December 16, 2009 – 8:52 am
What more has to be said about Warp? What more even can? Everyone who has picked up a reputable music publication over the last few weeks or months is guaranteed to have stumbled over at least one article about this unstoppable juggernaut of the electronic, or let’s say progressive, music universe.
Twenty years of business and [...]
My Name is Claude @ L.U.X. 03.12.09
December 10, 2009 – 11:02 am
Montreal is home to a great many fantastic musicians. A-Trak, Chromeo, Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire, AIDS Wolf, you name it. Yes, Celine Dion calls it home, too, but let’s not talk about that and I think that Canada deprived her of her citizenship last year anyways. It just seems as if this city was the [...]
Review: And Then You Really Get Into It @ Freies Museum Berlin
November 16, 2009 – 11:10 am
Clemens Wilhelm’s art really does come a long way. Especially his newest photo-installations Der Weg nach Venedig (The Road to Venice) and The Meaning of Life. For the first installation the artist hiked all the way from Munich to the Venice Biennale, taking a photo every 15 minutes for the whole of his journey. Thus he [...]

When talking about the L.A. avant-experimental electronic music scene at the moment, you could easily drop names until you get blue in the face and you still wouldn’t have made your way half way across that huge list of intense artists, DJs and musicians that are rocking every sound system from the West Coast to [...]

That’s why label boss Dusty, a much sought after DJ in [...]
Breakfast at Sulimay’s
September 19, 2009 – 3:37 am
When you’re 15, you’re usually into one kind of music, exclusively – be it punk or hip hop or techno or zydeco. Somebody else likes another style of music? He or she is wrong and dumb and boring and mainstream. When you’re 18 and you look back at what you listened to three years earlier [...]

September 14, 2009 – 3:09 am
Tired of your regular poetry slam? Everybody’s performances are brilliant? Not getting a chance to heckle the artists because they were just doing too good? Then Paula Varjack’s Anti Slam is what you need. See slammers breaking out their worst rhymes, telling jokes that have been forgotten for centuries, dancing terribly, wearing pathetic costumes and [...]
Motherfucking David Deery – Mate Bitch!
September 5, 2009 – 4:03 am
David Deery had a difficult upbringing. His mom was cheap. She wouldn’t take him to Niketown. Instead she would take him to a place that might just as well be called Shittown. In Shittown they didn’t have Air-Jordans. They didn’t even have Ponys. Maybe some Phonys, but that was about it. Hey, hold on. That [...]
