MIA DOI TODD<\/strong>\u00a0[U.S.]
\nthe way<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nfor a label usually associated with electronica \/ dub et al,\u00a0mia doi todd<\/strong>\u00a0is a surprising addition to the plug research stable. singer \/ songwriter todd is essentially a folk artist, however it’s useful in that context to quote from an interview with american duo\u00a0the books<\/strong>\u00a0in this month’s wire magazine: “folk is one of those terms that has been defined and then destroyed and then redefined so many times that its really difficult to know what people are talking about”. mia’s fourth album ‘manzanita’ comes out on plug after a flirtation with major label sony columbia for 2002’s ‘the golden state’. the above mp3 cracks open with the sense that we’re in post-rock territory before mia drops her trademark joni mitchell vocal – singing “woe is we”. it’s dark and disturbed in there, although the guitar solo raises an unexpected smile.\u00a0buy at iTunes<\/a>
\nJOHN TEJEDA\u00a0<\/strong>[AUSTRIA]
\nalone with you (feat. carl a. finlow)<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\njohn tejada<\/strong>\u00a0is a name normally associated with detriot techno, although the man himself was originally born in austria and relocated to california. tejeda has released a huge catalogue of music spanning many genres – classic electronica, house, techno, drum & bass, even a guitar based project for german label\u00a0city centre offices<\/strong>\u00a0working with japanese guitarist\u00a0takeshi nishimoto<\/strong>. his album for plug research, ‘logic memory centre’ is his tenth album, and features a few collaborations, including kimi recor of\u00a0the invisibles<\/strong>\u00a0and jimmy tamborello (who has worked with\u00a0dntel<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0the postal service<\/strong>). tejeda has cited that this album is 100% digital, crafted entirely from the desktop without recourse to hardware. the end result is smart, crip techno and beautiful uptempo electronica, with enough bright lights and dark corners to sustain our listening pleasure right across the album.\u00a0buy at iTunes<\/a>
\nTHOMAS FEHLMANN<\/strong>\u00a0[SWITZERLAND]
\nlindt<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nfehlman’s career stretches back over 25 years -as founder of early 80s post punk-pop\u00a0palais schaumburg<\/strong>\u00a0(with the excellent\u00a0holger hiller<\/strong>), as a key member of\u00a0the orb<\/strong>\u00a0for many years in the 90s and as a prominent player in the rise of detroit techno in berlin and beyond. add to that collaborations with\u00a0robert fripp<\/strong>, remixes for\u00a0juan atkins<\/strong>,\u00a0klaus schulze<\/strong>\u00a0and more – needless to say, respect is due. ‘lindt’ is taken from the plug research album ‘lowflow’ and is representative of fehlmann’s approach to this long player – the aim is not to inspire on the dancefloor, but rather to provide more experimental, downtempo and dub flavours throughout. like tejada, it’s techno and electronica with heart and soul. dig around\u00a0fehlmann’s site<\/a>\u00a0(in the discography section) for more mp3s.\u00a0buy at iTunes<\/a>
\nLANGUIS<\/strong>\u00a0[ARGENTINA]
\nnever now<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\n‘the four walls’ is album number 5 for this south american duo (now based in los angeles) and, much like\u00a0caribou<\/strong>‘s latest work, it’s a successful marriage of live instrumentation and electronica. i can hear\u00a0new order<\/strong>\u00a0in the basslines, a whole heap of emo in the vocal, and yet the rest – familiar though it seems – can’t be nailed down. if post rock was invented in the early 80s, it might have sounded something like this.\u00a0buy at iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
