After being previously enchanted by Rubicks releases of 'Is This Love?' and 'Giddy Up' way back in 2010 which both ruffled our feathers with crunchy beats, distorted, emotionally charged, husky female vocals and infectious beats, here comes their sophomore album, "The Rise Of The Giddy" which incidentally includes those two...

Hudson Mohawke’s second EP for Warp, and his first new material for the esteemed electro label following 2009’s debut LP Butter, is a five-tracker that leaves the listener immediately keen for more. There was something about Butter that didn’t quite stick â€" it was a (suitably, perhaps) slippery...

Electronica music is always bound to go down well at a festival; it's danceable, atmospheric and energetic; the perfect way to keep spirits high and leave the crowds buzzing. Few are better in this field than Canadian Daniel Victor Snaith, with many musical monikers and projects under his belt, but...

Sunday evening and finally an arena completely packed out as it should be. The fans had coming flocking to see Derwin Panda, who with a name like that could only be a musician - better known as Gold Panda.

I, among everyone else there by the looks of things, found myself...

I bought this album a while back on a whim.  I previewed about ten seconds from each track and was convinced it was a work of art worth having.  Then it stayed in a folder on my desktop for months--collecting binary dust.  I never got around to it.  Just goes...

Any release bearing the Brainfeeder brand can be assumed to be a quality slice of contemporary electronica â€" the imprint, ruled by jazz-glitch-hop mastermind Flying Lotus, has a near-faultless track record to date. But TOKiMONSTA might be the most arresting talent yet to surface through the stable’s superb selections...

If there were ever two bands that had nothing in common, they were AC/DC and The Beatles. That is, until now. Australian-born rockers Jet jump so frenetically between their two and seemingly only influences, that you never know exactly what you're going to get. Well, that's not entirely true. You...

Despite us critics continually trying to place them into ill-fitting boxes, the very best ‘dance’ artists thrive on never letting the listener get a proper handle on them â€" on what to expect, and where a record is going once it’s begun. This is true of Barry Lynn, aka Boxcutter...

Daedelus, aka Alfred Darlington, says of the title of this new collection, the Ninja Tune follow-up to 2008’s awesomely upbeat Love to Make Music To: "I not only intended it as a reflection of the LP itself, but also an outlook on life". Deep, dude. But one can put Darlington’s...

It’s common practice in electronic music to record under myriad aliases; the likes of Aphex Twin, Carl Craig and Tom Middleton all boasting more disguises than the MI6 dressing-up box. The reasoning being less about making the trainspotters put the work in; more to prevent records being pigeonholed before...
