DJ 3000 - Migration

Franki Juncaj presents Detroit inspired techno with some typical synthies and strings, but basically he indulges in oriental melodies, percussions and vocals. The receptivity of Migration is short-lived. The mixture of worl music elements and techno is quickly exhausted and turns out to get mon...

Peaches – Impeach My Bush

Impeach President Bush or impeach women’s bushes or impeach Peaches bush alone? Ah, the good lady has only been back a few minutes and already she has us in a flurry. Yes, Peaches is back with album number three, and from the outset she doesn’t disappoint. The hysterical lyrics go “I’d rather f...

Dabrye - Two/Three

Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye aka James T. Cotton etc. has created his own world of unique sounds from hip hop to acid techno to abstract electronics. Definitely because of his many aliases, his hip hop is so IDM-touched and sounds so electronic and technoid. One talks about the avantgarde of a new...

The Cuban Brothers - A To Z

This is a comedy piece of musical entertainment. Miguel Mantovani, head of the Cuban Brothers, presents his favourite songs from the last 5 decades choosing one artist for each letter in the alphabet. If you think that’s a crazy idea, then you get the gist of what they're about. While the first...

Soffy O - The Beauty Of It

Soffy O has made a seriously impressive entrance with her debut album. Her voice has something feline in it that instantly makes you stop and think. “Let Me Care” is an impeccable pop tune all about those guys that won’t let you near them, she also sings on ‘Push Me’ – “When I’m up you are ther...

The Futureheads

The Futureheads really seem to float in a space out of time. Listening closely you may spot tiny bits of bands like the Police or even the Beach Boys. Sounding modern and traditional at once it’s quite interesting to just listen to their eclectic arrangements. They have nice rocking riffs and g...

Alexander Kowalski - Changes

Alexander Kowalski is back and presents an album that has true hit potential, not only for those catchy melodies, but also for the significant collaborations with artists such as Joris Voorn, Funk D’Void or Khan, etc. Changes is a very melodic and somehow Balearic techno album. For its consensu...

Lotterboys

Animalia is the debut album from a new musical collaboration between Fetisch, Shapemod (both Terranova) and Mack Goudy Jr. (Detroit Grand Pubahs). It is like a high-speed marathon through the sphere of punk funk, disco, indie rock infiltrated by the many shades of electronic music. Animalia is...

Café Solo selected by Josè Padilla

Considering the enormity of the chill-out market it’s hard to imagine that if you looked all the way back to the beginning you would be able to pin the whole thing on one man and one club, but that is the case. Jose Padilla, the man who gave Café Del Mar it’s name, was and still is the master o...

Moloko

It must be a fine thing to have a back-catalogue as beautiful as Moloko’s. Essentially this is a ’greatest hits’ and so collects some of the finest moments from their four wacky, inspirational and downright dancey studio albums. Festival favourites Sing It Back, The Time Is Now and Forever More...

Señor Coconut - Yellow Fever!

Yellow Fever! is Señor Coconut’s third album and is said to be his most complex work. Originally working with samplers and computers he has now upgraded to a full sized big band and takes his concepts to another level. While on his last album he created the electro-latino style covering tracks...
