abc.net.au: "Strong language alert! Rosie Beaton gets dirty with the queen of the Berlin scene, PEACHES. PEACHES has been making her obscene electro for a decade and in that time has managed to offend just about everyone. This mixtape of hits, remixes, collaborations and more. It's not for the faint of heart." Listen here
The Wire 236: Rapper and producer Brendon Whitney (aka Alias) is a member of California's prolific indie HipHop collective, Anticon, which has amassed an impressive catalogue of work over the past five years. The predominantly instrumental "Beginagain" is taken from his third solo album, Muted (Anticon), and sees Whitney developing a strain of electronica reminiscent of Boards Of Canada and early Aphex Twin, albeit one underpinned by those foggy, downtempo beats familiar from so many Anticon releases.More info and 3 mp3 downloads
Words sometimes fail Carla Bozulich. That would incapacitate most singer-songwriters, but the former frontwoman of Ethyl Meatplow and Geraldine Fibbers has the taste and tools to turn such a seeming shortfall into an artistic asset. Although she hadn't recorded a band album since the final Fibbers CD, the result is a masterpiece in its own right, driven by Bozulich's powerful vocals and fleshed out by the innovative guitar work of Nels Cline and a postmodern country/jazz/rock band that includes violinist Jenny Scheinman, bassist Devin Hoff and drummer Scott Amendola.
Marc Weiser (the man behind the music) and Lillevaen (the man behind the visuals) provide deep aquatic techno and raspy electronic hip hop under the name Rechenzentrum. Besides gracing the decks on a regular basis, Weiser also promotes the extremely popular Berlin club Maria Am Ostbahnof. As Rechenzentrum, he has remixed tracks for Tarwater, Laub, and Elektronauten. Weiser is also one-half of DJ and producer team Le Hammond Inferno (signed to Bungalow) who themselves have remixed Saint Etienne, Pizzicato Five, Balanco, and Fantasic Plastic Machine. More
Yes, it is true that the Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist likes to sing about sex. It is also true that her combination of deliciously minimalist electronic beats and power-chord stadium rock fuse together to make music that is sincerely unlike anything else you'll hear on the planet.
Throw all preconceived notions out the window as you step into the sleazy, dissonant, oddly compelling world of Peaches. The Canadian musician, born Merrill Nisker, has really created a sound all of her own, with the help of her trusty Roland MC505 Groovebox (she calls it MC5 for short). The machine provides the beats and effects, all of which are rather minimal and are often menacing and abrasive, sometimes totally cheesy. Peaches' voice does the rest of the work, ranging from raw PJ Harvey-like punk angst to hard, sexually explicit almost Missy Elliot-style raps. All this makes for an eclectic sound, which features elements of rock and roll, hip hop, and electronic music, but definitely fails to qualify as any of the above. More
