St. Lucia

Here’s a very cool remix for St. Lucia’s “Closer Than This” from the coolest Italian producer at the moment Stereocool. The original is already pretty cool and I’m loving this “dancing” version. It’s for free download. Let’s dance!!!

St. Lucia  - Before the dive

If this band actually were an island. I would want to go there. The bleak New York winters provided St. Lucia with the time to dwell on the past and memories. This is a great thing. If it means we get to see more long hair beast ladies dancing out of time in what looks like a disused car park. As well as 'We Got It Wrong', their other tracks are immense, its well worth dabbling in, especially 'All Eyes On You' - - - bring on a kingdom of bleakdom - - - *tries to extend arms round room* *sprains arms* *sits down* *regret*

Yeah no talent here whatsoever. None at all. Move along…JOKES. I mean, if this isn’t a full display of what raw, unadulterated music abilities represent then I don’t know what is. For those of you that were at our Boston show with these guys and The Knocks back in March, you felt the buzz firsthand. Jean-Philip Grobler is a force to be reckoned with; and if they don’t already, the rest of the world will know as soon as that full length album drops from Columbia/Neon Gold.   Tweet

I wouldn’t interrupt your listening of the Nicolas Jaar BBC Essential mix if it wasn’t worthwhile.  It seems there is an infinite amount of electro-pop based bands emerging these days but one of my favorites has to be St. Lucia. Lead by South African now Brooklyn resident Jean-Philip Grobler,their self-titled debut album is a collection [...] Video: St. Lucia – Closer Than This (Live at Spotify House) |

and we’ll keep on pushing ♫ St Lucia – Closer Than This (Viceroy Remix) Alright! Ok, I’ve heard enough buzz (and remixes!) about New York’s St. Lucia that I will have to finally check out his original material. Just let me finish this Viceroy remix. And this cocktail. And splashing the waves like a child after a heavily syruped snowcone un a summer day.… continue reading

The Great Escape (10-12 May '12, Brighton) // Words: Saam Das Unfortunately, my experience of The Great Escape was marred by a close family member passing away (thanks for all the messages of support) meaning that I spent much less time in Brighton than otherwise intended. But the time spent proved to be largely enjoyable, an appropriately great escape from my worldly worries. Indeed, I saw terrific performances, most notably from the majestic Tank">Oliver Tank and the much hyped HAIM , although failed to make it to any convention talks. Having spent the opening day of the festival visiting a hospital ...

Ben (left) & James (right) If you're at all interested or familiar with the continually popular domestic dance scene today, you know who The Knocks are.  The increasingly hyped NYC-based duo of Ben Ruttner & James Patterson have been making their heavy rounds as of late, touching down on both sides of the Atlantic and hitting the festival and club scene, all while managing to churn out quality material for us to eat up. We sat down with the fellas at the Sweetlife Festival a couple weeks back in Columbia, MD for a quick convo.  Follow up with the two's reflections on life as of late, upcoming work, and how they first came up not too long back. _____________________________________________________________________________ You guys have been super busy as of late, tell us about the last couple months. Ben - We’ve been travelling a lot - we were in California for a couple weeks recording in studios and such, and other than that we’ve been hitting spot dates. We did our own little tour from NY down to TX for SXSW - the Neon Gold tour which was us, St Lucia , Savoir Adore , all really fun. From SX we went straight to Ultra, played the main stage there which was pretty sick, and then we were in Miami for all of the Winter Music Conference as well and just hung out. James - And before that we were in London, like right before we did the Neon Gold tour, with DJ Shadow which was fun. Ben  - Yep, after all that, the travelling is chilling out for a little bit - basically after Sweelife we’re going from doing a festival or show every weekend from back at home in the studio consistently. What do you guys like most about the festival scene? James -  I like the fact that the crowd is pretty built-in, so you know you’re going to be reaching new people. And if they like it, the festival response, is way more epic than a regular show. People come to a festival and they’re just amped for whatever they’re gonna hear. Ben  - Yeah the energy is way higher, it’s much happier vibes compared to a NY show or something where everyone is so serious, in scenes like this everyone's just here to have fun. And our music is so much fun, so, it’s hard not to have a blast to it. James - Sometimes shows can be more of a showcase for an artist, A&Rs; can be there or industry people. Not that industry people don’t go to festivals, they definitely do, but I feel like the ratio is more in favor of the music lover than it would be otherwise at a scene like this. You guys mentioned going home soon - being NY - how’d you two come up initially and first link up together... READ MORE Ben  - I grew up in the boonies up in Vermont, James grew up in Connecticut, and we both did music apart originally. I used to make weird trip-hoppy instrumental stuff and he played through ...
