Thievery Corporation returns with their sixth original studio album Culture of Fear! Following up their incendiary and bombastic call to arms Radio Retaliation from 2008, this time around Eric Hilton and Rob Garza craft a simmering and hazy collection of atmospheric gems that recalls their early production work but reflects a thoroughly contemporary zeitgeist of socio-political angst and unease.
Utilizing a team of skilled session players from their acclaimed live show and beyond, Culture of Fear finds the duo easing into expansive multipart space-jams like "Tower Seven" and jazzy instrumental b-boy breaks like "Light Flares." Not only are usual suspects like multilingual chanteuse Lou Lou and dancehall toaster Sleepy Wonder back to lend their haunting vocals, but several new contributors also join the Corporation.
Renowned hip-hop MC Mr. Lif blazes the microphone on the title track "Culture of Fear" with a scathing flow that aims to uplift and enlighten as it does burn down babylon! Rising star Ras Puma also drops mystic incantations on "False Flag Dub" and the slow burning roots reggae throwback "Overstand." It's not all fire and brimstone however, as Shana Halligan of Bitter:Sweet coos sultrily over booming tribal rhythms on "Is it Over?", and newcomer Kota lends angelic and sprightly verses on album closer "Free."

Within and Without is the new full-length from Washed Out.
Released: July 12, 2011

This new studio album features once again prestigious and talented artists : Noémi, the singer of the band Zimpala (that you discovered on the Hotel Costes 9), is the sweet voice of "Ghosts & Roses", the first single extract from the album. The warm voice of Anthony Bambury has impressed Stéphane Pompougnac on the song "Hello Mademoiselle", which reminds the greatest of the american soul music, and giving his name to the album. The hip-hop slam of "Mondes Parallèles" is sung by the newcomer Ného and, as a special guest, Alain Chamfort, one of the best french singers for almost 30 years, offers his voice to the song "Ingrate". The other interprets featuring on the album are Tiger Lily (Better Days), Linda Lee Hopkins (Here's To You), Fred Cotegahh (Just To Love You), and his intimate friend Charles Schillings (Sunday Drive), the famous French DJ and house producer. For Stéphane Pompougnac, this second album is the perfect way to communicate his artistic sensitivity to all the music lovers, whether they listen to the Hôtel Costes compilations or not, in the lands of french pop, hip-hop and of course electronic music, that he composes and produces with his feeling and the elegant fluidity that makes his brand. 2007.

又一改编自吉卜力音乐的作品！

来自日本静冈县的DJ Okawari的专辑《Kaleidoscope》。本张专辑于今年6月29日正式发行，是Okawari的第三张个人专辑，他的曲风大多以jazz-hippop和chill-pop为主。
由这张专辑的封面也可以看出作品的风格，Okawari习惯使用钢琴、电子音以及必不可少的鼓点，再加上一点点人声，便能塑造出空灵自然的唯美环境。听这首专辑的时候最好是在午后，一个人戴上耳机然后静静欣赏，最好还能有一杯咖啡.如果今天你被匆忙的工作和节奏弄得疲惫不堪，那么这张专辑就能够将你领向chill out。花、美人，人与宁静的自然完美结合在一起，带给你一个美好的夜晚

Highly anticipated 2010 debut album from the purveyors of boundary shattering Electro. Crystal Fighters' music melds Animal Collective toned delicacy with Soulwax inspired rave. This stunning collection of songs explores the themes in their singer Laure's grandfather's writings, which are the main inspiration for their music and the reason the band exist today.
水晶战士的首张唱片,像个童话故事,音乐如同封套,天真,迷幻,内敛又疯狂,巴斯克民谣风格融合跳跃电气氛围.
Crystal Fighters来自西班牙巴斯克地区Navarre,成员有五人(Sebastian, Laure, Mimi, Gilbert, Graham),据说这张唱片的创作灵感源自主唱Laure已故去祖父的日记,上面记载着一些关于音乐及乐队的构想与创意,于是五人决定来实现它.无论真假与否,Crystal Fighters的音乐的确充满着个性与灵气.
《Star Of Love》是一张很有趣味性的唱片,有稳重的暗色音乐基调,同时极具空间和画面感.Crystal Fighters将电气,朋克,民谣等统统混杂其中,构思虽然层次丰富,纹路却又单纯明朗,加上轻快的吉他拨奏,不羁的电气节拍,自顾自的吟唱和一些空旷的回音聚焦,绘出粉彩流光的音乐章节.内容随意涂鸦,能听到大自然特有的柔软,实验电子味的都会夜啪嚏广告,车库宣泄,纯真歌谣,80代欧舞....逐个找找看吧,有没有你喜欢的那颗糖~

來自英國倫敦的樂隊 The xx 用他們的首張專輯《xx》驚艷四座，開篇一曲《Intro》便以獨特的重覆結他 riff 奠定了專輯基調：幽靜而略帶哀愁的節拍，淡然且迷蒙飄忽的唱腔，再加上詩意盎然的詞句，為聽眾勾勒出一系列冷洌的畫面。《VCR》中由空靈清響的前奏漸入，淺唱愛情的甜蜜；而在《Heart Skipped a Beat》中則以增強了的節奏帶動聽者脈搏，以簡約風格彰顯複雜情緒。

Climbing to New Lows是一张小样，严格意义上讲是MGMT（当时叫做The Management）的第一张全长专辑，同时也是乐队以The Management的名义发行的最后一张作品。
乐队在2004年更名为MGMT并与独立厂牌Cantora Records签约发行了他们的首张正式EP《Time to Pretend》（2005年1月1日）。
《Climbing to New Lows》内的曲目多是小样，本无发行计划，但于2005年外泄流传到网络。这张专辑中同时还包含乐队在2004年独立发行的EP《We (Don't) Care》中的部分曲目。
乐评人Andrea Domanick通过Tiny Mix Tapes Reviews表示，《Climbing to New Lows》“是一张关于大学生活的精彩小样，十分抓耳，一听就会理解哥伦比亚唱片的头头们为什么会签下他们。无论是音乐还是歌词都显示出十足的纯真和诚意（a catchy demo set from their undergrad days—will make anyone see what attracted the bigwigs at Columbia in the first place. With music and lyrics centered around innocence and sincerity...）”。

MGMT is a psychedelic synthpop group formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, NY. The band consists of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Ben Goldwasser (vocals, keyboards, synths, drums), both alumni of Wesleyan University.
Electronic Indie Dance Rock began as a thesis project from music majors at Wesleyan University. They used to be known as “the management” with songs about not quite growing up and a lot of nonsense. They are known for playing shows with only an ipod and some mics.
Andrew Vanwyngarden, one of the MGMT figureheads, is currently collaborating with of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes, with plans to release a record in 2008 under the name Blikk Fang. MGMT was on tour with Of Montreal late in 2005 and VanWyngarden has been appearing on stage during some performances on Of Montreal’s summer 06 tour.
MGMT are currently touring the US with Yeasayer.

Parov Stelar真名Marcus Füreder，1974年出生在奥地利的林茨。自2000年以来用各种艺名发行了制作了很多音乐，04年开始用Parov Stelar此名，就此开始慢慢走向成功之路。09年新专辑《Coco》曲风复杂多变，定义为电子融合乐较贴切些。
