Zabiela the Great! Free album for every gig goer!

Zabiela the Great! Free album for every gig goer!

In these challenging, yet exciting times, media visionaries have developed dynamic ways of delivering music away from the traditional methods; Radiohead’s recent digital download scheme of ‘pay what you want’ for their ‘In Rainbows’ album is probably the best and most famous example to date. Now James and Renaissance continue this trend as they release the ‘Masters Series’ with a dynamic, unique approach that’s primed to change the face of current compilations…

So what is it?
James is embarking on a headlining world tour from March 2010 to coincide with the album, at the club shows the compilation will be given…

Deadmau5 guilty of Plagiarism?

Deadmau5 guilty of Plagiarism?

Hello!

I’ll leave it entirely to your discretion, whether this can be considered a publishing-worthy news item. It’s why the subject is complemented with a question mark. The text isn’t probably ready for print as such either. Sorry about that.

Anyway.. It seems that our demoscene group Kewlers has gotten “fanboyed” by Deadmau5 in a fashion slightly too obvious. First up, the Kewlers PC-demo ‘Protozoa’ from 2003:

..followed by Deadmau5′ tune ‘FML’ from his album ‘For Lack of a Better Name’ released last fall:

Egostereo – Paeonia (Review)

Egostereo – Paeonia (Review)

Egostereo’s Renaissance debut presents ‘Paeonia,’ a production collaboration which manages to simultaneously stimulate comfort and unsettling eeriness. Paeonia is a listener’s treat, due to its intricate and multi-dimensional layering evidenced in the track’s progression. Paeonia is a passively energetic production whose moody character reflects the depth of the production duo, and its intellectual atmosphere bears striking resemblance to selected tracks by the likes of Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie and John Digweed. Egostereo’s track is a subdued venture with little established energy and verve. One must become involved in the track to truly appreciate it, and thus the lack of movement-inducing rhythm…
