  Frak – Erase

  05.20.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  We all know by now about the (re)emergence of Sweden’s Frak in 2012, a trio of strange fish who had managed to fly under the radar of most of the world up until a string of releases last year, most notably on Digitalis and Kontra. So after such a high profile year it was odd [...]

  Bitter Sweet Blues ‘n Black Deers

  05.10.13 | Permalink | 4 Comments

    Even by my standard that headline is a pretty awful attempt at rounding up a few of the releases highlghted in this post. But it’s late at night so whatever. Let’s start with the the bitter so. Mr Scott Grooves has a tendency to appear on the fringes every couple of years before slipping [...]

  Jitterbug in Dublin tomorrow night, Apt00 Repress plus a couple of other tings…

  05.02.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  Tomorrow night sees the Dublin debut of one of ISM’s more stealth operators, Jitterbug. Never one for fanfare, Jitter has quietly been sneaking out some killer music over the last few years, mostly via Uzuri, with his Arcane Theory ep from this time last year being a standout release. He also featured recently on  this [...]

  New Irish Bizness

    Things are tipping over nicely for Irish related action at the moment, be it artists or labels. So here’s a quick rundown of whats a gowan. First up is a new kid on the block from Derry, The Cyclist. With a tape album out in 2011 on Crash Symbols, “Bones In Motion” sees his [...]

  Out now: Bande Apartment – Rita, Kate And You Too

  04.22.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  After many delays (what’s new eh), the latest Apartment 12″ is finally out in the world. Bande Apartment is what we like to call the label’s In-house Disco Mechanics, comprising of Tr One and New Jackson, two (three?) of Ireland’s premier producers of the moment. For this release the label has ventured away from original [...]

  New Detroit Shit

  03.07.13 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  As our newest writer Joseph Hallam discussed in his first post here on infinitestatemachine, the big trend in house music right now is knocking off old 90s New York and New Jersey house music. Last year, instead of the Juno “New Releases” page sounding like Kerri Chandler ripoffs, it was all Larry Heard wannabes. It [...]

  The 483rd Review of 2012

  12.28.12 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  More so than ever this year seems to be rife with end of year lists.  Most decent things have gotten a nod off someone at this stage so maybe this is redundant. Oh well. This is not a definitive list of 2012′s top music (even for me).  I bought less music this year than any [...]

  Pipecock’s Year End Round-Up 2012

  12.21.12 | Permalink | 13 Comments

  It may be hard to believe, but here I am making a post on my blog yet again 2012 was a pretty crazy year for music in my opinion. It always seemed that there were far more cool records than I had money to purchase, so that seems to scream GOOD YEAR to me. Looking [...]

  Emeralds – Just To Feel Anything

  11.06.12 | Permalink | Comment?

  When I first saw Emeralds play live at Unsound back in 2010 my friends and I couldn’t help but notice their performance dynamics. On the right you had the stoic keyboardist, in the middle the pretty boy guitarist with his expressive licks and hair flicking and, most amusingly, on the left, with his back turned [...]

  Louis Haiman, The Trash Company, Tim Maia

  10.20.12 | Permalink | 2 Comments

    Been a while since I’ve posted about records I’ve been buying, and aside from Kenny’s efforts we’ve certainly become pretty slack in that department recently, I blame pipecock for dedicating more time to making music than just talking about it! Anyway, there’s been a few new releases and new reissues that have really impressed [...]
