My immediate response to ‘Inertia’ was, “Oh no, digital pitter-patter, this is going to be boring; all the sampled midi stuff is not really music anyway.” Then, right about the time I decided to put aside my often stuffy, somewhat elitist attitudes regarding the conventions of musical expression – you know, acoustical instruments, the sound of human fingers across metal or nylon strings, the nuances and timbres present in the fiber of skin covered drums, the natural decay of volume following a cymbal crash or the subtle overtones the ear discerns lofting from the metal alloys – I began to get drawn into a kind of haunting pull from this composer’s expression.

As I listened, I realized I was responding from a primal place. This composer has found an effective basis of form and expression that corresponds with human emotion. I do find that interestin

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

So what is it with these SNOG guys? Just when we have them all figured out as agit-prop electro propagandists they go and drop a brand new CD-EP the title track of which (City) is an electro-"power ballad". And a strangely affecting and even touching electro-"power ballad" at that. Don't they know that electronic bands are meant to just make the same record and over and over again? Sheeesh. This could really upset the apple cart.

And what's with those new collaborations with those denizens of the dubstep deep Monster Zoku Onsomb? Are they weird but kinda catchy or what? And Thrussell (if it really is Thrussell?) now he sounds a bit like a mutant Berlin cabaret singer from the 1920s over an elastic mashed-up beat. This really is too much.

And then they bring out the remixes, The Calculator's svelte dancefloor killer, Curse Ov Dialect's straight-up insanity and to top it off right near the end of the record there is some guy sounds like he is singing songs around a camp fire to a bunch of Girl Guides.

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.

Propelled by the acoustic-led first single 'Holiday in Baghdad' which has already been causing waves having been was chosen as the feature track for the Billabong s

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

Klaas' fascination with electronic music was aroused by the Cologne club scene in the late 90s. Soon after, the open-minded Cologne based DJ moved forward to the energetic electro-sound producing his first vinyl 'Slip & Slide' with Micha Moor for the Cologne label Scream and Shout Recordings and hasn't looked back. Releases 'Get Twisted' and 'Confession' shot into the Top 5 of the German dance charts, with Klaas in-demand talents seeing him remix the likes of The Freelance Hellraiser, Kucho & Gregor Salto, Eddie Thoenick, John Morley, Chrissi D! and Jens Lissat among others. Always looking to push original work, Klaas brand-spankin new single 'The Way' is burning up dancefloors across the globe and acts a perfect teaser for his maiden tour of Australia across November and December.

Screw soap the mouth; the brand of jack that defines Chicago's new-school house sound gets a tech-heavy makeover from the talent roster of Potty Mouth Music. Inspired by the dirty glitch twists of fidget house producers such as Switch, Trevor Loveys and Jesse Rose, Potty Mouth ditches conventional house boundaries, imploring turntable trickery, unconventional loops and straight up techno into its catalogue of tracks. Chicago-based label head James Amato keeps house-heavy influences in place and lacing them with the kind of dirty glitch that makes it feel so good to be so bad. Potty Mouth artists included The Crookers (Italy), DJ Fame (New York) Santiago & Bushido (Chicago), The Bulgarian (UK), HiJack (UK).

Infintium Release Their Debut EP on Infintium Records. Infintium continue on from their eponymous self released mini album and their recent remix of Skink's - You Know That Place Well, for his "100 Random Signs" remix album on MOMT Records with a brand new EP, which also acts as the first release for new record label: Infintium Records. Retaining the lush soundscapes and detailed production values of their previous material, the &Phuture Demonstration EP, pushes the Infintium sound in new exciting directions, refining their unique Electronica blueprint. The Phuture Demonstration EP consists of 4 brand new tracks. Starting out with the down tempo ambience of title track: Phuture Demonstration, to the frenzied complex soundscaping of neo D "n" B track: Jupidelta, and the unsettling glitch infused: Hadron Collision, finishing off with a journey back in time to a parallel universe in the shape of Electro/Funk stomper: Lectoslink."A delve into the odd and Phuturistic world of Infintium is a journey of many emot

This is a quite unbeleivable, utterly unique soundbox from China, which is causing quite a stir worldwide - the Sun City Girls / Sublime Frequencies main man Alan Bishop bought twenty four of these on sight and Brian Eno bought eight! (how's that for apocalyptical math?). FM3 are a duo of Christiaan Virant and Chinese keyboardist and computer musician Zhang Jian - based in Beijing. The Buddha Machine is a hardware loop player, built kind of like a little AM radio, playing 9 different built-in loops on an endless cycle, with one simple button allowing you to fade between them - something that creates an oddly compulsive effect on the senses. Available in 6 different colors,(shipped randomly), comes with 2 x AA batteries. Simple and beautifully bizarre - the perfect christmas gift you'll want to keep all to yourself. Founded by Christiaan Virant in Beijing in 1999, FM3 pioneered avant-garde electronic music in China. Virant works closely with computer musician Zhang Jian, distilling the FM3 sound from tradit

SNOG -THE LAST DAYS OF ROME (album) CD Psy-065

...Mists rise from the Rubicon as the Barbarian hordes lie silently poised to invade. And indeed the mighty gates quake, but Rome crumbles inward, sagging then collapsing, from the weight of its own greed, corruption and outright stupidity...

World History for Dummies? pg 3 Blake, Gates 1997.

As should be obvious to any erudite observer there are no parallels here with the contemporary world stage at all. And so it is that Snog turn their back on their most recent outings of barbed satirical electro-punk and instead offer a new brand new album of historical narratives and charming tone poems set in palatable electro-pop surroundings, The Last Days Of Rome.

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
