Great to hear Bernard Sumner’s voice on a track again.

Doesn’t this track just throw you back to the days of 90’s Trip Hop. Digging this track with the dissonant piano chords over some rough electronics beats and distortion.
Trip Hop group Milique are from Melbourne, Australia and are made up of James Murfet & Roni Shewan.
milique is james murfet & roni shewan. it’s trip hop, it’s simple; and maybe you can dance to it. expect soothing minimal lows, happy grooves, bass heavy angst and a bit of fun.
james has been hacking around with music and computers since the 90’s. one-time industrial act, james has chilled over the years and now enjoys making downbeat, trip-hop and a bit of minimal/techy stuff. in milique he plays keys and clicks a mouse occasionally. check out his website
roni’s sweet but powerful voice has unpretentiously been rockin’ the melbourne scene in a variety of genres for a number of years. her sincere songwriting and jazz-inclined vocal style soars full flight in milique. check out her myspace.
Ok, this track just floored me the first time i heard it (actually, i saw it / heard it since it was a music video on LOGO). Anyway, Logan Lynn is from PORTLAND, Oregon and has a great emotronic sound to his music. This particular track is taken from his last ep titled, “Feed Me To The Wolves EP”
If the Land of Misfit Toys elected a team of cultural ambassadors, Logan Lynn would be its poet laureate. In Portland’s pulsating music scene, he occupies a singular position- an emo prophet with a penchant for electronic beats, preaching the Good Word to drug-damaged crybabies.
For the past decade, Logan has been writing and recording his own music. In 2000, he released his debut album, Glee, a blissful, sex-drenched romp through some emotionally treacherous territory. Produced by Pfog, heavy themes of religion, sexuality and identity played out alongside upbeat grooves and smiley-face rhythms. One critic said it “put the ‘disco’ back in discomfort.” That blend of spleen-venting lyrics and “Let’s dance!” optimism owes a lot to Logan’s unique, mildly scary upbringing.
Homeschooled in a fundamentalist Christian household, he was completely isolated from popular music. (Let’s just say the tagline “I Want My MTV” had especial resonance for this 80s baby.) Escape came in the form of the mid-90s underground rave scene, deejaying for tweaked-out teenagers in the Midwest, and later moving to the West Coast to pursue a degree in art school. All this helps to account for the leitmotifs threaded through much of his music: sex, drugs and Jesus.
His self-titled sophomore effort came out in 2006, using his earlier work as a springboard for exploring fresh sonic territory. He collaborated with several Portland artists on some truly radical music videos- Think the backroom of a bathhouse as reenacted by Ken dolls. The album release coincided with a much-praised performance at San Francisco’s all-leather Folsom Street Fair. To retool a phrase from the aforementioned music critic, he puts the ‘mo back in emo.
Josh Wink (born Joshua Winkelman in 1970) is an electronic musicDJ, label owner, producer, remixer, and artist. He is a native of Philadelphia, United States. A pioneering DJ in the American rave scene during the early 1990s, Wink was the most prominent exponent of the tribal forms of techno and house in the U.S. In 1995, he released several hits, including “Don’t Laugh,” “I’m Ready” (which hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart) and “Higher State of Consciousness,” which topped the dance charts in Europe. He has had many recent club hits such as “How’s Your Evening So Far?” (with Lil Louis) and “Superfreak (Freak)” and has also gained a lot of attention for his remixes of FC Kahuna, Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Towa Tei, Ladytron and Depeche Mode, among others.
Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck met in college at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. Justin grew up in Beverly on the south side of Chicago. In interviews he has said his style comes most from the Real Book as well as the entire catalogs of the Beatles and Nirvana.
Colin Yarck has said he is heavily influenced by the electronic music scene in Chicago. He started making beats with Pat Pelligrini in a basement in Park Ridge, IL, on the north side of Chicago. In 2003 Justin Sconza and Coln Yarck started making music under the name “Walter Meego”, a name for one of Justin’s alter egos.
In the summer of 2003, Justin is rumored to have made hundreds of songs and unfinished ideas on his four-track and put them together on audio cassettes entitled “Walter Meego”. A lot of people got them and they became hip in Chicago.
Justin, Colin and Pat recorded Walter Meego EP in the Park Ridge studio that fall. Starting in January of 2004, the three of them began performing regularly throughout Chicago under the name “Walter Meego.” The band enjoyed initial support from promoters at Chicago venues like Metro, the Empty Bottle and Double Door.
Following the release of “Walter Meego EP” in April of 2005, the UK’s Rough Trade, as well as Internet blogs like Music For Robots began to strongly support Walter Meego.
In the summer of 2005, Pat Pelligrini quit Walter Meego. Soon after, Jarrett Spiegel came on to replace him. After a string of shows and inner-band turmoil, Spiegel was replaced with Andrew Bernhardt in the summer of 2006, who currently performs live as a member of Walter Meego.
