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.

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.
Two tickets are available for giveaway to the New York show at Le Poisson Rouge, on 9/8/10, from 10pm – 4am. Give us a shout if you’re interested. They won’t be around for long. gone.
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.
