Coming up next week are a 4 piece electro/electronica/post rock band from Glasgow. They’ve released two albums so far. I like some of the tracks on the first album, though I am not totally convinced by the album as a whole. Their latest album “Come Down With Me” is a cracker, you should definitely [...]
Some beautiful ambient music to chill you out after the recent sub tropical Amsterdam weather.

I have to admit that I have been mesmerised by the latest Tortoise album, “Beacons of Ancestorship” (their sixth). Its their first release in five years and it goes off like a bomb. At heart an indie outfit the band cross genres with reckless abandon, from Jazz to Rock, Punk to Hip Hop, Dub [...]

The Brainfeeder & Viral Radio party went off like a bomb at Trouw on Friday night. The Gaslamp Killer gave us a blistering Serato DJ set. The man was a manic ball of energy reminiscent of the Tasmanian devil from the Looney Tunes cartoons. He rushed about with such a verbent energy that [...]
Kode 9 and the Spaceape & Juha from Viral Radio/Beat Dimensions
Kode9 is an awesome DJ and when I’ve seen him play he’s always torn up the dancefloor. Kode9 and the Spaceape is a different kind of music project that is not so dancefoor friendly and you rarely get to see them play their own material [...]
On Thursday night we were treated to an evening of exquisite music. During the performance of Jóhann Jóhannsson and his band/ensemble you could literally hear a pin drop in the packed out Kleine Zaal of the Melkweg. At times the music is very quiet, so quiet in fact that I could not take many pictures [...]
