A few months ago The Rapture released How Deep Is Your Love. On Tuesday this week, DFA got in touch with the release of the vinyl version of the remixes that includes A-Trak‘s Dub For Mehdi version, a homage to his good friend Dj Mehdi who passed away a few months ago and a remix...
My favorite band Los, who became That Mouth, have split up in September and I didn’t even know about it until recently, when I saw this feed on my facebook for this new band called Death Rattle. I’ve had the great privelage of organizing a gig with them on the bill last year and am...

Dec 11, 2011 • Hey I’m Viers , I will be trying to do regular features. Now, I’ve know of Crimson for a long while now, always kept my left eye open on him. He has been crossing the boundaries somewhere between where dubstep left off, old 90’s 2-step and some deep dungeon sounds and massive reverbed percussion hits. Here...
If you caught a whiff of the Strokes with this and felt like it’s an American version of the Libertines, then you’re not alone. I kinda like the shambolicness of it all and the story about this band is actually more than meets the eye (and quite impressive.) Chocolate Robots is Mike, Marco and Mutt...
UKG producer Jordon Saxton aka Viers, previously featured on this blog awhile back, has a new track out and it’s fucking mint. Funky 2 step-y vibes with an uplifting feel, wonky basslines makin a comeback: [Viers - Can't U See] It seems like he’s been on a roll recently, with a coupla fresh new tracks...
Not really an acid kinda person, but this new Craig Williams track has sealed itself to be this Friday night’s 2am dancefloor contender. Pounding 4/4 beats meets meaty basslines. I’m liking the crazy big room reverb and unstoppable build ups: [Craig Williams - Lemur] In an almost similar vein, check out this old remix he’s...
A pre x-mas gift from Christian Strobe, quite a good one for a Sunday night. He’s turned this indie / disco dance track from Holy Ghost! into a poppier uplifting “cosmic house” number – big beats and warm synths that take you round the universe and back. The video for the original track is really awesome....
First on the list and my personal favorite by a long way is Fiordmoss. They are a 3-piece outfit consisting of a singer, acoustic guitar, and a synth/sample/keyboard player. The result is something that is akin to Portishead and Bjork, in equal parts but a lot better and different.
Holy is a FUCKING AWESOME shouty screamy hardcore punk from Milano, Italy. Lashings, of tough old-school styles meets Level Plane records screamo vocals. Short, fast, loud – 8 furious songs recorded pretty much over the course of a few days in a hot rehearsal studio in Italy. Their self titled ep is coming out January...
Housse de Racket‘s new album, Alesia is out now in the states and you’ve probably already seen the video for the track Roman on the NME. New single Chateau just been given the video treatment by none other than Sanghon Kim, the fine art graphic designer who did the album’s cover. Watch it – it’ll...
We kick things off this month with SoHight’s new ep released by my family in France, Yeah Dish recs. Gotta love this label for coming up with the goods time and time again Any surprises why this one made the cut on this blog? SoHight are two Russian blokes doing that synth pop thing, kinda...
