Guido’s vision of “Afrika” starts with the drums. Smacked Djembes incite the ritual around the 30 second mark, ceremonial thumps that set the stage for occult keys and synthesizers that sound like they were stolen from a lost Swizz Beatz vault. “Down Bottom” meets dubstep was once the mathematics in the orchestral lab. But while… Continue reading »

Under the Radar caught up with Caribou frontman Dan Snaith on break from his band's tour with Radiohead to discuss what he's been up to since Swim, his plans for his next album, his formative influences growing up in suburban Canada, and why a PhD in mathematics doesn't necessarily translate to an enhanced musical acumen.

Die drei Herren von Stabil Elite gehen ab Mai auf große Deutschland-Tournee. Zuletzt erhielten die Düsseldorfer mit ihrem Debüt " Douze Pouze ", welches im März bei Italic Recordings erschien, überwiegend positive Kritiken. Hinter dem Namen stehen Lucas Croon, Martin Sonnensberger und Nikolai Szymanski. Sie kreieren mit ihrer Musik eine bewunderswerte Melange aus Kraut-Pop, Elektronik und Einschlägen kosmischer Musik. Nachdem im Januar bereits einige Teaser veröffentlicht wurden, die einen ersten Vorgeschmack auf das Album gaben ( motor.de berichtete ), gab es kürzlich erstmals den selbstgedrehten Clip zu "Expo" zu begutachten ( motor.de berichtete ). Diejenigen, welche sich von den experimentellen Klängen des Trios auch ...

Another week, means more unreleased Ocean">Frank Ocean ! “Math” is more in vein with the Odd Future crooner’s style, after last week’s BackStreet Boys demo, “PDA”. While   I hate everything that has to do with mathematics, Ocean sees the positive side, as he sums up that a girl is the solution to any problem.   Source

Castro, outside the window, selling la to the Darkman. Kung fu flicks. Brooklyn, you know. South Philly, you know. Monty Hall in the gallery. Zilla, stylish with bullet-proof confidence. Bad bitches and bad attitudes means mathematics has been studied. Vodka in the freezer. Todd Koppel looking nervous. Moms rocking Ghostface, not the Chef. Respect tape… Continue reading »

Apart from levels of excitement when faced with the project of shoe shopping, there is little that highlights the disparities between men and women than attitudes to sex. And this particular facet of the sex industry, is particularly telling, yet isn’t often talked about. For men, one can only presume they imagine they are speaking to an attractive semi-naked woman, who really is using whips and chains while chatting provocatively on the phone. For women, they probably guessed that those working for sex chat lines are just milling about in tracksuit bottoms – but not necessarily that they would take ...

Die Düsseldorfer von Stabil Elite haben ein neues Video zum Song "Expo" veröffentlicht. Der Track befindet sich auf " Douze Pouze ", dem Debütalbum des Trios, das jüngst bei Italic Recordings erschien. Lucas Croon, Martin Sonnensberger und Nikolai Szymanski kreieren auf dem Songdutzend eine imponierende Melange aus Kraut-Pop, Elektronik und Einschlägen kosmischer Musik. Nachdem im Januar bereits einige Teaser veröffentlicht wurden, die einen ersten Vorgeschmack auf das Album gaben ( motor.de berichtete ), gilt es nun eine längere Visualisierung zu bestaunen. Der in Eigenregie entstandene Clip zeigt in geheimnisvoller Schwarz/Weiß-Ästhetik allerhand bizarre Szenen zwischen Kunst-Installation und Sekten-artiger Zusammenkunft, zu den experimentellen Klängen ...

Odd Future members Jasper Dolphin, Taco Bennett, and Lionel Boyce made auspicious steps towards stardom by appearing in their BFF Tyler, the Creator's video for "Bitch Suck Dick" — Jasper had a plus-size workout, Lionel ripped open his shirt, and Taco sat bare-assed on a filet of Waygu beef (we're assuming it's Waygu — only the best). And though Boyce just wrapped up a stint writing a deeply enjoyable column for the LA Weekly (and performed 2011's funniest rap skit, "L-Boy Interlude" from Domo Genesis' Under the Influence ), these guys are decidedly lower-profile than Tyler and the prodigal ...

Today is winter. The dump was freezing and the wind felt Arctic. I swear the people in the car beside me were speaking Russian. If records were being kept, the fastest dump runs in history would be today’s. Last night the wind howled and the house shook. I was glad the new palm tree was [...]

Although this Chrome Experiment by  + Felix Woitzel  is called ‘Fluid Simulation with Turing Patterns’, you certainly don’t need a background in mathematics to appreciate the beautifully complex color movements here. The textures, which were created with WebGL, make for a vivid example of what’s possible with modern web technologies. These screenshots show some of the colorful patterns that you can create by tracing your cursor around the screen. You can find the Chrome Experiment here:  http://goo.gl/EH9E1 . Remember you need Google Chrome to use it.
