Canadians seem to be really good at making this sort of music. I really like all of Loscil's albums on Kranky, hazy ambient with a 4/4 beat, Submers is a must hear. Another favorite of mine in that vein is Ultramarin by Jetone (aka Tim Hecker). Some other artists I'd recommend: Jesse Somfay The Sigh...

I'm still struggling to find some improv in Calgary... And you will continue to struggle...very little interesting music (arts of any kind) in Calgary. City full of redneck cowboys and oil execs. Pretty much sums up Alberta in general. The closest thing you'll get to experimental music is the occas...

I'm really surprised how awesome this album is, a great listen all the way through.

I've never been unhappier to be an Oilers fan. Totally lackluster play from everyone (including Hemsky), an unfireable coach, and no goaltender for next year. Yet somehow they're still in the playoff picture, the Western Conference after the top 4 teams (and maybe Columbus and Vancouver) is atrociou...

Have to agree with Jon. The Sleeping Bag Sessions is great, probably my favorite collection of his disco stuff, the most dancefloor-friendly as a whole as well. I'd love a "Kiss Me Again" vinyl reissue, but that's probably still a ways off. On a related note, Polmo Polpo's cover of "Kiss Me Again" (...

First off, this thread is awesome. There are literally hundreds of dubstep releases coming out each month now, and finding the quality ones has always been difficult. The new Skream 12", Heddbanger, is definitely more dancefloor-oriented than most dubstep I've heard, especially the b-side, Precressi...

A night of ridiculously long dance tracks:


The Orb - Blue Room (clocking in at 40 minutes)


Ricardo Villalobos - Minimoonstar (31 minutes)

Mudboy - Hungry Ghosts! These Songs Are Doors

Probably the worst acting I've ever seen. A script written in broken English by an Italian, and then performed in broken English by American actors. Goblins living in Nilbog. Incredible.

I've said it before, but I can't even imagine the torture of watching one of these games with a serious rooting interest. It's really amazing that tens of thousands of hockey fans don't die of heart attacks every May. I can barely watch an Oilers game in the regular season, let alone the playoffs, ...

I'm a huge fan of Fabric mixes, but hardly ever check out the FabricLive sets, the song selection never seems to be as adventurous on the Live series as on the regular Fabric series. That being said, I'm a big fan of the Live mixes by Diplo, John Peel, and Jacques Lu Cont. Avoid the Spank Rock mix, ...
