These great instrumental tracks put me in a celebration mood...which is totally the mood I'm in this week with the BEATBOX night starting again @ BELMONT on Friday, so here you go!!! :-P
Pump up the volume!!!
SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT. Chicken soup for the fuck you
KELE, the lead singer of famous indie-pop BLOC PARTY, is now all muscled-up and coming out with his solo album on June 21st! Two songs have been leaked online already and it sounds like the man is taking a more electro approach...great work so far!!!
Montreal: catch KELE LIVE at OSHEAGA this summer on July 31st. Same day as METRIC and ARCADE FIRE! OH YEAH!!!! I'm there for sure.
This new little hipster trio from London will be launching their first album on June 30th. Fans of MGMT's classic electro-pop ( "Kids", "Time to pretend" ) will probably love this first single which was released last September. I know I do!
A second track called "These new knights" just came out in April...unfortunately it doesn't come close to the hook, freshness and energy of "Dance the way I feel".
.....One hit wonders?
We will find out soon enough when their first album comes out next month!
I use to get a huge kick out of Ascii disko's German-influenced techno rock! And of course, that's why he was selected by us to be one of the great remixers featured on our album "Remix sessions".
Yet, the past 2 years he's been taken a more "minimalistic, softer and repetitive" approach, which got a lot of the fans I know pretty disappointed. On the new album, he's back to something harder and driven....yet, still more repetitive than his early work. I'd say, it's ok. But will not be featured in my DJ sets. The whole album is instrumental except for the last track ( mellow and moody )...not bad, but nothing great in comparison to his earlier work.
This first video release is pretty moody and nice though! Very Ascii disko.
