SOLARIUM. A film by Moses Berkson starring Lykke Li

Via Juxtapoz:

Swedish indie singer Lykke Li blends a wide range of instrumentals into her powerful, almost hypnotic music. The artist released a new short film this week, Solarium, which sees her making an artistic statement after “a major heart break and a post tour depression drove a very delusional LL out to the desert.”

Li headed out to the desert with, “Some friends and a super 8 camera,” as she describes via press release. “A major sun burn later, some shattered mirrors, I found myself, my ego, my thoughts, my expectations and my image to be a burden, hard to get rid of, if ever possible?”

The end result is a rather unusual sort of music video in black and white which takes us back to some earlier 70s experimental works. After her hit debut album in 2008, Li is reported to be back in the studio recording new material for a forthcoming album.

Cloud Nothings - Hey Cool Kid

Teengirl Fantasy - Cheaters

In the beginning, this new video for Teengirl Fantasy looks like a cheap ps-screensaver from the ninteties. But then the whole imagery turns into a thick yet filigree pixel forest. This one is able to take you somewhere...

Keegan DeWitt - Hearts Beat Aloud

Very nice

Jamaica - Short and Entertaining

With so many bands out there to listen to and discover, many are judged after the first listen, and, therefore prematurely classed as being sucky. This was the case for Jamaica. I vaguely remember listening to them, not liking them, and forgetting about them. Oh how wrong I was. "Short and entertaining" blows me away, and I now greatly regret not having checked them out at this year's Melt festival.

Diplo's Documentary: Favela on Blast - Watch Free Online

Via The Creators Project:

"Now through July 16th you can watch Diplo and Brazilian fimmaker Leandro HBL’s documentary Favela on Blast for free online. The film, which lovingly portrays the Brazilian subculture of Funk Carioca, is so full of fresh beats that we’re already waiting for the soundtrack. Founded in the slums, or favelas, of Rio de Janeiro, it covers the cross pollination of Miami bass funk with traditional and contemporary Brazilian music, and the people who do it. You can watch the first few minutes in the video below, then go here for the rest."

MP3: Painted Face - Undreamt

Formerly a member of Telepathe , Allie Alvarado has now teamed up with dance music producer Alvin Risk to pursue a solo career under the alias Painted Face, and so far it's sounding pretty good. Listen to and download her debut single "Undreamt" below.

STARKER VERKEHR meets RHYTHM IS


Bacchanalienskandal in der Kölner Südstadt! Am ersten Samstag im Juli wird in den schwülen Kellerräumen des Tsunami Clubs der Sommer offiziell begrüßt und das Aufeinandertreffen zweier DJ-Teams mit wildester Ausgelassenheit zelebriert. Es wird bunt! Es wird heiß! Es wird ausschweifend! Es riecht nach Orgie!

Das Starker Verkehr DJ-Team steht wie gewohnt für einen kompakten Hybrid aus Dub/Step, Hip Hop Classics, fluxigen Breakbeats & volatil bouncendem Baile Funk, aufgemischt mit einer griffigen Synthese aus flächendeckendem TechHouse und der sehnigen Sperrigkeit von Grime.

Eröffnet wird der heutige Abend von den RHYTHM IS-Residents Antonio Sabini, Kurtis Blowjob und XOXO. Bewaffnet mit glitzernder Diskokugel, Limbostange, Rasseln und Hawaiihemden, sowie mit einem balearisch-funkigen Set aus 80er, Italo-Disco und tropisch-obskuren Klängen weit entfernter Regionen im Gepäck, huldigen sie dem Sonnengott und heizen die Hütte schon mal vor.

Benga - Baltimore Clap

A informally chat with Pttrns

We talked to PTTRNS from Cologne about their love for cooking, chinese peasants, past careers and future plans.

CE: To start off, please tell us your names and your functions within the band PTTRNS?

Patrick: Although we go by many names, our parents call us 'Daniel', 'Benjamin' and 'Patrick'. There's also this guy 'Hienrich' somewhere in the mix. Our functions are multiform. Just last night, when making dinner, Benjamin took care of the pasta and a tofu/mushroom sauce, Patrick made a cauliflower/carrot/leek concoction and Daniel got something to drink. Things do get wild though and we mix it all up sometimes.

We are pretty well versed in many trades, say Daniel will make pasta or rice, Benjamin will throw together a salad, Hendrik will skin some grapefruits or oranges and Patrick will annoy everyone with a dancehall compilation he just downloaded. This is any given night basically. Like it says on our record: "Everyone plays everything".

CE: What do you do besides PTTRNS?

Daniel: Uh, a bunch of things I guess. Let's say we are all occupied with being lovers and friends, top-notch sportsmen, slackers, thinkers, workers and many things more. Patrick also had a career as a Malaysian cricket player once, but then this horrible accident happened....However, please note that this is a somewhat incomplete answer, since we often sleep in different rooms at night and I can only guess about the magic that's going on then.

CE: How did you guys meet?

Benjamin: You could say we kind of helped each others former bands out to to play some tunes, get some food and eben to find sleeping places. Then everything happened really quick and the three of us share the same four walls by now. It actually feels good, too!

CE: Was the direction of PTTRNS' music clear from the start?

Patrick: We've obviously undergone a great deal of development since we started to play music together. We feel that this is due to the fact that the way we play music together has become more spontaneous and 'organic', without intending to mean anything more than what is possible between a couple of guys living in 2010's capitalism.

We formed Shellac in 1992 and at some point just felt that we needed a change. When we changed the name to 'PTTRNS' last year, it was the result of becoming more interested in different forms of sonic exploration and of course the desire to have a clean break, start things over with the music industry.

















CE: Where do you draw your inspiration from, and what are your greatest musical influences?

Daniel: Could any band ever answer that truthfully without building a myth around their music? I personally do not reflect on where some random bass line I just contributed to a jam comes from, although it has a lot to do with 'intermusicality'. You can surely find some references in what we are doing, but basically you won't find us rehearsing and celebrating a beat that is resembling Pink Floyd's first demo.

CE: You guys love rattles, don't you?

Benjamin: Well, the reason for our passion concerning rattles is based on the simple fact that Patrick, Daniel and I started a Samba-Dance-Studio back in 1999. While already giving lessons there for some years, Daniel got in touch with serious down-to-the-street hip-hop music and immediately fell in love with the way these guys did dance.

He left the Studio, learned some serious hip-hop moves and started to teach some kids on the street how to assemble special moves. Oh shit, dog! Rattles were an integral part of our work and since Daniel also felt like bringing rattles into hip-hop music (which didn't work) and Patrick and I had a hard time finding students, we decided to quit our work and went on to form PTTRNS. Basically, we want people to participate in our music.

CE: About 3/4 through your live act an exchange in instruments takes place. Are you all multi-instrumentalists?

Patrick: Few people know that we are actually all classically trained trumpet players. After a really crazy night on tour in the south of Bulgaria ten years ago, involving several hundred liters of Coca Cola, a Mazda convertible and a live jaguar, things changed. These days we keep it pretty civilized. We switch it up to keep it fresh; the way it feels right to us. If you watch really closely (don't), you'll see that we are not all equally virtuous on whatever we play - but that's not really something that matters to us.

















CE: Why the name PTTRNS, and why without vowels?

Daniel: PTTRNS was a revolutionary group of peasants in China during the late 1930s who, through various nonviolent means, espoused increased power for peasants and independence from the wealthy landowning class. No, wait. It's nothing like that. We just found it aesthetically appealing.

CE: So what does the future hold for PTTRNS?

Benjamin: We will try to play Rock am Ring in 2011 since they didn't want us this year...as well as the last three years. So, we're on it. Furthermore, we're planning a project concerning future releases. Sorry but we can't go into details here.

Civil Civic heute Abend im Tsunami

Nach Ted Leo zuletzt nun wieder ein extrem kurzfristiges Highlight im Tsunami Club!

CIVIL CIVIC sind ein Duo zweier Australier aus London bzw. Barcelona und haben soeben ihre Debüt-Single veröffentlicht. Melodische, warme Basslinien, progressive Post-Punk-Gitarren, gelegentliche Synths und simple, aber effektive Beats aus dem Drumcomputer sorgen für einen Sound der überhaupt nicht mechanisch klingt, sondern eher an alte Post-Punk, New Wave-Bands à la WIPERS etc. erinnert.

Absoluter GEHEIMTIPP! In diversen Blogs und der englischen Presse (siehe weiter unten) wird die Band schon abgefeiert.

ACHTUNG: CIVIL CIVIC sind kurzfristig zum LUNGS Konzert dazugekommen und werden daher wohl als erstes spielen, also pünktlich da sein!!!

Beginn: 21 Uhr

It doesn´t make sense to put him in a musical range, but if you need a drawer you can use Deep House.
