I may have heard to fast to Lana del Rey’s songs or maybe the thing is that the video by Yoann Lemoine does real good to Born to Die, new single from the homonym album by the latest musical sensation because, the very first time I heard it I didn’t pay that much attention...

Catalan guerilla guys, these guys make up a band that came into my soul at the end of the autumn, and have become a reference point when talking about the homegrown music scene.

Comme en un Enfant is the new single coming from the latest album by Yelle, named Safari Disco Club and about which we were talking in here not so long ago. If the one in charge of the styling in the previous video was ironic and funny Belgian designer Jean Paul Lespagnard, the stylings...

Neither do we need...

The good thing about technologies is that, normally, you can switch on and off everything as you wish. Paradoxically, the bad thing is that, sometimes, these technologies seem to be possessed by the devil himself and then they decide to do it -switching on and off- by themselves, escaping from all possible control.

I have friends who could talk for hours and could write articles of 1000’s of words about men like Marco Niemerski, better known as Tensnake since 2006; a musician that manages to make records that sell out within just a few hours of release, leaving no doubt as to his accomplishment.

Let’s add some spice to the party. For many years I’ve been trying to find dance nights that really bring my senses alive, and at times this has backfired on me. Sometimes I have come across nights where the brilliance of the neo-punk pop Dj is literally blinding, the type of nights where you...

I’ve been reminiscing about that feeling that you always get when you fly back into Barcelona and look out at the view through the window of the plane and see all the places you think you recognise. I have to say that the places I never forget are all of the big landmarks, that...

The words on all my friends’ lips at the moment are about the feelings of living in a southern European country with temperatures of 21ºC in early October, whilst the rest of the northern hemisphere is beginning to feel the cold chill that heralds the arrival of Autumn.
I have to confess that the feeling...

Since some days ago Berlin is full of billboards announcing Feist’s comeback with a new album called Metals. I was really looking forward to hearing the latest by this Canada-born singer and songwriter that, since The Reminder already four years ago, left us a little helpless.
