Filed under: another awesome piece of music that we missed in 2013. A spacey pop band from The Blue Mountains in NSW Australia, Cloud Control released a mind-blowingly good album called Dream Cave in August 2013. If you’re from Australia,...
This song by Tessela is a lesson in the power of percussion. Ultimately, that’s all dance music is. Percussion. Whatever other trends are driving the kids nuts; whatever vocals, synths, sounds; it’s all completely irrelevant. All that matters, in dancemusic,...
We first featured London electro-pop duo, THUMPERS, back in June 2013, with their excellent track Unkinder (A Tougher Love). The band have moved on from their successful EP and are now launching their debut album, Galore, in February. Following up...

If you’re a fan in Canada of the beautiful game of football (or ‘soccer’ as us North Americans like to call it), you are no doubt acquainted with the excellent analysis and insight provided by Kristian Jack. As a former...

I have felt like crap these past 2 days, after surviving 2013 without really getting sick. I should be in bed, so you guys will get a brief rundown of what’s happening in the music world. Dum Dum Girls have...

In the summer of 2012, we featured a band from Echo Park in Los Angeles. They are called NO, which is damn near impossible to Google. The band have signed to Toronto label Arts & Crafts and are dropping their...
