Montreal’s Michael Silver isn’t your typical DJ. Also known as CFCF , he’s made a few remixes here and there for artists like Crystal Castles and HEALTH. Which is how I was introduced to his work. He’s less of a DJ and more of one of those electronica artists that attempts to make DJing all about straight…read more
The first time I had heard anything of HEALTH was a collaboration with Crystal Castles, (both being experimental, electronic-ish artists) and I was astounded by the merging of the two. I recently downloaded HEALTH’s latest venture, Get Color, and to be honest, just found the album to be mediocre at best; all the songs sounded like one big…read more
I know, I know, its a been a long time coming, they are one of my favourite of 09 I just never got around to writing this review. The Very Best are exactly what the music industry needs right now, unique sounds drawing from african influence to make some of the most interesting songs I have heard in a really long…read more
Got this from the dopehouse , where else? He doesn’t know if this is the correct title but the track goes hard nevertheless. Jay Electronica has been on some crazy game lately, it is crazy. He is just straight causing havoc and destruction on every song he graces his…read more
Before I begin my review I will say right up front that I don’t get it. I don’t get the attraction of organized chaos in music. I understand the urge to make completely unique music but I kind of like music that makes me dance, or soothes me, or makes me think deeply, or even music that has…read more
tonstartssbandht is from Montreal, and was first introduced to me by the Friendship Bracelet Club Vol. 2 compilation where the demo version of “Black Country” appeared. Friendship Bracelet has been curating amazing compilations (go here and check out the side bar to download/buy), and if you haven’t looked at Friendship Bracelet in a while make sure to…read more
Get Busy Committee are a trio from Los Angeles, California. I had been introduced to the unknown band by another AW Music writer, and I was very pleased with the outcome of their track My Little Razorblade . My initial instinct and automatic supposition was a comparison to Girl Talk; the exaggerated overlapping voices over one another, the sort of electronic…read more
Whoever said electro is dead clearly hasn’t heard of Nujax . I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m out, I GO OUT, and these guys play hard electro and know how to throw a good party. The Montreal based duo made up of Justin Adler and Alan Brinsmead are certainitly on the up and up, with bookings everywhere from Montreal to Mexico and after listening in on one of their sets I can see…read more
Semtex on the video: ” Seeing Jay Electronica live is an expericnce to say the least, I can’t admit to seeing every major Hip Hop artist of recent history perform but I have seen a lot of them. Jay Electronica is different though, his performance, intelligence, word play and general charisma make for an unforgettable show, its shows like tonight…read more
The talents of Pete Yorn have been obvious for quite some time now (mostly since his hit single Strange Condition that was featured in Me, Myself, and Irene ). Scarlett Johansson, on the other hand, is known not for her music talent, but for her work on the silver screen. When I first heard Regulator on the radio earlier this year, I was intrigued by…read more
