“Clppng: make party music for the club you wish you hadn’t gone to, the car you don’t remember getting in, and the streets you don’t feel safe on.”

After the end of Death Grips, maybe the Clipping from LA is the number one noise hop band. They’ve recorded 2 songs together with special unknown guest stars, e.g. Signor Benedick The Moor. This digital single is free

„I gave myself permission to make really bad electronic music on my computer.”

Caroline Polachek (from the American synth pop duo Chairlift) has made a solo album during her band’s tour last year. It was written and recorded in hotel room closets, airport terminals and airplane bathrooms alone. 80’s new wave synth pop with a little sacral attitude.

She is a very special woman. „Cicadas are my favorite bug because they’re underground for seven years, and when they come out, they’re only out for the tiniest amount of time. They’re such romantic creatures.”

Natasha Khan is an English singer-songwriter. She was born into a Muslim family in London to a Pakistani father and an English mother. Her carreer: school truant because of her mates’ racism – card-packing factory worker & songwriter and home music maker – University of Brighton: music and visual arts – make three successful and critically well acclaimed albums between 2006-12 under the name: Bat For Lahes. Those bore me. Her music and voice come in my mind Björk and Madonna. But now here is an exciting track from her, a cover version of an Amir Rassaei song, Aroos Khanom. Accompanied by TOY

The Bride, 7″ in 250 copies by Speedy Wunderground

Amir Rassaei was(?) an Iranian singer before the Islamic Revolution. After the revolution the western-style music would be banned there, but it’s alive. A very good film about the recent Persian music.
