Jam City has unveiled his new 'Classical Genesis' mix ahead of his upcoming debut album. A lunchpin of the Night Slugs team, Jam City's music seems to express quite clearly the label's outlook. Chatting with Clash recently, the producer came closer than ever to providing a neat, coherent, definition: “For a couple of years now I (along with the rest of Night Slugs) have been trying to prove that House is Grime, Grime is Techno, Techno is Synth-Pop, Synth-Pop is Hip-Hop etc etc etc and will keep on doing that until people get it." Upcoming debut album 'Classical ...

Das britische Dance-Pop Duo Chew Lips gibt einen ersten auditiven Vorgeschmack auf sein zweites Studioalbum. Wann genau dieses erscheinen soll ist bisher allerdings genauso unklar, wie dessen Titel. Eine Umstellung wird das neue Werk allemal bedeuten, immerhin mussten Sängerin Alicia 'Tigs' Huertas und Mitmusiker James Watkins nach dem Ausstieg von Will Sanderson für die Aufnahmen erstmals als Duo agieren. Die erste Single namens "Do You Chew?" präsentiert sich lässig-lassziv und groovt dezent vor sich hin. Dass die Londoner auch zu zweit ein Gespür für eingängigen Pop haben, könnt ihr an dieser Stelle erkunden: Chew Lips - "Do You Chew?" Bereits kurz ...

Das Brooklyner Trio We Are Augustines präsentiert sein drittes Video zu "Juarez" – das Stück findet sich ebenso wie zuletzt " Book Of James " auf ihrem im März erschienenden Debüt-Album " Rise Ye Sunken Ships ". In den zwölf Titeln des Erstlings verarbeitet Sänger Billy McCarthy seine persönliche, bittere Lebensgeschichte – in der traumatischen Vergangenheit begangen seine Mutter sowie sein Bruder Suizid. Musikalisch spiegelt sich das in einem symbiotischen Klangteppich aus akustischen Klängen, elektronischen Flächen und sowohl traurigen als auch mutmachenden Texten wider. Die sonnigen Seiten des Lebens gibt es im neuen Clip zu sehen: We Are Augustines - "Juarez" Die Wurzeln der heutigen Dreier-Formation von ...

So many artists these days claim that to be influenced by Miami freestyle, but few ever seem to show rather than tell. Paris' Surkin (aka Benoit Heitz) is one of few to actually put that claim into practice, and his recent " Lose Yourself " single, featuring singer Ann Saunderson, for his own Marble label, is a case in point. Diva dance vocals pair with '80s synths and drum programming for a sound that would've shook 1987 (two years after Surkin was actually born) like no one's business. Even more recently, however, Surkin dropped the USA Club Mixes EP, which ...

When I was nine years old, I heard a track by the Bee Gees on the radio called 'You Win Again'. There was something in the melody, or maybe the hook, that utterly haunted and compelled me to play it over and over again. I didn’t know why I liked it, just that I did. The song refused to leave my head, and gripped me to such an extend that I sat in front of that weeks top of the pops with a cassette recorder (the 'mic' being about three quarters of the size of a five pence piece ...

Movement Festival has unveiled the first names on the line up for this year's event. Detroit is America's outlaw city. At its height, the population stood at more than 2 million citizens with the area's motor industry helping to fuel immense growth. Since the industry's collapse, though, Detroit has fallen with little more than 750,000 residents remaining. Aiming to unite the city's history for musical innovation with a sense of renewal, Movement is the largest outdoor event in Detroit. Returning this summer, the festival has confirmed the first names on the line up. Public ...
