In The Mix
SebastiAn – A Fine Selection of Remixes (Ed Banger Records/Because Music) October 27th, 2008 4.2/6.0 Finally, a full length album from SebastiAn, a full four years and three EPs down the road from being signed to Ed Banger. But wait! Closer inspection reveals it’s not an album of the artist’s trademark grinding electro, rather a [...]
SebastiAn – Motor EP
SebastiAn – Motor EP (Ed Banger) May 30th, 2008 5.2/6.0 This latest three-track EP from the man rapidly becoming Ed Banger’s media darling has a lot to live up to after his previous efforts such as Ross Ross Ross, Walkman and the list of remixes as long as his arm including last year’s gem Killing [...]
Lose Yourself…
The Music Academy 2, Manchester Friday, May 16th 2008 A huge sense of anticipation had mounted within me in the days prior to this gig, anticipation of how The Music might have grown since their mind-blowing show at The Apollo at the tail end of 2004. Back then, garage rock was still at large but [...]
Justice – DVNO
Justice – DVNO (Ed Banger Records / Because Music) May 12th, 2008 3.2/6.0 It’s almost a full year since the release of Justice’s critically-acclaimed debut album Cross, and even longer since it was impossible to escape the mischievous falsetto of D.A.N.C.E. all across the nation’s airwaves.

Kill Or Be Killed
The Kills Academy 3, Manchester Saturday, April 19th 2008 The Atlantic-spanning twosome that is The Kills have been relatively prominent in the press in recent months, though not nearly enough of the writing has been about their music – such is the price a band pays when one of its members, Jamie Hince, is the [...]
Potential To Please
Operator Please The Roadhouse, Manchester Wednesday, March 5th 2008 It’s a chilly midweek evening and barely a hundred punters have made their way to The Roadhouse for this all ages gig, so as Operator Please step onstage just after 8pm, there’s little atmosphere and yards of space at the back. Yet these five young upstarts [...]
Justice Is Done (Once Again…)
Justice (NME Awards Show)
Academy 1, Manchester
Thursday, February 7th 2008
It’s evident from the mix of faces in the crowd that Justice have brought electronic music to the masses; hoardes of mid-teenage girls who quite probably still go home and listen to Britney Spears stand next to middle-aged men reminiscing about their acid-house days of the ‘80s. The only thing dividing the two tonight is the way they dance.
…And Justice For All
Justice Academy 1, Manchester Tuesday, December 4th 2007 Tonight, the Academy 1 stage looks a little different to its typical gig set-up. No drum-kit or microphone-stands - not visible at least - because they are there for tonight’s headliners CSS, but they’re hidden in the rear by the stack of amps and decks which lines [...]
