Start your week off right by listening to the new 2 Bears album in it’s entirety. Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell came together in 2009 and have finally released a slew of new songs for our listening pleasure … Continue reading
Stoked. Ed Banger talent, 80′s funk and groove producer Breakbot has been kind enough to release his opening set of last year’s Chromeo “Night Falls” tour on soundcloud (bonus: the recording is from Toronto visit!). And trust me, you’re going … Continue reading
I told you so. Sorry I had to get that out of my system. Madeon’s on the rise like no other in electronic music. Want to know why? Dip into his most recent appearance on BBC radio. Warning: This set is chill-inducing. … Continue reading
This local electro-dipped indie act is another prime example of why Toronto is being touted as a candidate for music capital of the world. “Wake All My Youth” is a seven track, tropical tour lead by strong lyric writing, twanging … Continue reading
