Aphex Twin is set to release a new compilation album this April named ‘Chosen Lords’.
‘Chosen Lords’ is partly-inspired by NY electro, Chicago house and Detroit techno classics, but the album also stimulates the kind of “lucid dreaming” atmospherics found on ‘Selected Ambient Works 85-92’, for all this facts i asume that Aphex Twin will do it again changing paradigms of music.

As with most Richard D. James releases, it’s hard to pin it down to any one genre. Largely recorded on Richard’s private collection of analog synthesizers - vintage, modern and home-made, the rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and even some subliminal lyrics have all evolved directly from the machines.
Many people try to imitate Richard’s sound, but he remains an unrivaled innovator when it comes to the emotional and musical depth and complexity of his tracks.

Something sad, these tracks will not be available for download or on CD, they will only be on vinyl, but maybe they will be on p2p networks

Yeah, it’s strange but it’s real, I mean, just a few days ago we posted our elegible “album of the month” and for this month only the question was: “which album do you prefer, Sergio Mendes - Timeless or ,Gilles Peterson - Worldwide Exclusives?”

Let me tell you something ironic, Gilles Peterson has a radio show at the BBC named Worlwide, on the last Sunday show Gilles had a really intersting interview with the legend of Brasil 66, Sergio Mendes, he spoke about his colaboration on the Timeless album, you must listen to this, in the interview Gilles Peterson lets us know he’s fascinated about Mendes’ work, yeah and who won’t be?

In my opinion definetly the vote of Gilles Peterson IS for Timeless and that makes Mendes’ album the winner, I guess that only proves Peterson’s passion for exposing new music and ideas, and for that, we repect him.

The weird looking mutantrumpet is a hybrid instrument invented by Ben Neill in the beginning of the 1990’s, the electro-acoustic-visual trumpet contains three bells, two sets of valves (that is, six valves instead of three) and a trombone slide. In the mouthpiece there is a pickup that converts the sound to MIDI information, there are also momentary switches next to the valves as well as four MIDI controllers made by pressure sensing pads and potentiometers. It has a computer interface that enables the player to launch and modify sequences, record samples and handle them in real time and it also controls lighting and video or slide projection.

I dare you to open this Pandora’s Box of Jungle/Drum & Bass, in this video they explain some of the history of the “Amen Break” in a few words drum & bass or jungle was born in 1969, check it out.

Our friend Calvin Hwang recently suggested us that we need to make a review about Lady Sovereign. Why? maybe because she is one of the finest urban MCs and producers from England, ever since she created expectation on the internet by her crazy accapellas, Bassent Jaxx got interested in her and they helped promoting her work, In her first album Vertically Challenged she does not only explore the most playful side of the grime genre, she’s created amazing beats full of dexterity and bass lines and she’s also added some good humor,
actually Lady Sovereign. is making the kind of noise that will set her supremacy.
You can see a live act of her on the Coachella Festival in Indio California
