It's finally here. The debut album of SebastiAn. Total. This ones a packed release with 22 tracks! In the collection are some classic old tracks such as Dog, Motor and Ross Ross Ross, which have all seen LP treatment. The album features his most recent single 'Embody'; a funk-spritzed hit, quite unlike anything hes produced before!

Busy P (Pedro Winter/Head Honcho of Ed Banger Records) said this about the single:

"Embody" is not the boring "banger" you could expect from the man responsible
for heavy weight club hits "Smoking kills?" "Walkman" and "Ross Ross Ross"
Do I need to remind youI signed him for darker sounds like "Head/off", "shoot" or "HAL" ?
Did you know Daft Punk said he delivered the best remix they ever had for "Human after all" ?
When I heard "Embody" for the first time I imagined Prince and Sebastian in Paris, sharing a glass of wine."

Embody by Sebastian
Directed by SO-ME

In his own words:
"What I can give to an audience is my own truth. That comes from when I follow a need, something that has started to live inside me. It’s important to take the audience on a journey. People want to dance and be removed from their daily duties. There’s also a religious moment of a spiritual kind––a unification."

The album has a healthy amount of collaborations like M.I.A., Gaspard Auge (Justice), and Mayer Hawthorne, whose vocals are hypnotic and will most definitely have you putting 'Love In Motion' on repeat, and a signature track 'Yes couldn't of been more aptly named. Similar to Boys Noize's 'Yeah!', if you catch out drift. 'Total' still reeks with sebastiAn's signature sound. Noise, saturation, crackles, but always dirty funky. Blow this shit up!

Words and Pictures, Dan Gresham's third album

Dan Gresham aka Nu:Tone has recently released his new album 'Words and Pictures' on the infamous Hospital Records, which he has been signed to since 2003 and it sounds as if he is attempting to put vocal d'n'b back out there. It's jam packed with collaborations with the likes of: Heidi Levo, Kyan (with some soulful vocals), Natalie Williams, (who features on 4 of the songs!)

There are some wonderful tracks on this album including the opener, 'Shine In' with Natalie Williams, beautiful voice. Then there is 'The Feeling' with Ben Westbeech, definitely more of a Hospital vibe to this one. 'Coming Back' has a sharp edge to it with some delightfully crafted progressive sliding bass, Heidi Levo is on vocals for this masterpiece. Nu:Tone has also integrated some downtempo, dubstep-ish beat into 'Set Me Free' Overall, it's a varied album showing this producer can fire on all cylinders.

Super Acid

2011-03-04T17:46:00.000-08:00

'Boys Noize has compiled 12 modern acid jams done by BNR artists and homies like Feadz, Joakim & Krikor and Brodinski tributing 20 years of Acid.

How to make a classic Acid track ?

First you need a Roland-Tb 303 Bassline which – back in 1982 – was made for musicians to replace the actual bass or guitar. It’s manual is the most annoying thing to read because it teaches you classic music lessons, no wonder that the idea of the Roland TB 303 been a real instrument have failed and noone wanted to buy the it.

In the middle of the 80′s Dj Pierre, member of Phuture produced a 12min track “Acid Trax” with just a drumachine and the 303, a total new sound created for the clubs. Shortly after a few more producers put that “useless” thing together with a drummachine like the Roland Tr 808 or 909, programmed a bassline pattern and recorded live sessions, abusing it’s incredible filters: Acid-House was born. A new genre was born.

Because the Roland Tb 303 got so expensive, you can find diverse clones of that wonderful machine and since 1 year you can even make Acid sounds with your phone – Boys Noize presents a compilation full of new, modern acid, made in all kinds of ways.

Some, well most, of the producers on this compilation have used the classic Roland303, some used a 303 clone, a 303 plug-in and some even rocked the 303 iphone app.

Some of the producers on this compilation spent their time with all kinds of analog gear and mixers to have the original “warm” sound they love and some others just use a fucking laptop. can you hear the difference ? well, i can – but do you really ?

And why release new Acid tracks when you can find the best ones made 10-20 years ago ?

Because this is some fresh Acid you havent heared before, produced by incredible young talents that know everything about the Acid-life, producers that take this genre to another level, into the future.

Love,

Boys Noize'

Don't Say We Didn't Warn You

2011-03-04T04:05:00.000-08:00

Don't Say We Didn't Warn You', is a fresh rebirth of the dance-punk band. Its the follow up to 2008's 'You Have Know Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into', an album that was too diverse to fit into any genre and saw the band confounding expectations at every turn. But DIOYY blew up big, making a huge impact on the gig scene with their incendiary live performances, remixing everyone from Muse to Bloc Party to The White Stripes, and damn near breaking America, going on missions of electro conversion across North America in support of The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails and Linkin Park and their own sold-out headline tour, and according to their twitter.

On one occasion, they had to 'pay for a new crowd barrier from [a] gig cos [the crowd] destroyed it'. Their new album, 'Don't Say We Didn't Warn You' is compiled from the "million" songs that DIOYY self-recorded - over six months in a tiny studio in Reading towards the end of 2009 and in piecemeal bedroom'n'kitchen sessions throughout 2010.

Pattern+Grid World

2011-01-25T13:45:00.000-08:00

Pattern+Grid World is the new EP from warp records' Experimental hip-hop sound demon Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison). In 2010 he released his third studio effort, Cosmogramma, a beautiful gem of electronic wonder and marvel, recieving huge praise and reaching an impressive rank #14 of pitchfork medias greatest of 2010. The EP is to preceed his next release, the Cosmogramma Alt Takes. The incredible illustration for the artwork produced by Theo Ellsworth is also on my favorite pieces of artwork from last year, just look at it.

'Kill Your Co-Workers' by Beeple. Looks fun.

Warp records had this to say about the ep:

While Cosmogramma is a monolithic convergence of 20th and 21st century musical forms, high in concept and wide in musical collaboration, Pattern+Grid World pulls the focus back to Steven Ellison and his machines. These machines are speaking (and possibly looking as well, judging by the EP's cover) from the go, as "Clay" introduces itself in a fog of synth and vocoder and gives way to one of the many surprises here, the schizophrenic ping-ponging electro of "Kill Your Co-Workers". Drenched in alternating melodies, it's a synthetic counterpart to the grand string and harp arrangements of Cosmogramma, making acclaimed illustrator Theo Ellsworth's subtly psychedelic cover image of vision-through-noise all the more intimate.

Illumination

2010-09-11T16:56:00.000-07:00

Illumination is the debut album from australian electro-pop/funk band Miami Horror. Miami Horror can refer to its producer/DJ, Benjamin Plant, or its four-piece live incarnation. Influenced by dance-pop artists of the 1970s and '80s such as Prince and ABBA, Plant first made a name for himself using the moniker 'Miami Horror' with a series of remixes that include Stardust's "Music Sounds Better with You" and Tegan and Sara's "Walking with a Ghost", along with contemporary Australian acts such as the Midnight Juggernauts and Grafton Primary.

Video for 'Sometimes', directed by Rhett Wade-Ferrell

Plant began his music career playing house party and regular weekly Melbourne club nights. He has since remixed Pnau, The Presets, Bloc Party, Datarock and The Dirty Secrets. Miami Horror has also collaborated with Melbourne electro-pop group Gameboy/Gamegirl. As Miami Horror, Plant made his commercial debut in 2008 with a five-track EP, 'Bravado', on Virgin Records. Miami Horror has since been signed to EMI Music for distribution in Australia and France.

Significant for their funky, disco-house throwback style, this sound is unlike anything heard on the waves today!

Stromae

2010-09-11T16:52:00.000-07:00

Stromae is a singer-songwriter of Belgian-Rwandan origin. He has distinguished himself in both hip hop and electronic music. He first became famous with the song "Alors on danse" which remained at number one for several weeks in numerous countries throughout Europe.

The album is full of vibrant coloured punches and rhythmic variant sounds that he confides his distinguished fingerprint in. The record conveys an old school minimal Technotronic sound warped from the 90’s, minced with sharp poetic texts and vintage electric beats. Naturally innovative he delivers most of his lyrics in French over music derived from house and electro. Distinguished by his ability to gather catchy rhythms fused with arranged beats sutured with an effective production. Always in motion he follows his conducting line subliminally registering a specific Stromae sound.

Cheese is the debut album, here's some tasty tracks of the album.

Stromae - Alors on danse

Stromae - Silence

Stromae - House'llelujah

Stromae - Te Quiero

Kryptonite

2010-08-30T12:01:00.000-07:00

DJ Fresh's (real name Dan Stein) new album has dropped!

Video for second single from the album, 'Hypercaine'.

The first single from the album is the last track on the album 'Heavyweight', a very dark drum and bass song, released on 7th september 2009, this track does well to display his early style.
The next single is arguably his most famous track, Hypercaine, released back in october 2009,

Gold Dust was the third single to be released in august 2010, aswell as the Talkbox/Fight! single.
Gold Dust is a big, feelgood tune with bouncy vocals from Ce'Cile loosening the song up, talkbox is the huge screaming intro the album deserves, with the catchy riffs all over, this track will definatly become a favorite. One of the most impressive tracks on the album is the penultimate track, Fight! The song feels like it literally packs a punch and you cant fight it!
If the opening of Kryptonite from 'Talkbox' wasnt big enough, then lassitude will surely knock you off your feet. liquid Drum and Bass, how it should be!

Surfing The Void

2010-08-17T19:06:00.000-07:00

Surfing the Void is the second studio album by British alternative rock band Klaxons. Following the release of the band's Mercury Prize-winning debut Myths of the Near Future in 2007, Klaxons began working on their second effort in 2008, recording tracks with producers Tony Visconti and Focus... during February and March respectively. After sessions ended unsuccessfully, the band returned to working with original producer James Ford, aiming for release in early 2009. In March 2009, it was reported that the band had been told to re-record parts of their second album, with initial efforts rejected by Polydor for being "too experimental for release". The album was eventually recorded between November 2009 and February 2010. The single Echoes was released on 16 August 2010.

In July 2007, bassist and vocalist Jamie Reynolds stated that the band were to begin writing parts of their second album individually, aiming to compile at the conclusion of their then-current touring schedule. Reynolds would go on to described the work as a "prog doom" album. Later in the year, the band confirmed they were heading to France to record with James Ford, aiming to be completed by Christmas for release in early 2009.

Klaxons' hugely expansive new single "Echoes", shot in the Egyptian white desert with long-time creative collaborator/Director, Saam.

In March 2009, it was reported that the band had been told to re-record parts of their second album, after it was rejected by label Polydor. The Sun confirmed that the label deemed it "too experimental" for release, with Reynolds stating that "...we've made a really dense, psychedelic record" and that "it isn't the right thing for us [the band]". In an interview with BBC News, Reynolds revealed that "Moonhead" and new track "Marble Fields and the Hydrolight Head of Delusion" were "probably going to make it", and that they were working with "Simian Mobile Disco production" during April-May 2009. Reynolds added that "Valley of the Calm Trees" had been retitled "The Parhelion", to reflect its lyrical content. James Ford - of Simian Mobile Disco - confirmed working with the band later in the year, stating in an interview with Newsbeat that they were "...trying to keep it melodic and vocal because that's one of their great strong points". Recording was completed to the satisfaction of both band and label in February 2010.

In the process of recording an album, bands tend to record way more songs than they’ll ever need. The process then becomes finding the cream of the crop and taking the refuse and hiding it in the deepest darkest archive imaginable. Then, years after the album becomes a hit, the band may release these outtakes in a reissue, all as a clever marketing ploy. But the Klaxons aren’t most bands, and to prove just that, they’re releasing their outtakes from Surfing the Void in the near future! (this isnt a myth). In an interview with Zane Lowe (via NME), the London rockers, who are just a couple weeks away from the August 24th release of Surfing the Void, revealed that they’ll also soon offer an EP of folky outakes. Co-vocalist and keyboardist James Righton said the tracks are more complicated” then the songs that made the cut and feature more layered vocals.

Surfing The Void is packed with your classic Klaxons traits, echoey vocals, screaming guitars, rattly bass, banging drums and the odd scream. From what we're hearing, they sound more of an arranged instrumental band than 'them guys who made that song that you can play on the dj setting on the keyboards in school' (which was a fucking tune! amirite?)

After releasing an album named for her father (Arular), and an album for her mother (Kala), shes now made MAYA for herself. Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, the explosive rapper/artist of sri-lankan descent, we know as M.I.A has released her third studio ablum MAYA, stylised as /\/\/\Y/\, in July 2010 . Songwriting and production for the album were primarily handled by M.I.A., Blaqstarr and Rusko. M.I.A.'s long-time associates Diplo, Switch and her brother Sugu Arulpragasam also worked on the album, which was mainly composed and recorded at M.I.A.'s house in Los Angeles.

The album's tracks centre on the theme of information politics and are intended to evoke what M.I.A. called a "digital ruckus". Elements of industrial music were incorporated into M.I.A.'s sound for the first time. Several tracks from the album were made available online prior to its release, including "Born Free", which generated controversy due to its graphically violent music video. A deluxe edition was simultaneously released, featuring four bonus tracks. Critics' opinions of the album were divided, with both its musical style and lyrical content attracting both praise and criticism. In its first week of release, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 21 and the UK Independent Albums Chart at number 2, becoming her highest-charting album in the UK. It also became her highest-charting album in the USA, reaching number 9 on the Billboard 200.

Her compositions have been noted to encompass various genres, often with political lyricism and artwork. She has described her music style as being "other". In addition to her work as a graphic designer, providing artwork and photography for releases and as a director of music videos
In 2009, Time magazine placed her in the Time 100 list of "World's Most Influential people" for having "global influence across many genres".
In response to censorship of her work throughout her career, M.I.A. said "The Third World deserves freedom of speech just like everyone else. We want to fight the battle to say what we want, whether to be serious or just make fun of ourselves. That's what 'Worldtown' is about, that's what 'Paper Planes' is about. It's what people in the third world live through."

The Boxer

2010-07-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

Alternative dance rock band Bloc Party's Kele Okereke (Kelechukwu Rowland Okereke, if you want the full name) released his first solo album, titled The Boxer, produced by XXXChange, on 21 June (Wichita / Polydor). In an interview with CHARTattack, Okereke explained the album title, saying "as a boxer, you have to rely on nobody else but yourself to achieve what it is you want to achieve. Even though you take hits, you have to keep focus on your priorities and keep going. I thought that was an inspiring image." The impressive first single from the album, "Tenderoni", was released on 14 June 2010, with 'Everything You Wanted' set to be the new single. He has recently released details on a tour, check his website for more info. http://www.iamkele.com/
The album has so far received generally favourable reviews from critics, with pleasing reviews from the likes of NME giving the album a 7/10, with clashing reviews from Drowned In Sound dropping the album down to a 5/10. As much as half of the album sounds like Bloc Party with electronic music in it, i think its important to look at The Boxer as something totally fresh, which is what it is. A refreshing, thick album.

Swedish House Mafia (House DJ Supergroup Axwell, Steve Angello and Seb Ingrosso), and thier absolute banger 'One'!
Thier history of collaborated work starts in 2007 where they released 'Get Dumb' with Laidback Luke, and again in 2009 with 'Leave The World Behind'. This track gave the group wide acclaim, in clubs all over the world. Steve Angello commented on the track in a radio interview with zane lowe:
'The track came about when we all decided that we should go to L.A to work together, we sort of just went there, and rented one ultra-big studio, and then we had a week together and just said lets do a massive Swedish House Mafia thing. Ofcourse we'd never really done a track under the name of Swedish house mafia, so were like, okay lets do something really really massive and we just vibed from there and it just became this nice little monster'

Cosmogramma

2010-06-10T09:10:00.000-07:00

Flying Lotus, (born Steven Ellison) is an experimental multi-genre (ranging from sounds like breakbeat, soul, hiphop) music producer, and laptop musician from Winnetka, California. His debut album, 1983, was released on Plug Research Records in 2006.[1] He is most famous (yet also uncredited) for much of the bumper music on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block,[2] and he has also contributed remixes for fellow Plug Research artists, including Mia Doi Todd. He is referred to as FlyLo by fans and critics.

Cosmogramma is Flying Lotus' third album, scoring wide positive reviews and a whopping 8.8 from pitchfork media. The album was release May 3 2010 in the UK, and a day later in the US.
Cosmogramma is an intricate, challenging record that fuses Ellison's loves-- jazz, hip-hop, videogame sounds, IDM - into something unique. It feels almost like an avant-garde jazz piece, and so it takes more than a few listens to sink in.

The song that will likely get the most attention here is "...And the World Laughs With You", a collaboration with Thom Yorke. Obviously an electronic-music fan, Yorke has done these guest spots before (for Modeselektor and others) and with such a high-profile contributor it's easy to make the song all about him. But FlyLo doesn't pay Yorke any undue deference, just treats his vocals like another element to manipulate and weave into the mix. It's so subtle, in fact, that if you're not paying close attention you might miss his appearance altogether. It's this level of confidence and commitment to his vision that ultimately makes Cosmogramma so fascinating.

Grum

2010-06-08T09:25:00.000-07:00

Heartbears is Leeds-based house artist Grum a.k.a Scot Graeme Shepherd's debut album, released late may 2010. Grum quoted being inspired by 1980s disco, and the album has been compared to Daft Punk's Discovery and Mylo's Destroy Rock & Roll. and it has been said that it “charms with such ease that it’s hard to accept it’s a debut.”, according to the BBC.

The artwork is a pioneering design, developed by David Ross, the artistic and creative brains behind Mylo’s ‘Destroy Rock N Roll’ poster and artwork campaigns. For Grum he has incorporated a unique 2-D Barcode into the artwork, which when photographed by your mobile phone (using the appropriate application) takes you directly to the music where you can hear great quality streamed versions of the track, with an option to buy there and then. A fully interactive experience for fans to get the music they want, when they want it. See the poster on the street or an advert in a mag, snap the logo, and get direct to the music. There’s already massive interest with mobile phone providers and software programmers to develop this idea, but Grum got there first.

M.I.A

2010-06-05T09:44:00.000-07:00

The 'controversial' (Removed from youtube, widespread banter and fuss and media coverage) video for M.I.A's new single 'Born Free' was shot by french director Romain Gavras (He also shot Justice's 'Stress', another seemingly controversial film, Simian Mobile Disco's 'I Believe', DJ Mehdi's 'Signatune' and The Last Shadow Puppets 'The Age of The Understatement'). The film depicts an armed force wearing flags on their shoulders, running through a building in an urban zone and beating a couple making love, passing by a man smoking, and a red-haired young man being violently forced into a detainee transport vehicle along with other red-haired men that have been rounded up, and has been described widely as a metaphoric political statement. The men are shown being driven out to the desert, treated brutally, and forced to run across a live minefield. During the course of events a young man is shown shot through the head and another is shown blown to pieces after stepping on a live mine. During the video a mural is seen with armed red haired men and the slogan "Our day will come", which is the historic slogan of the Irish Republican Army, Tiocfaidh ár lá. Also depicted are keffiya-wearing red-haired children who throw rocks and glass bottles at the armored vehicles transporting the detainees, an apparent reference to a larger resistance.
The 12 year-old child actor, Ian Hamrick, whose character is shot in the head, described the video as, "highlighting violence in order to end violence."

MTV has described it as "unflinchingly, unapologetically real" depicting "the kind of things that most nations — including the U.S., which is portrayed as the aggressor in the clip — often pretend don't happen: the rounding-up of ethnic minorities, the trampling of personal liberties, the bullying of the powerless by those with authority."
Eric Henderson (An American football player?) in Slant Magazine stated "what stuck with me is the furious dignity it accords the main tracksuit-wearing prisoner, and the amount of anger it allows him to deliver....I recognized within him and the band of rock-throwing dissidents that pelt the armored bus a sense of kinship relevant to anyone who occupies a minority class." While he felt that "the clip is but a metaphor, and not entirely successfully so, when the pitbull-faced, tenement-snatched redhead boy is slammed against an iron fence and still dares to glare into the eyes of his attackers, I want to be right there by his side fucking their shit up."

Well thats the in-depth look at the video! but what about the song?
It was produced by Diplo and Switch and samples "Ghost Rider", a 1977 song by the synthpunk band Suicide. The single artwork depicts a still from a video that allegedly shows the extra-judicial killing of Tamil Tiger fighters in 2009, underlined by an image of YouTube's customized error message. Slant stated that "word is that most of the record won't explore this kind of sound. Even so, it's a hell of a one-off, and it should pique expectations for the new record simply by proving that M.I.A.'s bag of studio tricks is as inexhaustible as her attitude."

Crystal Castles

2010-04-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

Described as 'the kind of music that you just want to follow like a cult, or hate, with every fibre of your being', and listening to which has been described as 'to be cast adrift in a vortex of deafening pain without a safety net. You get the feeling you could do anything in the world, but that 'anything' would ultimately mean nothing'. Crystal Castles.
Their second studio album again entitled 'Crystal Castles', and is set for release on June 7. The album has been produced by Ethan Kath in various places including a church in Iceland, a self built cabin in northern Ontario, a garage behind an abandoned convenience store in Detroit. Inevitably, the eponymous album has been leaked, and as a result it's digital release has been rushed to April 23. The album is sightly more laidback that their first release, one criticism though is the constant repetition of the same drum beat, which gets a little repetitive but all this is masked by the beautiful new sound of the album. They've swapped harsh gritty sounds for soothing synths, bar a few tracks like 'Doe Deer'.

Rumour has it that it started off as a drunken conversation at Corsica’s Calvi Rocks festival in July 2009. After Friendly Fires had finished playing live, and Holy Ghost had just finished DJing, the decision was made by each band to cover one of the other’s songs.
And here are the results! Friendly Fires first completed a cover of Holy Ghost's 'Hold On', and Holy Ghost completed a cover of FF's hit 'On Board'. We're pleased!

Thom Yorke

2010-01-18T11:31:00.001-08:00

The solo album from the one and only thom yorke, frontman of widely acclaimed rock band Radiohead, economy activist and the often seen collaborating under the name of Dr. Tchock with visual artist Stanley Donwood (pen name of Dan Rickwood)
This album was a chance for thom to create a sound that he wanted to put into his own album, with a lot of the sounds and rhythms dating back far in thoms musical career locked away in his head, apart from two songs, the title track and "Black Swan", use samples of recordings made by other members of Radiohead. The album debuted at #3 on the UK Albums Chart and at #2 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, selling over 90,000 copies in its first week. The album was producing by long-time friend and producer Nigel Godrich. Yorke described the album as 'more beats and electronics', and said he didnt 'want to hear the word solo', disproving theories of radiohead 'splitting up', he described producing this album as doing with the fans' 'Blessing'.

A lot of the lyrics are inspired by the issue of climate change. Yorke was a spokesman for Friends of the Earth's "The Big Ask" campaign to reduce carbon emissions, as was recently seen at the Copenhagen 15 Climate Change summit, to which he described his utter disgrace 'nothing [had] been done'. He posted on the Radiohead website about this.

The Artwork was created by Stanley Donwood (He has worked with Yorke only almost all of the radiohead artwork) and it includes iconic London buildings that have been swept away by the Thames, including the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and the Thames Barrier.

Yorke has said this for environmental reasons, The Eraser CD packaging was made of cardboard and it does not contain any plastic.
I strongly advise you buy this album if you like what you hear, as contradictive as this sound, this guy really deserves every penny.

SebastiAn

2010-01-15T11:40:00.001-08:00

SebastiAn's got a new track!
'Threnody', taken from the Ed Banger 2010 Xmas Mixtape is a homage to a musical composition for 52 string instruments, composed in 1960 by Krzysztof Penderecki (b. 1933), which took third prize at the Grzegorz Fitelberg Composers' Competition in Katowice in 1960. The piece swiftly attracted interest around the world and made its young composer famous. However, arguably this track is raising many different opinions and has been a 'controversial' track. In its 13 minutes, 11 of them are essentially build!
We believe the build is like the start to a good book, the ending isnt good without it and we believe this intro just makes sebastians famous dirty gritty drop, just that little more special.
On the other hand, some believe it needs refining, so heres a remix!

Threnody - SebastiAn

Threnody (Capt And Cooked Remix) - SebastiAn

Ed Banger has announced this track will not be on SebastiAn's upcoming 2010 debut album.
