Lunapark sings/performs Aphex Twin

Lunapark is a Dutch classical ensemble reinterpreting and performing 'songs' and tracks by Aphex Twin. Beautiful and fascinating.

Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers

What a debut album, this Crooks & Lovers. Mount Kimbie is a duo from London that might have produced the very first - take a deep breath - ... post-dubstep album. Or should we say electronic, jazzy, groovy fusion soundscaping? Or is it just hazy, warm pop music in 2010, using friendly guitars, R'n'B vibes, drums and laptops? Dance music for guys who don't like to dance. Before I move off.

Music video: Mount Kimbie - Would know

The future of dubstep might be... Mount Kimbie. Their debut album Crooks & Lovers might rank highly in many end-of-year charts of 2010. What a fantastic record. Would know is out now as single. 

Steely Aphex Twin

No balls, no glory. The Steel Band of the CCM (College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati) reinvents Richard D. James' Alberto Balsam. The result is surprising. Alarm Will Sound might be jealous.

Via Eclectro.

Music video: Flying Lotus - MmmHmm

One of the best tracks on Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma album is MmmHmm, a bizarre mixture of jazz and, let's say, experimental Radiohead. Strange video clip, by the way.

Laurent Garnier live

Two hour live (!) concert of techno ancien Laurent Garnier and band in HD. Like no one else, Garnier proves that techno can be played live, with real instruments and musicians. On stage, Garnier is a conductor who gives his orchestra the freedom to improvise and jam. Recommended: the 21 minute version of magnum opus The man with the red face.
