We were given the opportunity to shoot Modeselektor a few questions during the final few days of their tour across North America. – DID: You produced Monkeytown entirely together in the studio in one session over the course of ten weeks.

Jensen Sportag – The Wet Mix
-
May 9th, 2011
The lovely people at Cascine have asked us to premiere Jensen Sportag‘s Wet Mix, a companion to their phenomenal Pure Wet EP. The Wet Mix features the essential themes from Pure Wet, recast in detailed miniatures and varnished in high gloss for a sound and feel that’s ornately wet. I was given the opportunity to shoot Elvis and Austin a few questions while they were in the final stages of [...]

You must check out the first Chinoiseries and Long Distance if you haven’t [...]

We were given the opportunity to speak with BBC Radio 1′s Gilles Peterson about Worldwide, a retrospective compilation he released earlier in the week. There were just too many good questions to edit into one article, so we’re throwing rest of Granneh‘s interview in our review of the album tomorrow.

Mountain Man Interview
-
September 11th, 2009
I feel as if I am floating. I am waiting suspended in the internet for the three lovely ladies from Mountain Man to contact me. I am a little nervous, it feels a bit like a blind date with someone you already know. Mountain Man was formed earlier this year at Bennington College (alma mater!), and have been getting some great press. They went on tour this summer, and I [...]
