Check out the video for Once And For All, a track you probably already knew but that the band is releasing as their next single from the forthcoming album. This is the version that will be featured on the album and video is absolutely brilliant!
Directed by Ben Strebel this little gem is as beautiful as it it is moving and its bound to make you shed a tear:
2012 promises to be a great year for electronic music and in the forefront of innovative new beats is the ever relevant Nueva Forma Label. Recently they signed on 3 new amazing artists and we could not be more excited.

Needless to say that one of this years most awaited releases is Justice‘s AUDIO, VIDEO, DISCO. The album came out October 24th and a second single is already out! As expected, the album does not disapoint even though Justice seems to have gone in a slighly more experimental direction. While cross did not have a beat out of line, AUDIO, VIDEO, DISCO is all bout vocal and instrumental harmony. Maybe fans will be surprised since we do not find the same exquisite groves and heavy rythms that made cross THE dance album of the last decade; jutice is now working strong rock and indie influence into their music and image. Still, what we found in Cross was inovation and beauty and AUDIO, VIDEO, DISCO continues to show us that Justice is still one of the most relevant names in French music.
Listen to the album here!

Check out this charming little video of Ben performing Only Love! While touring in Netherlands he was asked to shoot an acoustic version of track, only to find out during the recordings that a secret flashmob was set up around this recordings and hundreds of people suddenly appeared from the dark to attend the performance. You can definitely feel the love in that street!
Ben Howard: ‘We didn’t realise anyone was coming. I was tired and behaving like a jerk. It was probably one of the craziest things we’ve ever done.’
On a previous post we mentioned that the first official video from the Canadian R’n'B sensation was in the works and well, its finally out!
The track is the last song from House Of Balloons, the first Mixtape by The Weeknd released at the beginning of the year. Speaking of which, the last part of the trilogy of mixtapes announced by the band, Echoes of Silence should be released soon, so keep your heads up for that! In the meantime check out the amazingly beautiful video for The Knowing directed by Mikael Colombu:
Few people noticed that in 2011 Minnesota native John Maus released an album that explored a well established field of nostalgic electriopop eclectica. Things changed when the album started getting a fraction of its deserved airplay and the fact that the field is populated by some rather remarkable names in no way took away any merit for what is a stunning and unique set of extremely pleasing synth rifs layered over vocal layers reminiscent of Georgio Maroder and German industrial techno. His 2011 release is called We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves and is however just the latest collection of brilliant and ethereal low-fi songs.
