04.28.07Saturdays Are For Emails: Chico Correa & Electronic Band’s World ViewI try to go thru my emails with a fine-toothed comb when time permits, and Saturday is frequently my best opportunity. How pleased I was to receive an email from Brazilian artist Chico Correa which contained a link to his self-titled album, released by Japanese net label Bump Foot. I will confess: when I read his name, my mind went where yours just did -- boy, that name...it seems so...familiar! The sound, however, was anything but familiar to me. What I got to hear was a mixture of very stripped down ambient electronic music a la ...

04.27.07No Matter What I Came Here To Do, A-Trak and Chromeo Came Here To Say…One of the big highlights of CMJ last fall was Vice Late Nights @ Cakeshop. Somehow, 250 people managed to fit into a room that comfortably holds 60 maximum for a series of knock-down drag-out sessions that smacked up every fool that set foot into the place. Calling the experience "amazing" or "breathtaking" or "dope", that's just not enough. Anyways, the point is that one particular night stands out among the rest -- Flosstradamus, Kid Sister, Chromeo and A-Trak blew the fucking house apart. Tonight, A-Trak (known to much of the world as "the only DJ with mad ...

04.26.07Loudersoft Loves Polyrock: The First Two Polyrock Albums Finally Get Their Long-Overdue Reissue.Anyone who has been following this blog or who followed me over from Scenstars knows that I'ma big proponent of the band Polyrock. Consistently hailing them as one of the great lost bands of the post-punk/new wave era, this writer has always felt very strongly that their two albums produced by, and featuring, Philip Glass and Kurt Munkacsi provided a clear foundation and paved the way for a number of name artists today. They were dangerous, seductively fascinating, and completely inventive in their ways. The big crime that was committed with Polyrock was in how their records ...

04.25.07Boot Knocking & Body Rocking: CSS Remixed by Diplo, The Pase Rock, Kid Sister, Three 6 Mafia Remixed by CutsoWhat the hell was I supposed to do? Representing from all corners of the internet, I came across a grip of scrum-dilly tracks the last few days while I was out on patrol. I can't sit on this stuff, they are just too tasty to hang on to and not hip you to them. First off, let's talk about Cansei de Ser Sexy aka CSS. Over at Pound for Pound, they hit me up with *three* different remixes of "Let's Make Love and Listen To Death From Above" from Spank Rock, Simian Mobile Disco, and this bumping-assed ...
