LOCAL NATIVES - GORILLA MANOR
To say that Local Natives are this year's Fleet Foxes isn't wrong, but not that right either. Local Natives are softer, brighter and lighter than their widely critiqued sort-of-counterparts. Gorilla Manor is a delicious debut that should be listened and loved for its own merits and there are 12 of them here; from the beautiful single 'Airplanes' to the epic journey of 'Stranger Things'. For fans of harmonic vocals, delicate guitars and gorgeous layers (and I bet there'll be a lot of you).
FAJ
You know about FAJ right? That's Fanny and Jessy as they are also known, and this duo have one of the coolest young labels coming straight out of London. They debuted their first range last year entitled 'I Hope You Die Soon' and they're also responsible for the infamous tee of the same name (and it's sibling, 'Suck It You Fuck') which I actually often find gets quite a warm reaction despite it's sentiment. This month they're showing their hotly anticipated sophomore collection for AW 2010 which no doubt will be full of their trademark wicked humor and edge. Definitely ones to watch.
LOST

Honestly, who isn’t? The sixth and final season of Lost, one of the best series ever created, just started and we are sure spending more time talking, reading and thinking about it than watching it. Well, from what we read some mysteries won’t be answered (the real meaning of the numbers, anyone?), but if there's something we've learned from accompanying Locke’s island friends (and enemies) is that the travel is always more enjoyable than the actual place it’s taking you to. Well, not if the smoke monster is trying to kill you.

Slow Blow
The latest station on the Drunky Town train line is in Sydney, Australia at a little club in the Spanish Quarter (actually it's just two Spanish shops next to each other on the same street or something like that in the CBD) called GoodGod, which plays host to soirée of the moment, Slow Blow. Word has it that in January, Karen O crashed Sydney's current cool kids party, but to be honest by that time everyone was too busy dancing and cutting loose in D-Town to care. And that's the true mark of a good time - when you find yourself twirling about without a care in the world. Or it could just mean you're trashed. Heh.
David Mitchell
You know those films where there are all these supposedly 'intertwined' stories and lives? Quite a cliché concept for both books and movies I suppose, but rarely does it really resonate in either medium. David Mitchell though (not the Peep Show one) manages to spin tales into tightly woven rugs that are quite fantastical yet believable, moving without being overly sentimental, eclectic and incredibly entertaining. He also writes straight narratives too, with just as much panache and verve. I just (re)read Number9Dream though any and all of David Mitchell's books are highly recommended...and he's got a newie coming out this year. EXCITEMENT.

IM//A\\PARTY apresenta THE GOLDEN FILTER @ CLASH

flyer-goldenfinger

 

Após trazer com exclusividade ao Brasil a cantora pop francesa Yelle e a dupla de synthpop australiana Bag Raiders, a festa IM//A\\PARTY firma parceria com o Clash, um dos melhores clubes do mundo, segundo a revista inglesa DJ Mag, e aposta no electro disco da dupla nova-iorquina The Golden Fliter.

A dupla que surgiu como projeto secreto no final de 2008, alcançou sucesso rápido com seu single de estréia "Solid Gold" que os projetou às passarelas dos principais desfiles do mundo - incluindo os brasileiros São Paulo Fashion Week e Casa dos Criadores, onde foi alçada a música oficial do evento - e aos principais clubes. Tamanha exposição acabou levando a dupla a assinar com o selo francês Kitsuné, onde lançaram a faixa "Favorite Things" dentro da celebrada compilação Maison Kitsuné 7, ao lado de nomes como La Roux, Phoenix e Heartsrevolution.

Após chamar a atenção dos principais blogs e sites do mundo, a banda recebeu inúmeros convites para remixarem oficialmente artistas contemporâneos como Empire of the Sun, Cut Copy, Little Boots, Peter Bjorn & John e Polly Scattergood. O duo nova-iorquino também foi escolhido pessoalmente pela dupla australiana The Presets para abrir os shows de sua turnê americana.

Dotados de sintetizadores, baterias, samples e voz, a dupla traz, pela primeira vez, o seu live ao Brasil. O som da dupla é um sofisticado encontro entre as melhores linhas de baixo dos anos 80 com a excelência de sintetizadores atuais. Sendo uma das principais bandas do movimento "Neo Disco", estilo no qual o jornal inglês The Guardian anunciou como sendo a aposta do ano. Neste momento a dupla encontra-se gravando o seu álbum de estreia que deve sair no primeiro semestre de 2010.

Ao lado dos americanos, o show dos brasileiros do Stop Play Moon, que dividem muitas de suas referências com o Golden Filter - da efervescência do mundo da moda ao imediatismo do mundo da música. Geanine Marques, a vocalista do trio, é a musa do estilista internacionalmente famoso Alexandre Hechcovitch, enquanto Paulo Bega, sintetizadores e guitarra, encabeça diversos projetos artísticos - da revista Gudi ao projeto solo Motel. Já o diretor de arte e DJ Ricardo Athayde comanda a bateria do trio, que se torna um quarteto ao vivo.

Os DJs convidados da noite são o Gil Barbara, Database e WE//R\\DJs, combo formado pelos organizadores da festa, os jornalistas Raphael Caffarena e Christel Escosa (AUS/UK).

O residente Gil Barbara é ícone da cena paulistana, tendo começado a tocar há cerca de 20 anos e se apresentado pelos principais clubes do Brasil. Gil também é responsável pela criação do primeiro e mais respeitado site de música eletrônica local, o rraurl, que já conta com 12 anos de existência. Sua experiência é traduzida no balanço entre clássicos e novidades da música apresentado com muita técnica. Espere ouvir o melhor do synthpop dos últimos 20 anos em uma hora de set.

Já o Database é a união dos produtores Yuri Chix e Lucio Morais que entre produções próprias, remixes e sets já chamaram atenção de nomes como Norman Cook, mais conhecido como Fatboy Slim, que além de encomendar remixes com a dupla, também está lançando um single deles por sua gravadora, a Southern Fried. A dupla, que já passou por festivais como TIM Festival, Haagen Dazs e Eletronika, está prestes a entrar em sua primeira turnê internacional.

IM//A\\PARTY has been reborn...

 

BIGGER, BETTER and MORE RIDONKULOUS than BEFORE!!

 

After bringing Brazil electro princess YELLE, Aussie synth-pop darlings BAG RAIDERS we're back to bring you the hype of neo-disco, the darlings of NYC:

 

THE GOLDEN FILTER

 

And this time we're crashing CLASH CLUB in Sao Paulo!

 

Having recently dropped 'Favourite Things' on Kitsuné's latest compilation, this elusive duo first took the scene by storm when they released a faceless 'Solid Gold' into the blogosphere. It had everybody talking about them, wondering, "Who the hell are The Golden Filter?"

 

Brazil! You may have heard them previously playing the catwalks at the most important Fashion Week in South America, SPFW as well as Casa de Criadores (Sao Paulo's new generation fashion event), and of course here on this very blog as well as countless others.

 

The Golden Filter recently toured the whole of the USA supporting epic dancefloor killers The Presets and have remixed the likes of Empire of The Sun, Little Boots, Peter Bjorn and John and Cut Copy...and now we're bringing them to play exclusively at CLASH this August.

 

FLYER-GOLDENFINGER-verso

 

With support from some of the best acts on the Brazilian scene to complete this extravaganza eleganzaaaa, we've got the musical project of Alexandre Herchcovitch's muse Geanine Marques, who with Paulo Bega and Ricardo Athayde make up STOP PLAY MOON.

 

We got DJ GIL BARBARA. Not only is he one of Brazil's most prestigious and highly respected DJs and member of super popular party posse CREW, but he's also one of the purveryors of music taste, being a founding father of RRAURL, the first indepedent electronic music site in Brazil.

 

And last but definitely not least, we've enlisted two-man party unit DATABASE to do a special Ugly Edits set for IM//A\\PARTY before they head off on their US tour. Also CREW members, they're one of the biggest electronic names in Brazil, having officially remixed the likes of Metronomy, MixHell, Larry T, Fatboy Slim (the BPA), Lightspeed Champion and Boss In Drama.
