"It is a sonic journey man… don't you hate that?! I wanted to have a gothic and bass heavy start that represented the sonic characteristics that Room 2 is capable of handling. I also wanted it to have some real electro, as fabric is one place that can truly appreciate that. It's all pretty dark though and I think it represents the edgier side of club music that you only get to hear in clubs that care."

From the opening tonal throb of Raudive’s (aka Oliver Ho) ‘Shiver’ to the dark and gothic underbelly of Crotaphytus ‘Cnemidophorus Sexlineatus…

While his formative years were spent listening to everything from Yes to Photek, Scott Hansen didn’t get his hands on an actual guitar or drum machine until he left his native Sacramento for San Francisco in 1995. “Encountering this whole new world at 20 years old was a profound experience,” says Hansen, better known by his musical pseudonym Tycho and as the graphic artist ISO50. “At the time, I was just learning the processes of design and music; both felt very similar, and have flowed back and forth for me ever since.”

As seamless as his two creative outlets…

With a new album ready to drop on June 21st, Digitalism is back in action with their latest record I Love You, Dude, following up 2007’s Idealism, an album described by Pitchfork as solidifying the Hamburg team as “the artists probably most dedicated of all to the idea of merging rock and electronic dance music” out of all their contemporaries aiming to get the indie rock kids on the dancefloor. If you were at a party at any point in the year that album dropped, you are familiar with Digitalism’s tunes as they were blasted out of…

I dont know how I miss this one.

The disparate parts gather steam from a lull in unison, defying the smooth surrounding ambience that remains black and motionless. Each piece of the entity has its own, singular task, but is astutely concentrated on achieving the same goal. Orchestrated and efficient, a diverse array of sinewy, soft spots, tightly wound, repetitive forces, and even the more cantankerous components play their own integral role in executing the task at hand. Once started, like a machine it can’t stop. Yes, energy darts in and vanishes away without notice, crescendos rise and fall…

Yet another DJ compilation series? Not quite. The G-Stone Master Series features neither hot new remixes nor a compendium of club hits.

It doesn't even provide you with a DJ mix tape for your personal stereo. Instead it lets you in on some secret all-time favorite tracks of Peter Kruder, Richard Dorfmeister and the likes. Obscure pop songs, classics and experimental instrumentals you may not have heard of - it´s all there for you to explore, to find out what´s special about these tracks and why they've come to be so important for the artistic expression of the G-Stone…

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back Cut Copy. Ever the gracious houseguests, they're returning armed with their third and most ambitious work yet, Zonoscope.

Zonoscope is Cut Copy boiled down to their purest form, a suite of futuristic visions built upon primal rhythm tracks. It is their most immediate work to date but also their most sonically exquisite. Album track "Take Me Over" perfectly encapsulates this, its chiming highlife guitars bouncing around tropical percussion reminiscent of an island holiday in a pop song.

Zonoscope was dreamt in the comedown of In Ghost Colours, the…

Jerry Fuchs was a monster on the drums. It's the immediate thing you hear on Pyramid of the Sun, the new record from Athens post-psych instrumentalists Maserati. It's a furious, focused record, possibly the finest one the band has made, but it's clouded with a heartbreaking reality. After Fuchs died last year, in what can only be termed a freak accident, the remaining band members dedicated themselves to finishing Pyramid of the Sun in his memory. It's a concise album - pithy, by Maserati standards, at 40 minutes. But it packs a pummeling punch: We Got the System…

Jamiroquai have spent their 18-year career occupying an indistinct spot in British music somewhere between almost cool and slightly naff. It has helped Jay Kay (for Jamiroquai, let’s face it, is he, plus an evolving cast of collaborators) become one of those artists whose music seems somehow fashion-proof, because it’s never been in or out of it.

Since their mainstream emergence with number one debut Emergency on Planet Earth back in 1993, the band’s disco-friendly jazz-funk sound has undergone very little makeover, and although Kay’s been somewhat laughably dubbed "the king of funk" in downmarket…

Miami Horror is the distinctly Scarface-esque pseudonym of Melbourne DJ/producer Benjamin Plant. And while his name my conjure up images of power crazy Cuban drug overlords, 80s synth nightmares, mountains of cocaine and chainsaws revenge killings, Plant’s music couldn't be further from these rather violent connotations. Illumination is a collection of relentlessly retro sunshine electro. The kind of stuff you fantasise about hearing on an Ibiza beach at sunrise: bubblegum nudisco funkgasms, with a shiny gloss of hipster style and an undercoat of subtly ironic crowd-pleasing.
This is a record that wears its influences loud and…
