Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
There’s a good chance you will have heard something from this already but if not Hello Everything Tom Jenkinson’s 10th album as Squarepusher and largely, like all the others, it’s bloody good. Featuring more of those jazzy bass solos he does so well, a few 303 led drum’n’bass freakouts and a few ambient niceties. There’s [...]
Continuing the diversification of Warp’s roster, Grizzly Bear are an unusual addition to the the label. Granted the signing of Maximo Park and Battles paved the way for other genres of music, but Grizzly Bear are the closest to the sound of John Fahey playing Animal Collective songs than any of Warp’s current signings. What [...]
Cheers to Mike for the last post! To continue with the Warp theme today, There’s a fantastic live session from Battles up on the excellent Samurai FM site. There’s SHITLOADS of other electronic, techno, Hip Hop, band sessions, DJ sets and house (I HATE House) streams available. Be sure to check out the Specials section [...]
Sometime contributer Mike here. Hailing from a Leeds scene that included Nightmares on Wax and Ital rockers, LFO originally were a two-man techno/electro outfit comprising of Mark Bell and Gez Varley. Both liked alternative music from an early age, and they formed LFO after meeting at college. Bizarrely, it was money inherited from Varley’s grandmother [...]

Signed to Rumracket, a small label from Copenhagen which also released Grizzly Bear’s first album, Cacoy are a delightful mix of electronica and rock instrumentation that sound a bit like Stereolab or Lali Puna fronted by the squeaky singer from Deerhoof. Their press release says:
On invitation from DJ KLOCK the two unconventional pop wonders Saya [...]

Sometime Broken Social Scene member and Metric frontwoman, Emily Haines is releasing her first solo record soon as the name Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. Entitled Knives don’t have your back, there’s a stark contrast here to the energetic songs on Live it Out .
It sounds like it was recorded late at night [...]
The Spiegeltent is a great venue for the kind of collaboration offered by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) and Steve Reid. Reid plays spectacular Jazz drumming the likes of which I’d never seen live before. As soon as he took to the stage, he appeared to enter a delirious trance, eyes closed, knowing the position of [...]
I realized that Fujiya and Miyagi were from not Japan when I heard the lyrics to the first song - “Like pixelated scraps of jazz mags in your head lights“. It turns out they are from Brighton. It doesn’t matter.Their music is a delightful mix of bass and synth lead pop songs with some soft [...]
