reviews: Evy Jane says so (single)

by fancypunk

We recently have hosted two features concerning the Canadian label King Deluxe. Two interviews: one with the people of the label and one interview with Aleph, a new impressive artist from Russia. We have received also few of the releases of the label, among those releases, there is also the single of Evy Jane “says no” . Evy Jane “says no” according an article on  RA  is the very first vinyl release of King Deluxe. Evy Jane are the duo from Vancouver  (singer/keyboardist Evelyn Jane Mason and beatsmith Jeremiah Klein). “The vocals of Evelyn  on “Says so” in combination with a very proper post dubstep inspired sound makes a very exceptional result. The dark atmosphere and sensuality of this release is definitely the main impression you get at first. Besides the original version, on this release you may also find interesting the two remixes by two artists from Vancouver scene named Max ulis and Taal Mala. A highly recommended release from us today. You can buy it here as well as having an audio preview http://kingdeluxe.ca/evy-jane-self-titled/

best clubs of 2011 (what the shituationist readers voted)

by fancypunk

Few weeks ago, we asked our readers to vote for the best club of the year.We would like to thanks everyone who participated to this. Readers worldwide , from countries such as Netherlands, United Kingdom, Greece, Germany, Australia, South Korea, USA, Canada, France, Japan, Poland, Austria and more.

the 5 Best club of the year according the majority of the people who answered are:

1) Berghain (Berlin)

Berghain/Panorama bar close to the Berlin wall, the name is taken from the two big city districts. The club is located in a former power plant in Friedrichshain, behind the Berlin Ostbahnhof railway station. The building is distinguished by its enormous dimensions, which accommodate an 18 meter high dancefloor and space for 1500 guests, and also its minimalist interior design, dominated by steel and concrete. The best djs and artists of contemporary electronic music, especially techno and house  from this planet are often guests of Berghain. Events like SUB:STANCE of Scuba is definitely remarkable. You can read an interesting article about berghain by example magazine

 

 

2) Corcica studios (London)

CORSICA STUDIOS is an independent arts organisation that sets up and develops creative spaces in areas of London.  Over the last six years we have become a much-loved and respected club, live music and arts destination for discerning clubbers and music lovers. We are home to many of the capital’s finest events, parties and club nights and constantly represent the best in left-field and underground music and talent. http://www.corsicastudios.com/

 

 

3) about blank (Berlin)

About blank is a rather new club, located in the east Berlin side. It runs by a collective and hosts many left wing projects and parties such as Love techno Hate Germany

This venue remains one  of our best-beloved destinations for the shituationist institute team and friends. We spent loads of weekends in this place as well as we involved in many parties organized by us and friends. The official page of about blank is http://aboutparty.net/

 

 

4) Pratersauna (Vienna)

I was never been there. But few people mentioned this venue in Vienna.Im using the description from their website.This former sweat’n’bang wellness center surrounded by the peaceful Prater greens is an old-school Viennese institution (1965), still unspoiled by its original architecture and its dubious reputation. Its minimalistic space combining 60’s charm with contemporary interior and art design is set up as a ‘micro cosmos’ for creative communities. The official webpage http://pratersauna.tv/site/

 

 

 

 

5) La macarena (Barcelona)

This is an other unknown venue in Europe for us. According Resident Advisor : Intimate techno club right in the heart of Gotico. Regular label nights and a DJ who spins virtually in the middle of the dancefloor. Nice crowds and open every day of the week.

by mnanotek

Today’s free download is a track by oOoOO’s forthcoming EP Our Loving Is Hurting Us. This is going to be San Francisco’s oOoOO second release on Tri Angle Records, which really stood out in 2011. Bitter sweet ambiance, nicely crafted production &  Butterclock’s eery vocals definitely make it another essential release by oOoOO.
