TEST PRESSING: Apache Beat Finally Ready a Proper Follow-up Single to “Tropics”
September 10, 2009
When we first met Apache Beat singer Ilirjana Alushaj–in her native Australia at the tail end of 2008–she said the Brooklyn band’s proper debut (Last Chants, featuring members of the Rapture, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Chairlift and Lightspeed Champion) was set to hit stores this past spring. Then we did a proper interview with her six […]

But you know what? Screw it. Standing dead center in the photo pit for the tidal wave intro of the band’s 90-minute set–a much more aggressive affair […]
TEST PRESSING: Dabble in Dubstep, Ambient Techno and Snoop Dogg with New DJ Mixes From Kode9, The Black Dog, and Vladislav Delay
September 8, 2009
If you’re like us, you probably don’t want to think too hard now that it’s Tuesday and summer’s officially over. Especially not about music. That’s why we gathered three very different DJ mixes from around the ‘net–one for every mood, really, from the soothing ambient soundscapes of the Black Dog to a surprising Vladislav Delay […]
1MM: Battles and !!! Premier New Material At Terminal 5/Warp’s 20th Anniversary Party
September 7, 2009
Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer Photos by Andrew Parks We’ve seen Battles and !!! a bunch of times; enough to know when they’re both having an off night–a night like Friday, which was spent celebrating Warp’s 20th anniversary and songs that were clearly still-in-their-demo-stages. That said, !!! frontman Nic Offer retained his title as […]
I WAS THERE: Jamie Lidell Switches to Mad Scientist Mode At Le Poisson Rouge’s Warp Anniversary Party, His First Solo Show In Forever
September 6, 2009
Words and photos by Andrew Parks Pure camp. That’s the path Jamie Lidell embraced last year–intentional or not–as he turned the robust R&B tracks of Jim into his very own Saturday Night at the Apollo. It was as if Lidell heard the criticisms of his blue-eyed soul side and decided to drop Multiply‘s diabolical “Dock […]

September 5, 2009
As we said in a post earlier today, Flying Lotus was on fire last night, delivering one of the finest laptop-based performances we’ve seen in forever. For those of you who weren’t there, we hunted down a pair of stellar DJ mixes–one from Sonar, and one from the BBC’s popular “Essential” series–and a slew of […]

MICROWAVE ONLY: Trapped in a Brooklyn Basement With Titus Andronicus, the Smith Westerns and the So So Glos
September 5, 2009
Photos by Turkishomework Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. Here the photographer catches Titus Andronicus (aka our absolute favorite live band at the moment–Patrick, more songs about Abe Lincoln, please) along with the Smith Westerns and the So So Glos at Brooklyn’s Monster Island Basement.
