theduke — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:30:04 +0000

Dancin’ with the devil on a level far beyond wickedness and iniquity, German band ABBY give an all-embracing thumbs up to Monsieur Adi remixing their recent ‘Streets’ single – as the man from France comes away with colossal synthesizer results. BONUS! MORE BONUS!

DEJA – Still Falling

theduke — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:33:33 +0000

Falling head over heels in audio collision love, dance music’s version of The White Stripes carry on with a slow and gritty slow-timed beast – that moves shadowy and swift like a Dark Brotherhood assassin on-point for his / her first kill. 80’s glam gets re-injected from DEJA this April. DEJA – Still Falling

Vegan — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:47:14 +0000

Fyfe brings alternative pop to a whole new dimension with his latest release of "Lies". In preparation of the release of Fyfe (Paul Dixon)'s debut EP titled Solace (set to be available April 7 courtesy of Benvolio Music), this 23-year-old Londoner greets us with his analytical yet instinctive take on the realm of pop.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Sacrilege”

Vegan — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 02:41:41 +0000

As promised, today marks the day that eccentric trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs premiere their first song since 2010 on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. Karen O and gang put everything on the table with groovy cut "Sacrilege" that escalates from the bare basics they are known for into a...

LVL UP – “Nightshade” [Video]

Vegan — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:33:25 +0000

Don't be fooled by the all caps vowel-suck. LVL UP have nothing to do with Nintendo, and you won't find a Gameboy anywhere near their rig. This New York lo-fi outfit is about as far from chiptune as one band can get. But with chunky guitars, big drums, and a...

RADIOHEAD / SILENT RIDER

theduke — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:13:47 +0000

Based from out of Brooklyn, New York – Reed Kackley’s Silent Rider’s is an art form loved in arrangement and tempo. As part of his live setup, Dan Goldberger, Ryan Payne and Aaron Goodrich enlist themselves as that extra kick needed to turn all of their studio work into a live, breathing monster. Alongside another [...]

ALCALA x3

theduke — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:39:07 +0000

Daniel Alcala’s glorious choice of refrain use is evident amongst his remix of Worship’s ‘Horizon’ and his sharp & short, staggered use of electronic flairs on ‘Household Goods’ from TEED. ‘Pets’ by Porno For Pyros is just the icing on this ravenous New York City cake via its laidback and relaxing groove. WORSHIP – Horizon [...]

Year In Review 2012

theduke — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:13:11 +0000

Hurricanes, floods and other variations of extreme weather. We survived. 12-12-12-12-12… etc. We survived. 12-21-12… the Mayan apocalypse. We survived. Internet crashes, a tough economic recession, awful service from our public server company, and Gangnam Style… we survived. Not to mention a radical lifestyle change by yours truly which left me to take on a [...]

JAMAICA – Jericho (Mixes)

sundance — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 23:46:35 +0000

Rolling along a cross-bed of bouncy beats and heavyweight sectioned action, garage-titan Todd Edwards styles a remix in a way that sees Daft Punk creating a secret UK Garage track that the studio engineer has just resurrected from the lost archives on the sly. Tepr handle the spring time atmosphere freshness, whilst Alvin Risk beefs [...]

HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR – Painted Eyes (Mixes)

sundance — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:42:56 +0000

Whether it’s a full-on groove fest from Inflagranti, a killer-drivin’ bassline from Moonlight Matters, or a slow grooving series of twirls from Wolfram.. Hercules And Love Affair ‘Painted Eyes’ is a lesson to us all about percussive glamour and straightforward uniqueness. HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR – Painted Eyes (Inflagranti Remix) HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR – [...]

ELAN TAMARA – Don’t Know Why

sundance — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 17:44:04 +0000

Taken from Elan Tamara’s “Organ EP” on Big Dada Recordings, ‘Don’t Know Why’ plays like a continuous carousel journey around a tantalizing and colourful roundabout called avant-garde with a charming orchestra named after a delicate heartbe...

PASSION PIT feat. FUTURE KING & GOOD CAT – Constant Conversations (Plus Move Remix)

sundance — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 14:17:49 +0000

Moving through a connection of alternative Boston caster iron and Los Angeles scripted hip-hop, Future King, Good Cat, Donatello and Thom von Blake (as Plus Move) reach down into their bag and pull out a swaying and soothing re-rub of a Passion Pit staple favourite. PASSION PIT feat. FUTURE KING & GOOD CAT – Constant [...]

THE SINCLAIR SINCLAIR – The Dreamers Of The Dreams EP

sundance — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:23:20 +0000

The Sinclair Sinclair are back, and they are back with a vengeance. Intertwined against a shrubbery of electronica and four prickly branches of supernatural substance, “The Dreamers Of The Dreams” EP is a continuous tale of faraway alternative and absent-minded guitar bliss. The Sinclair Sinclair are indeed out of this world… Available in multiple digital [...]

ERIC PRYDZ – Everyday (Xristo Remix) / DEPECHE MODE – Martyr (AntonyToga Remix)

sundance — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 11:19:01 +0000

Two titans of the dance audio ring are motioned over by two worthy contenders packing their own bass kicks and treble sweeps in their steps. Revisiting AntonyToga’s rework of Depeche Modes’ Martyr (first covered back in December 2012) and welcoming in Xristo’s re-reb of Eric Prydz’s ‘Everyday,’ should put hairs on the chest of hairless [...]

PIXIES – Where Is My Mind

sundance — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 09:40:52 +0000

Totally undaunted by reworking a legendary Pixies track, Philadelphia’s ReedStreets takes on their vintage classic and makes it sound more cooler than a badly designed pair of “shackle shoe” Adidas trainers.

sundance — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 22:13:53 +0000

For fans of Beth Orton, Tom Waits or Nick Cave, Anti Records is the sister label of Epitaph Records.

CRYSTAL CASTLES – ‘Child I Will Hurt You (Joneses Remix)’ / JONESES – ‘Cough Syrup’

sundance — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:23:59 +0000

Audio amazement granted by Charlotte, NC’s grafter-of-choice sees Joneses take on Crystal Castles alongside his own bass crunchy ‘Cough Syrup.’ His glockenspiels are out in force. CRYSTAL CASTLES – Child I Will Hurt You (Joneses Remix) JONESES...

ATO RECORDS FALL SAMPLER 2012

sundance — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 15:29:44 +0000

Going through the motions like a fake, uninterested being of bogus individuality and worldly repeated ignorance, ATO Records 2012 Fall Sampler provides you with a refreshing opposite to an overly used and a misinformed trait of accepted common belief. Striking the ground with a bunch of heavenly rock matches on this sampler, is a couple [...]

DEJA – Holiday

sundance — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 12:33:31 +0000

2013 is looking very strong for the duo known as DEJA. Ending out 2012 with an unambiguous and translucent instance of alternative waterfall action, DEJAs’ sound is an ongoing example of what can be achieved when a little patience and thought is inv...

NETTWERK FALL MUSIC SAMPLER 2012

sundance — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 05:00:33 +0000

JORDSY – ‘Soon Enough’ / JORDSY + KERRI – ‘Anyone Else But You (Moldy Peaches Cover)’

sundance — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:03:01 +0000

Bigger, longer and even more improved from before, JORDSY’s ‘Soon Enough’ is all but enough to fill up any hungry hole that is craving for alternative dance nuggets and sharply whisked indie-electro. JORDSY + Kerri’s cover of the Moldy Peaches ‘Anyone Else But You’ leaves no traces of giant seeds or bitter aftertaste moments. JORDSY [...]

HOLM. – Best Of Days 1-50 LP

sundance — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:09:28 +0000

77 days in the life of J. Thatcher May (aka Holm.) gives harvest to a 20-track message of substance through Holm.’s debut album “Best Of Days 1-50.” Summoned by those unseen angels around us and overlooked by an appearance by Shelf Nunny, Holm.’s infusion of tones, clarity and inner-textures flows downstream like a crystal glazed [...]

Introducing.. THE GOLDEN PONY

sundance — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 20:59:09 +0000

The Golden Ponys’ lets-go-round-the-merry-go-round mix of Passion Pits’ ‘Carried Away’ is most definitely bouncy. Brooklyn’s double act of up & coming flavour packs more memorable energy into their stride, than a little puppy who’s running towards their next meal. Even though each and every one of their mixes are exciting, TGPs’ memorable moments are ‘Juicy [...]

MAU x5

sundance — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 17:41:59 +0000

Luis F. de Sousa, Nuno Lamy, Pedro Oliveira, Eliana and Alex Zuk group together their talents for a proper love-fest involving clerical vocals, dreamy synth lines and a pleasurable amount of friendly accordion use, used with epic drum kit strikes. MAU make aural-refreshes seem like a walk in the park. MAU – Cheetah PASSION PIT [...]
