Electric Daisy Carnival Set Times Announced

T-Minus 01 Day, 19 Hours, 25 Minutes, 34, Sec..33…32… until the first DJs hit the decks for Electric Daisy Carnival 2010.

Eyelid Movies

Released by Barsuk


Phantogram's debut Eyelid Movies comes across as a shrine to things that sound great on headphones, full of crisp and spry drums, and breathtakingly lush synthesized textures. It could end up pretty awful, right? It could have been music to shop to or something of the sort, but the record treats this richness as reason enough to exist. In Phantogram's soulful blend of pop, hip-hop and electronica, the duo closely recalls TV on the Radio, but by eschewing that band's zeitgeist-humping seriousness, they produce something more direct and, dare I say it, sincere.

Yes, Farrell’s still a part of Satellite Party and Jane’s Addiction, but he’s also integrated a sizeable DJ area at Lollapalooza, performed live with Paul Van Dyk and Moby, played at Cochella under DJ Peretz and has a live electro act with wife Etty Farrell. While it seems surreal to chat blogs and The Bloody Beetroots with a man who’s famous for an extensive rock-based career, make no mistake about it, Farrell knows what he’s talking about. In fact, with every passing day, he’s becoming increasingly entrenched in the dance scene and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business. Here for URB, Perry talks about DJ culture, the future of bands and finding his way in …
