Pierre LX – Out 1 (Review)

Pierre LX

Out 1

Released by Initial Cuts


London-based, Paris-born and Brazil-raised Pierre LX is ready with his debut album Out 1. He learned how to make music on a cheap keyboard, and he was DJ’ing on a laptop already in 2002. He’s now done a reverse evolvement and only plays vinyl. He does regular sets at Fabric, and you can hear heavy hints of UK Bass in his productions. Out 1 consists of eight pieces that were improvised on machines in his home studio, and each track was recorded as a continuous live take, using hardware only. ...

Q&A with Nicolas Jaar

International wonderboy Nicolas Jaar just released his debut album Space Is Only Noise. It has his signature sound, but is still not exactly what you expected.  At the top of his game, we had a sweet little Q&A about his musical vision, comparisons with James Blake and crowd reactions.

URB: Your new record is one step to the side compared to your previous productions, even though it’s in the same vein and it has your signature. Did you want to surprise your audience?

Nicolas Jaar: No. I simply wanted to give a very honest vision of what was going through my mind in the past year. What came out of that was the album. Usually what people hear first from an artist is the poppiest stuff. Just because in order to get noticed you can’t make difficult experimental music. I think …

Derrick Carter Interview + Live Set Stream (MP3)

The last time URB ran into Derrick Carter, he was buying shots for a crowd of people at Berlin’s Panorama Bar following his own set at neighboring club, Weekend. Most touring DJs with two decades experience behind the decks head home after their sets, but not our man DC, which might go a long way to explain why he’s still one of the best party starting jocks on the house music circuit. Derrick never forgot how to party himself. URB talked to the Chicago legend on the cusp of releasing his first mix for Fabric, and he even gave us an exclusive recording of a recent live set at Shelter for you to enjoy while reading.

xxxy Exclusive Mix (Podcast)

xxxy

Exclusive Mix


To start the year off right, URB has brandished a new look on every podcast, with invigorating and simplistic values that represent what we have in terms of our mixes. To start with that message, we begin with a mix from Rupert Taylor a.k.a. the elusively brilliant xxxy. Peeking his way into the hearts of many with his tunes released on labels such as Fabric, Infrasonics and Mindset, he’s become a sought-after DJ to pair up with his fantastic tracks. What’s intriguing about his mix for URB is that one would never expect someone previously rooted in 140BPM beats (now sitting around 130BPM) to put out a mix as diverse and as immersive as this one. Truly an impressive way to usher in the new year.
