Paper Record Player/ Kelli Anderson


This is a paper record player wedding invitation! In the booklet-style invitation, a bit of paper-folding amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. The hand-spun record yields a garbled, but scrutable listening of an original song by the couple.
The whole thing serves as an interactive packaging for the song—which can be experienced on the paper record player, unscrewed + set on a regular turntable, or enjoyed online.

So that’s what it is. Pretty cool, eh? Download the entire song here.

My boyfriend linked me this website on skype this morning, and now i can't stop listening to these amazing playlist! Stereomood is "the emotional internet radio, providing music that best suits your mood and your activities"
On the first page of this website you will read : "behind every song there's always an emotion. We don't know why but maybe that's why we love music. So we've created a way to suggest songs that follow your feelings".. 
I started listening to the "dressing up" playlist, choose your own and.. have fun!

The Boat that Rocked/ I love Radio Rock!


"To all our listeners, this is what I have to say - God bless you all. And as for you bastards in charge, don't dream it's over. Years will come, years will go, and politicians will do fuck all to make the world a better place. But all over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams and put those dreams into song. Nothing important dies tonight, just a few ugly guys on a crappy ship. The only sadness tonight is that, in future years, there'll be so many fantastic songs that it will not be our privilege to play. But, believe you me, they will still be written, they will still be sung and they will be the wonder of the world."

Soulwax/ E-talking


World-renowned as two of the most eclectic live acts, both Soulwax and 2ManyDJs' shows have been notoriously high energy, mashing every type of dance music they can get their Belgian mitts on from the likes of Aphex Twin's infamous Windowlicker and Major Lazer's Pon De Floor to Donna Summer, accompanied by mad eye-popping real time visuals.

  • Over the years do you feel there has been a particular progression over how your sets as 2ManyDJs?
Soulwax: In our sets we mainly play out things that are the new tracks that we have been listening to. The thing with our sets is that we never really been attached to any genres… the whole thing is what we like and we don’t really understand when something fits into set genres like tech-house, to techno, it’s all dance music. It’s about playing lots of music that we love that works with a big crowd for us….

  • So is there anyone you’d like to get together and be collaborating with here?
Soulwax: No… not into collaborations – there are too many in the world. Like remixes, it’s just for the names involved and not enough about the music. Sometimes it’s good but not for the moment we’re staying away from all that.

  • When will you be getting back into the studio?
Soulwax: We’ve been working on our Radio Soulwax project for the last year and a half… it’s like 24 compilations, each with different music and visual theme which will be available through a free internet radio station, we’re nearing the end…

  • How did the idea of Radio Soulwax come about?
Soulwax: We’d made a compilation and it was a surprise how much of a success it was… it wouldn’t make sense to do another at this point though, to release another mix compilation and put it on the shelves… the world has changed so much since then, it wouldn’t have made a similar impact.

  • What happened to the Nite Versions?
Soulwax: We were thinking about doing more, but nothing’s planned at the moment. Then we want to do our next album with two different versions…

  • As your live shows tend to be so visual, have you looked into the idea of utilising 3D technology for them?
Soulwax: We looked into this for our next shows but we came to the conclusion that what makes it [our shows] cool is that it’s so 2D. Once you make it 3D it loses it special touch, like we may have the right people to be using the right technology, but we haven’t had the right project yet.

  • What are you most looking forward to next?
Soulwax: Launching Radio Soulwax

Uffie/ Electropop and Fashion

  • You could start by telling me the origin of your name. Is “Uffie” your birth name?
Ah! Uffie is the nickname actually my dad gave me. “œuf” is an egg in French, so that somehow turned into Uffie before I can even remember.
  • You are currently in Paris, but where did you grow up?
I was born in Miami actually, I moved to Hong Kong when I was four, and then I moved back to Florida: Miami, Fort Lauderdale. Then Connecticut, then Missouri for a while, and then Paris when I was 15.
  • You’ve been there for awhile then. How does Paris compare to any of the other places you’ve lived?
You can walk everywhere, which is nice. The food’s amazing. It just really has a slower pace, everyone enjoys life here. They take their time, long dinners. It just has really calm vibes, and there is always something to do, always an exhibition happening. It’s a very good balance.
  • So how did you get into rap from that childhood?
I started listening to a lot of hip hop when I came back from the US to Hong Kong. And when I started making music, I was friends with DJ Feadz, and he was kind of pushing me to do vocals for him, so I wrote “Pop the Glock”. And things just kind of went crazy from there!

Il Teatro Degli Orrori/ A sangue freddo


non è il tetto che perde, non sono le zanzare
non è il cibo meschino: non basterebbe a un cane
non è il nulla del giorno che piano sprofonda
nel vuoto della notte. Sono le menzogne!

Royksopp/ Remind me

And everywhere i go,
there's always something to remind me
of another place and time
where love that travelled far had found me.
