Chemical Beats

Due to a delay in the production of artwork for The Chemical Brothers forthcoming album "We Are The Night", the release date is now 2nd July. The first single from the album "Do It Again" is available for purchase as a digital download on 4th June, while 18th June sees the release of the track on CD, 12" and 7" single.

Of course we don't have to wait that long, because almost every new album gets leaked. Probably on purpose, just to hype it up a bit.

The new Chemical Brothers album is no exception to the rule. And it's definitely no let down. There are no club anthems on this one like "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" or "Galvanize", but it's more coherent and psychedelic.

Cut That City

If you cannot wait for the new Interpol album, be sure to check out the debut album of Cut City called "Exit Decades".

Rainin In Paradize

Manu Chao delivered us a new song "Rainin In Paradize". It's for free! The album will follow in September 2007.

Beautiful Life

Gui Boratto's "Beautiful Life" screams Ibiza! Or am I the only one hearing a summer anthem?

Only problem is the video. Kompakt released one which starts pretty boring, and doesn't match such a brilliant track.


Talented video directors, please, create a new video and throw it on YouTube like this one from Buenos Aires.

Not convinced? Listen to the complete eight minutes and thirty seconds and become a happy person.

Come Around

Will "Come Around" be this year's "Welcome To Jamrock"?



Collie Buddz is not from Jamaica, but from Bermuda. If you listen the song first and then watch the video, you're in for another big surprise.

The Party

Fields Of Joy

Swedish producer Axel Willner released his full-length debut as The Field on Kompakt: "From Here We Go Sublime". Instead of repetitive 4/4 beats, which become boring, Willner somehow put together a bunch of sounds one would never expect could go together, leading the listener into an amazing trancelike voyage. An extremely subtle minimalist masterpiece that works on the dancefloor, in your car and in your living room. Hearing is believing ...

First Class Riot
