Rave’n and Other Proxies

Proxy is heavy. Throws distortions at you and build up their tunes to a nirvanic dark and dirty techno-orgasmo. “Raven” is their new dancefloor weapon, I can forsee it being used as an advert jingle too (by the way have anyone heard Justice’s “Genesis” on the Levis 501 ad?). Play it loud and see urself [...]

Eine Kleine Nacht Musik

The first time I heard La Serenissima 2 months ago, I was totally floored. This is like exactly exactly exactly the kind of music I am looking for. I was a big fan of Krautrock, Kraftwerk (coming to our shores) and JM Jarre, and after hearing La Serenissima, this nostalgia kicks in and fills up [...]

Part of the Weekend Never Dies

What is Part of the Weekend Never Dies? Is it a multimedia presentation of 2ManyDJs? A live registration of Nite Versions? A Documentary about Soulwax on the road?
The answer is that it is the very best fucking thing that ever happened to humanity. Above video is the intro in the DVD [...]

Buraka Som Sistema

Hot hot band from Portugal. Buraka Som Sistema’s genre is Kuduro, which is a sort of uptempo dance hall music from Angola. Unlike kwaito which is more housy and garagy, Kuduro is more hip hop sounding. And then there’s progressive kuduro, which is the European’s tendency to surpress and systemise the raw drum beats to [...]
