Janine Rostron aka Berlin’s Planningtorock is a wacko. Obsessed with reflections in her videos, she’s being dubbed the artsy Janis Joplin, but she sounds more like the little child of Matthew Herbert and Kevy B. She’s one hell of a creative lady with a new album on Chicks on Speed Records under her belt and [...]

Luomo’s long awaited third album is finally upon us on his own label Huume. His “Vocalcity” album and the unforgettable hit “Tessio” had established his status as an innovator in the house field, while he has also worked under countless aliases like Sistol, Uusitalo, Vladislav Delay and one half of AGF/Delay producing dub oriented electronica [...]

I don’t know if you guys have listened to 2002’s Fuck Back EP or 2003’s Can’t Cool LP, but Bernd Friedmann’s “Burnt Friedman and the Nu Dub Allstars” project used to shine for me. Yeah, Flanger was cool and so is his other Nonplace stuff, but his musicianship and soul was displayed best on this [...]

A small label, not even a proper label I suppose much more a project, it’s highly avantgarde and experimental but accessible. Bettamga has [...]

Here’s a lame haiku:
Another myspace feat
Everybody is making music now
Let’s listen to some

Stonefridge or Fridgehenge? you decide.
Micusnule. 4 piece band from France led by Mr. Christophe Micusnule himself who plays ukulele and guitars. This is hyperactive electronic pop music with orchestral elements in songs. Silly melodies abound, kinda like the early DAT Politics albums [...]

I’m sorry Mr. Asuna, because I haven’t heard of you before this album. Can I blame the music industry for this?
Basically your music has been running in my head since I was a 5 year old kid enjoying the sun and being naughty. The music industry has indirectly denied access to your music by [...]
