Dance music and Berlin nightlife are essentially synonymous in 2013. Home to some of the most important labels, producers and spaces in dance and electronic, Berlin is a clubber’s mecca. The “Berlin sound“, essentially minimal techno/”micro-house” music championed and produced by, amongst others, techno legend Richie Hawtin, began to trickle into mainstream night clubs in the US around around 2003, as progressive house and techno fused into something dark, repetitive and hypnotic.

Twin Peaks is living the dream. After a semester of going to college, they decided the rock n’ roll life was more their style. After a hype-garnering run at South by Southwest and a recent signing to Autumn Tone Records, the band will be reissuing their dreamy record, Sunken, on July 9. Twin Peaks sounds [...]

‘It’s like if four 19-year-old Japanese kids who really like 1980s/1990s American rock n’ roll formed a band.’ This is how a friend of mine described the band Hausu to me. Despite hailing from Portland, Oregon, there is a definite Eastern presence in the quartet’s music. Combine that with sad tales about missing home and [...]

North Arm Cove in New South Wales’ Port Stephens region was to be the capital of Australia at one point. It was also the place where Firekites frontman Roderick Smith’s family came to build a holiday house in 1981 – the epicenter of his childhood dreaming. He spent long summers there roaming through the bush, [...]

The Great Gatsby movie is THE movie of the year. I’ve felt tiny tears in my ears every time I watch a new a trailer for it. And the soundtrack: it’s amazing. It’s perfect. And completely star-studded. Sia, Florence, Lana, The xx, Jay-Z, Jack White, and more. It’s not out until May 7, so in the meantime, listen to this soundtrack sampler. It’s brilliant.

When Garbage and Screaming Females team up, they can rip guitar solos and belt out choruses right on par with Patti Smith. This black and white music video is primo. What begins as a shaky, DIY, handheld camera home video picks up as these girls begin to sing and play Because the Night. Like what [...]

I have liked Girls Names for some time now. They were great at the recent London show and the venue was pretty packed. The have a black and white sound with hints of colour, a metronomic beat with a touch of Hank Marvin that should leave you starvin’ for more. If you’re a fan of [...]

The video for Entertainment, the first single from Phoenix’s album Bankrupt!, is a dozen Asian soap operas mashed together to create the most epic visual experience possible. I love all the colours and confusing drama. Even though the song lyrics are in English, Phoenix masterfully creates the feeling of confusion typically experienced while watching a foreign film.

This is four minutes in the mind of a mad genius. Between the abstract color display, the hidden, changing track titles at the bottom, and the constantly changing melodies, this album preview of the Flaming Lips’s latest release, Terror, is all the glory of the full length set packed into only 4 minutes. When I watch this [...]

Wendel Patrick is making a name for himself as a producer, fusing different elements of jazz, electronica and Hip Hop to create lush musical collages. In this video, he reworks DJ Premiere’s instrumental track from Nas’ classic Illmatic in his studio without the use of samples. Most brilliant.

We recorded our debut album in Mark’s parents’ garage at home in Ballarat. After initially recording the bulk of the album in expensive studios in LA and Sydney, with producers like Mickey Petralia (Ladytron, The Dandy Warhols) and Scott Horscroft (The Preserts, Silverchair, The Sleepy Jackson), we realised that what we were doing wasn’t us.

I came across this Ontario band thanks to NPR’s awesome Tiny Desk concerts. Built around singer and songwriter Tony Dekker, this is music that really touches the soul. This video is a three-song set which includes Everything is Moving So Fast, Pulling on a Line and Various Stages. His voice and music makes me wonder [...]

Andrew Wyatt (from Miike Snow) enlisted the entire Prague Philharmonic Orchestra for his new album. It’s amazing. It feels vintage and cinematic, yet new and fresh all at once. The album, Descender, won’t be released until April 30 in the States, but in the meantime, you can stream the full saga in all its glory here.
