I was hoping I’d like the new Crystal Castles album more than I do, but while there are a few good tracks, I get tired of the shitty kindergarten bleeps and bloops after awhile. Anyway, one of the good tracks is “Not In Love,” a cover of an old Platinum Blonde song of the same [...]
A couple of excellent remixes of José James‘ “Warrior” (itself a cover of Benga‘s “Emotions”) by Subtrkt, Jus Wan and Rockwell that bring the track back to its bass music origins… out on April 12th on Brownswood Recordings: See my review of Jose James’ Blackmagic for JunoPlus here. P.S. I also recently wrote this review [...]
Stones Throw recently pressed a few hundred copies of this 45 for this year’s SXSW music festival, with Mayer Hawthorne and James Pants covering each other’s songs. I want! Alas, the tracks are now only available for purchase digitally. Mayer Hawthorne’s rendition of JP’s “Thin Moon”: The OG: On the flip side, James Pants’ rendition of [...]

Sure, Kieran Hebden has been busy releasing remixes, mixes, EPs and working on collaborations, but there’s been no full-length Four Tet album since 2005′s Everything Ecstatic (which I didn’t like that much and barely listened to, despite owning it). The first proper album release in five years is absolutely stunning and excites me the way [...]
What can I say that has not been said already? 2009 was a great year for music! I kept discovering new tracks, new artists, and most importantly, new sounds to my ears that made me excited about music again and again and again. I’m pretty bad at coming up with yearly “best of” lists since [...]
It was definitely one of the most colourful years in a long time. In music however, 2009 was truly incredible, dominated by solid edits, new directions in dubstep, infectious indie melodies, tech-ier house, or slowing down the beat. I didn’t mind pulling all-nighters, thanks to some pretty dope podcasts from both East Village Radio (Authentic [...]
