ByPatrick St. Michel October 1, 2009

They also try out some tunes by The Stylistics and The Gypsy Kings. Dudes got the Garfunkel hair down, though.

Chaos Conductor: Phew’s Light Sleep
ByPatrick St. Michel March 15, 2017March 15, 2017

I’ll ideally have more on this one soon, but also worth pointing out — long time experimental artist Phew’s newest album Light Sleep is out now, and very much worth your time. She has created an album of unnerving electronics — made from an array of older synthesizers — and beats that just lurch forward,…

New Gokou Kuyt, Tohji, Sleet Mage And Who28: “nap”
ByPatrick St. Michel January 8, 2018

More of a Soundcloud-centric rapper round robin than a song proper, “nap” highlights four very promising artists taking their own perspective on the hazy, often-gloomy sounds of a wave coming from America. We’ve highlighted two of them before — Sleet Mage, whose Astral Body Boi tape makes our top 50 of 2017 if we redid…

Punch Up: Lady’s Only’s For All Time
ByPatrick St. Michel June 27, 2018

For All Time bleeds energy drink, but the most charming moments come when the guarana taste recedes ever so slightly and a softer side comes through. Lady’s Only has kicked around Tokyo’s club scene for a few years now, playing high-energy sets that refused to take a breather (with the four members of the project…

Summer Feel: Commune310 Presents Commune310 Suika Featuring Loopcoda, Dog Noise And More
ByPatrick St. Michel August 28, 2017August 28, 2017

Summer might be nearing a close, but Commune310 refuses to let it pass without a final rush of party-ready tunes. Commune310 Suika gathers tracks from a variety of producers, all leaning towards the up tempo and vaguely summery (which, I guess for me, means fast and/or sweaty). This ranges from the faded future-funk bounce of…

Good Taste: G. Rina’s “Utsusemi” (Track By Kosmo Kat)
ByPatrick St. Michel September 4, 2014

Singer G. Rina appeared on one of the highlight songs from Kobe producer Tofubeat’s Lost Decade album last year, the slow-burning “No.1.” She’s just released a new EP, available on iTunes, and first song “Utsusemi” continues the trend of her finding good producers to help her sound even stronger. She worked with Kosmo Kat (recently…

New Moscow Club: “Band Of Outsiders”
ByPatrick St. Michel September 11, 2015

Here’s the next taste of Moscow Club’s first album in two years, due at the end of the month. “Band Of Outsiders” — premiered via blogger/curator Yvynyl — is Moscow Club playing heads-down indie-pop, all guitars and inter-locking vocal harmonies. It works best as the opener to Outfit Of The Day, and as a nice…
