only a mere 4 months out (har) it’s always worth a shot at guessing who’s going to grace the many stages at field day for 2011.

in a year that’s been overloaded with new releases both in live dancey band stuff and dj specific anyone could really be heading downunder for a boogie.

last year featured belg duo 2manydjs, the presets, major lazer, the proxy, fake blood and even french house king fred falke.

so who do we think will be there?

Justice – Strong

Pretty strong pick, they are currently in the studio, toted for a late 2010 release and well.. we haven’t heard from the guys in a while and a source says it’s a go-er.

Die Antwoord – Low

South Africa represent! The spliff smoking, in your face, quasi rappers have been touring all over the shop in the wake of the ‘$o$ release. Have been quoted as playing Big Day Out so chances are pretty low.

Aeroplane – Strong

Aeroplane’s album is a whisker away from being released and already scoring some butterfly invoking reviews. They did a quick stint around Australia late late 2009 so it’s about time the now solo vito flew the roost and got back to our sunny shores.

Crystal Castles – Medium

We’ve seen Alice Glass a few times and more recently parklife 09 I think.. but along with a new album comes a new sound and hopefully new levels of total loss of mind.

SebastiAn

Ed Bangers go to man for distortion SebastiAn hinted new material around christmas on the xmas special sampler with ‘Threnody’ a full 13 minutes of noise in some strange tribute to the beginning of sound. Again, with whispers of an album later this year it would be a treat to bring in 2011 with some heavy noise!

4. So Demanding
5. Gone Away

i’m convinced the drums are most definitely cool as fuck… yes profanity just happened.

this went down in brick lane last month, the guys stuck some letters down much like the old glue + coin trick.

looking forward to the side shows and catching them at splendour.

the self titled album is out now.

Ubbs

Just after the release of their Breakbot Remix and announcing the next single ‘We Can’t Fly’ it seems Vito of Aeroplane is now flying solo.

‘Everybody… Thank you for you support messages ! There’s no co-pilot anymore, but i’ll make sure Aeroplane keep flyin…’

Check out the tweet if you don’t believe me.

Maybe they couldn’t fly together?

the hype was phenomenal when the lineup was fed to the masses for the 2010 Splendour in the grass. The few changes this year in venue and length truely have pushed an already fantastic australian music festival even higher.

one of the major change ups is the location, having moved from it’s historical grazing place of byron bay it has jumped and skipped over the boarder to woodford in the somewhat sunny state of qld.

woodford is no stranger to large gatherings of music fans with the annual self titled ‘woodford’ 4 day blues/jazz/roots festival and has proved time and time again of poise and perfection.

update – were not going anywhere, just an april fools for you guys. tons more to come!

sad and lonely people of the interwebs, there is nothing to worry about… luvstep is here.

I didn’t really have a good listen/peek when luvstep was first spied a month or two ago notably with the dirty south / flufftronix mix but Nikolay sent through some in a polite well structured email (hint hint) so thought there couldn’t be any harm having a listen.

Inside were three tracks, fittingly titled ‘Victoria’, ‘Alexandria’ and ‘Olivia’ that gave me a much stronger idea of what luvstep is/was. It sounds like dubstep, acts like dubstep but has a tad more resonance and flesh, little less aggressive compared to raw dubstep and quite enjoyable if you like flat bass.
