What I like... Niyaz - Parishaan

10:12 PM
Struggle as a metaphor is something every human can relate to. One of the most prolific and challenging forms of struggle in the world today is the plight of ethnic and religious minorities, which is the topic of Niyaz’s third album, Sumud (pronounced soomood) forthcoming on Six Degrees Records. Translating from Arabic as ‘steadfastness,’ lead singer Azam Ali chose this philosophical term as a symbolic reminder that, as she explains, ‘every human being should inherit the right to live with dignity and freedom upon the land on which they are born.’ With a heavier emphasis on the electronic side of their sound and a special guest vocal appearance from Oscar-winning Indian composer, musician and singer AR Rahman, Sumud is the most powerful release yet from one of global fusion's most popular bands.

Light Asylum - Heated Cinematic Synth Punk

11:18 PM





Light Asylum are Shannon Funchess and Bruno Coviello from Brooklyn, New York, USA.


Having spent years touring and performing as synth pop project The Dreamies, Coviello channels a different strand of influence and completes the LIGHT ASYLUM sound alongside Funchess. The result is an uncompromising, rugged mixture of coldwave, EBM and electro-industrial structured through pop of the toughest sensibilities. A LIGHT ASYLUM production straddles underground electronic club music and radio song culture – part introverted, aggressive vehicles, part bright, jubilant fanfares – passages of carefully devised harmony and melody bloom between stabs of driving keyboards and drum machines.


They released their first EP “In Tension” in 2010. The four track EP was re-released in 2011 through Mexican Summer and licensed to Cooperative Music


The self-titled debut album is scheduled for release in May 1, 2012.

HighasaKite - Norwegian Pop with a twist

9:51 PM


HIGHASAKITE by Riot Factory



HighasaKite make songs unlike most things yet to come out of Norway. Keyboards, zither, pounding drums and the occasional noise guitar together with Ingrid Helene’s distinctive voice makes a delicious blend of exciting indie pop inspired by artists such as Lykke Li and the movie Where The Wild Things Are. 



Highasakite’s debut album “All That Floats Will Rain” has received rave reviews throughout the Norwegian press, some even calling it album of the year (Dagbladet) and saying that “No song on this album is redundant, it’s all brilliantly brought to life. This, ladies and gentlemen, is pop music!”


Highasakite is playing many of Norways biggest and most important festivals this summer, amonst them Øya and Hove, in support of their debut album ‘All That Floats Will Rain’, out February 3rd 2012, on Norwegian indie label Riot Factory.
