Brand new gem by London’s Get People. Fantastic little work of art. Let them take you to Venus and Mars. Would be rude not to. A new EP will be out early 2012. Stay tuned. And grab them on Poule d’Or 8 while you’re at it.
It’s been a wild year 2011 for Canadian bon vivant and mastermind producer Drew Harris aka Germany Germany. After releasing no less than four (4!!) albums last year, one better than the other, he spent this year touring all relevant parts of Europe. Life of a rock star.
It came at a price though. Burnt out at young age, he announced an indefinite creative pause to the Germany Germany project. What will be his last album for now, a re-edited version of his third album Radiowave II, will be out on bandcamp December 15th. For free.
Find his good-bye-blog-post with links to all of his releases here. On the one hand it’s easy to say this is all a bit sad, but then again over the course of two years Drew has constantly over-delivered and released more high quality music than most artists will in a lifetime. Thank you and come back soon, Bro.
The amazing Dylan Khotin-Foote formerly known as Kumon Plaza shared a track for mini-compilation 2.5 back in the days. He now goes by the name of Happy Trendy and happens to be touring relevant parts of Europe for the past two weeks with Foxes In Fiction. On Monday they’ll finish the tour off with a big show at Hamburg’s prestigious Astra Stube!

Found this little gem by Golden flapping through my inbox. Toronto-born David Adusei draws from modern dance as well as West African influences and creates this magical soul’ish disco sound on his new EP entitled Desirée. Check track 2, Destinee, below. The EP is out for free on bandcamp.
