Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio, Find New Music Le langage des singes Cet homme qui marche seul, le front bas et le regard perdu dans ce champ, c’est Simon Green A.K.A. Bonobo, un des meilleurs producteurs et multi-instrumentistes de la perfide Albion, issu de cette fameuse scène de Brighton. Avec 5 albums en 13 ans, si l’Anglais n’est pas une foudre de guerre dans la production discographique, chacun de ses disques est un pas de plus dans la cour des plus grands. North Borders (Ninja Tune), son cinquième album, à l’instar de son prédécesseur Black Sands continue sa gringue à la house, tout en conservant ce son organique tiré de ses cuivres et autres cordes qu’il orchestre comme peu savent le faire. A l’occasion de son concert parisien au Trianon et prenant un peu trop sérieux son nom de scène, il ne s’est exprimé que par le truchement de gestes et de cris que nous avons essayé de retranscrire le plus fidèlement un peu plus bas. Du coup, cet album est-il plus enclin à être joué en club que les précédents ? Sur chaque album, tu fais appel à différentes voix.

ALL SOUL AND FUNK Stones Throw, un label et l'Histoire. Le douze décembre 2012, l’immense discothèque qui tient lieu de maison à Peanut Butter Wolf accueille une Boiler Room épique de plus de douze heures. Le créateur et directeur du label Stones Throw est dans son élément, nageant dans ses disques. Cette orgie discale se mue alors en une soirée entre proches du label, autour de la figure tutélaire se pressent Dam Funk, Madlib ou encore J Rocc. Un engagement irréprochable pour la musique c’est ce que l’on pourra toujours retenir de Stones Throw et ce qui explique cette relation fusionnelle entre les artistes, la structure et son directeur. Ce documentaire sera dévoilé en avant première au festival international du film d'aubagne le 21 mars toutes les infos ici. I/ Un label à l’image d’un homme. Né en 1970 et originaire de San José, Peanut Butter Wolf semble destiné à la musique. Il prend un tournant New Wave et Punk au lycée où il fait la rencontre d’autres amis musiciens avec pour seul objectif de percer dans le milieu de la musique.

Beats Music is launching January 21st -- here's a sneak peek That's Beats' new streaming service. No surprise, of course. Seems like the Jimmy Iovine / Dr. Dre's red headphone-pushing company has been eyeing the space since the World Class Wreckin' Cru days. Last month, the company offered up a bit of information in the form of an online teaser, noting that it would finally be dropping in January. The exact date, it turns out, is the 21st, though the company happily let us download an iOS teaser of the offering (it'll be available on "nearly all the major platforms" at launch according to the company). The first part of the solution is the "on-boarding" process. The result of that initial curation is a page full of artwork not dissimilar from Spotify's current front page, offering up songs and playlists with big Play icons in the middle. At launch, the service will offer up 20 million tracks for $10 a month. Comments

A rare encounter with Madlib An extended edit of the interview that first appeared in the December issue of Dazed & Confused: Madlib, one of the most prolific producers of the last 20 years, has cooked up classics for Mos Def, DOOM, Erykah Badu, J Dilla, Lootpack and Ghostface Killah, as well as diverse solo records under aliases such as Quasimoto, the Beat Konducta and Yesterdays New Quintet. His oblique approach to sampling has influenced everyone from Flying Lotus to Thom Yorke, yet the 40-year-old reckons that the world has only heard 30 per cent of his life’s work, with the rest lying unreleased on tapes and CDs in his LA studio. Dazed Digital: Do you see yourself as an archivist? Madlib: Kind of, yeah. DD: Have your kids ever destroyed any really valuable records? Madlib: They used to! DD: Ouch. Madlib: By the time I get to them it’s too late, you know. DD: Can you stand back and objectively look at the impact of your music in a wider historical context? Madlib: That’s for other people to do. Madlib: Probably.

About : Dust & Grooves ~ Vinyl. Music. Culture Dust & Grooves is a photography and interview project documenting vinyl collectors in their most natural and intimate environment: the record room. It all started out several years ago as nothing more than a way for photographer Eilon Paz to make use of his idle hours. Adrift in Brooklyn after emigrating from Israel, Eilon—a record collector on the side—thought it might be fun to start taking photos of people whose record collections were both larger and weirder than his own. Adopting this as his personal project, he began traveling the world, from Australia to Cuba and Argentina to Ghana, in pursuit of intriguing and memorable subjects. In the summer of 2012, Eilon launched a Kickstarter campaign that funded his road trip to shoot collectors throughout the American heartland, and since then, the project has been embraced by many friends and supporters who have volunteered to work with Eilon along the way.

Madlib In the shop: FREDDIE GIBBS & MADLIB – PINATA | iTunes: PIÑATA Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets, but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona. Pinata, a 17-track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer. Pinata is “a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax,” Gibbs says, and the full-length result of a process that began in 2009. “I will show you my flaws, I’ll show you what I’ve done wrong and what I’ve fucked up at,” says the native of Gary, Indiana, the former steel town best known for producing Michael Jackson. There’s also Madlib’s own self-awareness of his style as a producer. It’s tracks like “Real” that makes fans believe Gibbs’ claim that “I’m about to show niggas how to rap again.” Freddie Gibbs photo by Peter Beste
