Making covers of well known stuff are almost always a good catch. However getting to do a cover album of the greatest electronic anthems ever straight on is a mammoth task. Simply for the fact that these are really the biggest electronic anthems ever and you don’t have the chance to go wrong. Decide to [...]

Friendly Fires by Run into Flowers
Nottingham’s Friendly Fires is an indie/dance band that has officially managed to get my interest. I’ve always avoided these hipster party stuff since nu-rave = nu-metal for me. Alas Friendly Fires seems to have find the perfect formula for the genre with two golden tracks not unlike Bloc Party’s first [...]

Fehlmann and Jerry Abstract
Berliner electronic music veteran Thomas Fehlmann of Oceanclub and part time The Orb fame, has released his second album on Kompakt after 2002’s Visions of Blah.
I have to admit that I’m not really a fan of Kompakt and related labels musical route since 2002-2003. The surge of German teenager dance [...]

There’s a rising trend in dance music for the last few years, and it’s now safe to say disco is back, at least in europe, and mostly thanks to re-edits. Of course the nu-disco scene in USA has been flowering for years, with the likes of Metro Area, Daniel Wang & Kelley Polar but re-edits [...]

I’ve known GreensKeepers for a long time, mainly with their house music efforts, so before I get to check their latest Polo Club release thanks to the Dinamo.FM guys, I thought this was yet another dance album as I was accostumed to. In a strange tale of serendipity, the first song I played was “Bloodclots” [...]

Forro in the SXSW
Hey kids, normally I hate to go out to events I learn at the same day, I don’t know why but I feel like I should prepare myself to it. (the downside of it is if I learn about a concert too early then it has a handicap of becoming a burden [...]

We’re definitely into this senseless electro-pop god-knows-whatever hybrid from Brasil’s Bonde Do Rolê. Their “Solta o Frango EP” on Open Field has carved its name in my head instantly with the first track. (well at least I can still remember it starts with B, and I wonder how the ê is pronounced.) This should [...]

Make space for Mr. Vonstroke’s debut CD “Beware of the Bird” on his own Dirtybird Records. I generally expect 2-3 good electronic dance albums per month these days and I was expecting a standard CD with 1-2 good tracks and lots of fillers, but oh how mistaken I was. I am sincerely in love with [...]
