New Idea #78: Shah Marg [Feature]It’s not everyday you stumble across a funk inspired psychedelic artist from India but thanks to the keen ears over at Dummy we’re currently spinning the debut EP of Channai’s Shah Marg right now. ‘Desert’ is dub through a middle eastern canon, dreamy and hazy but with an uncanny ear for melody – it’s the EP Hype Williams would’ve made if you sent them over to India and demanded the only smoked local hash and used local instruments. We’re on our second listen over at RFB HQ now and we’re still not sure if ...Rockfeedback23 May 2012

"Postmodernism as an aesthetic ideology may ..“Postmodernism as an aesthetic ideology may have fallen out of favour in the past decade or so, but the unstable, fragmentary, mocking-yet-deadly-serious schizo-aesthetic of Blunt and partner in crime Inga Copeland still seems to fascinate and surprise. What does that say about us, their fans and admirers? Probably, to be honest, that we’re a good few years behind the times. Regardless, the success of Hype Williams lends weight to a rapidly crystallising truism: that the cut’n’paste logic at work in “postmodern” art is now – thanks to the internet – just a fact of everyday existence. Blunt and Copeland ...soviet panda17 May 2012

DRIFTJust found this email from "Penelope Nettles" with the above video attached and a mysterious picture message... Suffice to say I'm not totally sure how to tag this, but Todd OESB informed me that the Japanese Youtube title translates to "DRIFT". Very nice slice of web-mode electronica that brings to mind Hype Williams etc.rose quartz4 May 2012

Lil B: The most controversial thing in hip h ..With the words "I'm gonna do the most controversial thing in hip hop," spoken onstage at Coachella 2011, Lil B more or less summed up his musical career to date. It wasn't so much the superlative self-assurance, or provocative, sneering attitude behind it, although that's all part of it. The reason this sentence truly captures Lil B is because it's a candid, open expression of what he believes he is doing. Controversy is his game, and he's arguably played it better than any other rapper in recent years. The Based God gave this speech at ...The 4053 May 2012

Listen: The Bug - 'Can't Take This No More ( ..It's been a while since we've heard from The Bug (AKA London producer Kevin Martin), but he's back and ready to get the party started. He has a new label (a subsidiary of Ninja Tune) that's based on and named after his new genre , Acid Ragga. The newly coined genre draws inspiration from Aphex Twin, Plastikman, and Phuture and "twists it into Kevin’s own perverted take on classic dancehall. Harkening back to when Sleng Teng refined Jamaican music as we know it, the Acid Ragga imprint will forever scar the face of raggamuffin reggae.” Wow ...The 40527 April 2012

Although she was unfamiliar with the performing artists, she has a high tolerance, and sincere appreciation, for difficult music. And although she was exhausted, from both work ...Tiny Mix Tapes27 April 2012

A lovely boyUn ragazzo adorabile. Anche se ogni tanto ti sussurra nell'orecchio inviti irripetibili. "Suona osceno, ma so che tu lo sai fare". Gioca così, tra seduzioni in chiaroscuro ed energica cassa in quattro, il nuovo ep di Wolther Goes Stranger intitolato A Lovely Boy . Proprio come la musica che si muove dentro un'elettronica gelida, quasi austera, pur essendo capace di suonare calda e palpitante con l'innesto delle voci (in italiano e in inglese, alternati come in uno scioglilingua) o di certi pianoforti liquidi. Wolther è il progetto di Luca Mazzieri, già chitarrista di A Classic Education, insieme a ...polaroid > un blog alla radio >22 April 2012
