On the back of a massive year, Kiwi electronic act Pitch Black announce the release of their first two artist albums and a return to Australia for four very special shows.

Having wowed us with their 'Rude Mechanical' album in 2007 Pitch Black have decided that the time is right to make their first and second albums 'Future Proof' and 'Electronomicon' available to Aussie fans. Not only have the double-disc recordings been re-mastered so they sound better than the original releases, but they also include a number of hard to find remixes.

Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson aka Pitch Black could be best be described as Kiwi Electronic Royalty. They have been blowing crowds away since their first spin back in 1997 and have continued to impress with world-class performances ever since. The Pitch Black sound is a distinct combination of musical journeys ranging from organic ambient beginnings, layered sound scapes to cutting-edge acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves. Their live show is a full-sensory experie

The BoomBox Mix Sessi

Mastery of tribal jackin break-house is a very specific talent and for over a decade this British producer has been at the forefront of it all; releasing groundbreaking mix CDs, remixing the world's most acclaimed artists and knocking out dancefloor destroying productions.

From the start of his DJing career is 1989, Lee bathed himself in the acid house scene at parties around London and Cambridge. Soaking up as much of the filth and grime as he could, Coombs soon developed a signature sound, one that combined elements of breaks, house, electro, techno and acid.

In 1998 Coombs made his first massive strike on the breaks scene as the prized recruit of hip label Finger Lickin', where he released the acclaimed album Future Sound of Retro, well and truly placing him on the world stage. His impressive releases such as the re-dub of Quivver's One Last Time made dance fans across the globe go weak and also caught the attention of industry heavyweights such as Pete Tong.

Paul Oakenfold was soon knocking at

Step aboard the aircraft and prepare for take off. Leave reality in the departure lounge and step into a world of passion, emotion and multi-layered sonic delight as Tijuana Cartel whisk you away on a 54 minute joyride of mammoth proportions.

From Paul George and Carey O'Sullivan - the artists who brought you the critically acclaimed album 'Welcome Traveller' courtesy of their Audio Shaman project, comes the next captivating chapter in their musical endeavours. 'Frequent Flyers - Redeemed' sees the talented duo turn up the tempo as they team up with MC/DJ Reagan Hoskins, and percussionist Daniel Gonzale to deliver a diverse sound scape of flamenco and slide guitars, beguiling Middle Eastern vocals, electronic world beats, ethnic percussion and poetic social commentary.

For a political class that clumsily instigates global mayhem like a large pack of boozed-up jocks in a small bar, it sure does scare easily. After one terrorist attack it shuts down the Constitution and draws up plans to bomb or imprison anyone with a towel on his head.

Now, unable to do anything useful about our catastrophe in Iraq, Congress moves on to a more manageable mortal threat -- rap lyrics. The House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection chaired by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) convened to address the issue last week. The hearing was a made-for-Jon Stewart event -- these media-clueless hacks straining to persuade (not force) titans of the recording industry to stop releasing hard core rap -- one of the industry's few remaining golden geese. Our leaders, however, would find it easier to sleep at night if they knew that, after more than a generation in the cultural bloodstream, rap has become as safe as milk to a young audience that is in no way shock

New York, NY (September 14th, 2007) Layo Paskin & Matthew 'Bushwacka!' Benjamin's love affair with music began as teenagers at the dawn of the acid house era. It has led both of them on a journey through techno, breakbeat, electro, dub, electronica, and any other pigeonhole in its wake. They have emerged almost two decades later with a sound that fuses their influences and solidifies their position at the anterior of the genre. It is that same outlaw spirit of eclecticism that still forms their mad five hour DJ sets, whether it is at their spiritual home The End Club in London, a beach in Brazil (the inspiration for this album), or at a super club in Ibiza. It is this same passion that turned the limited edition 12" 'Untitled' into the global anthem, becoming 'Love Story', crashing onto the music charts worldwide in 2003, including the UK Top 10. .

With this eclectic sound it is only fitting that GU 33 migrates to Rio de Janeiro. It is famous for its spectacular natural setting, its Carnival celebrations, s

They're back. After a 3 year hiatus, New Zealand's finest Pitch Black are set to return to Australia with their fourth album in tow - the atmospheric masterpiece 'Rude Mechanicals' out September 3rd through Vitamin Records. Champions of the Kiwi electronic music scene since they first spun their magic at the annual Gathering New Year's eve festival in 1997, Pitch Black have etched out an indelible place in music fans' hearts worldwide. From playing massive festivals the Big Day Out, Earthcore and the UK's legendary Big Chill (UK) on two occasions, to supporting the likes of Underworld, Kraftwerk and Coldcut, the pairing of Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson have an uncanny ability to take it to the next level time and time again. On the back of 2004's stunning album 'Ape to Angel', which earned an impressive five stars and 'Album of the Month' accolade in respected UK dance bible DJ Magazine, comes the tantalising 'Rude Mechanicals'. A cross-genre delight, Pitch Black's palette consists of everything

Simultaneously serving as evidence for the restaurant's unexplained deletion from the Top 100, the Farallon review you knew was coming finally drops. It's a tale of two visits: one where the critic goes unrecognized, the other where he gets ID'ed. Farallon predictably fires on all cylinders in the latter, but the former sees all types of carnage. Boom goes The Bauer:I encountered lots of missteps in both food and service, which is unacceptable given the high prices - $34.50 to $42 for main courses. When a straightforward dish such as asparagus with a quail egg and a thin layer of Serrano ham and Meyer lemon vinaigrette is $15.50, the food needs to be perfect. If not, diners rightfully feel cheated; at least, that's how we felt.More ouch:Since Farallon had the audacity to charge $18 for shrimp and scallop siu mai I figured the dumplings would be stratospherically delicious; it's a challenge to best some of the dim sum we have here, often at a quarter of the price. However, the siu mai were more like the ones a

Been Through arrives three years after Fenin's first long player 'Grounded' (2005) on Shitkatapult. His first release on T.Raumschmieres label was the "Container" Ep in the late nineties followed by various 12"s and remixes for labels such as Eintakt, Revolver, Metosound and Echocord. Whereas 'Grounded' was a mixture of techno, reggae, dub and electronica soundscapes, his new album showcases his songwriting skills and is claimed more to be an electronic-listening album influenced by :dub, electronika, breaks and techno. The album feat tracks and collaborations with Italian avantgarde jazz guitarist and electronic producer Eraldo Bernocchi, Jamaican toaster Scorcha and Gorbi, a berlin based singer from Ghana. http://www.humpty.de?id=47&aid=16404&lang=en

In his glowing review of the new 8-core Xserve, Tom Yager (infoworld.com) asserts that it breaks the PC server mold with big iron-class reliability, availability, and serviceability features, but with neither the big iron price tag nor management complexity. A great option for small business, Xserve is built and supported to run not for one or two years, but three years, five years, and beyond.

Die - wie blich - verdchtigen Protagonisten der beliebtesten Klner Partyreihen im Zeichen der gebrochenen Beats, an diesem Abend gemeinsam zu einem Nachbarschaftstreffen in der Beat Boutique. Bei 6 Aktivisten, die sich auf dem Mainfloor den Tonarm in die Hand geben, ist eine Spannbreite an Breaks zu erwarten, die so in Kln kaum zu finden sein wird.

We've all been there at one point: sat in our bedrooms, making homemade pause/record mixes with our tape decks, convinced that someday our names would grace music history books alongside Grandmaster Flash, Steinski and Jazzy Jeff. But alas, our mixtapes that could've made Spinbad sweat have been chewed up and acquired nothing but dust, and 'cut n paste' has sadly become a term that causes even the strongest of us to shudder, as we recall a grueling day in the office struggling with Excel. But one DJ, hailing from North London, held tight to his dreams; his undamaged mixtapes have only gotten more polished and famed as he continues to commandeer the cut n paste fight - the irreplaceable, definitive hip hop protagonist, DJ Yoda. Surrounded by music from his very onset, with both parents avidly working in the industry (his father a manager of legendary artists such as Eddy Grant and Eurhythmics; his mother working for various producers), even young Duncan Beiny's bedroom was no escape, being the storage space
