In A Parallel Universe


Canadian Cam Findlay started Parallels as a solo project, when not live drumming for Crystal Castles (who I can't get enough of) he was working on his own tracks. Thank God he did because the Parallels soundscapes are some of the most original I’ve heard, synths and melodies that weren’t crafted on this planet, driven by fierce arpeggios that sound like they were made in the astronauts seat at the moment of lift off.



Later on Cam got support from, I guess you could call it the missing link. Canadian female vocalist Holly Dodson. And with that, the Parallels we hear right here, today, was born. It was already good solo, but Holly made Parallels whole, with the addition of Joey Kehoe working the synthesizers.

The Parallels first 12″ EP Ultalight was released May 11th on Thisisnotanexit Records out of the UK.

Barcelona Boogie Bass



The great people at Discobelle are promoting the chaos that's about to go down at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona by giving away 2 pairs of tickets to faithful followers who might be in the city for the extravaganza (check their post for more info on that).

The city will be invaded by thousands of sun craving, alcohol/substance fueled yet surprisingly calm and friendly dance tourists from all over the world. Spanish boogie bass crew Plat Du Jour will host a spectacular off-Sonar night at Club Mondo this thursday (the 18th).

To further promote the night, here’s a funky and bass filled mix (if you start a mix with a Joker track, then we know that it’s a winner) that Plat Du Jour member K**O (you might remember his “Espanish Boogie Mixtape”) did for Fact Magazine.

“In Barcelona the sun is shining, the beach is combed and the sexy beers are on ice… We’ve spent the winter months plotting and planning and we’re all set for the summer takeover. For those of you who haven’t already heard, this year Plat du Jour are hosting another essential off-Sonar party with a line-up so long you might not get in!

Sooo… Flying Lotus is hosting room one with ALL of his friends. His line-up is heavily under wraps. But trust us, whoever you’re thinking of (if they’re not dead or banned from Spain) is probably there.

In room two we are holding our own. Plat du Jour is playing host and the line-up is heavy heavy… Jackmaster, Mumdance, Oneman & Brackles lead the charge and it aint just Brainfeeder with a few surprises. These crews roll deep.

Austrian electro outfit A.G. Trio released their mega hit "Electro Messiah" as you should know from all the hype...

"As a "thank you" to first extremely positive reactions and a little teaser for all who did not experience their music by now, A.G.Trio decided to give away the release "Electro Messiah" for free. "Electro Messiah" is one of the latest additions to the Trio´s live-set and brings the ironic approach in their music to a climax. The sophisticated and pumpin` backtrack is worth to give it a second listen - as the club version (nearly) without vocals" A.G. Trio

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A.G. TRIO ALL YOU FUNKERS!
