Tayo's new track

Kiev welcomes the mighty LCD Soundsystem

Well not quite. James Murphy of LCD Soundsytem is doing a DJ set at Kiev's 'Qievdance' event this Saturday. I'm so excited. Their own music and remixes have restructured dance music. And if their Fabriclive album is anything to go by, Mahoney will absolutely smash up Kiev's left bank with big beat disco house. Can't wait :)

The new Oasis album...

...'Dig Out Your Soul', is not that good. In my humble opinion. I think Radiohead are much better but people say that's like comparing chalk and cheese. See what you think.

The Tropicalia Movement - Brazil 1968

The rise of the musical style known as Tropicalia began in the early 1960s as young Brazillian artists and musicians, tired of the classic bossa nova, began experimenting with new sounds that reflected the cultural changes they saw everywhere around them (psychedelic drugs, free love, anti-war)

The rise of a military dictatorship in 1964 served as a clarion call for Brazilian artists to band together and subvert the government's powers, using culture as their weapon. Pioneered by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, Tropicalismo emerged as an attempt to assimilate musical styles and achieve a compromise between national and international influences.To that end, Gil and Veloso combined strains of blues, rock, psychedelia, folk and jazz with Latin American genres bossa nova and samba, and dubbed the hybrid a "universal sound," which they debuted at a 1967 televised music festival. The music moved Brazil into the forefront of pop avant-garde.

Key Tropicalia Artists:

Gilberto Gil - once imprisoned and exiled by the Brazilian government for his music, Gil is now Brazil's Minister of Culture! Made a great 1968 album with Os Mutantes, a Brazilian psychedelic rock band. This album also features Caetano Veloso and is considered to be a manifesto of the Tropicalia movement.

Caetano Veloso - author of the original Tropicalia album is known as the Brazillian Bob Dylan. Still making music 40 years after the seminal Tropicalia.

LTJ Bukem comes to Ukraine!

LTJ Bukem, no less. A true pioneer and original. His brand of drum 'n' bass is atmospheric, mind-expanding like the best jazz, and absolutely addictive. And when he teams up with MC Conrad, he smashes it up :)

Journey Inwards - violins, jazz sounds, drums and bass.

Zen Connection - remarkable collaboration with Gotan Project

Logical Progression (feat. MC Conrad) - jump up and dance. Unbelievable.

Mercury Prize 2008: Adele, a sober Amy WInehouse

Adele's album 19 - coz she's only 19 - was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. She could have one - her album is a lovely collection of real songs. Cross between Amy Winehouse and Beth Orton, this is brilliant British acoustic soul...
