Spanish dance producer John Talabot is a master of the slow-build. His sense of pacing is uncanny, timing the point of release just so, for maximum release of pure pleasure, whether it be the ecstatic chants that unfold on his 2009 breakout single "Sunshine" , or the gorgeous yo-yo synths that bounce behind Glasser frontwoman Cameron Meisrow's voice on last year's "Families" . Following in the latter track's footsteps is "Destiny", a cut from Talabot's forthcoming LP, fIN , which features contributions from like-minded producer Pional . The song finds Talabot working in darker confines, with a squishy low end ...

We’ve been getting strong feedback on every new Clock Opera track we’ve posted, so interesting to see how people will react to this collaboration- new single Once and For All remixed by the Godfather of English dance, Andrew Weatherall. Weatherall’s been at the forefront of dance since setting up original UK ravers crew Junior Boys Own in the mid 80s. Since then he’s manned the desk for Primal Scream’s recently resurrected classic Screamadelica , plowed out an immense amount of pioneering work under his own name (as well as the Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone ...

Επιτέλους, ήρθε η στιγμή που περιμένατε! (Το ξέρουμε ότι δυσκολευόσασταν να κοιμηθείτε τελευταία!) Μετά από επανειλημμένες ακροάσεις σε λίγες εκατοντάδες δίσκους και μερικές χιλιάδες τραγούδια, μπορούμε πλέον να βάλουμε καπάκι στο μουσικό 2011 και να δούμε τι μας έμεινε περισσότερο. Και μας έμειναν, όπως θα δείτε σε αυτό και τα επόμενα ποστς, πολλά. Τα κομμάτια που μας άρεσαν ήταν πάρα πολλά οπότε το να ξεχωρίσουμε (και να γράψουμε για) τα κορυφαία 60 δεν ήταν καθόλου εύκολη δουλειά, αλλά δεν θέλαμε να αδικήσουμε κανένα απ'όλα όσα μας κράτησαν συντροφιά σε μια πολύ γεμάτη χρονιά. Έτσι λοιπόν... 60. Jamie Woon - "Night ...

Originally released in 1992 through Diamond and then given a larger scale release through Junior Boys Own a year later, “Song To The Siren” is the track that established The Dust Brothers as one of the most exciting new production outfits in the UK. The duo would of course go on to change their name [...]

John Foxx & The Maths are set to release their new album 'The Shape Of Things' on March 19th. One of the founding fathers of British electronic music, John Foxx appears to have been rejuvenated of late. The producer has a studio in London, which he and his collaborator Benge use to participate in vivid sonic experiments. Clearly entering a productive streak, John Foxx & The Maths are set to release their new album 'The Shapes Of Things' on March 19th. The second album from this collective, 'The Shapes Of Things' is a more reflective offering than last year's 'Interplay' set ...

Click here for download Sounds like: Toro y Moi, Washed Out, Junior Boys Song: Underwater Seacreatures - Speak Up [download here ] What's so good? Meet Underwater Seacreatures, a duo from Richmond, Virginia with a refreshing grasp on experimental glo-fi or “fro-fi,” if you will. Their debut self-titled EP was just released, and I have a feeling that this group is going to gain speed sooner than later. I was hooked from the first song I heard. I immediately felt engulfed in a wave of smooth, silky post-R&B; synth sex. These guys have a fantastic perspective for tastefully melding and crossing ...

2011 was pretty amazing and monumental! I knew that it would be a big year this time last year but you never know how things will play out. It was a year I took some calculated risks and got to do amazing things that I knew I was supposed to do. It will forever be burnt into my brain that I got to throw a killer music festival and have Daniel Johnston headline it. It was also great to be able to invite and so many other artists I love.  I am working on the follow up to Middle of ...

Now that I have posted my favorite albums its time to move on to a discussion about the best tracks of 2011. Before I list my favorites I suggest you listen to U-Tern's best tracks of 2011  first. You done listening? Cool, now lets get to our list. There was so much great music out there. I am sure I have missed a ton of it. These aren't necessarily the biggest tracks of the year (note no Adele) but the tracks that I particularly enjoyed and listed to many times. Love to hear some of the largest oversights ...

Je ne justifie pas un tel succès autrement que par le double silence des Junior Boys et Hot Chip. Une pensée émue pour eux. NZCA/LINES - Okinawa Channels
