Iori’s Eyes “Double Soul” Genere : post trip-hop Provenienza : Milano, Italia Se ti piace ascolta anche : Massive Attack, Tricky, Air, Radiohead Gruppo italiano, milanese per la precisione, che ho conosciuto grazie a Lucien e alla sua teiera volante . Una band che, più che dalla noiosa scena musicale nostrana, sembra uscita dritta da un mio sogno. Una voce maschile (quella di Clod) e una femminile (quella di Sofia) che si uniscono, si riproducono e partoriscono della ninna nanne per bambini alieni. A voler essere più specifici, ma non troppo perché la loro musica ha sempre impresso forte il sapore del mistero ...

[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name their Top 5 rappers of all-time. To make things tricky, we've created a "Hall of Fame" of emcees (see right) who are universally respected and therefore may not be mentioned. After Baiyu brought out her fave five spitters, New York rapper Nems unleashes his top rhymers.]

Here's some more proof that I know exactly jack shit... For whatever reason, I was under the impression that DJ Nature was a new guy, but I haven't been more wrong about anything since I decided to spend my life savings of Facebook stock. Ouch. But yeah, turns out that this is just another alias of DJ Milo, one of the O.G. members of The Wild Bunch , the legendary Bristol crew that spawned Massive Attack, Tricky, Soul II Soul and basically the beast known as Trip-Hop in general. So yeah, homie's got steez, so it should ...

Comeback albums are tricky, especially for a band as beloved as Hot Water Music. Wisely, on their eighth disc (and first new album in as many years), the band decided not to recreate the past but instead forge ahead. The songs on Exister expand the boundaries of their sound without sacrificing the visceral sing-alongs that [...]

Fatima Al-Qadiri is one of a recent outcropping of soundmakers who increasingly blur the lines between pop music and multimedia installation. These pop conceptualists are more likely to refer to themselves as “multimedia artists” than musicians, and their work is often illegible without reference to their visual and textual components. Sure, you could choose to listen to last year’s Genre Specific Xperience EP in a vacuum and ignore the associated video pieces and experimental web art , but that would be missing the point… no? Maybe not. Al-Qadiri also released the Warn-U EP under the Ayshay moniker last year, and ...

We’ve posted about Ronika before on Breaking More Waves. Here’s another post. This multiple posts thing makes us suspect that we are signing up to the Ronika fan club. Earlier this year we mentioned that Ronika is not the tallest of pop stars, but as we all know that never did Kylie Minogue any harm, or Nik Kershaw for that matter. (Go look him up kids - your pop music knowledge isn’t complete until you’ve heard Wouldn’t It Be Good , I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me and have memorized all of the ...

“Up until the moment I put the needle into the outer groove of Flying Saucer Attack’s ‘Chorus’ I believed several things about recording. I believed that recordings were made in recording studios, and that recording studios were expensive, and manned by highly trained individuals with specialised knowledge of an obscure and faintly occult progress. Records were expensive to make but that was okay because recording artists sold loads of them, and anyway, record companies paid for all that stuff. Within the space of forty-five minutes I discovered that what I was listening to was made possible without any of ...

A Place to Bury Strangers were LOUD as expected, massive feedback covered pretty much all the vocals. Showcasing latest EP ‘Onwards To The Wall’, but playing a few from their self-titled debut album, an exact setlist is tricky to compile – matching up tonight’s songs with their recorded versions seems pointless as they are so [...]

The Knack--"My Sharona" (mp3) Here's a tricky one.  I have a friend for whom his "persona" seems to have become him.  And I have become weary of that.  And I don't really like the persona, for one simple reason:  I don't believe it. I watch him stand in front of a group and I see the bluster, I see the mock-not caring, I see the pretend-angry, and I think, this has gotten so old, the only reason that you can continue to pull this off is because of the regular turnover of your audience.  I also ...

Take A Walk (Peking Duk Remix) Been playing the crap out of Passion Pit’s track ‘Take A Walk‘ lately. So good! Remixing something like this should be fairly tricky, hard to even come close to the original quality. This Australian duo, Peking Duk, had a go at it. And we’re not saying they outdid the [...]

Previously on Freq I miss Coil . If that seems like speculative disrespect in this context then it’s not meant to be. Lots of this might even be Coil, since I’ve never been convinced that they’ve gone. The meat may have died but the spirits remain, flying. I hate the phrase channelling because it’s not true; those that think they’re channelling are often merely copying, repeating spectral phrases without spectral phrasing but… there’s a touch of Coil around the eyes. Someone else missed them too, perhaps. I got this as a solid, bandwidth-worrying lump of ...

Rev Run  is known as the guy to go to when you need advice. (Just check his Twitter — Run drops jewels all day.) Most of the time that advice comes in the spiritual form, but that doesn't mean the rap legend can't teach us how to have fun! PHOTOS: Turntable Trendy: Rev Run Tops The List For StyleCaster's Most Stylish DJs  Vanity Fair recently did an article asking Run what spots he liked to hit up while staying in the United States' naughtiest city, Las Vegas.

Der  DJ-Kicks -Beitrag von ihr wird hoch und runter gespielt. Und während wir uns noch nicht einmal satt gehört haben an den feinen Tunes der Londoner House-Produzentin Maya Jane Coles, schiebt die Britin gleich einen weiteren Track nach. "Opfer" ihrer Überarbeitung wurde das soulige "She's On Fire" von Bo Saris – deepe Beats und Piano-Nuancen inklusive. Hier die smoothe Neuinterpretation, welche die 60s-Soulnummer in ganz neuem Licht erstrahlen lässt:  Bo Saris - "She's On Fire" (Maya Jane Coles Remix) Maya Jane Coles hat bereits mit 15 angefangen aufzulegen - damals war es noch vornehmlich Hip Hop. Mittlerweile hat sich die 24-jährige ...
