Singer/songwriter Adam Bainbridge, aka Kindness, sure knows how to turn on and tune us in with his latest album.

Nach längerer Pause lassen die britischen Math-Popper Foals wieder von sich Hören. Allerdings nicht mit ihrem eigenen Material, vielmehr haben die Musiker eine Compilation für das Label !K7 Records angefertigt – Heimat der renommierten DJ-Kicks -Reihe. Unter dem Titel "Tapes" erscheint Anfang Juli eine Zusammenstellung von Tracks, welche der Gruppe am Herzen liegt. Man verspricht dabei kein gewöhnliches DJ-Set, sondern hat sich ganz bewusst Stücke ausgesucht, die ein weites Spektrum an elektronischen Spielarten abdecken. So finden sich neben Nicolas Jaar und John Talabot auch House-Altmeister Frankie Knuckles und Carl Craig auf dem Werk. Ihr könnt an dieser Stelle einen Blick auf ...

A while ago, the world was introduced to Oxford electro up-and-comer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, a stylemashing performer that just happens to dress like a Stegosaurus at gigs. He’s got a new record coming out this summer — we’ve previously processed cuts like “Dream On” and John Talabot’s remix of “Tapes & Money” — and [...]

Today !K7 have announced the third installment to their Tapes series. With previous contributions from The Big Pink and The Rapture, it's Foals turn to step up. Foals Tapes will be released July 2nd. Wanting it to reflect the whole band, Foals member Edwin Congreave stated that he wanted to do something more ambitious than a throwaway DJ mix. The track listing for the tape is as follows: Nicolas Jaar – ‘Variations’, Clark – 'Ted (Bibio Remix)', Dorian Concept – 'Tropical Hands', Condry Ziqubu – 'Confusion (Ma Afrika)', The Invisible – 'London Girl', JR Seaton – 'Way Savvy (Gatto Fritto Remix)', Blood Orange – 'Dinner', Tanner ...

Hot ( Maya Jane Coles ) and heavy ( deadmau5 ), as ever this year's Sónar looks to be a heady mélange of all things musical and multimedial. Hacked into what are effectively two festivals (Sónar de Día amid the grandiose surrounds of the Ciutat Vella and the post-apocalyptic stylings of Sónar de Noche out in the conference centre hub-cum-hedonistic haven of L'Hospitalet), both better most things you could even envisage frequenting throughout the coming summer months. More pertinently however, it also happens to be the latest stop on our trawl through a selection of the finer festival happenings of this imminent ...

Oxford band Foals have announced the release of a mix CD to be released on July 2nd, along with a string of DJ dates over the summer. The mix CD is apart of the !K7’s ‘Tapes’ series which has featured The Big Pink and The Rapture. There seems to be an outcry for nostalgic music formats recently, with sales of vinyl flying through the roof for first time in years - so this classic idea couldn’t come at a better time. "We wanted it to reflect the taste of the whole band" says keyboard player Edwin Congreave , "so I ...

Barcelona's John Talabot released his debut LP f IN earlier this year to critical praise. One of the most lush tracks on it is 'When the Past Was Present'. And why? The soul-rich vocals and tense synthesiser compositions are a wad of gum on your shoe. Don't fight it. Just close your eyes and let it stick. John Talabot - When The Past Was Present

Flight Facilities are responsible for one of my favorite songs, “Crave You.” Unfortunately, this new song “With You” falls short of the bar, instead getting stuck in an almost-annoying chorus line about not being able to cheat on one’s own wife with another married person. I was marginally disappointed, until I noticed that they were doing a “full remix package” for the song, which includes an extend mix and three variations of the ...
