New Music :: Hot Chip Remixes, Hercules and Love Affair Album

A couple of big announcements from two groups that pretty much represent the gold standard for dance music these days. Assuring that the fall will be a good place on the blogs and the dance floor.

Hot Chip will be releasing the We Have Remixes EP on September 7th for Astralwerks. Included in the package is psychedelic specialist Caribou, retro-house man of the moment Todd Edwards, criminally underrated Ghostly International producer Osborne nad UK new jacks Hot City.

Meanwhile, the president of all things gay house/disco Andy Butler has readied the second full-length by Hercules and Love Affair with a couple of new names, Venezuelan singer Aerea Negrot, and Shaun J. Wright (who Butler randomly met at an H&LA show in NYC) joining known factors Kim Ann Foxman and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke.

Todd Edwards: From Jersey To London, We Can All Groove With It

New Jersey's finest talks about the past, present and future. 

Todd Edwards is a living legend to some, an icon to many. His contributions to electronic music have ranged from putting some of the most lovely vocals into some memorable tracks, to remixing some of the biggest artists around…he’s been there, done that. Did I mention that he was the vocalist on Daft Punk’s “Face To Face” off of Discovery? He’s appreciated by so many and credited by the general consensus as the reason for UK Garage’s existence. Some say there would never have been a dubstep evolution without him. In the end though, he’s a man who loves his closest friends and family, his home and wholeheartedly appreciates the impact that faith has made in his life. Todd took time out of his day to answer some questions for us and of course, his responses did not disappoint. (Check …

FLASHING LIGHTS with Todd Edwards & Kingdom

UK Garage, Rave Juice and Dim Sum. The Friday night trifecta of glory. 

One of New York City’s most rave-tastic parties, FLASHING LIGHTS, is going strong once again with a lineup that will crush househeads into oblivion. New cat KINGDOM has been gaining steam on the blogosphere for a while now, with a fantastic mix on Discobelle and some amazing trance-fried grimey/juke house riddims, he’ll be tearing up the floor a new one. But that’s not all… UK Garage GODFATHER (and Jersey native) Todd Edwards is also in the building! Most people know Todd as being the vocals behind Daft Punk’s “Face To Face” off their album Discovery, but Todd has been making tracks for a while and without his influence in electronic music culture…there might not have been an evolution towards dubstep or whatever the music’s called nowadays. Oh and you’ll also see the fabulous resident DJs: Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold), DJ …

FaltyDL: Sleep-Deprived Soul Shuffle

The sound of New York provided by Barbara Streisand? 

4AM is a time to sleep for most, getting back home from a long night for some, or staggering back to the bar for last call for a chosen few. But for others, it’s time to get to work. FaltyDL is one of those late-night/early-morning workhorses; making tunes from the depths of his mind and getting it onto an iMac at odd hours of the day and night, just trying to figure out what to do with samples, synths and shuffles once he’s in the zone. Drew Lustman, the man behind the moniker, carries on his days by listening to new tunes, tweeting over new releases and old-school hip-hop, eating Chinese food on internet broadcasts and proudly proclaiming his appreciation for ’90s jungle and Aphex Twin. But …
