Franz Ferdinand "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand"

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand is music of the night: to fling yourself around your room to as you psyche yourself for a night of hedonism, for the dance-floor, flirtation, for your desolate heart-stop, for losing it and loving losing it, for the chemical surge in your bloodstream. It’s for that lonely hour gently rocking yourself waiting for dawn and it all to be even again.” - Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand.

Flaming Lips "Christmas On Mars"


In production since 2001, The Flaming Lips' eagerly anticipated "Christmas On Mars" - A Fantastical Film Freakout featuring The Flaming Lips will be released on CD/DVD format on November 11th on Warner Bros Records / Cinema Purgatorio.
Directed by front man Wayne Coyne alongside co-director George Salisbury (the band's audiovisual technician), many of the film's Mars sets were constructed in Coyne's back garden at his home in Oklahoma City. The film does indeed take place during Christmas time on Mars, as the colonisation of the Red Planet is underway. But when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (The Lips' Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips' bassist Michael Ivins) fear for the worst. Syrtis hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts. Also appearing in the film are the band's road drummer Kliph Scurlock, manager Scott Booker, and many other familiar figures from The Lips' community.

85 mins in black and white with some sequences in color.

Prime Suspect "Bang!"

American artist Ariel and German electronic music producer Jan Muller have joined forces to produce the criminal sounds of Prime Suspect. With a blend art pop disco, industrial techno, new wave, electro, go go punk and live vocals this duo creates a distinctive, futuristic hybrid of dance. The compelling mix of electronic punk features both Jan and Ariel's emotive vocals, adding a taste of yesterdays anarchist sarcastic flavor but never interferes with the music. Jan as progammer and composer uses as many analogue sounds as possible, bringing musicians into the studio and creating a virtual band. Featured on various tracks on "Bang!" is the guitar mastership of the legendary east bay Ray of The Dead Kennedys. Supporting members are Johann Bley on drums (ex member of KMFDM and Juno Reactor) and Jasper Scholtz (bass guitar and vocals).

"Bang!" is out today, released by Nachtstrom Schallplatten.

Jazzanova presents "Secret Love 5"

"With the release of the Secret Love compilation series Sonar Kollektiv have succeeded in encapsulating this spirit shared among friends and fans of the label and in delivering a very personal vision of what soul-folk music is. And given the success of the previous volumes of Secret Love with more than 30.000 copies sold, JAZZANOVA faced something of a challenge in putting together this 5th issue in the series. Of course, expectations are high following the acclaim received by the previous four Secret Love compilations. But JAZZANOVA have hit the nail on the head yet again this time with another delightfully diverse compilation rich in some of the best new soul-folk around."

Agoria "Go Fast"

An album. To 'Go Fast', because that's its title. With a composer who also goes very fast, often.
A composer who is also a DJ. A DJ who goes around the world to make it dance by mixing his three turntables, fast. Often.
The speed that scratches at the faces so harsh that it disfigures them also possesses a few virtues. Amongst which that of putting every creator in a state of ultimate trance to bring a project to the top. Often.

The most difficult being to do something well and fast. Going fast to attain one's mission can become perilous. Go Fast is hence the title of Olivier Van Hoofstadt's movie. The flick that should give the French thriller genre a brand new energy and a top speed almost capable of breaking the wall of sound.

The sound here is Agoria's, the luminous prodigy of the French electronic scene is capable of teletransporting dozens of thousands of clubbers in a state of ultimate joy that gives them feet of wind.
This same DJ composed and produced the two albums that are necessary and indispensable for any proper immersion in the complex heart of electronic music. 'Blossom' in 2003 (with the classics La 11ème Marche, Spinach Girl) and 'Green Armchair' (including Code 1026, Europa and Les Violons Ivres) in 2006 have hardened the Lyon born musician who found himself glorified with the greatest awards: Best DJ with Laurent Garnier in 2004, Best Album for France Inter in 2006, most startling ambassador DJ for the Lyon Nuits Sonores, an award that he reaped once again this year at the term of a 7-hour battle with big brother Laurent Garnier.
All 15000 dancers who attended came out worn out and shattered by the intimate, abrasive dialogue between the two giants of the electronic planet who invented the language of turntables.

All this does tend to give a taste for speed. Agoria does remain a discreet person. Indeed, when we first met him on the occasion of the Nuits Sonores, he failed to tell us that he was working on a project for an original score for a film co-produced by Luc Besson.

This action movie focuses on these famous 'Go Fasters', the automobile pilots with a fury for ultra-powerful, armed convoys who transport over a ton of hashish at 200 km/hour or more on the European motorways, with an aim of outsmarting the police forces. It just so happens that producers Emmanuel Prévost and Stéphane Lecomte listened to Agoria's album 'The Green Armchair' completely by chance. They were soon to fall head over heels in love with the album, and decided to synchronise two scenes of the film with tracks 'Code 1026' and 'Europa'. Agoria asks to see the scenes. Soon, he enjoys it so much that he is asked to compose the entire score for the film. Apparently, imagining music over images is a job in itself.

Agoria soon realises this when someone tells him. But it does not deter him as he tools to compose another album, which could naturally become his third, simply inspired from the images and the scenario of 'Go Fast'.

They are known as jet lag. The condition is generally believed to be the result of disruption of the "light/dark" cycle that entrains the body's circadian rhythm. Even when we live in a 24 hours per day – circle; the natural rhythm of our interior clock is programmed to 25 hours per day mainly.”

Joakim "My Best Remixes"

After 3 albums ("Tiger Sushi", "Ghosts" and "Monsters And Silly Songs") Joakim will release his best works as a remixer.
He's one of the best producer on the scene and when he puts himself in the shoes of "Joakim 'The Remixer'" he gives a new energy and he reveals the real potential of each original track.

Even if I'm really excited about this collection, I'm a little bit surprised for the absence of his "Hypercommunication" (Poni Hoax) and "Hustler" (Simian Mobile Disco) remixes.
I think it would be a very complete "Best Remixes" collections.

Anyway, another release on 27th October 2008.

Ok, è iniziato ieri con Frankie Hi-NRG in veste da dj, lo stesso per DJ Lord (Public Enemy), Meg, Ninja dei SubsOnicA e Useless Wooden Toys.
Il meglio, per me, però parte da questa sera con il live di Vitalic e Motor sul Bigfrog Stage, Gino (mente del Sonica Festival) insieme a Marco Bogani e System 7 (ex Egg) sull'Outfrog Stage.
Sabato si chiude in bellezza, sperando di riuscire a sdoppiarmi. Sul Bigfrog Stage si alterneranno Feadz, The Bloody Beetroots, Victeam, Sangue Disken e Fucked From Above 1985 mentre sull'Outfrog ecco Carl Craig, i Goose, Sasse nelle vesti di Freestyle Man e Lele Sacchi.
Sull'Infrog roba da palati sopraffini: hosted by Warp, arriverà il duo Vono Box insieme al DJ's team della Warp.

Non dimentico il Swimming Stage con l'open bar, è un segreto. Oops!

From 6 p.m. to 4 p.m.
€ 10//night

From Myspace: LX-iR


LX-iR is a 19 years old French guy who produces a very nice electro tracks.
Across 3 decades, from mid 70's to the present, he makes together his influences (to the golden age of disco era and pop stars such as Michael Jackson from the French touch) in a single way.

When the Bee Gees plays Daft Punk.
When Hercules and Love Affairs are the new pop stars, keep an eye on LX-iR.

DFA Presents Supersoul: Nobody Knows Anything

L'impero si estende. Questa doppia compilation non mixata, selezionata da quelle geniali menti della DFA, raccoglie tracce rilasciate dalla berlinese Supersoul Recordings.
L'etichetta ha una forte personalità tedesca (leggi: techno) che si manifesta in chiave sonora attraverso le battute in 4/4 dal sapore minimale, le sonorità sintetiche 80's che si rincorrono tra strutture glitch, sequenze asimmetriche e riff electro-pop.

Una compilation da acquistare per conoscere un'altra etichetta che ha fatto dell'informalità sonora la propria carta vincente.

September is... Belgian.

Every 6 weeks I have 4 days (3 nights) to spend away from Milan and, when I can travel, I do it!
So, now, I'm planning my new weekend! Hurrà for me!

From 20th to 23rd September I'll be in Belgium. Atm I'm so confused about where I'll sleep.
Bruxelles?
Bruges?
Gent?

I know there is someone who come from these 3 cities and is reading now, so let me hear your suggestions about where I can sleep, where I can find some music shops or/and where I can buy some quite unique clothing (t-shirts, especially) or/and where I can eat something special.

Thanks in advance.

Klaxons: un nuovo album melodico?

Pare stia prendendo una direzione più melodica rispetto al debutto "Myths Of The Near Future", vincitore del premio Mercury battendo mostri come Dizzee Rascal ed Amy Winehouse.
Attualmente la band è impegnata con le sessions di registrazione in Francia, dopo essersi fermati a Giugno in Italia, a Milano.

In un'intervista per la BBC, il produttore James Ford - metà dei Simian Mobile Disco - ha dichiarato che il gruppo sta provando a fare dei passi in avanti invece che rimanere sulle stesse sonorità che ha portato l'enorme successo del debutto, puntando sulla melodia e sulla voce.

La stessa cosa che ha fatto con Alex Turner degli Arctic Monkeys per il progetto The Last Shadow Puppets.

In chiusura c'è stata anche una sorpresa: James Ford ha speso qualche parola anche sui Simian Mobile Disco. In cantiere c'è un album, previsto entro la fine dell'anno, a cui hanno partecipato molti special guests. Un paio di brani sono già pronti, uno con Gruff Rhys dei Super Furry Animals ed un altro con Beth Ditto dei Gossip.

That's it.

Justice "A Cross The Universe"




Tutto confermato, il DVD si farà!

Attualmente i Justice, insieme a So-Me, stanno lavorando al booklet che verrà inserito in "A Cross The Universe", che pare sarà composto da dvd+cd in cui saranno contenuti documentario+live set.
Alla lavorazione verranno coinvolti anche i fan, e non, del duo che possono inviare qualsiasi immagine libera da copyright che sia legata a loro.

Il tutto deve essere inviato a justicematerial@edbangerrecords.com.

Attendiamo aggiornamenti.

The Shapeshifters "In The House"

Et voilà, nuovo capitolo della serie "In The House", questa volta curata dai Shapeshifters.
Tre volte 'hurrà!' per loro che hanno plasmato questa tripla compilation in modo eccellente, per non essere il solito prodotto cool dell'ultimo momento, perfettamente allineato con il trend attuale, ma un riflesso della loro personalità artistica guardando al presente ma anche al passato.

Info and audio samples: here.

Amy Winehouse ed il Mago di Oz

Si dice che Amy Winehouse, tra la prenotazione del suo soggiorno alla Focus 12 Clinic per iniziare il suo rehab ed una visita al marito in prigione, abbia registrato una nuova canzone utilizzando un sample tratto dal musical "The Wizard of Oz".







La fonte, anonima, afferma anche che la colonna sonora del musical sarà un tema ricorrente in tutto il nuovo album, che sembra abbia iniziato a prendere forma, in quanto uno dei suoi film preferiti nonché ossessione in questo periodo.
Che abbia in cantiere anche una cover di "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"?

Cocoon Morphs Tokyo

Riunito nel supporto cd il riassunto del Cocoon sound che ha conquistato il Womb ed il Phazon, due club di Tokyo tra i più importanti - e belli - nel mondo.
Da questi eventi è nata la compilation "Cocoon Morphs Tokyo", animata da artisti tra cui Ricardo Villalobos, Guy Gerber, Pig & Dan, Tiefschwarz e lo stesso Sven Väth vs Anthony Rother.

La copertina, come tutta la parte visiva degli eventi, è stata curata da Andreas Gursky che ha saputo catturare l'entusiasmo - e la grande concentrazione - dei clubbers accorsi per non perdere lo spettacolo.

In uscita il 25 Agosto, ovviamente su Cocoon Records.

Bloc Party "Intimacy"

Togliamo di mezzo "Mercury", che se non fosse per il remix dei CSS probabilmente non ascolterei mai, il terzo album dei Bloc Party - disponibile da domani la versione digitale mentre per il cd bisognerà attendere sino al 27 Ottobre - sembra quasi un ritorno alle sonorità punk-funk delle origini (ascoltate "Trojan Horse" per credere) pur non lasciando completamente la strada intrapresa con "A Weekend In The City" e probabilmente risolleverà le sorti della band, visto i segnali negativi mandati dai fans negli ultimi tempi.

Alla produzione Paul Epworth e Jacknife Lee, già produttori rispettivamente del primo e del secondo album, che quasi sicuramente visto il successo ottenuto da entrambi i capitoli precedenti hanno deciso di scriverne un nuovo dal carattere più ibrido e meno preponderante verso l'uno o l'altro.
Quel che è certo è che da domani tutto sarà più chiaro.

The Killers: in studio per il nuovo album

Niente riposo per i Killers. Dopo 4 anni di tour e due album, il tempo libero degli ultimi mesi è stato usato per scrivere circa 30 nuovi pezzi ed entrare in studio per iniziare la registrazione del terzo album.
Il bassista Mark Stoermer ha rivelato che sarà il loro album più pop ma anche più sperimentale. Per scoprirlo non resta che aspettare Novembre, mese in cui ne è prevista l'uscita.

Per il momento sono state rivelate - e suonate a sorpresa all'Highline Ballroom di New York - due tracce: "Spaceman" e "Neon Tiger". Se questo è un assaggio di ciò che dobbiamo aspettarci da questo nuovo lavoro, l'attesa inizia a fremere.

DJ Hell: new album + new single

E' uscito dal silenzio durante la chiusura del Sonar ed ha già fatto scalpore, suscitando grande entusiasmo negli addetti ai lavori, come Laurent Garnier, Joakim, Tiefschwarz, Savas Pascalidis, Chloé, Ascii Disko, Delon & Dalcan e Pascal Feos.
Prodotto da Hell, &Me e Mijk Van Dijk, "The Disaster" è una bomba techno dai picchi acid, subendo una rielaborazione nel b-side dai minimalisti Ink & Needle della Tattoo Records.

Non male come singolo che anticipa il doppio concept album "Teufelswerk". Quest'ultimo, previsto per Settembre sempre su Gigolo, è stato suddiviso in 'Day' e 'Night'.
Il lato 'Day' è caratterizzato da atmosfere ambient ed una sperimentazione avant-garde elettronica. Il lato 'Night', invece, è un omaggio a ciò che ha ispirato Hell all'inizio della sua carriera. Da Monaco alla New York acid house, con un tocco del caratteristico sound techno tedesco.

A supporto dell'album partirà un tour che toccherà anche Nord e Sud America e Giappone.

Brazilian Girls "New York City"

Hanno fatto tutto con calma per ottenere un buon disco, gli 8 mesi passati a lavorare su "New York City" sono serviti per conferire all'album una propria identità, non semplicemente un follow up di "Talk To La Bomb" soprattutto per il ritmo frenetico con cui affrontarono la sua registrazione.

Quest'album rivela anche un lato più contemplativo e profondo dei Brazilian Girls e rispecchia il desiderio di creare qualcosa di più che una jam session.
Hanno esplorato un'ampia gamma di emozioni e si delinea una marcata influenza da parte di Feist, così come uno sguardo in direzione di Björk nel periodo di "Vespertine".

New York come il centro del mondo, in cui si può trovare un pezzo di St. Pietroburgo così come Berlino. New York come un abbraccio che cinge ogni individuo, la stessa sensazione che quest'album trasmette durante l'ascolto.
