Jesse Rose - What Do You Do If You Don't


1. Forget My Name (feat. Hot Chip)

2. Well Now

3. Pop Yer Porn

4. Miss Taker (feat. David E. Sugar)

5. Wine Gum

6. Asided
7. Night At The Dogs

8. Day Is Done (feat. Hot Chip)

9. Heavy Still (feat. Afra & The Incredible Beatbox Band)

10. You’re All Over My Head

11. Touch My Horn

12. Never Ending

With over a decade of remixing under his drive belts, production credits for the likes of MIA and the careers of Hervé and Sinden owed in part to his label boss persona, Jesse Rose has impeccable credentials. This ‘fidget house’ (his flippant definition) classic has got the best appropriation of a track by a blind, homeless street musician that dressed like Thor since Mr Scruff (‘Night At The Dogs’ ravages Moondog’s ‘Lament’). Where Jesse has certainly not forgotten his club roots, he’s also shown his skills as a producer of songs with ‘Miss Taker’ featuring rising star David E Sugar. And if that isn’t enough Hot Chip are back on their best “C-A-S-I-O P-O-K-E” form, this time spelling out “R-O-S-E” over and over on dub funk single ‘Forget My Name’, making two appearances overall for that all-important celeb endorsement..www.lafriendly.com

In 2008, a mix CD appeared by The Avalanches titled "After the Goldrush". The album is a mashup of 42 songs in different styles and from different eras. The inside cover includes a mini-history of the band and announces that this album "fills the gap for all of The Avalanches junkies out there, a mad mix of eclectic musical inspirations pieced together in a totally unique and off the wall way, it shouldn't work, but it does in a bizarre way that only these antipodean mavericks know how... And remember, The Avalanches wouldn't give a 'castlemaine for X' for anything else." There is a small picture of the band that sits behind the CD. There is no booklet and no credits for the songs or the band aside from the notes in the inside cover...www.answers.com

Tim Exile - Listening Tree


01. Don't Think We're One
02. Family Galaxy
03. Fortress
04. There's Nothing Left Of Me But Her And This
05. Pay Tomorrow
06. Bad Dust
07. Carouselle
08. When Every Day's A Number
09. Listening Tree
10. I Saw The Weak Hand Fall


Tim Exile is set to release his second album, Listening Tree, through Planet Mu and Warp later in the year.

Exile began his musical career in 2000, releasing drum & bass on labels such as Beta and Moving Shadow, but as the years progressed, his sound started to become more complicated and abstract. This was mostly due to his obsession with the Reaktor software, which enabled him to spend much of his time creating new and interesting sounds from scratch. His debut full-length, 2006's Pro Agonist, saw him add elements of breakcore to his constantly mutating hyper-breakbeats, but that gradual change in style is nothing compared to the total departure that he's taken onListening Tree.

Long-term fans may be shocked to know that Listening Tree is peppered with Exile's own vocal tracks, as he tackles issues such as Britain's buy-now-pay-later culture, and even the dynamic nature of the universe on "Family Galaxy," the first single. "'Family Galaxy' is about the constant process of change that underpins everything," explains Exile. "It's a tale from a thingless world where nothing stays the same. As 'now' shines its shifting shades on 'then,' so our ideas of what we have done and will do continually morph."

The result is an eccentric electro-pop album that is just as likely to appeal to fans ofHot Chip as it is Otto Von Schirach...www.residentadvisor.net

Tokyo Black Star - Black Ships


01. Powder Dreams
02. Caballero
03. Violent Rush
04. Black Star feat. Rich Medina
05. Reincarnation
06. Still Sequence
07. Deep Sea
08. Kagura
09. Game Over
10. Midnight Emperor
11. Intermission
12. AES-S3
13. Sepiaphone
14. Blade Dancer Beatless

Innervisions has announced that they will release the debut full-length of home-listening act Tokyo Black Star in March.

For listeners familiar with the lead single from the album, "Game Over," Black Shipsshould come as little surprise. The focus here is on worlds of sound that employ analogue synthesizers and warm, rounded drums. It's not exactly chill-out, as there are beats to be had throughout, but it isn't exactly peak-time fodder either. (Although "Caballero" comes close by its end.) The press release puts it thusly: "At once a nonfiction travel diary, and at the same time a supreme fiction of traveling through the world of imagination, Black Ships comes just in time to transport you beyond our fragile planet."...www.residentadvisor.net

Moderat - Moderat


01. A New Error
02. Rusty Nails
03. Seamonkey
04. Slow Match (feat. Paul St. Hilaire)
05. 3 Minutes Of
06. Nasty Silence
07. Sick With It (feat. Dellé aka Eased from Seeed)
08. Porc # 1
09. Porc # 2
10. No. 22
11. Out Of Sight

In recording Moderat’s self-titled album, the three men began by renting studio space at the legendary Berlin Hansa Studios in order to record the album in analog with the help of the studio’s vintage tube technology and an old EMI console from 1972, restored especially for Moderat. American software designer, Joshua Kit Clayton, was hired to program a superb reverb algorithm specifically for the recording process of this album. This exquisite sound design is one of the reasons why the promotional copies can be listened to only in mono. Finished copies will, of course, be in full stereo.

Additionally, during the first phases of recording the Moderat , Szary and Bronsert bought an EMT Model 140 Plate Reverb on an Internet auction and had to travel to Los Angeles to pick it up. While there, they met the Californian rapper Busdriver and the groundwork for “BeatsWaySick” was laid. Moderat continued to work on this with Busdriver from their respective continents. Unfortunately due to legal issues at the time of manufacturing, this track will be released as an exclusive download in the near future.

Back in the studio, the Berlin vocalist Delle (aka Eased) from leading German act Seeed found himself in Moderat’s studio room while on a quest to find a bottle opener. There on the spot, the three gents of Moderat finally waved good-bye to the concept of a mere instrumental album and said hello to vocal recordings and the song “Sick With It”. Coincidentally, they found older vocal recordings of Paul St. Hilaire that had been recorded by Szary and Bronsert way back on low-noise 1/4″ analog tape. Those recordings are what led to “Slow Match”. All this encouraged Szary and Bronsert to convince Ring it was time for him to contribute vocals, which can be heard on “Rusty Nails” and “Out Of Sight”. “Rusty Nails” is the first single, which will feature remixes by Shackleton and Booka Shade.

Dan Deacon - Bromst


1. Build Voice
2. Red F
3. Paddling Ghost
4. Snookered
5. Of The Mountains
6. Surprise Stefani
7. Wet Wings
8. Woof Woof
9. Slow With Horns / Run For Your Life
10. Baltihorse
11. Get Older

For the last three years Dan Deacon has been working on Bromst. Fusing together the growing intensity of his live performances with his background in electro-acoustic composition, the outcome is a collection of pieces that are intense and epic and at the same time down to earth and welcoming. Bromst embodies the same energy and excitement as Spiderman of the Rings, however the craftsmanship and composition onBromst have a wider scope and richer palette...www.radioexile.com

Free Blood - Parangatang


1. Free Blood - Parangatang 
2. Free Blood - Parangatang (Tim Love Lee Remix) 
3. Free Blood - Weekend Condition 
4. Free Blood - Weekend Condition (Scotty Coats & Wes The Mes Mix)

A great single from DFA signees Free Blood, drawing on brilliant, anything goes no-wave stylings for 'Paragatang', which although sounds well within the parameters of the DFA remit, goes a little further into experimental territory. Tim 'Love' Lee glosses over the more chaotic elements and reshapes the beat into a more organised arrangement. Next comes 'Weekend Condition', another supremely odd composition, situating itself somewhere between Foals, TV On The Radio and Hot Chip. The Scotty Coats & Wes The Mes remix does little to knock some sense into the track, rounding off an admirably strange EP...www.boomkat.com

Black Dice - Repo


01. Night Cream
02. Glazin
03. Earnings Plus Interest
04. Whirligig
05. La Cucaracha
06. Idiots Pasture
07. Lazy
08. Buddy
09. Inches
10. Vegetable
11. Urban Super Mist
12. Ultra Vomit
13. Gag Shack


Experimental Brooklyn trio Black Dice have announced the imminent release of their fifth official full-length.

Entitled Repo, the record sees the former DFA act going in a slightly accessible direction. We think. Described in the press release as having cultivated a "new roadhouse blues-band philosophy" and having a collection of "concise" songs to show it off, you'd be forgiven for thinking that these tunes will be a kinder and gentler Black Dice. In the same breath, however, we get "sonically battering" and "flat-out bizarre," which for a band that started their career off with a host of legendarily confrontational noise performances before unleashing an almost soothing dub-inspired collection of droning noise rock on their breakthrough album, Beaches and Canyons, is saying quite a bit. Whatever the result, fans of acts like Gang Gang Dance and Fuck Buttons will get their fix come April, once the record is released on Paw Tracks...www.residentadvisor.net

The Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come


01. The Simple Life 
02. The Future Will Come 
03. One Day 
04. A New Bot 
05. Tonight 
06. No Time 
07. Accusations 
08. The Station 
09. Human Disaster 
10. Happy House

Four years after dropping the synth-drenched opus Less Than Human, the Juan Maclean are finally ready for its follow-up. Come April 14, the project run by former Six Finger Satellite front-man John MacLean will release the long-awaited The Future Will Come LP courtesy of DFA. And according to the beatmaker, fans should expect a change. Described as being more vocal and pop, the Juan Maclean’s sophomore effort finds the project going back to the '80s this time out and, in fact, entering some very Human League territory, MacLean says in the press release. “In my career as the Juan Maclean, my guiding principle was to start out more dance-y and instrumental, and someday bow out making flat-out, three-and-a-half-minute pop songs,” he explains. “I wanted to do an album with male-female interplay in the vocals,” adding that this has led him to add LCD Soundsystem’s Nancy Whang as a full-fledged band member, as well as listen to a whole lot of Dare-era Human League in the lead-up to the record. Also helping out on The Future Will Come are Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel of NY disco duo Holy Ghost! and !!! drummer Jerry Fuchs, all whom were recently part of the Juan MacLean’s full-band live tour and helped debut much of this new material last year.

zZz - Running with the Beast


01 Lover
02 Grip
03 Spoil The Party
04 Sign Of Love
05 Majeur
06 Running With The Beast
07 Amanda
08 Loverboy
09 The Movies
10 Angel
11 Islands


zZz are band made up of an organist and a drummer who doubles up as a vocalist, and both members make one heck of a racket, but a very dark, danceable one that will appeal to the nu-wave aficionado. The group take elements of electro and goth for a weird and wonderful amalgamation of sounds; think of The Doorsin a triple-threat match alongside The Killers and The Cult and you’re nearly there. 

'Lover' is a dark and funk-infused effort that can only be appreciated at full volume. 'Grip', by contrast, is a track that has got the band some attention recently appearing on a FIAT commercial and it deserves more praise. With haunting organ drones and a militaristic drumming this tune is a great standout that really helps zZz to separate themselves from the current crop of pretenders and establish themselves as real contenders for '09. 'Spoil The Party' is an upbeat anthem with funky keys and resounding electronic elements. 'Sign Of Love'follows up nicely and is a little heavier than previous material, reminiscent of Joy Division at their most chaotic and captivating. 'Majeur' is much the same, and by this point the only criticism one could have of the two-piece is that it all does sound very similar, but there is enough variation in here to appease lovers of the growing crossover genre. Changing tactics slightly on the title track 'Running With The Beast'zZz turn it up to 11 and concentrate on a more acoustic effort focusing on the drums; it's here they do well, sounding like a more substantial and much cooler Interpol

'Amanda' is moody, slow and romantic and it will surely inspire you in some way upon listening, coming off like The Postal Service with a black heart. While'Loverboy' and its blend of raw and high-pitched vocals tones allow for an entertaining and altogether random song that sounds like it comes straight out of'Hedwig And The Angry Inch', making it interesting to say the very least. 'The Movies' is a noisy and rather unnecessary two minute instrumental lead into the far more sonic and powerful 'Angel', which harks back to Gary Numan's glory days. It also borrows in part from more contemporary acts like She Wants Revenge, blending soft imagery with dark subject matter for a prominent and impactful song. The final track here is the emotive 'Islands' and it's the best way they could have finished this varied record, stripping everything down for a raw and soft few minutes of quality musicianship. 'Running With The Beast' will be a relief for those who inhabit the darker side of the musical spectrum, hankering for something to go deaf to for a while...www.clickmusic.co.uk

Michna - Magic Monday


1 Triple Chrome Dipped 
2 Swiss Glide 
3 Believe In It 
4 Skunk Walk
5 Bumper Car Masters 
6 Levitation 
7 Raw Paw 
8 Redline Flights 
9 Do What You Want To Do 
10 Italian Visitor 
11 Avant 
12 Third Orbit 


True to the dazzling and over the top artwork emblazoned upon the sleeve, Adrian Michna's music proves to be a fine and splendid confection, cross-pollinating a variety of electronic production disciplines, taking in the eccentricities of the Alpine 'Swiss Glide' (complete with oompah-style horns) and 'Skunk Walk's modern, digital funk, whilst leaving a little room for the crispy disco of 'Bumper Car Masters'. Elsewhere 'Do What You Want To Do' is indietronic hip hop of the finest order and 'Redline Flights' dips into a slick electro mode, painting a portrait of an artist unwilling to settle down in any one genre within the electronic music spectrum.

Junior Boys - Begone Dull Care


1. Parallel Lines
2. Work
3. Bits And Pieces
4. Dull To Pause
5. Hazel
6. Sneak A Picture
7. The Animator
8. What It's For


The duo spent most of 2008 working on Begone Dull Care, the follow-up to 2006's So This Is Goodbye. Because Jeremy Greenspan is still in Canada but Matthew Didemus recently relocated to Berlin, they had to put this one together in a Postal Service sort of way. Begone Dull Care comes out on Domino in Canada on March 24, with a U.S. release set for April 7. "Hazel", the first single, will also be released on 12" and as a download on
So what's up with that album title? "The title is a reference to a short film by the pioneering Oscar-winning Scottish-Canadian animator and electronic composer, Norman McLaren, who was a big influence on the conception and creation of this album," says a press release.Starting March 28 in Toronto, the two will tour the U.S. and Canada, and they'll bring along Domino labelate Max Tundra as their opener. Just because, you know, a Junior Boys live show isn't enough inventive bedroom pop by itself. They also have a brief Euro trek scheduled for early March..www.pitchforkmedia.com

Gui Boratto - Take My Breath Away


01. Take My Breath Away
02. Atomic Soda
03. Colors
04. Opus 17
05. No Turning Back
06. Azzurra
07. Les Enfants
08. Besides
09. Ballroom
10. Eggplant
11. Godet


From the start, it’s clear ‘Take My Breath Away’ is destined both for dancefloors and home stereos with the tracklist split roughly down the middle between Boratto’s standard (and excellent) deep techno tracks and cute electro pop numbers.

Driving techno fans will lap up ‘Ballroom’ and ‘Atomic Soda’, electro aficionados might dig ‘Eggplant’, and ‘Take My Breath Away’ and ‘Opus’ will please those who like their techno to burn as slow as a candle.

‘Colors’, ‘Azzurra’ and ‘Les Enfants’ showcases Gui Boratto’s calmer and more joyful side by featuring broken beats, electric guitars and live drums.

And fans of the hugely popular ‘Beautiful Life’ might get their euphoria fix from the vocals on ‘No Turning Back’.

Overall ‘Take My Breath Away’ is an accomplished continuation of Gui Boratto’s colourful melodies...www.beatportal.com

John Tejada - Fractals EP


1 Fractals 
2 The Open 
3 Better Days 
4 Bounce 
5 Artificial Body 
6 Time Factory 
7 Echoing Culture 


Featured on Mr Tejadas Fabric Mix CD ! “Fractals” explores the inner musical geometry of John Tejada’s electronic productions in 3 varieties. The opening track “Fractals” builds driving, rhythmic layers, evolving modular blips and atmospheres which then reduce to reveal the elements that lie beneath. “The Open” is a featured track on Tejada’s Fabric 44 mix. Just like a warm cup of morning coffee in your hand, it gives the feeling of a fresh new day and the possibilities that lie ahead. An ethereal piece that may remind some of Tejada’s classic melodic moments. Continuing the nostalgic theme is the aptly titled “Better Days.” A piano chord driven track which brings to mind classics from long ago, but with a Tejada twist...wordandsound.de

Bell X1 - Blue Lights On The Runway


1. The Ribs of a Broken Umbrella
2. How Your Heart is Wired
3. The Great Defector
4. Blow Ins
5. Amelia
6. A Better Band
7. Breastfed
8. Light Catches Your face
9. One Stringed Harp
10. The Curtains are Twitchin’

After critical raves, three national tours, and multiple late-night TV bookings earlier this year, Ireland's Bell X1 has recorded its most ambitious work to date with Blue Lights on the Runway, coming out March 3.The band's central trio of Paul Noonan, Dave Geraghty, and Dominic Phillips penned every song on the record. Leader Noonan said, "We started recording last November in a big, draughty, stately home called Ballycumber House, under the beady gaze of musty portraits of the Lords and Ladies of the estate from the 15th century. We wanted to make something different, something tight and coherent from start to finish. Where we've landed is a little bit electronic, a little bit Bacharach, a little bit New Orleans Funeral March."Bell X1 recall Eno-era Talking Heads, Sigur Ros, and XTC on jagged, vintage synth-laden "Broken Umbrella," the syncopated "How Your Heart Is Wired," fuzzed out hard rocker "Breast Fed," the electrifying "The Great Defector," and gorgeous ballad "Light Catches Your Face."Bell X1's US debut Flock earned the band incredible reviews earlier this year. Tastemaker website Very Short List called Flock an "early front-runner for best record of 2008." In a four-star write up for Paste Magazine, Christine Van Dusen called the group "one of Ireland's great bands," continuing, "Flock will prove that Bell X1 is an incredibly valuable export."New York Daily News' Jim Farber wrote, "It's not just [Paul] Noonan's sharp eye in these songs that proves winning. It's also his flair for dialogue and his keen way with a metaphor. His cruel writing will make you swoon."..www.yeproc.com

Squarepusher - Number Lucent


1. Zounds Perspex
2. Paradise Garage 
3. Heliacal Torch 
4. Star Time 1
5. Arterial Fantasy 
6. Illegal Dustbin 


Squarepusher and Warp follow up the finger melting jazz-fusion noodling of his 'Just A Souvenir' set with a brilliant mini album of floor dedicated cuts making a return to the breaks mentallism of yesteryear. Touching on a range of blatant influences from '92 breakbeat 'ardcore to darkside junglist mayhem and dousing them in electric jazz fretwork this is a return to the Squarepusher sound which captivated so many heads between 1997's 'Hard Normal daddy' and 2001's 'My Red Hot Car'. 'Zounds Perspex' Is an outright floor mover, with raving piano riffs and twisup' breakbeats contorted around Jenkinson's flying fingerwork, while 'Paadise garage' and 'Heliacal Torch' both burn brightly with 140bpm ravers rhythms providing solid grounding for space tripping fusion constructions. On the flipside the bpms swing upwards and the vibe becomes considerably more unhinged with 'Arterial fantasy', entering classic drill 'n bass territory with hyper modified 'ardcore riffs skillfully mutilated for raving footwork, leaving 'Illegal Dustbin' to polish off any foolhardy nutters with a barrage of breakcore.http://www.boomkat.com

N.A.S.A. - The Spirit of Apollo


1. Intro
2. The People Tree (feat. David Bryne, Chali 2na, Gift Of Gab & Z-Trip)

4. N.A.S.A. Music (feat. Method Man, E-40 & DJ Swamp)
5. Way Down (feat. RZA, Barbie & John Frusciante)
6. Hip-hop (feat. KRS-One, Fatlip & Slim Kid Tre)
7. Four Rooms Earth View
8. Strange Enough (feat. Karen O, Ol' Dirty Bastard & Fatlip)
9. Spacious Thoughts (feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith)
10. Gifted (feat. Kanye West, Santa Gold & Lykke Li)
11. A Volta (feat. Sizzla, Amanda Blank & Lovefoxxx)
12. Theirs A Party (feat. George Clinton & Chali 2na)
13. Whatchadoin? (feat. Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santogold & Nick Zinner)
14. O Pata (feat. Kool Kojak & DJ Babao)
15. Soul Samba (feat. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien & DJ Qbert)
16. The Mayor (feat. The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, Scarface & DJ AM)
17. N.A.S.A. Anthem


N.A.S.A is an ongoing creative collaboration between two lifelong music aficionados, Squeak E. Clean ad DJ Zegon, and their friends, friends of friends and musical heroes. While N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and contains a number of superstar artists from both coasts of the US, it is about as far from a tension-building geographical showdown as a record can get. Rather, their Anti debut The Spirit of Apollo was born with the righteous goal of bringing people together through music and art, and that is exactly what masterminds Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean) and Ze Gonzales (DJ Zegon) have done. Brazilian funk provides the roots of the songs and binds them together into a cohesive whole, but from there, the imagination behind The Spirit of Apollo ranges far and wide. Unexpected collaborations abound on the eighteen track release. Tom Waits growls over Kool Keith, Karen O taunts while Ol' Dirty Bastard gives shout-outs to Wu Tang and N.A.S.A from the grave, and David Byrne, Chuck D and others expound on the evils of "Money." In spite of the range of performers, the pairings seem organic, inspired and make perfect sense on the first listen, never coming off as ironic or impulsive..http://www.anti.com

Rudi Arapahoe - Echoes From One To Another


01 I Close My Eyes And Float To The Ceiling
02 To Gather Flowers
03 Forest Of Arches
04 Dionysian Birds
05 Every Time I Sleep
06 Echoes From One To Another
07 Lunar Semaphore
08 Conversation Piece
09 Vulture Phantasy
10 Pleroma
11 Last Words Unspoken
12 My Shadow (Vanishes)

This is just a monstrously brilliant album. I had no idea what to expect as I hadn't heard anything from it at all and when I put it on it just blew me away. It's very hard to describe exactly what it's like as it's such a deep blend of styles, yet comes across as quite unique. There's a hint of Grouper, a little textural-ness that's almost Gas-like, some beautifully ethereal classical moments and a generally fluid and sculptural beauty. However you choose to categorize this yourself, be sure that it's a simply stunning piece of work. Recommended..www.smallfish.co.uk
