple [...]
DJ Howlermonkey, who by the way is a medical reasearcher in Pittsburg, has constructed a 12 track mix of your favorite Crystal Castles songs that flows pretty well. It is a useful compendium of their original tracks and remixes if they are new to you. Also check out his Italian Horror Disco Mix on his [...]
LCD Soundsystem has a heap of upcoming releases for you. They released a digital EP titled A Bunch Of Stuff on September 18 that has the Soulwax remix I posted earlier, a Carl Craig remix of ‘Sound of Silver’ (you can never go wrong with him), Franz Ferdinand covering ‘All My Friends’, a Gucci Soundsytem [...]
You can tell that dance music is the trend when all your favorite indie bands are being remixed and those songs are coming out better than the originals. The Decemberists released The Perfect Crime #2 EP today and it has superb remixes by Junior Boys, Diplo, and a Touch of Class. I never thought a [...]
Digitalism just put out another single of ‘Idealistic’ through Kitsune again 2 years later. I guess there have been a few more good remixes after the first release and after Idealism that they had to release it a second time. They also have an excellent new video for it - it is almost as [...]
