FAKTORY PRESENTS - EMALKAY

February 11th is going to be an epic night in Toronto thanks to the Faktory. Emalkay's debut appearance in Toronto is going to be unreal! Get your game face on for this one its gonna be rough as fuck! Emalkay's new material is super heavy, and well, you just don't wanna miss out on this. In my opinion, Caspa and the Dub Police crew are gonna be representing dubstep in a big way this year, so watch out! Oh, and I believe the sound at this one will be courtesy of the 40hz crew so even more reason not to miss out...

And don't forget about the local talent folks, Zeds Dead and Spyne are bound to please, and Fluke will no doubt close the night with a fucking walloping set. IT'S GONNA BE HUGE!

BIG UP THE FAKTORY ON THIS ONE!!!!!

One more thing, for those of you that have been sleeping, I'm re-posting links to Fluke's last three mixes below. Get em cause thier still fuckin hot!

FLUKE VOLUME 4
FLUKE VOLUME 5

Colonies - Thirty Thousand

Year: 2009
Label: ????? it's indie, friends.

Ok so this band is so so amazing, I believe out of Seattle. They are just so perfect if your into straight up no fucking around indie rock. The drummers awesome, lots of crashing cymbals and stuff here. They really rock out and I love this album. Think along the lines of Japandroids here. OMG (ha ha) I love music and hate abbreviations. So here's some reviews about Colonies (taken from their myspace page)...

"Colonies is probably the best indie rock band that you haven’t heard of. Yet."
---Redefine Magazine

"...Colonies combines intelligence and ambience. Gentle keys and samples flavor heavy, bombastic percussion courtesy of Centoni, while Shumate's ethereal vocals float above the band's instrumentals. Crystal-clear guitar work cuts through the haunting, atmospheric quality of Colonies' songs, and the band somehow remains sonically captivating even in tense moments of quiet noise."
---The News Tribune

"...music that constantly recalls the moments after a summer storm. The rapid-fire cymbal action of drummer Adrian Centoni is a perfect counterbalance to the weary vocals coming from Travis Shumate. Their newest album, Sleep Patterns, is another chance to bolster your musical IQ."
---Rich and Blake Recommend

So there you go! Don't sleep on this one and for fucks sakes leave a comment, will ya? Take the time to come back and talk to me... I'm lonely.

Bearstronaut - Broken Handclaps - 2009

Year: October 2009
Label: Unknown/Unsigned?

I came across this really neat band from Boston. It's been on repeat, to say the least. It's quircky indie synth pop but with a rock sort of edge that make these guys stand out of the synth pop hippie hipster crowd. Definitely worth a listen. It's kinda like a clash between guitars and keyboards and it works cause neither one wins. Yup, this ones a keeper, it'll make your day.

Southbound Hangers - NYE Mix

Ok fuckers I'm back with some things that I think you'll like. Lets start with some mother fucking heavy beats though, k? Big up the Southbound Hangers (ha ha to their name, I think I get it) out of Brighton. These guys seem to be movin' on up, and their production is sickening. Love it, this mix is pretty rad. So remember that no one best fuck with U.K. dubstep, overseas continue to represent. Wake up North America!

download this mix bitches!

NEW MUSIC?

Where oh where has all the neat new music gone? Hmmm. I'm still waiting, and I'm sure you are too! Soon my friends, soon. And yes I know Contra is all over the place but I'm not posting it unless someone asks me to cause it didn't meet my expectations. I'm such a fuckin snob. Anyways, until something peaks my interest, I will continue to post images of circus bears. Bye for now and I hope everyone had a good holiday.
