Nosaj Thing's music may be well accustomed to the basements and clubs of the beard-stroking masses, but none of his music has ever truly crossed over to a more traditional dance set, vocals and all - until now.»
Oneohtrix Point Never has gone further than most, especially with Replica, in proving that our heritage doesn’t always need to be ‘rehashed’ to be replicated with real style. »
A debut as riveting and obvious as it is shrouded in unanswerable questions.»
Washed Out always stood above his supposed peers.»
Cloud Nothings may not be a timeless classic, but for all Baldi’s youthful exuberance, he's proven himself an honest and remarkably mature set of hands. »
When packaged up with the original entity, it more than anything affirms the vitality of the original tracks.»
It seems a rare occurrence for Tom Jenkinson – aka Squarepusher – to come out of his self-proclaimed hermetic state for interviews. After all, save for the occasional takeover day and TV spot, he’s been a notorious busy-body for the span of his 17 year ca»
What Shobaleader One does is strike a finer balance between the accessible and the surreal than pretty much all of Jenkinson’s previous releases. »
While Magnetic Man should work as A Dummy’s Guide to Accessible Dubstep – the overall intention for this whole project, it seems – the balance isn’t quite there. »
Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman don’t seem to be playing by exactly the same rules as their Brooklyn peers.»
You could hear many things come the end of the year about how 2010 has become a kind of electronic revivalist year. Well, at least more so than many others in the past decade. Some of electronica’s biggest names have emerged this year with seminal works, »
Modernist take on a classical French art form, ironically performed by an collective of Danish film score composers.»
The world of electronic music is so littered with sub-genres now that it is far too difficult for many to keep track. More than anything, the awareness that terms for certain minutiae of change in a sonic spectrum is journalistic. But sometimes such defining words can feel appropriate – encapsulation will be impossible forever,»
It seems that Luke Abbott may just have taken his own spectrum of rural influence and created a game–changing electronic opus.»
There was a contest I had with myself whilst working my old job in a off license in the middle of nowhere. In the interludes betwe»
Tonight is my first visit to the regal (or should I say legal?) surroundings of Somerset House. Its normally majestically white walls have been bathed in a myriad of colours for this, another part of the Somerset House series. It’s maybe this enclosed cou»
The real question is, why can’t all pop be like this now? »
'Twas the end of the Sonar line for DiS reviewers Alex Baker and William Grant - let's see how they got on in the final episode. »
The continued adventures of Alex Baker and William Grant at Sonar 2010.»
Who rock the party like Alex Baker and William Grant rock the party? NOBODY. This is why we sent them to this year’s Sonar festival, the better to write important words about it.»
It’s the emphasis on the simplicity of songcraft on offer here that will allow Cox to garner success. How he can beckon light from even the darkest situation. In that sense, he has created a very well crafted and sobering first album. »
There’s a fearless level of experimentation on offer here, even if it may seem straightforward to the uninitiated listener. But what is really unfortunate is that that same experimentation ends up being detrimental to some tracks. »
O’Brien’s howls and cries throughout are an exorcism of growing pains, and to that end universally resonant and resolutely empathetic.»
These Monsters; purveyors of stoner-led-instrumental-jazz-rock-ness.»
To try and encapsulate the world of Flying Lotus is a nigh on impossible task...»
We Were Exploding Anyway has rekindled the old flame.»
It’s a real shame that the band’s originality seems to have almost become a burden to them. The adventurous nature of Coheed and Cambria was what made them so thrilling. And while this new tangent of popular method could win them a fair few new fans, it may leave some of the loyal wanting more from their next opus.»
It’s when Deadmau5 dips into the ironic side of what he does that it becomes clearer why his popularity has sky-rocketed, but his credibility has waned. »
There is no inclination to pander to any preconceptions of yore and this has now, undoubtedly, made Errors the force they always threatened to be. »
Obviously this collision between saloon-style spaghetti rock and jugular-aimed metal heaviness could leave you a little baffled. Stylistically divided, the whole feels somewhat incoherent. But the good outweighs the bad, equaling a solid album. »
