Gawky synthpop scamps quivering in corners Bergen's Casiokids  may once have been although in the wake of their third and debatably most muscular full-length, Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen, they return to the tenebrous caverns of London's underground to sell out Rivington Street's swankiest subterraneous railway tunnel, Cargo. It's our inaugural Eat Your Own Ears show of 2012, and it left us stupefied; asinine beam indelibly etched from ear to ear; genuinely thankful an irrepressible festive greed never resulted in the gnawing of aural receptors... Up first however are FAMY , who seem to be attempting some faux mystique ...

First a DJ, then a producer, then a label owner Boys Noize has become one of the dominating figures on the electro scene. Adding a techno edge to his music, Boys Noize has crafted a steady series of dancefloor mashing bangers. The German producer has an up front energy, an infectious enthusiasm which ripples through his music, virtually demanding that you get up off your set and dance. An in demand remix artist, Boys Noize recently decided tie together these guest appearances. A disparate array of productions, the remixes demonstrate the sheer versatility of the German producer. The twin CD ...

Watching yesterday’s video by newvillagers made me dig through our record collection for anything similar, we were sure we’d heard that quirky electro-tribal sound before, and seen something similar played out in a video. Turns out what we were thinking of was this underrated track by Late of the Pier, released back in 2008 to very little fanfare as the nu-rave fad was starting to wear thin. The song is all over the place, veering from off-beat and skittish electro rhythms to tribal drums at least a few times during the three short minutes of the song. The ...

Joakim - Forever Young (Discodeine Remix)French producer and artist in his own right Joakim is putting out a new album in September called Nothing Gold. I'm a big fan. My first exposure to him was as the producer of Panico, and over the years I have grooved to his remixes for the likes of Goldfrapp, Late of the Pier, Cut Copy and Friendly Fires, as well as his stellar production of Poni

Tous les amateurs de musique indépendante vous le diront, 2008 fut l'année incontournable en matière de talents naissants et de renouveau dans le genre. J'ai d'abord entendu parler d'eux au Grand [...]

As the dying embers of the scholastic season dwindle, their charred ashes are thrown to the wind and whisked away by the segueing festival-fuelled estival months, and whilst some of us struggle and strive away with presentations, dissertations, gruelling exams etc., a handful of metropolitan festivals have already bustled up some hype (see Camden Crawl / Stag & Dagger ), propelling daydreams of lukewarm lager, mires of sludge and a band or two to the fore of frontal lobes. This weekend it's the turn of DHP Group's tripartite  Dot to Dot , taking over Bristol (Saturday), Nottingham (Sunday), and Manchester (Monday) for ...

Reptar have built a good amount of hype, especially after their SXSW performances which were apparently pretty hot. They bring an energetic kind of electro indie-pop to the table, with lots of noise and catchy hooks. There are definite hints of Late of the Pier as well as garage rock going on here, and these [...]

White Belt Yellow Tag are essentially the creation of Justin Lockey (ex Yourcodenameis:Milo) and Craig Pilbin, who formed in 2008. Lockey had built up a reputation as one of the UK's leading new band producers having worked with White Lies and Late Of The Pier. With unashamedly big, anthemic, booming pop personality, their sound has been met with critic-slaying acclaim. It's two guys who like massive sounding music. And they aren't alone.
