Agoria has created an album that is at the same time constantly changing while also having a unique flow and mood of its own.

Sebastien Devaud, aka Agoria, entered the world of electronic dance music at a peculiar moment in time. Unlike the first generation of techno producers, he’s too young to have been actively listening to early 80’s electronic pop by groups such as Depeche Mode or New Order. But unlike younger DJs and musicians, he’s been exposed to house and techno more or less since the start of these genres.

Living in rural France, Agoria first got hooked to electronic music through listening to Kevin Saunderson’s classic Good Life on the local radio as a twelve-year-old kid in 1988. He was so impressed by the Inner City hit that he spent the following afternoons washing his neighbours’ cars to earn enough money to buy his first 12″. His next revelation came a few years later when one of the first DJ sets he experienced happened to be from Jeff Mills in nearby Lyon. It was the first time that I saw a DJ using three turntables and a drum machine. He really created something completely new rather that just playing records. And the way he moved, his precision and speed, impressed me.

“Rio Arriba” is the sophomore album from ZZK artist Chancha Via Circuito who molds local South American rhythms […]

FRIDAY APRIL 1st

SATURDAY APRIL 2nd

Azam Ali’s From Night to the Edge of Day explores traditional lullabies of Iranian, Turkish, Lebanese, and Kurdish origin. And as Azam Ali’s decidedly “grown-up” treatment of them testifies, lullabies are not really just for children. They attempt to cope with difficult lives and the harshness and sorrow of the world, with loss, exile, and pain.

In a career which spans over a decade and includes eight collaborative albums and one solo project, Azam Ali has confirmed her place as one of the most prolific, versatile, and gifted singers on the world music stage today. Her dedication to defying cultural specificity in music, and her unwillingness to settle into one form of musical expression have earned her the respect of both her peers and critics worldwide. When one looks at her entire body of work, it is hard to deny Azam her rightful place among the best singers and composers in music today.

‘Cookie Dough’ is the new album from Wildcookie, aka Freddie Cruger and Anthony Mills

Since his last release on Tru Thoughts in 2006 Freddie Cruger, aka Red Astaire, has been busy travelling the world as a DJ and releasing music on his own label, Homegrown Records – one of these releases was the debut, and now extremely rare, Wildcookie 12”. The “Drugs EP” received support from Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 1 and the lead track, “Heroine”, also features on ‘Cookie Dough’. Wildcookie is not a one man band though; each one of Freddie’s ultra-crisp productions and sophisticated synthline melodies are backed with the pitch perfect, often freestyled, vocals of Anthony Mills.

Space Invadas is a project of two well-known artists: Katalyst and Steve Spacek. Their debut project Soul Fi […]

With a lengthy loop of his classic track “The Sound” sampled without his authorization, Kevin Saunderson responds with grace.

From Kevin Saunderson:

Dear friends, fans and members of the music industry:

Today I’m giving away as a free download one of the productions I am most proud of : “The Sound” – Reese & Santonio (KMS) 1987

I recorded “The Sound” back in 1987 and released it on my own KMS Records label. It was a massive hit at New York’s Paradise Garage and in Chicago and of course Detroit. Once it hit the UK it became one of the earliest Detroit anthems right acround Europe, a huge underground record across the globe – a true desert island techno track. It is such a special record to me because it was one of my first really successful productions and I hope that you all will enjoy this free, fresh digital download of my original 1987 version.The reason I have decided to give this track away for free is because of a situation that recently developed involving the unauthorized sampling of “The Sound” by Italian producers Giacomo Godi & Emiliano Nencioni (Supernova) in their release “Beat Me Back” on Nirvana Recordings. It came to my attention that they are licensing and selling, with considerable success, this track which is nothing more than a continuous loop of the main hook from “The Sound.”

The “Caliventura EP”, out on March 15th , features remixes by Cut Chemist, J Boogie, Jeremy Sole, Daedelus and DJ Day

The “Caliventura EP”, out on March 15th , sees US based producers
Cut Chemist, J Boogie, Jeremy Sole, Daedelus and DJ Day giving
the remix treatment to a handful of tracks from Quantic and His
Combo Bárbaro’s immensely acclaimed ‘Tradition In Transition’
album. The EP also features an alternative, previously unreleased
version of the album track, “Albela”.

This essential EP comes in a full color picture sleeve featuring a
photograph taken in Colombia by the celebrated LA-based
photographer B+ (Mochilla), who has become a key contributor to the
Quantic aesthetic in recent years, and whose critically acclaimed body
of work includes the famous shot for DJ Shadow’s ‘Endtroducing’.
Inside the beautiful sleeve, you’ll also find an exclusive download card
with all five vinyl tracks available on mp3, plus five bonus goodies.
‘Tradition In Transition’, released in Summer 2009, was the inaugural
LP from the newly created Combo Bárbaro, a band of unsurpassed
international talent formed by Will ‘Quantic’ Holland to bring life to his
new musical vision. Heralding more of a progression in sound than an
outright change of direction, with his Combo Bárbaro, Quantic (who
had already released more than ten albums and sold in excess of
100,000 records) set about mining the lesser-tapped musical sources
from the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa and fusing those
rediscovered psychedelic, experimental and rhythmically rich sounds of
the past with deep funk and soul elements and folkloric vocal styles.
The album release immediately garnered a huge amount of acclaim, with
positive reviews and features appearing in magazines across the genres
and around the world, including Q, Mojo, The Independent, XLR8R,
Notion, iDJ, Songlines, DJ Mag and more. The band have toured the
UK, US and Europe to rapturous responses, delivering a scintillating live
display, and Summer 2010 saw them perform at Glastonbury festival,
featuring on BBC TV’s main coverage of the festival. Quantic also
appeared on radio shows including KCRW, NPR, Nemone (BBC
6Music) and the 6Mix, with live band sessions for Craig Charles (BBC
6Music), Mark Lamarr (BBC Radio 2) and Gilles Peterson (BBC
Radio 1). In this period, the ever-prolific producer also revealed the
second album from his dub-reggae influenced Flowering Inferno
moniker, the highly praised ‘Dog With A Rope’, which came out in July
2010.

MIAMI BASED Mr. Pauer DEBUTS HIS ALBUM OF “ELECTROPICAL” BEATS FROM CUMBIA TO ELECTRO, DUB TO FUNK, INTO ONE COHESIVE SIGNATURE SOUND

[soundcloud width=”100%” height=”225″ params=”g=1″ url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/129396″]Mr. Pauer – Soundtrack – Release date: February 15, 2011 by Mr Pauer

Mr. Pauer (Toto Gonzalez) is a globetrotting DJ/Producer and remixer born in the Caribbean city of Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela, who is now based in the sunshine funk of Miami, FL. Ever since Mr. Pauer moved to Miami over 18 years ago, he has helped the city develop a burgeoning scene of international music through his long-running DJ residencies, and the Fabrika brand (http://www.fabrikalink.com).

Mr. Pauer’s musical influences are as diverse as rock, electro, new wave, house, tropical and cumbia, which runs the gamut; creating a dynamic musical explosion in his production and live sets. His debut release, Soundtrack (out February 15th) is a collection of songs that are loosely defined as “Electropical” beats. The production value is aimed at inviting you to dance, despite cultural backgrounds; very typical of his

DJ sets and crowds. “Living back in Venezuela I grew up listening to Anglo and Spanish rock, my mother used to listen to boleros, my dad to traditional Venezuelan music, my older brothers to American 80’s pop, and to socialize I had to learn how to dance salsa and merengue. Magically after years, I connected dots unconsciously creating an array of sounds that identify with the culture I grew up with,” says Mr. Pauer. There’s no wonder that the Miami New Times called him, “…perhaps the most international of all Miami DJs.”
