KEVIN AND THE OCTAVES

Image
What kind of band releases a Christmas album before they even release a regular album? One that is playing by its own rules. Kevin and The Octaves is the musical brainchild of two Cincinnatians, Jamie Mandel and Eric Tuffendsam. Both enjoyed previous success playing pop punk, Mandel with The Scrubs and Tuffendsam with Curbsquirrels. Mandel runs Nice Guy Records and Tuffendsam runs Moonlight Studios, and Kevin and The Octaves began as more of a studio band, recording music for placement in TV, film and advertising. As they found success with this, becoming a “real” band followed naturally. “How this band began is an advantage, because we’ve never been hung up on typical band things. We feel like we we can put our influences proudly on display and make music across a wide spectrum of sounds, without worrying about what the music critics think, how many cover songs we do, or how similar or dis-similar the songs are to one another,” says Mandel. The music of Kevin and The Octav

DOCTOR FLAKE

Doctor Flake is a French producer and composer evolving in the Hip Hop/Abstract/Trip Hop styles like a kind of a musical surgeon, a medical expert of musical cutting. His production started in 2001 by developing his own mainly instrumental musical universe based on already existing materials. These various extracts are then thoroughly and accurately dismembered and dissected before being reassembled and rearranged to create a new living track. As a legitimate heir to the sampling madness, his production sometimes seems to be the fruit of a prostitute and a gothic DJ Shadow. While sampling hidden nuggets he exhumed from dubious forgotten EPs, Doctor Flake carries out a both obscure and dazzling sound, combining mental illness and repressed rage making the dis-chordant picturesque. Paradis Dirtyficiels carries on with the work being undertaken with its first opus Intervention Chirursicale and confirms Doctor Flake’s aptitude to set up subtle musical atmospheres, alternately trag

DIE ANTWOORD

Image
Formed in Cape Town, South Africa during Spring 2009,   Die Antwoord   is an   afrikaans futuristic rap rave crew consisting of Ninja   (Watkin Tudor “Waddy” Jones of MaxNormal.TV) and   Yo-Landi Vi$$er .   DJ Hi-Tek   keeps the beats nice and dirty. The majority of their debut album,   $O$ , was released for free on the Internet in 2009 - Ninja also handed out free albums with hand-drawn artwork at live shows called   $O$: Burnt By the Master .   As of Q4 2009, the band were ‘officially’ set to be working with   Magnetron Music   and were due to release a very special, limited-edition package for 2010 featuring the album, a DVD and a book. Die Antwoord’s $O$ Album/DVD/Book package had a European release pending (featuring photography by   Roger Ballen ). But, it is impossible to buy their music anywhere, it seems… This was until   Boing Boing   posted their music video for ‘ Enter The Ninja ’, that they shot ahead of big-name acts on   Google Trends . This, coupled with

THE HEAVY

The Heavy are a soul-influenced indie rock band which formed in Bath, England in 2007. The band consists of Kelvin Swaby (vocals), Dan Taylor (guitar), Spencer Page (bass), Chris Ellul (drums) and formerly, Hannah Collins (keyboards). According to Songfacts, when The Heavy performed How Do You Like Me Now? on Late Night With David Letterman, they so impressed the host that he asked the band to play some more - the first time that’s ever happened on the show. The band claims to be from the village of Noid, England, near Bath. However, no such town exists in England. “Noid” has been suspected of being a pun on the “No ID, No Sale” campaign in pubs in the UK. The core of The Heavy are Swaby and Taylor, who have known each other for a decade. Swaby’s parents were one of the first West Indian families to move to Bath. One of eleven siblings, he grew up surrounded by reggae, Prince and Two Tone as well as the hip hop he embraced so fervently. When he met Taylor they bonded over vinta
