I have slowly become a fan of Hot Chip. I am starting to understand their vibe and aesthetic and they are definitely doing a good job paying homage to all the 80s British New Wave acts. My fav tune of their’s is “The Warning”, I just love the glockenspiel, the programmed beats as well as the lyrical themes.
This new tune “One Life Stand” is a dark new wave track that reminds me of OMD/Human League- looking forward to their new album coming out February Twenty-Ten.
After the jump check out BBC’s Synth Britannia Documentary. A film that dives into the history and legacy of the synthesizer and how it transformed pop music forever.
I am a huge fan of La Blogoteque: Take-Away Shows such a genius way of showcasing and shedding a new light on an artist’s music. What better way to showcase Phoenix than under the Eiffel Tower in front of tourists. They are France’s musical and cultural ambassadors to the world these days. Check out “1901” and “Long Distance Call” here.
Thank you GLOVES for picking up where Mr. Fred Falke stopped. This remix of Miami Horror’s “Sometimes” reminds me of those amazing basslines and slick/smooth sounds that Mr. Falke was pumping out a year ago. Shimmering Yacht Rock synths a la Toto, staccato funk picked guitar parts, and a gorgeous filtered bass is all you need in life sometimes….

So a fellow blog br0, Electrodrone IM’s me and asks me if I listen to Tycho, I say no so he sends me to his myspace. I am like “Oh, wow – dope artwork, it looks like that designer/blogger ISO50 does his artwork”. And then Electrodrone br0 is like “Yo that is ISO50“. And I’m like “Whoa. Sick, dude.”
Anyway a fantastic blogger who also makes good music? No way! Tycho is signed to Ghostly International and crafts introspective, chill tunes in the vain of Boards of Canada meets The Album Leaf and Bibio with some fantastic guitar parts and subtle electronic beats/noises. All you Chillwaver fans shall enjoy.
Phoenix stopped by NPR’s World Cafe to play an acoustic 4 song set for the 100th time this year as well as a chat about each tune and their lives up to date. This maybe the same old same old in the blogosphere but it is oh so good.
I can’t stop listening to Villa’s remix of Music Go Music. Check out this amazing 30 min mix they crafted for Studio Brussels. It is a wonderful peek into their musical minds, a lot of random/great tracks and edits by them.
The legendary Todd Edwards crafted this mix of his own productions and remixes. Amazing stuff. Follow Todd on twitter @toddedwards3000 He is gonna be spinning at Flashing Lights @ 88 Palace on 12.4.2009 – be there to witness the godfather.
Strip Steve’s Delta Disco EP is amazing, it sounds like it should have came out on Roule. Crystal made this vid for “Breakin” – Pick up this EP if you do not have it yet!
What a weird dance pop tune. Reminds me of Mr. Oizo, especially those drums. I love Primary 1’s voice. His track with The Shoes is fantastic especially the Siriusmo remix. This obscure comedic funk is what dance music needs.
