Mitte Januar haben die Londoner Krautpopper Walls über Kompakt mit "Into Our Midst" die zweite Single ihres letztjärhigen Zweitwerks "Coracle" veröffentlicht, zu dem uns jetzt auch ein neues Video vorliegt. Der Song selbst präsentiert sich als über siebenminütiges schwebendes Stück Ambient-Electro, welches sich aber dank seinem dezenten Beat nicht vollständig in die Traumwelt verabschiedet, sondern auch zum hypnotischen Mitgrooven einlädt. Der Kurzfilm regt hingegen unseren Geschmackssinn an, denn Regisseur Sean Rogg filmte den Enstehungsprozess eines nicht näher definierten Konfekts. Werft an dieser Stelle einen Blick auf das Kunstwerk: Walls - "Into Our Midst" Der Italiener Alessio Natalizia und sein aus Manchester ...

No, Van Halen haven't been involved in some gruesome crime, though it's not like anybody at the reunited rockers' upcoming shows is going to be calling out requests for latest release "Tattoo." But the David Lee Roth-fronted band will, in fact, be airing "Tattoo" and a previously unheard song titled "Stay Frosty" on tonight's episode of CBS crime show CSI , at least according to unofficial Van Halen site Van Halen News Desk (via Blabbermouth ). As incompatible as Diamond Dave's over-the-top rock'n'roll extravagance might seem with gritty crime-scene post-mortems, the choice is not a sign ...

At some point in every artist’s career, it becomes clear whether the formative work that they put into their early years will come to fruition. This progression seems even more evident in electronic music than others. Often with producers in there infantile stages, the works will hint at something big, but whether that something big will materialize is a question that only time can answer. Brooklyn, New York based producer Shigeto has been a major purveyor of beats based electronic music over the last several years, and though his early EPs and 2010’s Full Circle were solid efforts ...

Παραδοσιακά, ο χρόνος στο some beans κυλάει πιο αργά. Όχι τίποτα άλλο, αλλά θα νομίζετε ότι είμαστε παλαιοημερολογίτες που τώρα γιορτάζουν την έλευση του 2012 και ήδη έχουν περάσει τις θηλιές στο λαιμό τους εν όψει της επικείμενης καταστροφής του κόσμου. Βέβαια, από ότι είδα σε μια αφίσα, αυτές τις μέρες πετάνε το σταυρό στη θάλασσα οπότε ακόμα κι έτσι αργήσαμε. Είπαμε όμως, στα αποστκτήρια του some beans ξέρουμε ότι η καλή η λίτα θέλει το χρόνο της. Ιδού λοιπόν το 2ο μέρεος με τα 70 δικά μου αγαπημένα τραγούδια του 2011. 70. Boxer Rebellion - " Caught By The Light " από ...

My dear fiend and ex-neighbour sent me a mix by a Leeds resident under the name Decknologist. He's a resident of my former neighbourhood around where I used to live: Kirkstall. Home to one of the cities many sites of heritage ' Kirkstall Abbey'  . The presence of this local site definitley used to give me a sense of solemnity and thats something i thought of when hearing this mix from this specific someone from the area.  Containing a lot of the lesser known and distinctive artists of the last year or so, Decknologist presents us with a collective blend of ...
