HEALTH remix Crystal Castles to repay CC remixing \HEALTH// back in the day (a classic yo)
So this is Mi Ami who appeared on an old blog we once wrote on, now everyone is on team Mi Ami and Ital check this. It’s 11 minutes and shifts between a bunch of ideas and like Talabot feels beautiful at 11am on a Monday or at 1am on a Friday night.
On repeat.
Stand out track for us from the new Burial EP titled ‘Kindred. Buy the track directly from Hyperdub
1. Kindred
2. Loner
3. Ashtray Wasp/
Stolen from Slutty Fringe, home of shit disco beats and the formidable blogging talents of Tony McPoland. Warpaint - Undertow (Night Plane Remix) by Night Plane
And here we have an example of Joe Goddard effectively reminding everyone how a ‘killer’ pop song is created.
The moments of sheer musical orgasm have been short of late. Here’s something of note taken from The Fields new album. The Field - Then It’s White by Kompakt
Genius.
The standout track of 2010 comes in the form of London producer Girl Unit and his second Nightslugs release (following IRL). The magnificence of this track boils down to the perfect rhythmic timing of the cut up vocals, a fairly aurally attractive synth line but probably most of all the onset of that looped beat. Pretty awesome. Also an interview by Scott Wright for Fader here
Niki And The Dove. From Sweden.
Who knows what Taragana Pyjarama actually means, but imagine if The Field was from a small fishing town on the Baleriac coast and had a wheat free diet? This is basically what it would sound like. I’ve heard another track which is equally as amazing as ‘Girls’ and i expect much to evolve from this pretty rad musical project of Eim Ick
In the first interview done with us here (well stolen from 88days), one of the albums of the year for us, it’s beautiful and extremely delicate - and yet blissfully pop at times. When even the bass slinging masses of online blogs love a record like this - you know it’s something special. Released last week in the UK and US via the pretty much amazing Captured Tracks we recommend you buy and enjoy this record:
This record was a beautiful friend when my heart was recently broken.
Can you tell us who you are?
Yes I can. My name is Jack Tatum and I write songs as Wild Nothing
And how you reproduce your music live, and how you feel about performing your music live.
I think that live my music comes across a bit differently than it does on record. The record is very intimate and hazy but I think live people might find us more clean and energetic. It definitely takes on a full band sound, a little bit louder, little bit faster.
How do you see your music evolving both sonically and in terms of how people consume it?
I mean I think for right now I’m happy with how things are going, learning the ropes of playing shows and touring, but recording is my first love and I want to keep making records that people can get excited about. Sonically I think I’ve gotten a lot out of my system in terms of influences, and while I’m really happy with what I’ve done I’m ready to explore different genres in the next couple years. Ultimately I’d like to find the perfect balance of all the things I love and just make my own kind of pop music.

What influences do you take from other musicians, literature and visual art and how to they reflect in your music?
I think when it comes down to it I’m inspired by sincerity more than anything else. In music, film, art… I like things to have intentions and meanings behind them. The more honest something is the better in my eyes.
What’s your favorite song or music video today?
Ah I dunno. Ariel Pink recently made a mix for FACT that I’ve been listening to like crazy. Lots of ridiculously obscure stuff. My favorite on the mix is a Sumatran folk song called “Indang Pariaman” by Samsimar. It’s super repetitive and addicting
Six minutes and thirty seconds of dreamy futuristic sampled addled twisted electronic house music. Or something. Teengirl Fantasty release their debut LP on Merok Recordings in October. This is
This is when the internet really makes sense, interesting but not perfect singer songwriter with pop sensibilities writes a song that is galzanised and beautified by the fifty percent of dream team production duo, Studio. Failing not to repeat this track 43 times is in itself, a life fail.
