Northern Lights and beyond

Here’s a random collection of stuff, including some interesting Icelandic tunes by FM Belfast, Seabear and a brand new single from Emiliana Torrini. Plus that irresistible Mummers-track March of the dawn – not that they are from anywhere near Iceland, but the song most definitely has a strong affinity with Bjork so I [...]

UVX at Beat-Herder 2008

Beat-Herder is a boutique festival in Lancashire, UK that grew out of the Northern Soul scene and has been running as a “proper” festival for the past three years.
The organisers invited myself and my friend Luke Boucher to play Beat-Herder this year in the guise of our mid-90s electronica project UVX, the Ultraviolet Explorer.
This was [...]

Northern Lights XII

What can be more exciting than a new album from First Floor Power? Well possibly the even newer remix album, featuring First Floor Power’s new single The Jacket and four remixes of the same song, plus a remix of their To Do List, by people like Karin Dreijer and Hortlax Cobra (Peter Bjorn and John). [...]

Northern Lights in Russia

What was it we did again, before we had the internet? I know what I didn’t do – I didn’t make Russian cyber-friends on last.fm, who recommended some supercool music (thanks hivr!), which prompted me to scrounge around for more Russian sounds…
So we’ll take a break from the usual Nordic stuff and go to visit our great [...]

Northern Lights X

I’m fully aware it’s a new year, but I’m just not done with 2007; picked up some cool stuff whilst on xmas hols, like The Field’s laidback techno album From here we go sublime and Norwegian DiskJokke’s Staying in. So while we’re waiting for 2008 to materialise we’ll simply start where we left off, with [...]

joyous new endings

…another year over and a new one just begun…
ok, a bit premature, but the yearly spirit of catharsis is in the air, whatever you want to call it. btw, santa, just in case you are passing by this way, here’s top of my wishlist (sorry, i appear to have slumped into gadget-geek mode).
so, moving on swiftly, [...]

exberliner – the cream of music journalism

i’m reading less and less on a regular basis, and today some phantom coffee has kicked in and left me running around doing nothing getting increasingly stressed. maybe the two things are related. maybe it’s the latent caffeine floating around in the french ether.
either way, i’ve just found my cure. thank you d. strauss. tying [...]

Northern Lights VII

Let’s see if this works.. This one should play for 48 mins and 52 secs and if it doesn’t there’s still something dodgy going on.. It’s a bit of this and a bit of that and in particular there’s Lo Fi Fnk and Promise & the Monster.
Tracks:

Steppin out – Lo Fi Fnk

I used to dance [...]
