MONDAY MUSIC: THEESATISFACTION

Black Up by Shabazz Palaces was one of our favourite albums last year, so it comes as no surprise that we would be listening very closely when THEESatisfaction, the girls who pinned some of the female vocals on Black Up, come back on their own, with a slightly sweeter funk on their debut album Awe [...]

HA ZA VU ZU

Art collective Ha Za Vu Zu, based in Istanbul, will perform today at Voo Store. Don’t miss the after party at Luzia with the collective that also use music as their medium.

FUTURE SELF

Made is a curious and pretty bling – as in very white – space on the ninth floor of Haus des Reisens on Alexanderplatz. Their focus is to bring people from different media together and work out a new collaboration, so you never really know what to expect, which I suppose is the idea. It [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: AUSTRA

While some are obsessing over the return of Beach House, I am totally addicted to last year’s debut album Feel it Break by Austra. Strangely beautiful video as well for Beat and the Pulse by Claire Edmonson.

Even if you don’t like watching music videos that are embedded in blogs, this one is amazing, or as one of the youtube-users says “oh my god it’s so beautiful it’s like unicorns”. Bear in Heaven will be playing gigs in Europe starting May 16 in London and they’ll be in Berlin on June 12.

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS TOUR

Flight of the Conchords have recently announced their upcoming Australian tour dates. Could this be the beginnings of a series three?

MONDAY MUSIC: NOUGHTS AND EXES

Anyway, local folk-pop outfit Noughts and Exes are a slightly more [...]

RESHAPED AND REMODELED

Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer are collaborating once again: the duo, who last year released a double-album of re-worked material from the ECM catalogue, are now re-shaping the legendary track Zug by Conrad Schnitzler. The 12″ includes a 20-minute mix of Aktion, on the A-side and 15-minute Sorgenkind mix on the flip. The collection will [...]

TUESDAY MUSIC: BEIRUT

We can’t help it, we simply have a soft spot for Beirut, who will be touring Europe this summer, by the way, including a September slot in Berlin.

MONDAY MUSIC: SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO

Damn, this is amazing – visually, sonically – perfect.
