OK enough brooding from me. It’s time to start dancing again. I need a cowbell and some clapping to get started. Wait, Matt Edwards has the remedy. He begins with the bell and the clapping but then an addictive six-note scale chimes in. After that you’ll be dancing all the way to bliss. If you [...]
I recently received an album from Plastic Operator, who many have compared to Postal Service, that found me at a time where the album could resonate most effectively. It is called Different Places, but it seems that we are in fact in the same place - heartbreak. Mathiew Gendreau and Pieter Van Dessel seem to [...]
I can only assume that Basteroid is a combination of the words bastard and asteroid, which both have a grand significance in my life. Quick story: my parents had me about 4 years before their wedding - bastard; asteroid - the only game they had at the sub shop where they met in Chicago. [...]
Yellow jump suites, tea party, nude pictures, monkeys, chainsaw, chase in the woods, strobe lights, dance party! What? New Modeselektor Video - ‘Black Block’ - Directed by Christian Feldhusen:

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:
Here are the better remixes out there of ‘Bonified Lovin’ - the Tronik Youth [...]
