In the most extreme electronic dance music scenario, new street-oriented impulses are "floating" irresistibly in the air.

'Any new manifestation in culture rewrites the past, turns old criminals into new heroes and old heroes into people who should have never been born. New characters rummage the past to look for precursors, because having roots is legitimate and modern times are suspect, but in any period forgotten characters  ... [ Continue ]

With the 'Uusitalo' nickname, Vladislav Delay agitates a refined mix of dub and minimal techno influences in a superb production characterized by crystal-clear sounds and crisp 4/4 beats, seasoned with oblique glitch and click'n'cut sounds.

On the border separating con men from geniuses there's room for the Teenage Bad Girl, a French duo composed of Guillaume Manbell and Greg Kazubski, described by some critics as a sort of runaway clone of Daft Punk, Aphex Twin and the Stooges.
