Soundwave

We had a great time this year at the Soundwave Music Festival a couple weeks ago on Vancouver Island. Big thanks to the organizers and everyone involved including all the dancers. Aside from our two night-time sets on the beach with the ocean and moon as a backdrop - one of the highlights was getting to play an afternoon set at the Meadow stage - check out this video:



In General it was a great crowd and great vibe all weekend. Thanks again Soundwave!

Sounds of Summer

MALENTE - SOUND OF SUMMER MEGAMIX

Our good mate from Munster, Germany - Malente has done an out of character mix which gets away from his usual heavy electric dance sound. It turned out awesome. As he says it's done in the spirit of late 80's Ibiza Megamixes. He even managed to squeeze in Smalltown's Paul Simon re-edit. Anyways - enjoy summer and enjoy Malente.

Serge

Check out this video of Serge Gainsbourg and Whitney Houston having a joint interview in France. Serge you were a glorious dirty old man.

Deep Space Rock

Fans of space, acid and rock 'n roll I highly recommend you check out the BBC4 documentary on Hawkwind to learn all there is to know about the band.

Also watch live footage of Hawkwind performing 'Silver Machine' live. So good!

Also check Hawkwind cover art by Barney Bubbles.

Philadelphia Flyer

I've trumpeted about this guy before and I'm happy to do it again. Believe the music blog hype, Philly psych popster Kurt Vile is the real deal. Recently signed to Matador, Vile's new record on the venerated indie imprint is due in October. Here's the first single, a nice little slice of fuzzed-out pop.
