Dethklok, the fictional death metal band from the Adult Swim cartoon series Metalocalypse, is back with their second album of mayhem, following up their Dethalbum from 2007.
Naturally, Dethklok has a new video and it simply rules!
been investigating in the "demo scene" for quite some time now, this song totally rocks my socks off. It's trippy-chippy dance character makes it unable to sit still and is uplifting as fuck! Holy shiiiit! I'm trippin'... SPACEBALLS - 1992 styles!
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the demoscene:
The demoscene is a computer art subculture that specializes in producing demos, which are non-interactive audio-visual presentations that run in real-time on a computer. The main goal of a demo is to show off programming, artistic, and musical skills. The demoscene first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, and came to prominence during the rise of the 16/32-bit home computers (the Amiga and the Atari ST). In the early years, demos had a strong connection with software cracking. When a cracked program was started, the cracker or his team would take credit with a graphical introduction called a "crack intro" (shortened cracktro). Later, the making of intros and standalone demos evolved into a new subculture independent of the software (piracy) scene.
As secretive as Discoballistic might be, not many to none of you knew about the unexpected live show Disco played in Boston last September. We got an exclusive 8 minute live piece of Discoballistic's dreamscape electro, which sounds like a revived Miami Vice cokedealer trying to stay fly 'till death!
But wait, there's more! Following are a few unreleased remixes by Discoballistic.
First up we have the Visitor remix from their debut hit single "Los feeling". So far we seen great remixes by Bit Funk, Digitalfoxglove, Fear Of Tigers, and many more..., but this one hasn't seen the light of day yet. So, why don't you find out for yourself and hear the twist Discoballistic has givin to this awesome tune.
Last but not least is a total night rider. A remix Discoballistic has done for the Flashmen from NY/Chicago, from their single "As The Night Rolls On". This track takes it awfully easy breezy and kinda explodes into some killer guitarisc roadrage!
On our recent visit to the lovely city of Portland, we ran into some local street-beat culture down Alberta street. Basicly every thursday there is a street fair of people showcasing, selling, hustling, cookin, drinkin,... all in good spirits!
So, upon walking down Alberta we ran into a set of Spinnaface, a 'masked' dj/entity entaining the block week in and out. He had the whole block dancin and celebrating while performing some amazing vocoder electro-house while wearing a 'spinna' for a face!
Check out "On The Floor" from his album "Feel The Shine"
and here's Spinnaface throwin it down, big rim styles!
After his 2008 release of Japan Covers, Andrew W.K. is back with yet another brand new Japanese release! This time it's an entire album of Gundam Covers. Needles to say it's a brilliant remake and shows, yet again, the great marriage between the AWK sound and his interpretations of Japanese culture.
This release marks the celebration of 30 years of Gundam and is a great way of reviving those original anime cartoons and it's soundtrack. This album is making the songs even more powerful, translating them to English and rocking out like the very best!
You can order the album through paypal, straight in JAPAN as it's only been released there. But this is the internet, the medium, so go grab it right HERE
After what seems like a relativly long time, Playmaker is back on the right side of the tracks, bringing you a new video by the ever amazing The Sound Of Arrows from Sweden!
To be more specific: We're just blown away by the awesome remix the mighty Fear Of Tigers of London did for this track and we're happy to share this fluffy cloud of pop electro dream waves, with you!
These tracks are neither typical “remixes” nor conventional cover versions in any sense, instead these tracks take excerpts and motifs of Grace Jones songs as an inspiration for something completely new, produced from scratch, but true to the spirit of Grace Jones' work. The three driving club tracks about Love and Pain "Slave", "Devil", and "Suffer" will get your body moving while the three abstract and jazzy plunderphonic interludes ("Sequel 1, 2, 3") give you a chance to recover.
Released in 1982, this roland heavy album by Charanjit Singh's SYNTHESIZING features '10 ragas to a disco beat', complete with slammin' 303 acid lines, 808 beats and of course, crazy indian styled melodies played live on analogue synths and shit.
It would be all too easy to regard this as a gimmick of an album, if it weren't for the fact the music is actually really fucken awesome.
The music is the perfect combination of being a. ahead of it's time and b. impossible to find, which makes it the perfect candidate for a real nice healthy reissue. It totally deserves it.
Do check it out, it sounds absolutely unique and ahead of it's time, giving you one hell of a trippin freestyle ride!

The musical genius that is Si Begg has done it again!
This E.P. Is free. Yes that's right, free. (You can buy the limited edition "hand-made in Hackney" box set, but that's not compulsory) All tracks are yours to download and distribute as you see fit. You can copy them, burn them on a CD, blog them, host them yourself, give them to your mum, whatever you want. Music in the public domain. Or put another way: Make. Upload. Share. Inspire. Crisps.
Major labels and the bodies that represent them, such as the BPI in the UK and the RIAA in the USA would have us believe that sharing music is destroying music and the musicians that create it. We contend that the truth is, this cartel of major record companies, distributors and publishers have been systematically fucking musicians and the people that love and buy music for about 50 years. Creating, amongst other things, huge profits for shareholders, a rigorous, brutally industrialised method of music production, Hannah Montana and an inherently average, uninspiring, mainstream music scene. This traditional industry model is so close to death that we dare not entertain it here. Instead we leave it up to you to help determine how far this E.P. travels.
