Weekly Bits 5/2012

As everybody knows by now, D'Angelo is back and has played a couple of concerts in Europe. First this video from Stockholm showed up, then another one recorded in Amsterdam. If you missed all of this, Sam Champ and Okayplayer put together this mix.

I'm not much a compilation guy in general, but of course there's an exception for everything. This month there'll be two I'm very much looking forward to: The Minimal Wave Tapes Vol. 2 and Trevor Jackson's Metal Dance. There's a nice video interview of Trevor talking about design, his first musical attempts and memories of clubbing in 1980s London.

Following the recent Unreleased, Alternate Versions and Demos by Domu, the former broken beat innovator set up a YouTube channel where you can listen to more of his early work (some of it made on the Amiga.)

In September 2010, I sported the debut release by The Reboot Joy Confession. This year his debut album will see a release on Philpot Records and here's a little teaser.

One of the more interesting remix collaborations in a while comes from Lindstrøm and Todd Rundgren. You can listen to Todd's remix (!) over at Rolling Stone.
