Hello! We’ll have a typically epic New Arrivals post for you within the hour but, while you wait, why not enjoy this new remix of Cut Copy’s “Blink and You’ll Miss a Revolution” by Toro y Moi? Blink And You’ll Miss a Revolution (Toro Y Moi Remix) by cutcopymusic

“If you’re in a studio making an album you can easily say, “Fuck everyone, I’m making this music for me” … but if you are going to start standing up and inviting people to come and see you … You have to at least something that’s worth being there for.” So says acclaimed electronic musician [...]

April was a phenomenal month for new releases here, and of course when the influx is so great many fantastic albums end up falling through the cracks.  Here are a few of the most criminally overlooked albums of April, please to be sharing your lists as well!

I’ve got to be the only person in the known universe who’s not completely put-off by the term “chillwave.” You guys know we used to have a genre called “cuddlecore,” right? Like, let’s reserve some of that ire for shit that actually matters. Genre tags are idiotic but necessary, so let’s all figure out ways [...]

One of the great upsides is not only getting the chance to listen to an avalanche of new bands, but also to listen to bands they love. Case in point: Bobby Boomerange — aka Dan Whitford from eMusic chart-wreckers Cut Copy paid a visit to the noted Melbourne radio show Noise In My Head to [...]

Way back when I remember raving on here about Teengirl Fantasy, this young dreamy DJ duo who had a single that Alex and I really loved. And by God we still stand behind that. But the praise that I gave to Teengirl I really should have reserved for Memory Cassette, a far superior group in [...]

Ida No and Cameron Mesirow are two of our finest divas, Ida the haunted voice behind Glass Candy, Cameron performing as Glasser, a hypnotizing project out of Los Angeles that we’ve been championing since last fall. On Saturday night both played in Brooklyn — Glass Candy in a bowling alley, Glasser in a DIY space [...]

Doesn’t look much like a deep house maverick, does it? Something about Walter Jones, the guy, and the hauntingly perfect single he’s just released, I’ll Keep On Loving You, doesn’t seem to add up. The ho-hum, could-be-your-postman name. The hometown (New Orleans — not exactly a dance music mecca). The fact Jones has been making [...]

(we have ways of making you talk) Every now and then a record shows up on the site with little warning, and gets lost in the onslaught of bigger titles with more cache or cred. Do not let Reichmann’s Wunderbar be that record — especially if you have a soft spot for the B-Side of [...]

I don’t know how long it’s been since I have posted something, but as I have noticed a distinct lack of electronic music chatter here lately I figured it was high time.  Here are a few records that have been killing me lately. Telemetrik: My Lightyear – This very well may have become my all [...]

It ain’t summer yet, at least in New York. Today, it’s not even very spring-like — although I suppose April showers are part of the deal. Point is, if you’ve got any glum residue left, any room in your psyche for a few more ruminative, mournful, moody, drippy musical moments, then I have the album [...]

He makes it soooooo easy. When someone is this good at this many things — and things so wide-ranging in scope, you can’t help but be shocked in spite of yourself — it’s damn near impossible not to tumble down the rabbit hole. The Arthur Russell story is well-chronicled amongst music obsessives, the gist being: [...]

Well it’s a bit misleading to say “first” — I’ve been listening on and off to the promo of the newest Junior Boys LP for a month or so. But it’s still with a set of fresh ears that I try to form an opinion of this very clean, very understated, mostly unassuming record. First [...]

Along with Hyperdub and Tectonic, Tempa rounds out the top triumvirate of genre-defining, classic-dropping dubstep labels. We’ve gotten Tempa releases on eMusic before, but today we got an unholy glut of releases in — a few of which are as essential as anything the genre has produced to date. If you have even the slightest [...]

2009 marks Warp Records’ 20th year in business — a staggering achievement for anyone, and one all the more impressive considering the fickle taste of electronic music fans. But for Warp, they haven’t just adapted to the past two decades’ worth of faddish shifts and genre re-inventions: in many cases, they have led them. Certainly [...]

To say this one snuck up on me would be an understatement. I’d never even kinda heard of the 7×7 Beat Series (out on the equally mysterious All City Dublin label) until I clicked out of sheer curiosity about 20 pages deep into browsing New on eMusic. Here are the basics: The Deal: Seven 2-3 [...]

This week Evil Nine released They Live! – a zombie themed electro record with collaborations with EL-P and others. It’s pretty freakin good, and inspired me to track down a few more Halloween or Horror themed (or at least appropriate in tone) electronic albums in the the spirit of the season.

To follow on from Yancey’s last post, here are a few albums that have washed up on European shores.

I first saw Bishi perform one very hot night in the summer of 2006 at east London’s Bistroteque. The audience had started to blow out the candles on their tables – even the tiny amount of heat produced by a tea light was too much. The room was nearly dark when Bishi appeared, using her [...]

Back in Britain now and predictably it’s throwing down with rain. I’m warming my sodden feet with a few of this week’s new releases.
