Ursprung is the latest project of Stephan Abry (Workshop) and Hendrik Weber (aka Pantha du Prince). Their release is a mix of their own ‘Ursprung’: Krautrock, ambient, and minimalist guitar-sound á la Durutti Column- the guitar as the primary sound source. Those very influences melt into ten tracks produced by Tobias Levin.

In the meantime, on an entirely different musical planet, 22-year-old wunderkind Nicolas Jaar compiled his first ever contribution to BBC One’s essential Essential Mix, which is like a roller coaster ride through musical history, easily living up to last year’s benchmark essential mix by James Blake. Shigeru Umebayashi followed by *NSYNC, Jay-Z by Johny Greenwood? [...]
In honour of tonight’s gig at West Germany in Berlin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Baltimore’s Lower Dens.
I’m not sure how puppets relate to the content of This, the new single of Berlin’s thumping Modeselektor with vocals by none other than Thom Yorke, but then again, who cares? It’s a surprisingly great track, with pretty visuals courtesy of Brighton-based futuredeluxe.

Enjoy a slightly bizarre Goosezilla rampage with King Creosote’s Third Swan, above, versus King Krule’s slightly self-indulging lament The Noose of Jah City, below, and we’re really not sure what genre of music this would be. King Krule, [...]
“I ride on the bus, head to the city every day
I sit on the seat and dream myself away
I dream I’m on an island with that foxy lady too
But when I awaken, I must be mistaken, I’m on the avenue
Won’t you take me away, and take away me
