Last week Bob den Otter unexpectedly passed away. I am extremely sad about this loss, and I want to remember him for the awesome stuff he did.

The actual reason I’m posting this now is their Warp20 website, where people can vote for their favorite Warp Records tracks. I voted and thought I’d clarify my choices here (and who knows, get some people interested in some music they hadn’t heard before). So here it is, 10 tracks released on Warp Records that…

1994. A band called Live releases an album named Throwing Copper. I start hearing I Alone and Selling The Drama on the radio, and am instantly in love. My parents buy me the album for my birthday, and I’m sold. I find out another track I heard on the radio, Lightning Crashes, was actually also…

Since Paradiso in itself is a venue to always look forward to, and Live simply has this special meaning in my life, it’s a complete bonus to be able to attend two shows by Live in a row there. This time, there’s no release out that triggers them to be here, yet the shows will…

Having ripped almost my full CD collection already, and having quite a few classics in my vinyl collection, I was eager to get a huge bunch of those digitized. I just didn’t have a way to do that. Research learned that my initial idea of buying a turntable that had a USB connection wasn’t a…

My first encounter with John Peel was through the Peel Sessions by Autechre, and later again those by Boards of Canada.

For quite a while now, I’ve been running the Electronic Music World magazine. On that website I’ve been publishing news and articles on electronic music, as well as reviews of cd’s and vinyl and the occasional netlabel release. Recently though, I’ve been a big fan of the dutch review website Muzieklog.rommelhok. They offer a short…

Jarvis Cocker, probably best known for his role as lead-singer of the British band Pulp, can also survive on his own. He’s proved that to me by a new single he released, Running The World. I got the track from Bleep for a wonderfully nice price of 1.40 euro and it was worth every penny.…

I only have to survive tomorrow today at work and a free saturday. And then it’s time! I’m very excited about the concert, having seen Live in Paradiso in 1997, which was a very intense experience for me. But tomorrow this evening we have an apetizer already! Ed’s brother Adam Kowalczyk will be playing in…
