Click to enlarge The long-speculated collaborative track for Converse that Gorillaz announced in November , finally has its missing pieces. The brainchild of Damon Albarn will share a credit with James Murphy and Andre 3000 on the sure-to-be ridiculously good song. "DoYaThing" drops February 23, and according to the Sun , who seem to have heard it, it's quite Plastic Beach -y. Speaking to EW , Albarn said the kind of "spontaneity" the three achieved was key. “I look for it all the time. It doesn’t always arrive on my doorstep, but it’s something I aspire to.” Albarn-as-Gorillaz most recently ...

James Blake hat einen Song von D'Angelo für den Radiosender BBC 1 neu abgemischt. "Left & Right" stammt von der wegweisenden Platte "Voodoo", die der R'n'B-Soulster im Jahre 2000 veröffentlichte. Zuletzt machte Michael Eugene Archer, so sein bürgerlicher Name, auf sich aufmerksam, als er  Soundgarden s Grunge-Klassiker "Black Hole Sun" neu interpretierte ( motor.de berichtete ). James Blake hingegen veröffentlichte kurz vor Jahreswende nicht nur seine neue EP "Love What Happened Here" ( motor.de berichtete ), auch gab er eine sehr ansprechende Visualisierung zum Track " A Case Of You " heraus. Für "Left & Right" hat der Produzent nicht nur sein Pesudonym Harmonimix, unter dem er auch schon Snoop Dogg oder Destiny's Child remixte, angenommen. Er verleiht dem Stück mit schemenhaften Bass-Effekten und verzerrten Stimmen den typisch Blake'schen Sound. Hier könnt ihr euch einen auditiven Eindruck machen: D'Angelo - "Left & Right"  (James Blake Remix) James Blake gehört ohne Frage zu den wichtigsten Künstlern des Jahres 2011. Nachdem seinen EPs "CMYK" und "Klavierwerke" auf R&S; Records veröffentlicht wurden, folgte zu Beginn des Jahres sein hochgelobtes Debüt , das auch in unseren Top 20 Alben 2011 einen Spitzenplatz ergattern konnte. Der aus London stammende Blake studierte gemeinsam mit Katy B. an der Goldsmiths University of London populäre Musik. Im motor.de-Interview sprach er über Vertrauen, die Freiheit des Musikkonsums und den Rummel um seine eigene Person. Neben  Nicolas Jaar  gehört er zu den inoffiziellen Vertretern der  entschleunigten elektronischen Musik  2011.

To celebrate D'Angelo's return , Blake played a remix of the R&B; star's  Voodoo single "Left & Right" during  a guest DJ set on BBC Radio 1 this weekend, as  Disco Naïveté points out. The remix came by way of Blake's Harmonimix moniker, under which he has also reworked songs by Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and Destiny's Child. Blake mentioned that he is working on his next full-length, noting that it is "quite possible" it will be out by ...

(Deception Island, 2011) I don't go in for a lot of the synth-based experimental stuff coming out lately.  Or, rather, I have no real impulse to even listen to it.  It's probably as good as anyone is saying it is, or something.  (Are people saying it's good?  What am I even talking about?)  I get confused.  And I'm am getting older.  I mean, I'm almost 30.  Pretty soon here you won't be able to trust anything I say.  Wow...I'm almost 30.  It feels like I shouldn't be writing a lame music ...
