It’s been a while since I checked in with Casher No.9. The Belfast band have only gone and signed with Bella Union, made an album produced by David Holmes and will release that album To The Death Of Fun, on June 17th in Ireland (20th in UK and Europe). ‘Lost At Sea’ and previous single [...]
Mayer Hawthorne provides the soulful colour on SebastiAn’s new electro funk song ‘Love In Motion’. You wouldn’t know it was Mayer otherwise. Still nice Prince-esque workout. The track features on SebastiAn’s upcoming Ed Banger album Total which is out at the end of May and features a guest appearance from M.I.A too. This sounds like [...]
Recorded just last week in Austin’s 5th Street Studio, ‘Jay Time’ is “a vaguely funky vamp” and a cover of ’70s English band Hard Stuff. White Denim hope that you do three things because of it. 1.

Rave till your grave you’re on Youtube. In 1992 I left mining to become a full time DJ. Apart from my producing I also ran one of Europe’s top nightclubs The BYO (Bring your own drink). It didn’t have a drinks license so along with rave culture there was other ways to have a good [...]
A new track from Nina Hynes available for download from Bandcamp. Nina will be launching a FundIt campaign for her forthcoming album soon. More details as they’re available.
Mark Ronson is on production duties for Black Lips‘ upcoming sixth album Arabia Mountain (Lockett Pundt of Deerhunter does two tracks).
