An original composition by Sepalcure will be featured in Darren Aronofsky’s forthcoming film, “Black Swan.” Sepalcure is an electronic music duo made up of Machinedrum — one of our favorite and frequently mentioned electronic musicians — as well as Praveen Sharma who is another seasoned electronic musician. So, we’re amped about hearing this soundtrack and think Natalie Portman is awesome(watch her performance in The Professional if you haven’t already) and are interested to see how she fares against her nemesis in the film: Mila Kunis.

Mila Kunis in a sporty looking car. Why not?
At any rate, ballerinas are an interesting to us. One of our staff members went to high school directly across the street in Center City Philly from a dormitory full of ballerinas working for The Pennsylvania Ballet. So, we could discuss at length some of the drama, emotional hell and competitive struggles that we know dancers can go through in their careers, but we’ll spare you the details. Of course, Black Swan is dramatized for entertainment value, but we’re always up for a new psychological thriller if the subject is right. This time, the subject is definitely right. Music and audio are such a huge part of any film for us, and when an artist we know makes it onto a film score, well that’s always just luscious for the entertainment experience.
Jimmy Edgar’s forthcoming Perfexxxion US Tour starts this coming Thursday, 9/2/10, in Vancouver at Shine. Jimmy has played and toured with acts such as Boys Noize, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, Jamie Lidell, and more.

Freaking out about the latest from Buff1, entitled Ghosting.
Ghosting is broken down by Buff1′s label / marketing group as follows,
a project that gives listeners insight on the types of artists and music that inspires Buff1. Giving himself one week to write original material, Buff1 created this free project to be released into the blogosphere. Choosing songs that coincidentally had space for Buff1 to spit, none of the original songs have been edited.
Buff felt there were obvious similarities between the music on this project and one of his favorite Ghostface songs “Holla”; on which Ghost raps over the entire Delfonic’s song “La-La Means I Love You”. Ghosting also happens to be a game where one person follows behind another, mimicking their movements as closely as possible, without being detected.
The Ghostface homage, combined with Buff1 trying his best to follow in the footsteps of the artists who inspired him to write this project, made the title obvious. Lastly, don’t sleep on the exclusive bonus track “Better” produced by Slot-A.
Okay so we’re feeling all of the tracks on the release, but the bonus track is what inspired us to get on this. Buff1 has this habit of releasing songs every few months that get us all amped-up and excited. Get that spine-tingling sensation popping because you just discovered a track you like. We’re going to host the entire free release, both for streaming and downloading, but we strongly urge you to peep the track “Better.” Such a dope idea to take lyrics from Phoenix’s “Fences” and put it in some super cute digitally processed female sounding vocals.

First thing’s first, we love exciting artists. Born is exciting to us. Venturing into new, refreshing and explosive areas of hip hop & electronica from the flows to the instrumentals. When we listen to Born I Music, it’s as though Tupac Shakur has passed and been reborn as “The Born Identity.”
We’re not all that spiritual, but Born I Music inspires us to get our meditation on more and to truly “meet ourselves.” We think that if you took Shakur, Ghostface, Kanye, Kid Cudi & The Clipse, put them in a blender and applied some of what Born’s production team (Godfather Sage, Imani Beats, & several others) calls “Afro-Asian Electro-Hop”, you’ve gotten a taste of what this man is doing.
On the heels of his latest release “THE BORN IDENTITY MIXTAPE” which you can download free here. We sat down with Born to learn about the man behind the music, his dad’s cooking and how Born manages to create bass-heavy, spine-tingling songs that just make you want to max out your car system and bob your head. Get Familiar.
Born I Music: You rang? Yo. What’s poppin’ G?
Hipsterwave: Not too much. I’ve actually been listening to your new album for like the past few hours non-stop. We also tweeted about it.
Born I Music: [laughs] Cool. Okay, no doubt. You caught it to the end?
Diesel and Katy Perry have teamed up on her forthcoming “California Gurls” music video, to unveil the hottest custom made daisy-dukes the golden coast has ever seen!
The “California Gurls” track finds Perry – who has just been named #1 in Maxim’s 2010 Hot 100 List – raving about Jeeps, gin and juice, bikini-tops and daisy-dukes.
