Another great night at the Nest, Dalston with stand out live sets from Karin Park and Age of Consent. I played the warm up set which is great for two reasons 1.) you can play some down-tempo electronica and new disco and keep the club bangers until later and 2.) you have a ringside seat to see the best in new live electric music.

First up were Age of Consent, a two-man take on the modern synth band with some stand-out broody and edgy goth-pop. Norwegian songstress Karin Park headlined and it looked good from the start: the drums were set up with keyboard pedals to play bass and there’s was a vintage Korg MS-20 on stage. Karin and her brother David (Who looked a little like Thor – possibly the norse god of drumming?) played a hybrid of sounds ranging from pop to deep electronica touching on dub-step and danceble euro ballads. Karin’s voice is nothing but impressive sounding like a modern Bjork fused with pop princess Robyn. Worth keeping an eye out for both bands on the live circuit.

I’m a busy kid over the next few months playing some of London’s  most talked about parties. If you would like guestlist for any of the following please get in touch: info@pushmusic.com

Swimming ‘Mining For Diamonds’ Big tense buildups, skewed melodies and moments of heavy electronics underpin their sound.

In a little over three years Bombay Bicycle Club have released three LPs – an extraordinary and increasingly rare feat in the 21st century music industry. From the teenage indie kicks of their debut ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’; to the sparse, timeless folk of last summer’s top ten album, ‘Flaws’ (nominated for an Ivor Novello Award); the quartet open a new and beguiling chapter with, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’, one that cements their place at the very forefront of British bands in 2011.

To view the performance, visit www.bandsintransit.com

“A Different Kind of Fix” will be released through Island Records on 29th August. The album’s first single ‘Shuffle’ is currently available on iTunes and has a killer Balearic remix from Leo Zero

Shindu Happy House

The three members of Shindu are bursting onto the scene for the release of their first EP “Happy House” on June 27th on Kitsuné
Out of the dark and into the blue, two boys and a girl from Belgium collide to create Shindu, a refreshing synth-pop sensation that embodies the challenge to take music into the dawn of a new era !

Happy House is a brilliant and modern cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ classic, the band paying great tribute to their love of late 80s electronica and atmospherics. As for the remixes, performed by Herr Styler, Midnight Savari, Polydor, Jerry Bouthier and Martians.

Peter & the MagicianTwist EP

The union between Yuksek and ex-Aeroplane The Magician gave birth to the explosive duo Peter & The Magician whose first single will be out on Kitsuné on June 20th
Peter and The Magician’s project was first imagined in a studio of the French city of Reims. Both members were highly motivated by a desire to share their experiences and most of all, to find a way to mix their own musical style into a new one.

The title track “Twist” is already available in Kitsuné Maison 11 and has encountered such a huge success among DJs from around the world and electro lovers that it has often been said to be one of the biggest hits of the summer to come! As for the two other tracks, “La Fiorentina” and “Love In Rimini”, they are pretty excellent tributes to their love for Italy.
