Album Review : LCD Soundsystem’s ‘American Dream’
There’s always been something about James Murphy that I’ve been drawn to. Ever since I bought LCD Soundsystem’s Sound Of Silver on a whim back in 2007 I’ve been enamored with the guy. Maybe because he’s close to my age. Maybe because he’s a middle-aged guy acting like a middle-aged guy. He’s not posturing the dude-isms …
Album Review: Calvin Harris – Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1
The evolution of Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris has been quite an epic one. Rewind to his emergence on to the scene, when he was a geeky looking guy singing about how amazing the eighties were.

Trackc: Lucian – Forever (feat. Remmi)
New York producer Lucian has just released the title track from his upcoming EP, Forever. He’s turned once again to Nashville singer Remmi to collaborate on the track, and it’s a real synth-dance-pop winner. Right from the off, Lucian drops these huge synth chords, often off-kilter and off-beat, and almost always embellished with little tumbling …

Album Review: Alex Smoke – Love Over Will
Mendelssohn just wanted to be Mendelssohn. So said my essays at University. All of them. Admittedly in a music degree where performance and composition were given (at least by me) more credence, there wasn’t an abundance of them to do, but after discovering the line in my first essay and liking how it made me …
See: Madeaux releases new video for Kill For Me
Not only is A-Trak a stellar producer, seems he ain’t half bad at recognising talent either. LA producer Madeaux was spotted by him, and was signed to Fools Gold following conversations via Twitter DMs. Kill For Me is full of sweeping electronics and slightly menacing vocals emploring the recipient to, well, you know. It veers …
