Ninca Leece – There is No One Else When I Lay Down and Dream (Review)

Ninca Leece

There Is No One Else Around When I Lay Down And Dream

Released by Bureau B


Ninca Leece writes, plays, records and produces her own material. It’s electro-pop with deep, throbbing bass, and the French artist flirts with minimal house and glitchy beats on her debut, There is No One Else When I Lay Down and Dream. But with the naive and simple lyrics, it almost sounds like a cheap Euro version of Dani Siciliano. She lists early New Order and My Bloody Valentine as inspirations, but her own vocals are very light-weight.

Holy Ghost!, Jacque Renault, and Marcos Cabral Discuss New Releases, DFA

In an interview over at Anthem, Nicholas Millhiser (of Holy Ghost!), Jacques Renault, and Marcos Cabal discussed their feelings on DJ-ing, new singles in the mix, and their respective projects on the DFA label. The trio had just finished their Diesel:U:Music set at Diesel’s flagship store on 5th Avenue, a new series that featurs artists and other scene makers contributing to the label’s online radio program. Jacques Renault namedropped some new unreleased material, including the new Holy Ghost! single, and a new remix by Runaway (his own project). Nick expained the story behind HG’s “I Will Come Back” and the accompanying video (which, if you recall is a take on New Order’s “Confusion”). Most shocking (if not fascinating) news of all? Nick admitting that Michael McDonald, yes, the Michael McDonald, is contributing vocals …

HOLY GHOST!: Interview

DFA Disco Duo On How To Properly "Use" Records 

Two years is a long time. It’s an especially long time if you spend it waiting for new original music from some or your favorite musical artists. New York disco duo Holy Ghost!, made up of Nicholas Millhiser and Alexander Frankel, understand this, and feel bad for keeping fans waiting. The last (and only) non-remixed material the group released was an iTunes Single of the Week, entitled “Hold On,” in 2007. As a result, the apologetic DFA-signed pair is releasing its next song free via GreenLabelSounds.com on June 24. I sat down with the guys and talked about touring around Europe, transitioning from Hip Hop to disco, and how technology is changing the world of DJing.

RIP Ron Asheton – Founding Stooges Member Found Dead

Iggy and the Stooges remain one of my all time favorites and count as one of the sounds that blew my mind apart and sealed the deal that I would forever be indebted to rocknroll. I’m very sad to report on Ron’s passing…

Ron Asheton, guitarist and founding member of the Stooges, was reportedly found dead at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan this morning. He …

2008 Video Rewind, Part 1 (Video)

Looking back on 2008, it was a good year for filming, and I’m reminded of the both the wiser and dumber things I heard this year. The former was delivered by New Order bassist Peter Hook, who, in an interview with P4k, sussed it out accurately- “I just felt that the way that people do music videos these days, there’s no lingering. You don’t get to watch the performance because it’s so busy cutting and editing to make it look interesting. I just find the whole aspect of that completely self-defeating.”

I couldn’t agree more with this, and I think it’s a generational thing. While mine was the first generation to experience adolescence with MTV, we had a prior frame of reference, whereas the subsequent generation went through their entire development from toddlerhood to adolesecence with MTV, and all …
