Lost and sound

It’s rare that you see a book featured on a music blog. On the other hands it’s also quite rare to see a book on the Berlin techno scene, so I guess there are a lot of exceptions here. Tobias Rapp’s Lost and Sound – Berlin, Techno and the Easyjet Set is a vivid description [...]

Islands

I like the way the internet allows us to peek inside our favourite artists’ inspirations and influences with remarkable simplicity. Sometimes it’s obvious that we’re invited inside through Youtube interviews and lengthy online interviews, but occasionally, the clues we get are more subtle.
It’s not all that surprising that The XX have been inspired by the [...]

Julio Bashmore

If the internet hadn’t existed, Julio Bashmore would probably have made dubstep. That’s of course a major generalization, but seeing that he’s the first house producer I’ve heard emerge from the Bristol scene, I don’t think it’s all that unlikely.
So, has he listened to bass music? Definitely. Although he doesn’t fit the conventional deep [...]

Mosca

The first real music purchase I made in 2010 was Mosca’s latest EP on the Night Slugs imprint. I couldn’t be happier with it. In many ways, this was a case of many “first times” for me. I had never listened to anything from Night Slugs before, which turns out to be an almost criminal [...]

I rarely do local promotions on here because I like to keep things fairly country-neutral, but sometimes you have to make an exception. As more and more prominent and blog-worthy events and artists show up, however, I think the Copenhagen-centric perspective may even become relevant for the rest of you out there. If you can [...]

U can dance

I find pure techno intimidating. The combination of endless sequencers and heavily programmed drum loops always scared me a bit, although I can’t give a proper reason for it. Perhaps therefore, I have a strange relationship with DJ Hell. He’s obviously a legend, widely known for both his own work and his head honcho work [...]

Take control

Starting off with a unorthodox rhythm, this Naum Gabo remix somehow fits the old sculptor’s complex art brilliantly. It doesn’t last long though, and when crisp keyboards overtake the sonic ground along with vocal samples and subtly tweaked bleeps, we’ve returned to a simpler pattern.
I’ve previously featured Naum Gabo’s Black Lab, a slow, twisting, [...]

Fruit loop

I find it hard to say anything truly original about Renaissance Man. They’re releasing great track, but you probably already knew that. It’s hardly original anymore to be yet another blog on the block to laud their latest efforts to push our perception of house just a little bit. Yet I feel like I somehow [...]

George Fitzgerald

So, it’s finally time for one of the artists who will come to dominate 2010. I’m of course talking about Joy Orbison’s new protege on his Doldrums label, George Fitzgerald. He has already made some noise in Jah Pat’s recent mix and dropped some previews on Soundcloud. Now, he finally drops something you can carry [...]

Exclusive Savile mixes

Remember when I stated that finding more solid mixes was one of my new year’s resolutions for 2010? Well, Savile was nice enough to give me a helping hand in keeping up that resolution and promptly sent over some fresh mixes exclusively for Going Other Places (nice, huh?).
If his name sounds familiar it’s most likely [...]
