Chus+Ceballos feat. Cevin Fisher - "Lost in Music" [Official Video] What happens when you combine the Iberican sound from the prestigious duo Chus and Ceballos and you feature the NYC flavor and voice from the legend, Cevin Fisher? You get "Lost in Music". This track sends a clear message: music is life. As we embark on this hypnotical iberican tech house groove, those driving clavs bring us deeper into the zone. Once on this journey, we slowly start to hear filtered vocals creeping in where we finally confirm that we are "lost in music". This is delivered to us courtesy ...

The Capitols--"Cool Jerk" (mp3) You're probably going to call me a bastard.  That's okay.  I've been called it before.  I'll be called it again.  I've deserved it before.  No doubt, I will deserve it again.  But sometimes it's worth it. Last Sunday, of course, was Mother's Day, so, of course, I bought a gift for the mother of my children.  Mother's Day is an interesting holiday.  It's not really a romantic holiday, even though without sex there would be no purpose to the day, but I suppose that is true ...

Motown icon Stevie Wonder is set to play a headline slot at this summer's Bestival.

Set to headline Bestival , Stevie Wonder joins New Order, The xx and Sigur Ros on the ever expanding line up. An exclusive for the Isle of Wight event, the Motown icon will run through his stellar back catalogue at the summer festival. An excitable quote from founder ...

Marc Millman was on hand for Soulive’s exceptional Bowlive 3 run at Brooklyn Bowl and put together a list of ten “lessons” he learned from the run. Here’s his take, photos and videos… 1. Soulive are a super-talented and versatile band. Over the course of ten nights, Eric Krasno and Alan & Neal Evans played with everyone from famous jazz guitar players (John Scofield) to funky horn players (Karl Denson) to great R&B; singers (Ledisi) and a legendary Funk bass player (George Porter Jr.). And they were great with all of them. I will admit to never being a huge fan of instrumental only bands. I am always happiest when singers get involved for at least some part of each ...

Former DIO members Scott Warren (keyboards) and Jimmy Bain (bass; also ex-RAINBOW) make guest appearances on "Imagine Me Alive", the debut album from SLEDGE LEATHER, the new band featuring former CHASTAIN singer Leather Leone.

Canadian artist Grimes is amongst the latest additions to the line up of this summer's Bestival. Real name Claire Boucher, Grimes has been a part of Montreal's arts scene for around a decade. Completing work on her new album 'Visions', though, it's clear that the producer regards this as a re-birth of sorts. A strangely beautiful work, 'Visions' is out on Monday (March 12th). Adding some muscle to her live show, Grimes will perform a number of European dates this summer including an exclusive visit to Bestival. Her sole British festival appearance of the summer, Grimes join ...

Today we probe into the unchartered waters of that which according to the rules of pop chapter 3 paragraph 4.2 should never be spoken of – pop stars heights. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gasp as you learn that Prince is even smaller than you think at 5’ 1’’ yes he's almost as tiny as Kylie Minogue who just clocks in at 5’ 0’’. You can have a chortle at Gary Barlow from Take That who is 5’ 7” but he still towers over band mate Mark Owen who is a midget sized  5’ 5”.  One of the ...

The godfathers of contemporary electronic dance music appear to be working on their next album with one of the godfathers of dance music's original American chart takeover. On Monday, Houston's Culture Map reported that Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, who gave disco a healthy jolt of funk before going on to produce such albums as David Bowie's Let's Dance and Madonna's Like a Virgin , would be meeting with Daft Punk about the French duo's upcoming fourth album. And now Rogers has reportedly confirmed the collaboration, which is potentially awesome news for anyone with ears and ...

I asked Santa to bring me this as it had received quite a number of excellent reviews towards the end of 2011.  I'm pleased I did. Nile Rodgers is best known as one of the founding fathers of disco thanks in part to the songs he wrote and recorded with Chic and the songs he wrote and recorded with others acts such as Sister Sledge and Diana Ross .  What I hadn't realised until picking up this immensely satisfying 300 pages was his contribution to the careers of so many others including David Bowie , Madonna and Duran Duran . OK ...

Sister Sledge have banded together with an Oscar-nominated actress and songwriter to file a major class action lawsuit against Warner Music Group alleging they were cheated out of millions of dollars based on improper calculations of revenue from digital music sales. Eminem's publisher brought a nearly identical claim against Universal Music Group and won a fairly important decision at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2010
