Pogo X Disney Classic


Pogo is an amazing and distinct Australian musician who composes songs from sounds sampled from Disney movies like Marry Poppins, The Sword In The Stone, Harry Potter and Alice In Wonderland.

This young guy has pushed the boundaries by creating unimaginable and magical electronic tracks by adding Disney movies script as vocals, which makes each track a very different tunes, a mixture of sounds such as Techno, Drum and Bass and Electronic can be heard on Pogo’s magical music.

Last but not least the video’s editing is very cool and is cut up from original Disney films. So, this is a quite different music preference and i think it is good to start our new year with something off the hook!

The Knife - Tomorrow, In a Year


The Knife introduces their astonishing most current track “Colouring of Pigeons” from their upcoming album “Tomorrow, In a Year”. This new track is also in collaboration project with Mt Sims and Planningtorock , not just simply to produces music but they would be writing an opera for Hotel Pro Forma, the Danish performance group with the same titled as The Knife’s new album “Tomorrow In a Year” and it will be based on “Charles Darwin’s On the Orgin of Species”.

I believe this is their first sounds ever combining electronic music with operatic composition, “Colouring of Pigeons” its beautiful dramatic 11 minutes length of track with a mixture of Karin Dreijer Andersson and operatic vocal as well as sophisticated experimental music arrangement, also attached with our local Balinese Gamelan which is made quite danceable in this track. The Knife new album “Tomorrow, In A Year” will be release this March for studio version and this February for Digital version, and definitely will looking forward “Tomorrow, In A Year” opera version.

SebastiAn - Threnody


Whoa! it’s just the beginning of new year, more and more great new tracks are coming. it’s been quite a while since we heard SebastiAn’s last single “Dog” from the Ed Banger Records Vol. 3 and right now my favorite Ed Banger crew is back with his new track “Threnody“.

This new track’s kinda sick because it is 13 minutes length with the first 10 minutes being intro, it’s ridiculously long until the drop comes and you all can decide how massive it is!

Hot City


Here’s a couple of gifted London Dj/Producers known as Hot City. The emerging duo who are ready to inject us with their hot hot tracks of big big techno, dubstep and electronica, with tracks such as “No More” and “If That’s How I Feel” these are definitly going to be big tunes in 2010.

Under RAMP Recordings, Hot City produce their very cool tracks as well more and more remixes with another Dj/Producer such as the Crookers and Sinden. These two anonymous Dj/Producers will be hitting up Fabric Live this month and several more gigs with Hot Chip, Sinden, etc through out this year and i bet, the massive tunes from them will bring a good chaos in the hot city like ours!

Yes it’s true; “Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans” is the new Uffie's upcoming album, that will be release on February 14th 2010, Uffie’s new album are produced by Mr. Oizo and Feadz her fellow label – comrades from Ed Banger records. Uffie’s new track ‘MC’s Can Kiss’ is out now and what makes this new album special is because she team up with Pharrell Williams for her new album single, yet the new single title is still anonymity.

It is fierce, it will strokes your heart and banging your minds, after almost four years missing that’s all what I can say, after hearing ‘MC’s Can Kiss’ it has all the elements what makes her differ, her rhymes in synthpop, electronic and rap tunes is what makes everything feels so good for Uffie’s comeback. Check out Uffie’s new track MC’s Can Kiss and get ready to Uff!!

Hot Chip - One Life Stand


“One Life Stand” is a new Hot Chip album title that will be release on February 8th 2010. These magnificent boys from London are back to studio after completed their world tour in 2009, creating Hot Chip’s fourth album and currently putting the final strokes for their upcoming album. A list of Hot Chip’s up coming 2010 tour are booked almost until middle of the year and they’re will be kicking off start from The UK and I wonder whether someone is eventually will bring them here to Indonesia.

Enuff for the daydreaming, “One Life Stand” album will be featuring singles “Take It In” taken from Hot Chip’s 2008 Ep/Singles and also “One Life Stand” track. It is sounds a bit darker here after hearing the intro of “One Life Stand” a slice of bass and synth creating some sort of explosion, but then it turns to a smooth dance beat with a glossy guitar rhythm and it means “One Life Stand” track is definitely will be up into my 2010 playlist, But Hey, why would I be so surprised cause it’s Hot chip anyway, they’re always got a way of sick mixing and creating the unpredictable tunes and I bet they’re all always ready for the floor!

Jonathan Boulet - Modular People


Another new emerging young talent from Modular people, 20 years old Sydney based, Jonathan Boulet will be launching his self title debut album this December featuring his single “A Community Service Announcement”. This Australian wunderkind has brought up a brilliant and fresh music; with his unusual way to infer Indie Pop sounds. The talented, Jonathan Boulet has done his homework well by producing almost of his debut album materials from his tiny little garage studio, before he got signed with Modular. Not much to say yet for this new emerging young talent, except the other thing I would say, if pictures are worth thousand words, Jonathan Boulet music is worth a joy.
