ListenUp. Sage Caswell: Buyerside (Archie Pelago Overdub) Archie Pelago, a Brooklyn-based trio that merges improvisational jazz with experimental electronic music, play their instruments (cello, sax and trumpet) as well as they do mixer knobs and effects pedals.
Their twist on skate video director-turned-dance music producer Sage Caswell's "Buyerside" is an intense flash of reeds and synth chords over electronic beats, for a brief track you'd only play at the peak hour of the party. No one is immune to this feverish release of energy. Caswell's upcoming EP Good to See You/To Be Continued will be released through Archie Pelago Music on 3 November 2014. Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell Cellist Arthur Russell passed away from AIDS at 40 years old, performing and composing until his illness would no longer allow him to. OM RECORDS. Danny Tenaglia on “Five things I’ve learnt from 30+ years of DJing” This article is part of a series of Music Tour City Guides put together with our partner Miller – for more inside info on clubbing in New York, visit the Miller Music Tour Hub.
The quintessential working-man New York house DJ, Danny Tenaglia started out as the disc jockey at his local roller disco, inspired by Larry Levan’s sets at seminal house club Paradise Garage (an experience he told us about in a recent interview). Since those humble beginnings over three decades ago, he’s maintained a place at the top of the international house hierarchy as a “DJ’s DJ”, held down storied residencies at clubs like Twilo and Tunnel, remixed big names like Madonna and Michael Jackson, and released 11 mixes and albums. At 52 he’s still going strong and touring constantly (despite claims last year that he was going to retire), with a NYE visit to Australia booked to play Lost and Found NYE at ivy in Sydney and Welcome Summer in Melbourne. LISTEN: Disclosure Live In Concert. Why Jazz Clubs in San Francisco are Struggling to Survive: Music. Music By Jonathan Curiel | Feb 24, 2013 Near the corner of Broadway and Columbus, in the heart of San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, a storefront beckons passers-by with signage that suggests good times for all.
"Jazz at Pearl's," blares the awning at 256 Columbus Avenue, where an outside wall has the same big lettering. Below the lettering, though, are stickers with graffiti, and a bigger sign that tells the bitter truth: "For Lease. " If there's a poetic symbol of the up-and-down state of jazz in San Francisco, it's 256 Columbus Avenue. When Jazz at Pearl's was going strong, as it was a decade ago, jazz aficionados crowded into the space to hear the likes of singer Madeline Eastman and percussionist extraordinaire Pete Escovedo.

Shuffling: the War at the Heart of London's New Dance Scene. For too long now, British youth culture has lacked its own dance move.
What used to be a defining trope of every movement – from Charleston swingers and moonstomping skinheads, to swaying, wet look 2-step lads and slamdancing suburban maggots – has dwindled to an afterthought in recent years. Somewhere along the line, dancing became a personal choice – something you could do if you really wanted to, rather than something you had to do if you wanted to climb the social ladder within your own subculture. It used to be that first you got the dance moves, then you got the power, then you got the women. Lately, it's seemed more like first you get the dance moves, then you get laughed at, then everyone avoids you while you wildly flay your arms around in a sad typhoon of sweat and loneliness.
But in the last few months people have been bringing a new dance to the streets of London. Shuffling as a dance form isn't exactly kicking any doors down. Via Okay. Cool.

Michael Jackson - Love Never Felt So Good (Fedde Le Grand Remix) (BBC Radio 1 Premiere) [Sony] Fedde Le Grand considers himself an avid follower of The King of Pop, with the Dutch DJ/producer claiming to have found inspiration in Jackson's composition throughout his career.
With new posthumous material on the way, what MJ fan would be able to turn down a chance to put their personal touch on the lead single? Fedde Le Grand's Love Never Felt So Good remix premiered on Danny Howard's BBC Radio 1 show May 10, and Howard can barely hold it together under the track's massive significance while explaining that the original dates all the way back to the Thriller days, brought up to date by a team of producers and songwriters.
Le Grand's take on the lead track lends it some big room energy contrasted with expansive, piano-laden breakdowns that make room for Michael's singsong vocals to shine. The remix comes out May 19, with the original track and the rest of the Xscape album dropping May 13. ▶ Bandcamp.
