Dntel - (This is) The dream of Evan and Chan Life is full of possibilities (Plug Research / 2001) With Ben Giddard’s penchant for pop hooks and Tamborello’s ear for crafting intricately accessible and credible pop songs from the most abstract of electronic music soups, ‘evan and chan’ was ripe to be magnificent. The result is a [...]
The Stranger Genius Awards scored a real coup by booking Daedelus (Alfred Weisberg Roberts to his accountant). Since 2001, the LA producer's risen through the IDM/subterranean-hiphop ranks with a prolific stream of releases on excellent labels like Phthalo, Plug Research, Mush, Eastern Developments, and now Ninja Tune for his new Love to Make Music To (album title of the year). Love is Daedelus' most...
Toronto’s Michael Milosh earned his stripes via two warmly received albums for Plug Research, and this latest effort (his first for !K7) finds him in great form.

Continuing our soulful hiphop tour, renowned beatdigger Steve Ellison aka Flying Lotus is soon to have his sophomore album “Los Angeles” out on UK’s Warp. His debut “1983″ on Carlos Nino’s (Ammoncontact / Build an Ark) Plug Research was very well received and so was his “Reset EP” on Warp, which is pure gold!. His [...]
Imagine if there were 2 different bands, Beatles and THE Beatles… or Arcade Fire and THE Arcade Fire… or Radiohead and THE Radiohead. Things would probably get pretty confusing pretty fast, huh? That’s why I was befuddled to read the PR email about “THE WOODS TO OFFER DEBUT ALBUM ON PLUG RESEARCH.” I [...]

Like the 3hive crew, Meanest Man Contest connected in college while involved with the student newspaper. Unlike Meanest Man Contest, we haven't collectively produced any original work (save for a few exceptions). We've spent most of our collective efforts talking up (via the airwaves, a print magazine and CD store—ah, those were the days) our favorite new artists such as Oakland duo Meanest Man Contest....
This album review appears in the newly designed Wireless Bollinger . The long term music project is a rarity in today's furiously churning music industry. With the well defined hype buildup–explosion–backlash cycle established, an artist that's survived for more than a couple years is often the exception rather than the rule. Generally, there are two paths for artists in this category: a strong, steady...
Bob Burnett: Having previously mentioning my enthusiasm for Jimmy Tamborello's Dntel release Dumb Luck , I've begun doing digital forensic research on the guest vocalists he features. One particularly wonderful song, "Rock My Boat" highlights Mia Doi Todd's lovely singing. I searched around and discovered Mia Doi Todd's 2005 album Manzanita and its re-mix follow-up La Ninja: Amour and other dreams...
